I have either been sleeping while reading about the posts on the advantages of boron or something, but if possible, could someone give me a review of what amount you use and what what you are using it to help you with, please? I saw fibromyalgia and arthritis, which are two conditions I live with. Thanks for listening and sorry for my fogginess.

Not a problem Migizii. I started taking 3 mg boron two or three times a day for osteoporosis, and noticed I got pretty close to zero pain from fibromyalgia and arthritis (I have both rheumatoid and osteoarthritis - and could barely use my hands for anything - and I've had five hip replacements and my shoulder has been done twice). Boron is a trace mineral that - according to legend - was more plentiful before the soil became depleted by over-farming. The upper limit in humans for boron is 20 mg a day, so we are staying well short of that. I have some printed stuff about boron, but it is quite lengthy (a bit long in the tooth if you ask me). Many of the people are using Borax instead - it is supposed to be better but I don't understand why. They put one-eighth teaspoon Borax in a liter of water and drink that. I have some material that talks about how that is dosed but if you want to get more information, the best place to get it is from the Borax group on Facebook. If you are on Facebook, do a search to Borax and it will come up - along with a fuzzy picture of the 20 Mule Team Borax box. You have to apply to get into any of these groups because otherwise they get taken over by trolls or bots or whatever is out there. They just ask you a couple of questions to make sure you are a human being. As to the brand, I'm using NOW, but there are some that are cheaper. It is, after all, just Borax. I would start with one or two a day - and see how it goes. I feel best using three 3 mg capsules per day in the winter; I plan to go down to 2 mg per day in summer, using it mainly for OA, RA, and FMS. I don't think it is the magic bullet for osteoporosis. I think K2 (mk4 mk7) might be the key. I'm going to get a DEXA scan in about 2-3 months - so I'll find out, I guess. I was -5.7 two years ago. I haven't been fracturing for about a year now.
