Interesting info on Boron and it's anti inflammatory properties.
Conclusions The findings from the latest study support the hypothesis that physiologic amounts of dietary boron reduce the risk for inflammatory disease by helping hold in check a system that is constantly poised to attack, a balance that permits elimination of pathogens but avoids autoimmunity. The hypothesis is based on the concept that boron serves as a suppressive signal that down-regulates enzymatic activities typically elevated during normal inflammatory process.
