If one is concerned about the purity of borax, then they could always purchase boric acid. It is available in some drug stores in high purity. Of course if you use that, the amount would go down since it contains a higher percentage of boron than borax does.

I just read a few of these posts and find it very interesting. Are you talking about the "20 Mule Team Borax Natural Laundry Booster"? Boron may be good for one if needed, but is it OK to ingest the Borax product? How do you know what else is in it and that it is safe? I always have a box around for the other stuff, and it sure doesn't suggest ingesting the material. Sounds as though it has helped your condition Daddybob. Really very interesting. I never knew boron was a hard to get element, and had such consequences if deficient.

    high?<

    That's about right. Anymore will start to give you a herx if you have
    pathogenic arthritis. I try to take this much every day about 6
    days a week.
    When I took it 3-4 times a day for a week I got quite a herx from
    it. Backed
    off, went without for a few days, herx went away. Did it all over,
    got herx
    again. Backed off, herx stopped. Next time I took a lot of Bragg
    vinegar
    because it has boron, just to make sure about it all. Got a herx
    again.

    Taking the borax steadily is easier to live with and works just fine.

    I am on a list to try a new boron product when it comes out. I'll
    report
    when that happens. For now, borax is probebly the single sheapest
    and most
    effective thing I've ever done for my arthritis. I've done lots of
    things
    that have worked, but nothing has worked this good, this cheap,
    this easy.
