Boron is a necessary trace element the body needs, but like many others, too much of it is toxic. Generally a supplemental amount by mouth would be to wet a fingertip, dip it in the borax, and lick it off. No more than that in a day. It has a similar toxicity as boric acid, which is used as an ant poison.

If you look at the label on Terro ant poison, you will find it contains borax as the active ingredient. Interestingly it warns to keep it away from food, and not to store around food, and to not use on things like countertops. However, borax, which is 100% borax, instead of a few percent like the ant poison has no such warnings. Weird Federal regulations that seem more concerned with labeling than logic.

I have a question if someone would be so kind as to provide an answer. I bought 20 Mule Team Borax this weekend at the store. On the side panels there is a warning about ingesting this product. It warns if you ingest this Borax that you should contact a doctor immediately. Is this warning because they don't want people to know that this product can provide a cure for this candida? Or will I get deathly ill if this is taken internally? Thank you .. Judy
