Guest guest Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Steve, enter " Carnarvon Borax arthritis " in your search engine to see the fuller story. This refers to Carnarvon in Western Australia, where the ground and water is high in boron and the residents low in arthritis. The method of taking it was given as dipping a finger in a jar of borax up to the first knuckle and just eating it like that every time you passed the jar. One would think, though, that one could add it to one's drinking water a pinch per pitcher, perhaps. And the DMSO route sounds plausible. No, it's no problem to ingest it, and there has been favourable testimony in the past from people whose relatives worked in boron mines (?). People on discussion groups often get alarmed and cry halt and say it's a laundry product, stop it! Yup. Nice healthy one - thanks, Hulda! But it's a mineral, too. It's in with the other chemical, not necessarily similar to it. Borax has the effect of softening water. It also kills germs, I believe. Hulda taught us to prepare a saturated solution of borax, and dilute it in a spray bottle for cleaning our surfaces, and also to use it in laundry and bathroom. R http://members.upnaway.com/~poliowa/Away%20with%20Arthritis.html With his scientific background Rex looked for the cause in recent changes. As an agriculturist he knew that boron was necessary for green plants, where it helps in calcium metabolism. In pursuing this he decided to trial it on himself using borax, a boron extract. Rex took 30 mg of borax, twice a day. In 3 weeks the pain swelling and stiffness had gone. He stopped taking it . A year later the symptoms came back and disappeared quickly again on resumption of his borax dose. (older people may take longer) Over the next 10 years he told many people he met and they tried borax with similar results. In 1976 Rex had some boron tablets made up. By the early 80's he was selling 10,000 bottles a month. Rex approached a drug company marketing a common painkilling drug for arthritis. They were only concerned about loss of their own profits and ended up instigating a government law that boron be declared a poison in any concentration. This resulted in Rex being fined and made boron unavailable. Boron is toxic if taken in large quantities. Rex points out that ordinary salt is toxic as well if too much is taken but salt is not banned. Rex has since researched the effects of boron . It is well known that Carnarvon is a good place for arthritis. Many elderly people go there for a couple of months at a time to get rid of their arthritis. In 1981 Rex employed a number of school leavers to carry out a survey in Carnarvon. This showed that only 1% of the local population had arthritis. Other main Australian towns had a 20% rate of arthritis. Rex investigated further and found that it was not the climate that helped but the high boron content in water & food grown in the Gascoyne River bed. > Daddybob, > > I'm intrigued by your comments related to Borax as it being 'real good' for arthritis. > > Would this lend itself to having a small amount combined with some DMSO and applied topically to areas of the body afflicted with arthritis? > > Also wondering what taking Borax 'to the limit' would entail. > > I'm anxious to get some relief for some of my conditions, and moreso to help my poor wife.... but anything that sounds like chlorine makes me nervous. > > Thanks, > > Steve > > > > > > I tried it last fall when this info came out.
