Hi Gina,
You seem to know a lot about borax, so have you taken this internally? I saw a lot of info in regards to using 1/8th tsp in a quart of water and drink throughout the day, so am trying this. So far I've had nothing significant come up other than my low back where I have herniated disc is not bothering like it typically does. I have three in my neck from water skiing and so far I haven't noticed too much in that area, maybe it takes a while. I read that people had good success with back pain with this remedy. Oh I also added a few drops of IO to the mixture for good measure. =)
