Boron

Boron is not part of the protocol, but maybe it should be.

• It may help some people absorb and utilize vitamin D
• It helps magnesium absorption into our bones, where 60% of our magnesium is found
• Studies show safe and effective use towards osteoarthritis
• Allows some people to quit using their pain killers
• Protects against pesticide driven oxidative stress
• Low brain electrical activity is linked to low boron
• Boron can help with heavy-metal toxicity
• May help with high homocysteine and low SAMe
• May help with NAD+ which is connected to vitamin B3
• Helps cell membrane health in a handful of ways
• Dietary boron is inversely correlated with prostate cancer incidence¹
• Women from boron-rich areas had no indicators of cervical cancer²
• Boron levels correlated with lung cancer, similar to HRT ³
• Induction of Cancer-cell Apoptosis⁴
• Treatment of Multiple Myeloma and Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma ⁵

Nothing boring about boron

Which to buy

Boron comes in several forms and is pretty cheap. I was using this Pure Encapsulations Boron Glycinate for a while https://amzn.to/2G93i3h, but realized recently that Nestle apparently bought this company.

When I need to re-order, I’m going to try this one that has 3 forms of boron https://amzn.to/3n7t8oJ.

And then I’ll probably stick with this Now brand version for a while https://amzn.to/3jncYVT

20 Mule Team Borax

Borax is commonly known as a laundry booster. It has natural properties that allow it to help in cleaning situations but it is technically a salt, not any type of cleaner. Lots of people consume Borax in the appropriate amounts as a much cheaper option of boron supplementation. I tried borax water for a while but was not happy with the way my body responded. It made my kidneys hurt and would make everything smell fishy, which was pretty odd. A bottle of boron is about $10 and lasts a while so I just use those. I like to move slow with any supplement anyway, so I don’t take anything every single day.

Methods of producing a solution with Borax are available on the net. Borax is available on Amazon.

Ionic Boron with 72 Trace Minerals

Available on Amazon.

I have never noticed ionic nutrients working after testing them a lot of times. But I have noticed various supplements work so many times. It may just be me, but the ionic trace mineral thing doesn’t seem to do anything for me.
