Thank you. Sipping throughout the day sounds smart. I usually drink the serving with borax in a about half an hour to an hour.

Yes, I am following the "half your weight" standard. I weigh 160 and I drink roughly 72 oz a day (I use a mason or "quart" jar which holds about 24 oz, and I drink three of these throughout the day).

Just to clarify: borax is not acidic. Never was.
Kasima; Same as if you put bicarbonate of soda in different liquids, you can make a good splash bomb out of it, still not acidic.


You can take borax in one go, or in water throughout the day; your choice, I prefer the former, in a capsule, taken with my vit c.

The head ache. My hunch say that you are touching the issue yourself SS; some detox started. Salt comes to my mind too! Always with head aches.
Also consider the combination of what you took, could make your Iodine work better = bromide detox. Many possibilities.

Try taking it my way; 00 capsule filled 1/4 or 1/3 full with borax. One gram of vit c, taken with some magnesium, all downed with salty water. The IMAM would work too.

"Plus, borax is acidic (found that out the hard way when I put it into seltzer water -- KABOOM!) "

No. No kaboom. Borax is sodium tetraborate which is the sodium salt of a weak acid and that makes it a moderately strong base. Borax is the opposite of acidic, it is basic, first year chemistry stuff. You might have witnessed effervescence if you did that but it would be no different than had you put any particulate substance into carbonated water. The particles act as nucleation sites for the decomp of the bicarbonate ion in acidic media as carbonic acid is, and a little powder has an enormous surface area for nucleation. But this is not anything to do with nuclear, don't let my use of "nucleation" frighten you, there is no cause for worry or concern at all. Just don't do any chemistry experiments without wearing your safety goggles, standard practice even in the high school.
