One thing I keep trying to say is that Boron is the key to osteoporosis. RBG had osteoporosis and she was famous for eating prunes all the time. Prunes have a lot of boron - but sadly not quite enough. Since I started taking boron, my height has remained the same and I stopped fracturing. I've been taking it a little over a year now. The bonus with boron is that I no longer have ANY pain from my rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. I take it breakfast, lunch, dinner and before bed. I started out with 3 mg at a time. Now I am taking 6 mg four times a day. It is super cheap and, in fact, you can use plain old Borax - one-eighth tsp. in a liter of water. But the Borax thing just doesn't appeal to me. Doctors do not know anything about boron. There's a reason for that. Boron is super cheap - but arthritis brings in a ton of money in medication and surgery (said the woman who has had five hip replacements, a wrist fix and is looking at shoulder replacement). I have to say check with your doctor - but I doubt that will get you anything but a "huh?" There is one doctor on You Tube that talks about boron - his name is Jorge Fleches and he is associated with Loma Linda in CA if I'm not mistaken. He had osteoporosis and speaks from his personal experience.
