Bone health plays an essential role in your every day existence. Your bones support your body, protecting your important organs and forming its shape. Your bones can also support your spinal cord, a pathway for messages between the brain and the body.

When you lack good bone health you are more susceptible to conditions such as osteoporosis and arthritis. You may know all about the benefits of adding more calcium into your diet…but you’ve probably never heard about the many benefits of boron.

Boron is an element and a key mineral for bone health, although this has only been discovered in recent years. The body needs boron for proper metabolism and utilisation of various bone-building factors including calcium, magnesium, Vitamin D, estrogen and even testosterone.

Studies overall suggest that boron can conserve minerals and enhance estrogen, especially with women who have a low magnesium intake. The Dead Sea is a rich source of boron. There are claims that bathing in its water can heal many diseases including arthritis.

 

Boron’s Incredible Healing Benefits For Bone Health

Rex Newnham, a naturopathic doctor and osteopath found out for himself the amazing healing benefits of Boron. He knew that boron aids calcium metabolism in plants. He therefore started taking 30mg of Borax (sodium borate) a day – this is quite a high dose. Within 3 weeks, all of the pain of his arthritis, including swelling and stiffing had disappeared.

Public health and medical school authorities showed no interest so Newnham decided to sell it privately instead. Some people felt delighted when they saw their arthritis improve yet still others felt scared to take it. Labelled as a poison, its main purpose is to kill cockroaches! Eventually, Dr Newnham made tablets with a safe and effective quantity of Borax. Within 5 years and through word of mouth, he had sold over 100,000 bottles a month!

By 1981 he was no longer able to cope with the demand and so asked a drug company to market it. This was a big mistake. The drug company suggested this would replace more expensive drugs and therefore reduce their profits. Soon after that, Australia brought in a regulation declaring boron and its compounds to be poisons, in any concentration. Coincidence? Unlikely! Newnham was then fined $1000 for selling a poison and this stopped his arthritis cure from spreading throughout Australia.

 

Why Boron’s Benefits Have Been Hidden…

Arthritis and its different forms including osteoporosis, affect about 30% of the population in developed countries. It’s no surprise to anyone clued up on how Big Pharma works that this would enormously affect their profits.

Treating bone related pain with drugs is very profitable for drug companies. This is why Borax has been controversial..and as a source of reproductive toxicity. The EU lead a campaign against Borax to reclassify it according to ancient science (A paper from 1972).

This paper was silly as it was based on animal studies – no human data at all! The animal studies showed that “Borax is totally safe at doses of up to 2 teaspoonsful a day (17.5 mg boron/kg/day) but they went ahead and banned it anyway “because there were no human data”.[1]

You can find Borax within the laundry and cleaning section of your supermarket. Yet all Borax is the same and completely natural. The label usually states it is 99% pure (or 990g/kg borax) which is safe to use, and is the legal standard for agricultural grade borax. It is boric acid that you should avoid as this isn’t safe. 

Nowadays however, you can find Boron tablets online from Amazon, often recommending 3mg a day. Rex Newnham stated that people who have rheumatoid arthritis commonly experience and who commonly experience a “Herxheimer reaction” or a flare-up. This is likely a good sign to continue taking the Boron as within 2-3 weeks the pain, stiffness and swelling will be gone. [2] Anyone looking to improve their bone health and to avoid arthritic diseases should take Boron daily.
