Hi Pardon?, apologies not necessary, and thank you for pointing out my spelling boo-boo. As 'Joe ordinary the carpenter', fluoride is not a word I have been called on to actually write many times in my career.
Regarding your counter to the study presented by Lucid Lunacy, I am reminded of the pro/anti AGW debate, in that the hidden sub-text is more relevant than the actual debate.
PS If you are in the UK, where do you buy your borax for whitening your whites? It seems to have been banned from public sale in the UK.
So I'm not sure what you're getting at here re. the mention of AGW.

As Paracelsus said in the 16th century, "It is dose that makes the poison. One half of rats given 2400 milligrams of borax died, usually of renal (kidney) failure. That is about one-twelfth of an ounce - not much. That is less than the average lethal dose of ethylene glycol (antifreeze) for primates. Anyone using sodium tetraboron decahydrate or working regularly around it should have regular BUN (blood urea nitrogen) blood tests done to check renal function.

I work in a lab that has borax aplenty, but I'm not sure that I would use it in my beverages. I'll have to research and conclude which side is telling the truth.
If It's supposed to remove Fluoride, I suppose we have to make sure the claims are true.
I like to think I'm fairly smart, I dream well and have had other mystical experiences. So if fluoride removal increases these aspects of an individual, then I might be the messiah returned upon detox.
I believe fluoride probably does have negative side effects, but most likely in huge doses.
I'm beginning to think that the PTB can be useful as a reverse-recommendation source.
Any more useful insight into borax for fibromyalgia? My son is seriously afflicted. I think it started after a mandated hepatitis vaccination for college.
One forum contributor suffered with Fibromyalgia/Rosacea, chronic fatigue and TMJ for over 10 years which she believed were caused by fluoride. She used 1/8 tsp of borax and 1/8 tsp of sea salt in a litre of de-chlorinated water, and drank this for 5 days each week. Within two weeks her face cleared, the redness faded, body temperature normalized, energy level increased, and she steadily lost excess weight. The only side-effect was an initial aggravation of her Rosacea symptoms. Another post: "7 years ago thyroid cancer, the next year adrenal fatigue, then early menopause, the following year uterine prolapse followed by hysterectomy - the following year fibromyalgia and neuropathy. Early Childhood was fluorinated water along with fluoride tablets. Fall of 2008 I was looking at total disability. I could barely walk and couldn't sleep because of the pain and was throwing up daily from the pain in my back. ... After reading about fluoride I came to understand where all of my problems originated. ... I began the borax detox of 1/8 tsp in a litre of water and within 3 days my symptoms were almost gone."

No male should ever expose themselves to Borax or Boric Acid. David's symptoms (testicle and kidney atrophy) are classic case of Boric Acid poisoning -- just a few weeks of daily exposure to Borax is known to cause testicle atrophy and sterility in dogs and is suspected in sterility of humans that work with the chemical. It also damages kidneys and to lesser extent the liver. Please, people do not even let Borax touch your skin if you're a male. Look it up on Google and you'll find articles like www.peopleforcleanbeds.org...
While there is a threshold below which Borax is fairly safe, if you go over that threshold it is quite dangerous. The threshold is very dependent on body weight -- definitely don't let Borax anywhere near an infant or a pregnant woman. So there certainly may be people who use it without noticeable adverse affect, it is not worth it to have some people seriously injured by it -- it is dangerous advice.
I understand your suspicion of flouride, but then you should be suspicious of all environmental chemical exposure -- why are you exposing yourself to a chemical with more proven risk than flouride?"

I wouldn't ingest Borax just saying it is used to kill cockroaches and very poisonous.
EW.

I have taken borax for several months already.
You made the first reply. Your freshly cleansed minds-eye must have alerted you to my thread!
Oh, it also cures fybromyalgia as well as detox the fluoride from your entire body, curing lots of ailments and upcoming ailments like bone cancer, brittle bones, lowered iq, low enery levels etc.
The article mentions positive results with breast and prostate cancers, lupus, it even cures smelly feet aparrentley! I'm getting quite excited about this stuff already, and I haven't even got any yet.
Would you say you have noticed any positive results yourself?
