In his document, ‘The Borax Conspiracy: How the Arthritis Cure has been Stopped’, research bio/chemist, toxicologist, practicing nutritionist and natural therapist Walter Last, made the wild claim that if boron was no longer labeled poison as marketed and promoted by the pharmaceutical industry, it had the potential to bring down the entire economic system. The pharmaceutical industry was worth $1.48 trillion in 2022.
In the southern hemisphere, the health-savvy conspiracy theorist can purchase a 500gram tub of pure Borax in the supermarket laundry aisle for less than five dollars. One could clean their bath tub with Borax, then drop a handful in their bath water for therapeutic purposes; maybe correct osteoporosis, cancer or a hormone imbalance, or just heal a wound; boron's health benefits are legion… and therefore kept rather quiet.
Borax comes from the Arabic word buraq which translates more or less to specular, (which is mirror or shiny). Walter Last’s economic reflections were based on Doctor Rex Newnham’s discovery that borax cured his arthritis. Quoting Last on Dr. Newnham:
“In the 1960's Rex Newnham, Ph.D., D.O., N.D, developed arthritis. At that time he was a soil and plant scientist in Perth, Western Australia. Conventional drugs did not help, so he looked for the cause into the chemistry of plants. […] He started taking 30 mg of borax a day, and in three weeks all pain, swelling and stiffness had disappeared.
He told public health and medical school authorities about his discovery but they were not interested. However, some people with arthritis were delighted as they improved. Others were scared to take something with a poison label […] meant to kill […] ants. Eventually he had tablets made with a safe and effective quantity of borax.
Within five years and only by word of mouth he sold 10,000 bottles a month. He could no longer cope and asked a drug company to market it. That was a major mistake. They indicated that this would replace more expensive drugs and reduce their profits.
[With] representatives on government health committees [it was] arranged that, in 1981, Australia instituted a regulation that declared boron and its compounds to be poisons in any concentration. [Newnham] was fined $1000 for selling a poison, and this successfully stopped his arthritis cure from spreading in Australia.
[Newnham] published several scientific papers […] in the mid 1980's at the Royal Melbourne Hospital which showed that 70% of those who completed the trial were greatly improved [with] no negative side-effects, but some reported that their heart ailment had also improved, and there was better general health and less tiredness.”
(Dr. Newnham’s full quote and dosages in Last’s paper linked as PDF at end of post.)
Borates, boron, borax, boric acid etc. refer to the same elemental mineral. The Turkish Eti Maden boron mine, the world’s largest supplier, sold (US)$1 billion worth of boron for technological & industrial applications in 2021 and the market is growing.
Buying boron online is the only option in Western Europe; one can pay €29 for a one kilo bag of 99-99.5% pure boron, labelled poison and sold as a professional anti-mould solution or ant killer. Option two is the very same anti-mould ant poison boron but magically rendered safe by “wellness brands” adding various fillers like silicon dioxide (sandstone/quartz), cellulose (wood pulp), potassium sorbate (synthetic preservative), titanium oxide (carcinogen); these are charged at prices starting at €13 - €25 for a light-weight plastic container of 100 to 365 compressed 3mg boron pills or capsules.
The rising global wellness industry amassed $5.6 trillion in revenue in 2022.
To put 3mg of boron in perspective, a study on acute boric acid doses of up to 77mg–699mg/day could potentially be harmful to humans; but out of the 784 patients, 88.7% had no symptoms. The gist; “acute boric acid ingestions produce minimal or no toxicity.”
Borax at 99-99.5% purity was all I needed as therapeutic solution for the whole family, so of course I bought the one kilo size with decorative poison label.
Boric acid was traditionally used as a food preservative to protect against aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) — the most potent fungal carcinogen ever tested. Boric acid increases resistance of DNA against AFB1 mould, yet was listed alongside arsenic, formaldehyde and rat poison. Then, it was outlawed due to reproductive toxicity… then reclassified in 2010 as Reprotoxic Category 2… then won a skull & crossbones to warn of its danger.
