THE BORAX CONSPIRACY CONSPIRACY THE BORAX Borax, a naturally occurring mineral and a source of the essential element boron, is an inexpensive and effective antiseptic, antifungal and insecticidal treatment but its use is being outlawed by health authorities worldwide. HOW THE ARTHRITIS CURE HAS BEEN STOPPED t is difficult to imagine that borax, this humble cleaner and insecticide, has the potential to bring down our economic system singlehandedly. But you do not need to worry; the danger has been recognised and the necessary steps are already being taken to defuse the situation. | will start with the basics and you will understand what | mean as the story unfolds. Mined borax is the source of other manufactured boron compounds. The main deposits are in Turkey and California. The chemical name is sodium (or disodium) tetraborate decahydrate (or, simply, sodium borate), meaning that it contains four atoms of boron combined with two sodium atoms and 10 molecules (or sometimes less) of crystallisation water. Borax is the sodium salt of the weak boric acid. In solution, borax is strongly alkaline. When ingested, it reacts with hydrochloric acid in the stomach to form boric acid and sodium chloride. The boron content of borax is 11.3 per cent, while for boric acid it is 50 per cent higher. Ingested boron compounds are rapidly and nearly completely excreted with the urine. Formerly, boric acid was widely used as a food preservative but is now banned in most countries. Boron is present in all plants and unprocessed foods. Good diets provide 2-5 mg of boron per day, but in reality the average intake in developed countries is 1-2 mg of boron per day, and institutionalised patients may receive only 0.25 mg. Chemical fertilisers inhibit the uptake of boron from the soil. Boron intake is further reduced by discarding cooking water of vegetables, and by the phytic acid in baked goods and cereals. All this makes health problems from boron deficiency very common. Borax, a naturally occurring mineral and a source of the essential element boron, is an inexpensive and effective antiseptic, antifungal and insecticidal treatment but its use is being outlawed by health authorities worldwide. Health Effects of Boron Borax and boric acid have basically the same health effects with good antiseptic, antifungal and antiviral properties but only mild antibacterial action. Boron is essential for the integrity and function of cell walls and for the way signals are transmitted across membranes. Boron is distributed hroughout the body, with the highest concentration in the parathyroid glands ollowed by bones and dental enamel. It is essential for healthy bone and joint unction, regulating the absorption and metabolism of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus through its influence on the parathyroid glands. With this, boron is to the parathyroids what iodine is to the thyroid. Boron deficiency causes the parathyroids to become overactive, releasing too much parathyroid hormone which raises the blood level of calcium by releasing calcium from bones and teeth. This then leads to arthritis, osteoporosis and ooth decay. With advancing age, high blood levels of calcium lead to calcification of soft tissues causing muscle contractions and stiffness; calcification of endocrine glands, especially the pineal gland and the ovaries; arteriosclerosis; kidney stones and calcification of the kidneys, ultimately eading to kidney failure.
