That is absolutely amazing - I have to remember to do that. But my joints don't ache at all now since I started the boron. I should get some for my wrists. My wrists are very tiny and the right one fractured two years ago. I remember you worked as a nurse. It is very empowering to learn about herbs and vitamins and minerals and all good things to encourage our bodies to feel good every day. It is still difficult to find good information about boron. One thing I would say Lioness is that you may be okay with just the 3 mg of boron. but stay aware of how you feel. I went down to one and then when the pain came back, I forgot about boron and went back to the pharmaceutical meds that didn't really deal with the pain. Maybe it was just me - I've been through a lot medically in the past fifteen years and I'm not always the sharpest knife in the drawer.
