Boron: The Ultimate Crash Course! - Dr. Osborne's Zone

[@jerrypeavy]

I learned about boron about 3 years ago and began a supplement of 20 mg per day each day 7 day per week with no fasting from the use. According to the literature the half life is 21 hours which should work out that your body level will build to 2 times your intake in about 4 to 5 days and level off at 2 times your intake. If you stop or miss taking the supplement, the boron level will return to pre supplement levels in about 3 to 4 days. My PSA level dropped from 7.2 back to 2.8 then to 2.5 then most recent to 2.2. (PSA is a measure of the prostate protein antigen that indicates cancer or onset of cancer). Bone density was measured at 26% above that of the world health standard of a 30 year old. Testosterone level increased from below 300 to over 600, accompanied by a substantial increase in sex drive and sex performance. I turned 80 this October. Most recent physical revealed for the first time a cholesterol level below 200 and no longer taking blood pressure meds. Last of all........my calcium score came back that of being in the 25% level for my age. In other words only 25% of the men my age have this low of a calcium score (calcium deposit in the heart). I expect to have a new score run in the near future. I also now take a regiment of vitamins and minerals as well as recently picked up a routine for healthy foods and medical mushrooms. All have shown health improvements.

[@rredding]

Boron, 10 mg/day, at least 3 mg/day as a maintenance dose. I make my own supplement (and several of my friends get it from me, and it is effective against their arthritis). I bought borax on the internet, 1 kg serves for 30 years of use and is quite cheap: $0.001 per day! *I dissolve 9 grams of borax in 500 ml pure water* (demineralized or distilled water, but boiled tap water will do also). Store in the dark to avoid formation of algae. Storage in the fridge is best (cool and dark). Borax contains 11.3%.elemental Boron. This supplement contains 18 mg/ml Borax and this gives 2 mg of elemental boron per milliliter. So, 5 ml contains 10 mg of elemental boron and I take this daily in a glass of water before bedtime together with magnesium. Borax is known as a detergent or even as an insecticide. Does this mean that it is dangerous? I know that people take much larger doses than me, but I think that's beyond supplemental. The amount I take IS safe, remember: the dose is important. Same for something like table salt: you don't take 40 grams per day! Ok, boron helps building and maintaining healthy bones. To avoid osteoporosis: combine it with Vit D3 (at least 4000 IU per day) and with Vit K2 (MK7 form), 100 micrograms or more per day and Magnesium. K2 activates the bone building and renewal process and ensures that Calcium goes to your teeth and bones, not to blood vessels or kidney, bladder. Boron makes that postmenstrual women don't pee out calcium and other minerals. It also promotes healthy levels of testosterone for men and oestrogen for women. It is *anti-inflammatory and anti-mold.* Now, if you want to know more, search and download "Nothing boring about Boron" or the easier read "The Boron conspiracy". *Note: it promotes healthy levels of sex hormones. So: pregnant women don't use it, and children only lower doses.* *People with hormone sensitive cancer: talk with your specialist. You probably shouldn't use Boron.* *Vit K2: People who use a blood thinner like Warfarin or Coumarine: don't use K2 without talking with your prescribing physician. Ask for a different class of blood thinners that don't interfere with K2*

[@g.s.5868]

there is much controversy.. if it was used for ages for food preservation, but need a correct dosage and is the borax now not just chinese chemicals?

[@rredding]

@@g.s.5868 A nice read is "the Boron conspiracy", that you can Google and download as pdf. It clearly shows what happened when a pharmaceutical company learned about the use of borax. It cannot be patented... The toxicity (LD50) is comparable to that of table salt and glucose (all tested in rats, and yes, I know, you are not a rat :) It is found in drinking water in mining villages in Turkey up to 26 mg/liter and people don't suffer from it, but hardly any arthritis cases are found there. In Haiti, where there's no boron in the soil, cases of arthritis are abundant. China? Why would they? It is mined in Turkey; Boron, California; and Searles Lake, California, Southwestern United States, Bolivia, Tibet, Romania..

But last year for more than a year.......horse radish did no longer work.......I then went to my doctor and was referred to a specialist........MRI and Xrays showed ligament damage but not to the extent that warranted anything more than a special exercise.......which also did not help. Then for other reasons I started the medical mushroom supplement.........I noticed a steady improvement in my shoulder pain and completely gone in about 3 weeks. After I was on the mushroom routine for about 8 weeks......I stopped as I suspected a side effect cough. However the shoulder pain returned. I have again went back on the mushroom supplement and the side effect never came back and the shoulder pain again went away. This is not full proof of the benefit of medical mushroom but does indicate that there is a connection. I will continue with the use of both boron and the medical mushrooms. Long term seems to be very beneficial.

Your body is the largest organ in your body so it will absorb it and you will see results, they might not be as quickly or as much as you want though.

My understanding is that prunes contain Boron. Prunes are thought to help Bones.

[@privateerburrows]

One element I believed you missed in the bone matrix is strontium. Ca, Mg, D, *K2,* Boron and *Strontium.* Plus, the Pauling Protocol, for collagen formation (6g C and 3g lysine a day). I had all these other things, but was missing Boron; thank you. Great video; liked and subscribed.