Meanwhile, back in reality, some tests say there is no difference in fertility in borax mine workers while others conclude that “while boron has been shown to adversely affect male reproduction in laboratory animals, there is no clear evidence of male reproductive effects attributable to boron in studies of highly exposed workers.”
Rather than a reproductive poison it has been found to be essential.
Walter -Boron Could Kill the Economy- Last said if the same standard resulting in boron’s reclassification was applied to other chemicals, there would be no more chemicals available; the main chemical in the borax substitute, sodium percarbonate, is about three times more toxic than borax, but Last also notes:
“With this [reclassification], the medical-pharmaceutical system has safely defused any potential danger that borax may have posed to its profitability and survival.”
Boron balances hormones of both sexes, maintains strong teeth and bones even in to old age, wards off cancer by strengthening cell membranes, cures wounds, sharpens memory, helps correct neurological disorders and mental degeneration, helps (if not cures) fibromyalgia, osteoporosis and arthritis, helps increase vitamin D uptake, lowers obesity, increases strength and helps regulate mRNA among other things.
Walter (at) Last claimed: “If the boron-magnesium cure for these diseases should become widely known, this vital income stream would dry up and the system collapse. As the biggest, most profitable industry in the world, this can’t be allowed to happen.”
Economy comes from the Greek oikonomia, which means household management, arrangement and distribution as laid out by the Eastern Orthodox Church and Latin Catholic churches. Wiki says: “In short, economia is a discretionary deviation from the letter of the law in order to adhere to the spirit of the law. The divine economy […] refers to God's actions to bring about the world's salvation and redemption […].”
Not quite what I had expected to come across in research, but still, it fits rather well.
Capitalism requires a market-based economy. Communism requires a command-based economy. They’re both mangey, limping, flea-bitten mutts, but each viscerally represent the spirit of the ending of this cyclic age. The ever-worshipped (global vs. divine) economy refers to God's actions to bring about the world's salvation and redemption… Waiiit a minute — did someone just mention the economy and Guénon?
“As economic factors have been mentioned, we will [...] draw attention to an all too common illusion […] that trade can serve to draw people closer together and bring about an understanding between them, whereas in reality the effect is just the contrary. [...] The economic sphere remains [...] one of a rivalry of interests.
Inventions, which at present go on being multiplied with ever-increasing momentum, are all the more dangerous [...] to the very people that make use of them; and this demonstrates conclusively the worthlessness of modern science, [...] this science is far from being disinterested, it is industry which is the only real object of its researches.
As the danger of these inventions [...] will no doubt continue to grow to an extent that is difficult to foretell, it is permissible to suppose […] that the modern world will succeed in bringing about its own destruction, unless it can check its present breakneck course while there is yet time.” René Guénon, A Material Civilisation, 1927.
The ever-growing fractalisation of the medico-industrial ‘invention’ market exists for the sake of an economy which has become a monstrous egregore; a word defined as a thought-form (idea) that becomes wakeful; several monstrous egregores wakened during 2020 — what was cOvid but the alarm of cascading coinage to wake the beast?
Boron's Wiki page is a fairly dry read on mining and apparent toxicity but also its truly diverse and extraordinary applications for industry like agricultural fertiliser, flame retardants & heat resistant fabrics, glass, metallurgy, ceramic and bullet-proof tiles, nuclear safety, optics and electronics including iPhones and solar panelling, EV batteries, aerospace, and of course medicine; but medicine as a cure or treatment?
Cancer treatment Velcade made with active ingredient boron, is a brand of anti-cancer medication (bortezomib) for bone marrow tumours and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. It’s an injectable and (or) intravenous powder; one 3.5mg dose can go for up to $1,692.96.
Blatant money-making schemes abound; rather than diluting and drinking borax for hip issues (whose strength is next to the diamond on the Mohs scale) one is opened up.
Were mRNA vaccines a fire lit under the collective derrière? Is VAIDS a death sentence or just a course corrector? Faith in man-made drugs killed HIV positive men in the 80’s and 90’s but returning to a natural life meant they survived. Is boron really a poison mineral or just poisonous to a thriving economy based on iatrogenic disease?
I have heard this before. Do you recommend a particular brand? I am willing to try it.
