Thank you so much for your work, Unbekoming! Perhaps you can do a deep dive on borax one day!

Boric acid? My grandmother used it as an eye wash.

As me Jane said, it’s not boric acid. @Curious Outlier has written a spectacular series on borax. I use the same 20 Mule Team that he does. It’s remarkable stuff.

When any form of boron, whether it's borax or any other boron supplement, goes into your stomach it hydrolyzes and forms boric acid. Boric acid is the primary form that is in your body?

I'll stick with the 20 Mule Borax version :-)

Thanks for all of the gathered testimonies. Wouldn't it be great if people knew about Borax rather than go the Rx/BigPharma/Fosomax, etc, route?

Borax is not boric acid.

(AI:) Borax, also known as sodium tetraborate or sodium borate, is a naturally occurring mineral compound composed of sodium, boron, oxygen, and water.