[@joannh930]

Are you referring to "Linus Paulling" in the protocol. Thank you dear. ❤🙏

[@privateerburrows]

@@joannh930 Yes, exactly. Bones are not stones; they are built on a collagen matrix, and collagen production goes down rapidly with age due to attempts to conserve the little vitamin C and Lysine we get from our diet. The story about vitamin C is complicated. We are one of the very few species of mammals that have lost the ability to produce our own vitamin C. We humans, orangutans, and some other ape. A typical dog makes 17 grams a day of vitamin C. A large animal, like a cow, probably 100 to 200 grams a day. Vitamin C, ascorbic acid, is actually pretty similar to glucose (sugar); not too difficult to convert glucose to vitamin C. And, surprise, we have not lost the gene; we still have the gene to produce vitamin C; the problem is one of missing an activation mechanism; in other words, it is an "epi-genetic mutation", rather than a genetic one. In any case, we survived for a few million years because we being omnivore creatures, we ate animals. And since the invention of fire is rather recent, we ate the animals raw. Raw meat is super-rich in vitamin C; that's why the esquimo lived in good health eating only meat: they did not cook it. Once you cook meat, the vitamin C in it is destroyed. But yeah, back in those days, a pound of meat typically has several grams of vitamin C; far more than citrus fruits' humble milligrams. But so, this is why we should all be popping vitamin C tablets by the dozens per day. Every time I mention to people the Linus Pauling protocol, they exclaim "megadose!", but nothing could be further from the truth; vitamin C is produced and used by animals by the dozens of grams per day; it was never meant to be a "MICRO-nutrient". The RDA of 60 mg per day would be a joke if it were funny.

[@theladyofthelakesFTs888]

@@privateerburrows, do you know what the lysine does exactly? Thanks

[@privateerburrows]

@@theladyofthelakesFTs888 I quote the NIH: *_Collagen synthesis is severely diminished in osteoarthritis; thus, enhancing it may help the regeneration of cartilage. This requires large amounts of glycine, proline and lysine. Previous works of our group have shown that glycine is an essential amino acid, which must be present in the diet in large amounts to satisfy the demands for collagen synthesis. Other authors have shown that proline is conditionally essential. In this work we studied the effect of these amino acids on type II collagen synthesis. Bovine articular chondrocytes were cultured under a wide range of different concentrations of glycine, proline and lysine. Chondrocytes were characterized by type II collagen immunocytochemistry of confluence monolayer cultures. Cell growth and viability were assayed by trypan blue dye exclusion method. Type II collagen was measured in the monolayer, every 48 h for 15 days by ELISA. Increase in concentrations of proline and lysine in the culture medium enhances the synthesis of type II collagen at low concentrations, but these effects decay before 1.0 mM. Increase of glycine as of 1.0 mM exceeds these effects and this increase continues more persistently by 60-75%. Since the large effects produced by proline and lysine are within the physiological range, while the effect of glycine corresponds to a much higher range, these results demonstrated a severe glycine deficiency for collagen synthesis. Thus, increasing glycine in the diet may well be a strategy for helping cartilage regeneration by enhancing collagen synthesis, which could contribute to the treatment and prevention of osteoarthritis._* So, yeah, when I read about the Pauling Protocol, there was a full version having vitamin C, Lysine, Proline and Glycine; and there was a minimalist version having vitamin C and Lysine only. I mentioned the minimalist version in my post, just to not overload readers.

I started taking the Boron solution 10 years ago . I Take 5 ml of a borax and mix it with a 16 oz of 150° hot water. After that up or Shake It Up and I probably take 15 mL of that solution per day. I came across some money this year so I took me a nice long summer vacation and I just forgot to take my boron. I broke my back when I was 14 and I've never had surgery on it. It doesn't bother me a lot but if I ride a motorcycle or something like that and hit a hard pothole it'll get me. I also have some really bad arthritis in one of my knuckles in my left hand it's so bad when I wake up in the mornings that finger will be locked closed. I can't open that finger without it popping real hard and hurting bad. I realized I had not been taking my solution regularly for God only knows how long so I started getting about 15 mL a day and within 3 days my finger is completely well. My back takes a little time because it's a severe injury but I honestly don't think I could walk if it weren't for taking the solution. I know this, I worked out for 20 years of my life and I stayed in excellent shape. I just quit at 38 years old. I tried to get back into it a couple times in my forties and it's kicking my ass. When I learned about this Boron solution and started using it I can work out like I was a teenager again. It took about a week and a half for me to notice it was working but that was the biggest thing for me. All those old man aches and pains that I had are gone. I'm 53 years old right now and I'm not scared to jump out of the bed of my pickup truck. As a matter of a fact, I do it all the time. I write a cruiser style motorcycle and they're not the best on your back but I bought one of those posture support things to wear when I ride so if I hit a pothole it doesn't feel like my back is breaking again. I truthfully think I would be a crippled if I didn't take this stuff. I also State take vitamin D3 and K2 and magnesium and spirulina and chlorella blue green algae not to mention all natural plant-based multivitamins but I was still taking all of that stuff when my finger in my back started bothering me. The only thing I wasn't doing at that time was taking the boron. My finger was in horrible shape! Three days of taking boron and I can't even tell him I have an issue with my finger.

With plants you need boron to carry calcium in. Calcium is needed to carry the other minerals into the plant. It is thought that you also need silicon as the 1sr step before Boron. Who knows with animals as the gut is the source, and not the soil. But the soil biome plant root relationship starts the cycle using sugars exudated from plants into the soil to kick start the process from photosynthesis.
