Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 etc. Thanks for reminding me about halogen displacement. Halogen displacement? What dat? Googled it. In http://groups.google.com/group/missionignition/browse_thread/thread/814efd3d85060e37 I came across the interesting statement that fluoride in water can be counteracted with - BORAX - a pinch of borax in water. Which is interesting especially seeing that fluoride has so long been accused of causing arthritis, and borax credited with curing it. Which reminds me that I am eating sea food every day to treat arthritis, and seafood is rich in iodine. And http://www.altcancer.com/lugols.htm has things to say about halogens and iodine. Quotes Dr Jarvis in "Folk Medicine" (the apple cider vinegar and honey guy) as having the best description of the mechanism behind halogen displacement.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Wow, never heard that before about borax counteracting fluoride. I tried searching the Web for more info and came across a "1/8 teaspoon of borax to 1 liter of water" formula. Has anyone tried this before?

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 The borax works because it is mostly magnesium and magnesium displaces flouride. -- [ ] Re: MMS and Angina and HALOGENs and Borax wrote: >Wow, never heard that before about borax counteracting fluoride.

I've been posting info for a while that Ascorbic Acid Does the same thing, but have run across something that says if the water was treated with chloramine, as opposed to just chlorine, that it may be harder to rid the water of the chemicals. If I had municipal water and wanted to soak in anything, I'd do both of these along with whatever the desired soaking substance is (mag chloride, mag sulfate, etc.) DB No virus found in this outgoing message.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Hi How does magnesium displace fluoride? I'd love to learn more.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 http://chemistry.about.com/od/howthingsworkfaqs/a/howboraxworks.htm What Is Borax? Borax (also known as sodium borate decahydrate; sodium pyroborate; birax; sodium tetraborate decahydrate; sodium biborate) is a natural mineral compound (Na2B4O7 • 10H2O). It was discovered over 4000 years ago. Borax is usually found deep within the ground, although it has been mined near the surface in Death Valley, California since the 1800s. Although it has numerous industrial uses, in the home borax is used as a natural laundry booster, multipurpose cleaner, fungicide, preservative, insecticide, herbicide, disinfectant, dessicant, and ingredient in making 'slime'. Borax crystals are odorless, whitish (can have various color impurities), and alkaline. Borax is not flammable and is not reactive. It can be mixed with most other cleaning agents, including chlorine bleach.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Yeah, whenever I take an Epsom salt bath, I've been using a little bit of ascorbic acid per your instructions. I'll add borax as well the next time around. As I've mentioned before, I keep a gallon jug of borax mixed with tap water as a substitute for soap and shampoo. Well, I've been splashing about 1/4 to 1/2 ounces of that borax-water into an eight-ounce cup of water twice a day. I'm pretty sure that works out to a concentration of higher than "1/8 tsp borax per liter of water." I've only been doing it a few days so I can't give any definitive impressions yet what with the different protocols melding into one another. But it hasn't made me sick or anything. I'll provide an update when I've been doing it longer. ransley <ransley@...> wrote: wrote: >Wow, never heard that before about borax counteractingfluoride.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 , when I started using borax for everything, handwashing, washing up, cleaning the house, etc. I very soon started getting deep splits at the corners of my nails. I think the degreasing effect was so great. So keep an eye open for that. Some people don't seem to get that, but maybe I was using it for so many things I broke the tolerance barrier. Now I pretty much just use it in machine-washing the laundry (mixed with washing soda), washing up in the dishwasher, and in a spray bottle for cleaning countertops, walls, cupboards, floors, etc. I tend to avoid it for personal use on the skin. Rowena Yeah, whenever I take an Epsom salt bath, I've been using a little bit of ascorbic acid per your instructions.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Rowena, I haven't gotten that same result yet, but I'll definitely keep an eye out for that. Thanks for the heads up.
