Boron: A Remedy for Arthritis?
As a general rule I comment on and present information stemming from scientific research; results of which have been published in peer reviewed journals. The immediate source may not be such a journal but, the origin of the information presented can be traced to one. This is an exception so take the information provided in the linked article, AWAY WITH ARTHRITIS, with an appropriate degree of skepticism. Nevertheless I find it worth mentioning because the underlying malady discussed- arthritis- afflicts many and there is no identifed cure.
The recommended treatment discussed is taking borax; an extract of boron. Boron facilitates the metabolism of calcium in green plants. Like most things that are ingested too much boron can be toxic, so take precautions if you decide to use it. From the link:
"Rex researched many areas of the world looking at arthritis incidence and soil content. Israel has some of the best soil in the world and a high boron content. An independent survey in 1978-1980 at the Kaplan Hospital showed arthritis for the whole country to be less than 1%.
In New Zealand a number of spas pools are recommended as being good for arthritis. They all have high boron readings. One motel at Ngawha has a collection of wheelchairs and crutches left behind by people no longer needing them when they leave.
The NZ green lipped mussel extract that is claimed to relieve arthritis was originally gathered from White Island, a volcanic island with vents under the sea. The mussels absorbed boron from the sea in this way and this was the secret to their success. Mussels gathered from other areas do not have the same effect as they lack the boron.
There are a number of degenerative diseases that appear to benefit from boron supplementation."
