The disease that " health " authorities don't want cured

(Article by Rex Newnham, Ph.D., D.O., N.D., titled Arthritis: The

Mainstay Of The " Health Industry " )

Arthritis and its close relative osteoporosis affect about 30% of

all people today. The latter is responsible for more long term

hospital cases that any other single cause. Yet the answer has been

found over twenty years ago, and the efforts of the health

authorities have been to suppress this remedy. We must remember that

no man can cure any disease, but of we give the body adequate

nutrients and conditions then it will cure itself.

Thirty years ago I developed arthritis and was given drugs that did

not help the condition. There is a cause for every effect and I soon

realized that I should seek the cause of my arthritis. I soon

realized that the fruit and vegetables, and probably wheat and meat

were mineral deficient, due to the lack of minerals in the sandy

soils around Perth in Australia.

All the common minerals were checked and none was relevant, but the

mineral boron which was deficient was written off as not needed by

man or animal. But I knew that boron was needed by plants and that it

aided calcium metabolism in plants. I looked into the effect of boron

and 45-60grams was a dangerous dose. It has about the same toxicity

as sodium chloride. So I took less than one thousandth of this

dangerous dose, namely 30 mg of sodium tetraborate. In three weeks

all pain, swelling and stiffness had gone. I was cured with no side

effects.

Then I told the university medical school people and the public

health authorities but nobody was interested. Then I told a few

people who had arthritis and they were thrilled as they were getting

better. It meant that they buy a packet of chemical that was

labelled " poison - for killing cockcroaches and ants " . Some people

believed the label and stayed with their arthritis, but they

persuaded me to have tablets made with a safe and effective quantity

of boron.

The first 1000 bottles of tablets took two years to sell, but

within five years they were selling at 10,000 bottles a month and

that was without advertising. Every satisfied user told a few more

and so the business grew. It was getting too much for me and I went

to a drug company for help in marketing. They made most of their

money from aspirin, the main drug used for arthritics. I thought they

would be interested in helping arthritic patients. I was wrong and a

fool for thinking so.

They said they were not interested, but they were most concerned;

not about people with arthritis, but about losing some of their

profits. This company had members on at. least two government

committes, and these men had boron declared poison in any

concentration. Since then a double-blind trial has been completed at

the Royal Melbourne Hospital and it showed that 70% of those who

completed the trial received much help from the boron tablets. Only

12% received help when on placebo. There are little profits to be

made by this remedy, but already over 500,000 people world wide have

had much help and most have been cured of their arthritis because the

essential nutrients were restored to their diet. There have been no

real side effects, except that some have reported that their heart

ailment has also been helped, better general health and less

tiredness. Also, patients who have used boron for arthritis just

don't seem to develop osteoporosis.

The effect of boron on bone fractures is very interesting, as these

fractures just heal in about half the normal time in both man and

animal. Horses and dogs with broken leg bones, or even a broken

pelvis have recovered fully. Yet it is impossible to get orthopaedic

surgeons to give the remedy a proper trial.

Much use of chemical fertilizers without giving the soil a rest

aggravates the boron deficiency, and this is seen in the sugar

producing countries of Jamaica, Mauritius and Fiji where there is

much arthritis, up to 70%. There are small areas where there is much

boron, such as the far north-west of Australia, parts of New Zealand

where geo-thermal waters have brought boron to the surface and

Israel, where there is less than 1% with arthritis.

If only 1% of the national health budget was spent on preventive

medicine, and by that I mean proper nutritional advice and teaching

the people how to avoid these chronic diseases of old age, there

would be fewer sick people and fewer doctors and nurses. Maybe there

would even be unemployment in the medical and nursing business. That

would indicate that we were really healthier. Hospitals are just a

sign of an unhealthy community.

[Know what, folks? This region is seriously deficient in boron.

Reflect on two-time Nobel laureate, biochemist Linus ing's

statement that mineral deficiency is linked to every ailment and

every disease, and consider adding some boron, selenium, chromium and

vanadium to your organic-source mineral supplement.]
