Yes Robert!!! I take 1/4 teaspoon of borax at the least a day a year now with zero side effects! My wife 1/8th at least and no side effects! It did immensely improve her menopause symptoms and our sex lives, she is 56 and me 58!!! I even put a pinch a day on my dog’s food and cured his extreme Candida (yeast) outbreaks!!! It is a miracle mineral but people are scared to take the borax or take to low a dose!!! You need at least 50 mg a day in my book to see any results!!!

Glad you know about Earth Clinic, it's such a treasure trove of information. We've been boron imbibers for about a year now. It has helped with my spouse's arthritic pain in his knee. Boron and Lugol's iodine are the only things I do for my health (other than eat carnivore).

Great post, thanks. I laughed about your 20 Mule Team freak out. (I always salt my watermelon too.) 😀 I tried it years ago - bought caps and the big box but maybe my dose was too low. Made some laundry soap too. Another maligned wonder is DMSO. If they ban it or use it for livestock, it’s probably great. We find MSM is also quite effective for arthritis symptoms. Best.

DMSO is the bomb. Had to leave my supply in Canada when I left.

Any idea where I can find some in So Cal? (I know where to get it, albeit under the counter, in Las Vegas.)

Many thanks in advance.

Edit: The last time I purchased it, 8 oz was $8.00.

Found it @ Walmart just now for $22.00 US! Wowza.

At least it's available though.

May I ask what the reason was for having to leave your DMSO supply in Canada when you left? I live in Canada... (I use and introduce others to DMSO on a regular basis). At some point I will be returning Stateside permanently and was wondering if there is an issue in crossing the border with DMSO. Thanks

Fed up's avatar

Sorry about not replying sooner, Dr. Yoho - just saw this now and did not get an email alert. There is a website from a lady in Canada, Jini Patel-Thompson, that has a lot of great information, specifically on IBD, but uses DMSO a lot. She had Crohn’s and healed herself. Her father and brother(s)? are physicians but she has a healthy distrust of the mecical system and is also awake. Some of her stuff is being censored. Her site is listentoyourgut.com. I learned to say no to colonoscopies from her info, some of which my GI doc confirmed. Smart lady.

I have tested boron via liquid by Trace Minerals (one dropper per day). So far I have been on it twice, then fell of the wagon, and every time, my body aches returned. I am convinced that this stuff works. Amazing how many helpful things there are... if you really look. :-)

Dr Yoho, when you add boron to the liter of water, do you drink the entire liter over the course of the day?

yes at 1/4 teaspoon in the liter

I'd check that dosage out, 113 mg sounds extremely high. I've been supplementing boron for years at a dose of around 6mg. a day. You're talking almost twenty times that. We mix a teaspoon of borax into a quart of water and drink two teaspoons a day, which works out to approximately 6mg.

Agent 1-4-9's avatar

I'll add that it has no taste, we add it to our morning coffee. Also, my wife and I are 60, without a hint of arthritis. One box of 20 mule team borax costs around $5 and will last you a lifetime.

Don, I take at least the 113 mg to 140 a day and my wife about 75 to 100mg a day for the last year with no toxicity issues to date! We feel fantastic!!! It is the only supplement I have ever taken were I felt it actually make a difference in my life!!!

Agent 1-4-9's avatar

Really? I knew it had numerous benefits and started taking it probably a decade ago. I think it raised my testosterone. But I also had heard toxicity reports. Good info is hard to find so I kept it on the the low side. It's a shame this info isn't readily available. I might consider a higher dose, thanks!

It boosted my testosterone TREMENDOUSLY!!! I had just started back exercising lightly and after taking it for a couple weeks my muscles got a lot firmer, more and better pumps and major growth! It also made my 57 year old libido jump a lot higher too!!! It is a miracle mineral my friend!!! My wife at 56 years old had little to no interest in sex anymore because of menopause even though she had been extremely interested only a few years prior!!! Holy Cow, when she started taking the Borax (Boron), about 1/4 teaspoon a day as she weighed about 185 when she started, she is a BBW woman, her libido went literally through the roof!!! She was actually following me around the house asking me to have sex with her and we were having sex 2 to 3 times a day for about 2 months!!! I had to even tell her a couple of times, “no more! I am exhausted and worn it!!!” It even gave her here lubrication back in her vagina that had severely gone away!!!

I try to tell everyone about it and most just say, “but it’s laundry detergent it will make you sick!!! I send them the exact info that is contained in this Substack and tell them about my and my wife’s experiences and most still just refuse to believe me!!! My stupid ass brother-in-law, wife’s brother, even put a teaspoon full in his mouth trying to eat it, after I told him how to dissolve a 1/4 teaspoon in water and drink throughout the day, called us up and said that stuff taste like shit and don’t work!!! I seriously don’t understand what is wrong with people nowadays!!!

I know it is a valid product that works because Germany and Australia have banned its usage in any form and you can’ buy it in England hardly, I am told!!! That tells me right there how good it must be as if it was bad for you like the hackcines, Remdesvir and the Covid anti-viral pills from Pfizer, they would be commercials on tv telling you to take it!!!

It just sounded high, but look how low the RDAs of various vitamins are. I try to tell people they need way more and they think I'm a nut. And we've been fear mongered about vitamins and supplements. After listening to the podcast and reading some comments here I think I'll try a higher dose.

5-LOXIN is a refined concentrate of the active ingredient of what came to be called boswellia after it was largely forgotten to have come from frankincense. It has held my arthritis in remission since I started taking it.

Thanks Dr. Yoho! This is fascinating stuff. Thank you for all the links as well. Hubby just had arthroscopy and acromioplasty on his shoulder. Surgeon said he had grade 2-3 out of 4 arthritis and he also has gout. This boron/borax sounds great and how amazing that you have had positive results so quickly! We will be giving it a try.

I do just a pinch of Borax (Prescribed for Life USP NF) about 3-4 times per week in about 24 oz of water. I have an old hand injury that get’s inflamed and painful. The borax makes a big difference. I went away from 20 Mule brand as it doesn’t dissolve as easily in water vs. the USP NF.

Just be cautious. If I had a $1.00 for every diabetes, bowel movement, and Tinnitus ad I've seen I'd have a nice nest egg, instead of worrying about If I can ever afford new Hearing Aids. I had to take them out for the 2 MRIs. #1 was with their foam earplugs, I heard every sound the machine made, and I'm nearly deaf without my Aids, #2 I used the crappy music muffs but still heard the machine over the music and muffs. I've tried Turmeric for a year in the right amount for OA, never worked nor did the 2 years of Glucosamine Chondroitin formula.

Hello Gail, I believe that tinnitus has multiple possible etiologies. Clinical, I’ve often seen a deficiency in zinc and/ or B12. Home zinc testing is fairly easy to do. Acquire some good quality liquid zinc and take a swig and hold it for about five seconds. Over a few seconds you should start to taste a very ugly taste if you have enough zinc. If you are deficient this taste will not appear and / or appear very lightly.

You may also want to research The use of vitamin K 2–7 to help decalcify any areas that have too much calcium. Wishing you well.

Usually, I get the 2 small toes. on both feet not at the same time. I hit furniture legs. Didn't start that till my 40's.

Saddle shoes were in style for us. As well as Mary Janes. Never liked them. I wear house shoes until the swelling goes down. I'm hard to fit for shoes to begin with, at a size 5 medium. For these China-made ones, I need a 5.5 Wide. And there is no quality, despite the fact I buy Clarks clogs. Which are not cheap. Very hard to find.
