I have been taking Boron for a while but just started taking Borax. When “they” say something is bad it is usually good. Just always do the opposite and we should all be managing just fine. :)
Caution is warranted with borax imo. I read about it and I was interested in its potential use for myself, but I wanted to do some investigating before I actually used it. My first potential issue is the fact that it's mined and not purified in any way. What else might be in there? Aluminum for one thing, given its abundance in the earth's crust. Not that this is conclusive, but these are things that I found related to aluminum and borax:
The company that we get most of our borax from actually sells it to pharmaceutical companies, after it's put through a refining process to "ensure low levels of elemental impurities". Is aluminum one of those? I don't know. So I did a search to find out if aluminum is in the soil in the area where borax is mined. I found an old geological survey that was done in a hot spring there and I found that yes, aluminum is there. Is it in a harmful form and is there enough of it? Its soluble form, Al3+, is definitely a problem, but I wasn't sure if this is the form that's found in dry earth and if what's there would be a problem in the digestive tract. Looking at the Royal Society of Chemistry's website, I'm inclined to believe that it's in the form of aluminum silicate. I then found in a comments section on Christopher Exley's substack that he says to avoid sodium aluminum silicate "at all costs". That's enough for me to reject laundry standard borax for ingestion AND laundry use (I wouldn't rely on the thoroughness of your standard washing machine's rinse cycle given the government's water-saving regulations; I saw first hand how ineffectual rinse cycles are. That's why I bought a Speed Queen).
My next question: is there borax that's been refined to remove aluminum? I found Prescribed For Life borax on Amazon that claims to be USP-NF, so I sent an email to the company asking if it's had any aluminum refined out of it. They couldn't be bothered to respond, so I definitely wouldn't use their product, either.
Given the information that I read about borax, it seems to me that boron is really the key to its usefulness, so why risk increasing the aluminum load in my body that I'm in the process of trying to reduce?
The government fights to ban all substances that ACTUALLY improve our health, and it fights for force us to be filled with pure POISON. And this goes way beyond greed. They want us miserable and then DEAD.
I was diagnosed with bone-on-bone arthritis in my left knee last fall, and the orthopedic surgeon told me I'd need a knee replacement because the pain would only get worse.
Instead I started putting 1/8 tsp of Borax in my morning pot of coffee and getting back into the habit of going for a walk every day. I rarely limp any more and my knee rarely aches.
I myself started taking a Boron supplement of 3 mg daily starting around 6 months ago. I had a serious health issue that improved slowly after beginning the Boron daily and it still continues to improve. Originally, before spending cash on health food store Boron I had thought of Borax but after Googling it was scared off, but 40 days ago I found out I had been lied to. I purchased a 4 lb. box of Borax for $8.00 Can. and that's a lifetime supply. Been ingesting small amounts of Borax for over a month and I feel fine.

This is an EXTERMINATION.
