How to Cheaply Obtain & Use Boron for Arthritis
Categories
Further to my earlier note on "Boron and Arthritis" here is great way to supplement yourself with this banned nutrient and do an end run around the regulators!
Chris Gupta
If you are over 50, consider taking boron (30-90 mg Borax). Neuropath Rex Newnam cured himself and hundreds people of arthritis with this much neglected nutrient.
http://www.wddty.co.uk/
In a double blind trial comparing 6 mg/d of boron with placebo in the treatment of arthritis, of the 10 patients on boron, five improved while only one of ten in the placebo group improved. The boron had significant benefit in severe osteoarthritis. The 6 mg of boron was in two tablets containing 25 mg of borax (sodium tetraborate decahydrate) . The experiment was carried over an eight week period. There were no side effects noted.

Osteoarthritis and Boron
Six mgs/d of Boron (2 tablets of 25 mg Borax Sodium Tetraborate Decahydrate) was evaluated in 10 patients with radiographically proven osteoarthritis while 10 patients received placebos. Out of the 10 patients taking boron 5 improved while only 1 improved in the placebo group. There were no apparent side effects and the author suggests this limited trial should encourage further investigation.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Current research points to boron's being the equivalent of a biochemical helper in bone health, rather than a front-line soldier. But scientists also cite evidence that boron somehow prevents calcium from being excreted, plays a part in the correct balance of other minerals, and helps the body to avoid osteoporosis in the first place. It certainly seems to be central to the biochemical equation.
Boron may also have a role in another debilitating bone condition - arthritis. Arthritis is almost unknown in Israel, where levels of boron in the soil - and therefore in foods - are high. In Jamaica, however, it's the reverse situation: boron levels are low and arthritis rates are correspondingly high. That boron may have a role in the prevention or modification of arthritis is supported by research done with arthritis-susceptible rats by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. From this research, USDA scientists hypothesize that boron may modulate the immune system and protect against inflammatory disease. However, much work must be done before scientists can say that boron can help reduce the human suffering caused by arthritis.

Is this a "typo"?
The 6 mg of boron was in two tablets containing 25 ag of borax (sodium tetraborate decahydrate) . The experiment was carried over an eight week period. .............
Was "25 ag" supposed to be 25 mg?
Posted by: Lawrence on November 3, 2003 02:26 AM
Yes it certainly looks like a typo have fixed thanks.

A quick search at google for those looking for boron tablets is here

I have read your theories on Boron and have tried it for while and DO think that it helped my arthritis. But my question is - it seems that somewhere when I was first researching about Boron, it was said that it was also (being a B vitamin) to have some helpfullness in calming irritability, etc. but I cannaot find that information again. Can you help or have I lost my mind????

where can i find sodium tetraborate decahydrate capsules?
Posted by: michel on February 13, 2005 08:06 PM
I was wondering if sodium
tetraborate decahydrate is the
same Borax found in the
cleaning sections of department
stores? It must be hard to find
in capsules or tablets as
Michel has alluded. I cannot
find a supplier so far.

Addendum: It seems that sodium
tetraborate decahydrate is the
original Borax with 10 molecules
of water, and tetrahydrate
would have 5 molecules of
water per a Google search of
Borax, and Websters Unabridged.

Last addendum:
Before rushing out and buying
Borax this needs to be read:

15-20 grams said to be lethel.
Comments anyone???

One more addendum:
