Here are a couple of excerpts:

 

Curious to know why borax is one of the most important remedies to kill fungus

and nano-bacteria? Us too! We asked our independent contributor from Bangkok for

clarification on why borax is an important home remedy to consider in certain

cases like dog mange, lupus and rosacea.

Ted's response: " There are a lot of evidence why borax is effective against

nearly all forms of fungus, whether they be mycoplasma found in lupus, rosacea,

dog mange, interstitial cystitis plasmodium parasites, Morgellons disease, or

even pneumonia. I think borax medicine is one of the medicines most ignored,

misinformed or even suppressed in our present society. The authorities have done

it so well that very few know that the toxicity of borax is about equal to that

of simple table salt.

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand writes: " Consider taking borax. Some people believed

the demodex mites are responsible for rosacea. They may be right. But, there are

others too that are not yet identified. I prefer to lump all these insect issues

to just one category: nanoinsects. These insects have several weakness that you

can kill them, or at least weaken them. One obvious ones is borax. The treatment

can be broken down to two things;

1. Taken internally: Try 1/8 teaspoon to 1/4 teaspoon of borax in one liter of

water/day. You just drink this water throughout the day. If it runs out then

drink just normal water, with some magnesium added if possible. Magnesium is

found in certain seeds such as sunflower. They seem to be synergistic with the

vitamin D as vitamin D promotes calcium and the body needs to balance both

magnesium and calcium to an ideal amount.

2. Used externally: Dog mange is confirmed demodex mites and the only treatment

that effectively cured of dog mange is 1% hydrogen peroxide and borax saturated

solution applied topically. Many people believe the demodex mites is the cause

of rosacea. What I am sure about is it is an insect issue. The method of killing

them is external application of 1% hydrogen peroxide with borax saturated

solution to the face, unrinsed. It tends to cause drying. So you can apply

appropriate lotions to prevent drying, such as jojoba oil, aloe vera or lavender

oil. "

My observation and experience with borax is that it is like a medicine and not

meant to be taken in volume.  I believe those warnings are for large amounts of

borax.  I make my own soap for my family use and I sell it privately and in

boutiques and have been for 15 years with no ill reports from clients and use

borax in the recipe and have ingested borax medicinally.  I have never had any

of those unfortunate symptoms which sound like something you could have happen

if you were to consume large amounts daily.  - - DAS

Symptoms of poisoning are:

- Irritation of skin and respiratory tract.

- The gastrointestinal tract , skin vascular system and brain are the principal

organs and tissues affected.

- Nausea, persistent vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

- Lethargy and headache may occur but are less frequent.

- In severe poisonings, a beefy red skin rash affecting palms, soles, buttocks

and scrotum has been described. With severe poisoning, erythematous and

exfoliative rash, unconsciousness, respiratory depression, and renal failure.

Safe hair washes are: raw eggs or a teaspoon or two of arm and hammer baking

soda in a cup of warm water or mixed as a paste and rubbed into the scalp then

rinsed. For cream rinse, with a teaspoon of vinegar in a cup of water or a

tablespoon of lemon worked through the hair. Rinse again afterward.

We heal from the inside on Bee's plan:

Candida cannot be cured by " killing it off. " Candida is only cured by building

up the immune system, which is done by:

1) Consuming " proper nutrients " (diet plus supplements),

2) Eliminating toxins and foods that feed candida (they also feed bacteria and

cancer),

3) Eliminating damaging foods, and

4) Eliminating toxins in general.

Good antifungals (if you must use them on your scalp) are tablespoon of coconut

oil with 1 or 2 drops of oil of oregano mixed in. Or just the coconut oil.
