Re: Question: Has Boron actually cured joint pain?
Yes, I was a little disappointed of borax` effect on joints; as in the beginning of it I thought it was a cure all:)
But, I guess its painkilling effect is would be on some types of
Arthritis / pain, depending on its cause. One
Arthritis case had reduced pain (50% or something) but it did nothing for her hips where the cartilage was completely gone, she needed a hip replacement. But she still take borax as it helps with the muscular pains (fibromyalgia-ish). Alot of these are probably also magnesium deficiency, boron help by retaining the mag.
I forgot to mention my sport damaged knee and shoulder; the shoulder no difference since
Iodine / boron. (reduced mobility + a little pain sometimes when I exercise wrong or too much) But the knee has been completely pain free the last 5 years. Somewhere I read that
Iodine has an affinity for knees, I also remember a few others that was pain free after iodine.
So, the combination is the trick, IMO.
Also, if boron run the parathyroid, as
Iodine the thyroid; they really are a mule team.
