Thank you for your input. Actually my Pustular Psoriasis I suppose is in a sort of remission if you will. At the age of 14 for 2 yrs it was so bad on the soles of my feet I used to walk pretending to put my heels down so I wouldn't get bullied at school we all know how kids are. The reason was my feet were so raw they would split and bleed. I had all the treatments ,tar baths, light treatment that was so strong I had to stand naked in a room of sunlights with only goggle on for 1/4 of a minute the 1/2 a min,3/4 min, 1 min then back to the beginning.I had a fantastic tan. I had 4 injections at a time in the soles of my feet which was awful.Anyway that cleared as soon as I left school and didn't come back for 14 yrs and lasted a few more yrs where I then had Tetracycline for a yr which cleared it. Now at the age of 67 I only get the odd break out around my toes.So, that's only a small part but my GP doesn't seem to think it has anything to do with my pain for osteoarthritis DUH ! I have started taking Boron 3 times day but it's only 3mg per tab and wonder if I should now 2 weeks in should up the dose >Any thoughts.
Remember the recognized upper limit of safe boron intake is 20 mg per day, including in foods and vitamin supplements. Less if you have low kidney function or take estrogen supplements. Everyone should consult with their pharmacist or care provider before considering this, as it is difficult to eliminate through the kidneys.
