@parrotqueen Me two also the peanut on l I told you about my backbone is no longer weak it is STRONG

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.

Thank you so much. My birds would be insulted if I brought another bird home at this late date. Besides, I don't think I have that much longer - these birds live for decades. Their veterinary care is VERY expensive, you cannot feed them anything but organic produce, and you can't just go to any vet. (A good friend had three golden conures that were each worth $10,000 back in 1982. She fed them nonorganic grapes and they died. Vet did a necropsy and found a pesticide caused their death. My birds eat the best parts of my food.) There is only one avian vet within 55 miles and I live in a big city in California! After these two are gone, I will agree to foster another one or two - or I will adopt with a fee to cover veterinary bills (this is common amongst parrot people). This type of parrot mates for life and is monogamous. They have the intelligence of a four-year old child at least! They are the smartest animals - smarter even than monkeys. I can't get away with anything - they know everything I do. Birds can be very affectionate and have beautiful personalities.

I wish I could afford a functional doctor and a nutritionist. I cannot, so I started educating myself. Plus I worked for many years with lots of medical doctors and scientists (at the Nobel prize level!). I had access to an extensive library, and I kept abreast of the latest research as I was a technical editor - I saw all the journal submissions before they went out! Then I worked for the Chief of Surgery at a local hospital - he was the editor of Archives of Surgery - so I was surrounded by all the surgeons at the hospital. I got over my fear of speaking to doctors a long, long time ago, AND I learned the terminology. I have time to do some research and it has saved my life so many times. The human body is fascinating!

@parrotqueen . When we first met on here and I realized your credentials and I know medical language as Im a retired nurse of 35 yrs working O.R. E.R. and other parts including med. records. I listened to your research and did some of my own. I started with 2 ,3 mg Boron for my fibro and O.A. now I only take 1 3 mg. a day with my other Bone meds. ONe thing I found out also was the Peanut OIl I buy from Baar.com its a Edgar Cayce catalogue I don't think it has the same qualities as just OTC oil. I massage it into my bone joints and this really helps also my backbone that was weak is now strong.

@parrotqueen @migizii According to this article, Borax should not be ingested.

@parrotqueen @migizii According to what I have read, Borax ix not meant to be ingested and is not safe to use in that manner.
