spas reputedly curing arthritis have very high boron levels. These are also high in Israel, with an estimated daily boron intake of 5-8 mg and an arthritis rate of only 0.5-1.0 Boron deficiency combined with magnesium deficiency is especially damaging to the bones and teeth. Boron affects the metabolism of steroid hormones, and especially of sex hormones. It increases low testosterone levels in men and oestrogen levels in menopausal women. It also has a role in converting vitamin D to its active form, thus increasing calcium uptake and deposition into bone and teeth rather than causing soft tissue to calcify. Other reported benefits are improvement of heart problems, vision, psoriasis, balance, memory and cognition. Boron compounds have anti-tumour properties and are "potent anti-osteoporotic, anti-inflammatory, hypolipemic, anti- coagulant and anti-neoplastic agents” ! especially of sex hormones. It increases low testosterone per cent. levels in men and oestrogen levels in menopausal women. Bone analysis showed that arthritic joints and nearby It also has a role in converting vitamin D to its active form, — bones have only half the boron content of healthy joints, thus increasing calcium uptake and deposition into bone —_ and synovial fluid that lubricates joints is boron deficient and teeth rather than causing soft tissue to calcify.

Osteoporosis and Sex Hormones Boron deficiency causes large amounts of calcium and magnesium to be lost with the urine. A borax supplement reduces this loss by nearly 50 per cent. As the lost calcium comes from resorbed bone and teeth, boron deficiency is the most important factor causing osteoporosis and tooth decay. About 55 per cent of Americans over 50 have osteoporosis, and of these about 80 per cent are women. This is responsible for millions of fractures each year. After rats with osteoporosis were given borax for 30 days, their bones were normal.° These beneficial effects are due to a higher boron content of the bones, which makes them harder, and a normalisation of sex hormones, which stimulates the growth of new bone.
