The Shocking Truth About BORAX: Is It TOXIC or SAFE? (sodium tetraborate)

There’s been a long-standing debate on the internet whether Borax is fatal or acutely toxic for humans. Some even go as far as quoting daya, that seem to be pulled out of thin air. After spending so many hours researching the truth about Borax, I explain what Borax really is and share my honest opinion about it.

@@GeorgeKnew Low dose? As in just a "pinch"? I can't even taste the borax in my glass of distilled water. If you started out with more than just a pinch, I can see it. Otherwise, you might've been experiencing what's called "Herxheimer" reaction (herxing). That's the parasites (or bacteria) "rebelling" against their potential elimination. Many people stop these kinds of treatments due to this and mistakenly blame the treatment as the cause of the reactions, when it's not the case at all. Also, using a binder, such as zeolite or clay, helps your body eliminate the critters dead bodies so they don'tjust migrate elsewhere. As with any detox, begin "low and slow" but stay consist, and you'll win win out against these invaders.

FYI... borax separates into sodium hydroxide, or caustic soda, and boric acid. Boric acid doesn't give you boron, it passes in your urine in about 4 days unchanged. Boron, though used in plants, has no known use in animals. Contrary to what you might have read, it doesn't appear in bone, and there are no molecules in our physiology that react with it. This is why it passes in your urine.

One thing I would suggest about making mixtures of anything with water is that it is best to use deionized/distilled water for your solution. It will last longer without building up bacteria like well water does if stored for more than a couple days. If nothing else, boil your tap water first, let it set for a couple hours and gently pour off the top to use and discard the bottom inch of water in your pan. I would also store the solution in a fridge if available or simply make only enough to last a few days.

Thank you for your excellent and balanced perspective view in your video presentation. When I was a child, my beloved mother had Glycerine with Borax, as while as hydrogen peroxide, as part of her weekly and monthly regime for good Oral health.

[@bhuvneshkumaryadav7642]

We use the ash of borax in Ayurveda

[@incorectulpolitic]

how much ?

Good, is borax used for cleaning of stone,s internal inclusions during thermochemistry diffusion process?😊

[@synapticaxon9303]

Boron has a huge neutron cross section, consider that exposure of boron/borax to neutron flux can make unstable isotopes. Boron-12 usually decays into Carbon-12, which is stable, but

[@musicalchemystudio9070]

What example?

[@jjsam5375]

What do you mean by keep it away from neutrons ?

[@synapticaxon9303]

@@jjsam5375 Well, Boron undergoes nuclear reactions around neutrons, fast and slow. Boron-10 which is the lesser fraction of the two stable isotopes (18.9-20.4%) has an unusually large neutron cross-section. It absorbs neutrons that would otherwise decay due to solar neutrino interactions. Cross-section is expressed in barns, which is a unit of area equal to 10^-28m^2. Thermal Neutron Cross-Sections Boron-10: scattering = 2, capture = 200 Cadium-113: scattering = 100, capture = 30,000 Xenon-135: scattering = 400,000, capture = 2,000,000 Indium-115: scattering = 2, capture = 100 Fast Neutron Cross-Sections: Boron-10: scattering = 2, capture = 0.4 Cadium-113: scattering = 4, capture = 0.05 Xenon-135: scattering = 5, capture = 0.0008 Indium-115: scattering = 4, capture = 0.02 So, you see this is one of the peculiar properties of this Element and isotope, and it is used in high-energy physics for exactly this purpose. Some other elements have higher thermal cross-sections but have drawbacks like toxicity, gaseous state, or scarcity. However, Boron-10 outperforms them all 8x with fast neutrons. Now, what happens when a Boron-10 atom absorbs a neutron? It's not the end of the world. It becomes Boron-11, which is also stable and 79.6-81.1% of stable Boron isotopes are comprised of Boron-11. Its spin changes from 3+ to 3/2- and it has a greater mass (+10%) and therefore represents more energy in a stable configuration. With the addition of another neutron though, it becomes Boron-12, which decays in 20.2ms to Carbon-12, which is stable, but sometimes begets Beryllium-8 which decays by beta decay and alpha emission. If a fast neutron /reduces/ the neutron number of Boron-10, it becomes Boron-9 forr 800 zetaseconds and decays into Beryllium-8 again (which subsequently decays), and a proton. So these neutrons that otherwise would have dissipated in about 15 minutes due to solar neutrinos and muon interaction result in a nuclear reaction with Boron that conceivably can lead to undesirable nuclear reactions. Mostly it was just a cheeky comment from me though. Maybe you can tell I've been fascinated by this property of Boron... :)

[@synapticaxon9303]

btw, this might be something we could exploit further with Borophene. I'm not sure that anybody is looking at 10B borophene, or how it modifies the neutron cross section, or how that changes (or other properties) when the N-number changes in the respective atoms. Some really exotic effects may emerge. I suppose one thing that fascinates me about Boron so much is the /accessibility/ of it, you can do these super high-tech things with 20 Mule Team Borax (Sodium tetraborate) as your input. Borophene is metallic, btw.
