Re: boron toxicity

 I've been taking borax for about 5 years similar to Ginagirl. I started using it, together with high dose lugols iodine, amongst other things, to get rid of my systemic candida problem(successfully gone now). I took the borax as borax water -- 1/8-1/4 tspn borax(sodium tetraborate) dissolved in one litre of water. Then I would add my daily dose of high dose lugol's drops into the borax water and drink that liter throughout the day. Works well, spreads the dosages safely throughout the day and I would always take a rest from the borax/iodine water at the weekends.. 

As far as I'm concerned, borax is the ultimate fungal killer and iodine's not so bad in that area either. I also spray the outside of my body after showering with a garden sprayer containing a mixture of epsom salts and borax in water -- keeps all the fungal skin problems in check and also removes and improves body odour.  I have alot of respect for borax -- it balances hormones, removes fluoride from the body and is particularly good for increasing bone density. Borax is a life saver for people with arthritis because it kills the mycoplasma cause, a sort  fungal Ebola-type of bacteria that eats and destroys cartledge. Anyway, here is some older research on borax and arthritis:

In Israel their drinking water has a higher borax content than normal. The incidence of occurrence of arthritis in America is about 22% of her population across the board. In Israel, only 0.35% of their population has arthritis. Borax in action. 

I still take iodine and borax today, though not as intensely as when I had the candida.
