this last three days i have resumed taking boron - 5g/L medical grade sodium borate (borax) - they come in 30g sachets and make this concentration in a 6L springwater balloon bottle

when one is low in boron, the kidneys eliminate magnesium and calcium, and the liver eliminates vitamin D... you can imagine how that goes - yes, basically osteoporosis, but also ADD and depression, and compound that with artificial sweetener induced type 2 diabetes...

i have been suffering with cramps pretty regularly for some time, and as my mother told me, she also has this problem, and finds if she manages to drink 2L of water a day it is ok

but the borax does the trick, i'm taking 25-30ml of this 5g/L solution, and it just dawned on me a little while ago today that i'm not getting the cramps in my toes anymore

for years i tried all kinds of ways to get magnesium to decrease my anxiety and improve my concentration, to no avail... should have been a red flag when intravenous had no substantial effect

i don't know what causes boron deficiency exactly, it's hardly even registered anywhere as a problem, you can find a small amount of information about it... boron is a crucial nutrient in horticulture, all plants need some to grow, and too much can make them grow abnormally large (probably part of how the giant pumpkin growers do it)...

anyhow, i'm definitely keeping up the regime, 25ml of 5g/L seems to be the right amount, i was taking more before but in that time it kinda made me put on weight... the dose rate 50ml/5g/L was recommended to me by my aunty, who told me it cured her of menopause symptoms, but not just this, also other things, concentration, cramps, muscle weakness

i like to make jokes about it because boron is the 5th element

and the 5th element, cheesy and all, is kinda interesting from the perspective of being an allegory of a historical cycle with the golem looking guys versus the evil black hole people, and two of the best b grade actors of all time... haha, just makes me laugh is all

I usually eat a little Himalayan salt for cramps.

No expert, boron might be good, borax seems to be bad: https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/07/28/borax-is-toxic-not-a-substitute-for-boron-fact-check/70487624007/

sodium borate, USP, available at your local pharmacy just ask...

5g/L or close to 1oz/gal is safe up to 2floz/day but as i experienced, i put on a bit of weight, which actually was remarkable because i've not had anything cause me to put on weight except shit-tons of sugar, no amount of potatoes or rice or any such carbs can make me fat like adding a bit too much boron

it's present in all vegetables and fuck the FDA, they say that water should have less iron than Evian water from the french alps does

which lets them put potassium permanganate in your water

guess what disease you get from excess manganese ingestion?

it's a lot like AD/HD and a lot like parkinsons in extreme, it's called manganism, look it up
