Herxheimer reactions / Possible Side Effects from taking Borax: by Dr Rex Newnham:

****************************************
Bone analysis showed that arthritic joints and nearby bones had only half the boron content of healthy joints.
Equally, synovial fluid that lubricates joints and provides nutrients to the cartilage is boron deficient in arthritic
joints. After boron supplementation bones were much harder than normal and surgeons found them more
difficult to saw through. With additional boron bone fractures heal in about half the normal time in both man
and animal. Horses and dogs with broken legs, or even a broken pelvis, have fully recovered.
Borax is also effective with other forms of arthritis, such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Juvenile Arthritis, and
Lupus (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus). For instance Dr Newnham saw a young girl aged 9 months with
juvenile arthritis. He was able to cure her in 2 weeks.
He wrote that commonly people can get rid of their pain, swelling and stiffness in about 1 to 3 months. Then
they can reduce treatment from 3 to 1 boron tablet (each 3 mg) per day as a maintenance dose so that they can
avoid any future arthritis. He also stated that patients with rheumatoid arthritis commonly experienced a
Herxheimer reaction and that this is always a good prognostic sign. They must persevere and in another 2 or 3
weeks the pain, swelling and stiffness will be gone. (4,5)
I found this statement not only interesting but also surprising. The Herxheimer reaction is an early aggravation
of symptoms with increased pain. It is commonly due to toxins released by killed Candida and mycoplasma.
This is very common with antimicrobial therapy, and borax definitely is an exceptionally good and strong
fungicide. What surprises me, however, is that this fungicidal effect is already present at this rather low dose of
75 to 90 mg of borax. Equally surprising is the finding that also up to 30% of those with osteoarthritis
experienced a Herxheimer reaction, suggesting that the border between osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
is rather fluid. I believe that in long-standing and especially resistant cases it will be advisable to use other
antimicrobials in addition. For co-factors in arthritis treatment also see my article Arthritis and Rheumatism or
the booklet OVERCOMING ARTHRITIS.
Possible Side-Effects
While side-effects from pharmaceutical drugs tend to be negative and often dangerous, with natural medicine
such as borax therapy these are usually healing reactions with beneficial long-term effects. Most common is
the Herxheimer reaction from eliminating Candida.
In some of the above forum posts rapid improvement was experienced within days. This is always a functional
response. High cellular calcium levels cause muscle contraction with cramps or spasms as a common cause of
pain. Boron, especially together with magnesium, can rapidly relax these muscles and take away the pain.
However, with long-standing severe calcifications a large amount of calcium cannot be redistributed in a short
time. This leads to increased calcium levels in the affected area, especially the hips and shoulders, and can
cause problems for a considerable time, such as a tendency to severe cramping and pain, or problems with the
blood circulation, or nerve transmission. Nerve-related effects in hands and feet may be numbness, or reduced
sensitivity or feeling in the skin. Higher amounts of calcium and fluoride passing through the kidneys may
cause temporary kidney pain. Such healing reactions cannot be avoided when aiming for a higher level of
health.
Whenever you experience an unpleasant effect reduce or temporarily stop borax intake until the problem
subsides. Then gradually start increasing again. Helpful additional measures are a greatly increased fluid
intake, using more organic acids such as lemon juice, ascorbic acid or vinegar, and improving lymph flow as
with rebounding, walking or inverted positions.
