Okay guys, since I'll be in the States next month, I'll just buy some Borax there! I suppose I can wait that long.

So just to make sure... you guys dissolve 1/4 teaspoon of Borax in 1 liter of water? And then drink the whole liter at once? Or throughout the day?

How soon did your symptoms improve? And how long did your Herxheimer reaction last? Jason, it seemed from your posts that it took some 3 months to feel no more adverse reactions??

Sorry to be so insistent; but I want to be sure I'm doing this correctly. Part of my brain is telling me it's crazy to follow some stranger's advice on the internet, but at the same time I have to try it!

Wow Jason, that's one heck of a journey you've gone through. So glad to hear you're feeling better now. You certainly deserve it after so many years. My problems started when I was 18, and I'm 22 now. And yeah, I avoid anti-depressants like the plague too after seeing what it did to my cousins in America. So it's still a mystery where my fluoride intake is coming from.

Bob; thanks for looking that up, but I had already read that link and unfortunately it's outdated. This was before the re-classification. And what they say about it being the same as German "Wasch Soda" and "Kaiser Borax" is wrong; Wasch Soda is like the Englisch washing soda (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_carbonate), and Kaiser Borax USED to be Borax, and was apparently used for decades as a household skin care and foot bath product; but the company had to remove Borax from it's ingredients a couple of years ago to conform with regulations (http://help.orf.at/stories/1704479/). I already asked at the pharmacy, they had never heard of Boron or Borax, then I asked at a local natural health store, neither had they.... so yeah, it's been taken out of circulation pretty conprehensively here in Germany. I even contacted two industrial chemical dealers who sell Borax on to other companies and manufacturers, but both refused to sell it to me.

Oh yeah, I intend on trying Lugol's iodine as well... but that one should be easy to get a hold of here.

Wow. I can't believe I found this thread.

I have been suffering for 4,5 years from strange symptoms, that include loss of sexual libido, impotence, loss of tooth enamel, difficulty concentrating, depression, and a hoarse voice. (I am a singer) No doctor has been able to help me. When they found my blood results were fine, they sent me to psychologists. They also couldn't diagnose anything.

I had stopped using fluoride toothpaste 1,5 years ago, because I read of the ill effects. Then, two months ago, I had my blood tested for fluoride levels. The result: 100 (the normal range is < 30) How there could still be so much fluoride inside me, I cannot understand. I don't drink tea, I eat mostly raw vegan foods, and in Germany, the drinking water is not fluoridated.

Simultaneously, I have developed an interest in permaculture and was looking for farms to work on over the Summer. And then I stumbled over THIS PAGE... Borax? really? Reading your description of healing really gave me hope. I want SO much to feel better... if the solution is only taking some Borax in water every day, that would be amazing.

The only problem is... Borax was deemed too much of a "health risk" in Europe, and now it's nowhere to be found. You probably can't even import it into Germany if you ordered it from the States. So I don't really know what to do now, short of going to the States and taking some Borax there!!

Any more news, Jason or Morgan? Are you still feeling better? I would love to hear from you.
