Guest guest Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 What kind of test did you do? Was it a challenge test? You should do a test and apply Andy Cutler's counting rules. More than likely your son is mercury toxic, which causes the mineral transport in his body to go all out of whack. Chelate with ALA and DMSA folowin the AC protocol and after you get enough metals out, the normal mineral transport of the body will return and clear out other metals like aluminum.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 " The largest deposits of borax are found in California, the southwestern United States, Chile and Tibet. " and other helpful info is found here: http://www.ehow.com/about_5104186_borax-powder.html Wow, good luck, great find! > > Our son has tested very high for the metal Boron.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Our DAN did the hair test... He did have other metals also (I'll have to look at the results again) and I know he wanted to chelate. We are due for a follow up appointment soon. Am still trying to figure out how that metal would get into his body (food, water, etc.)Thanks to all for the info! Jill > > What kind of test did you do?

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Hi all. Boron is not a metal. It is classified as a metalloid : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalloid As an element it can form many different kinds of complexes, and many of the Boron-based molecules are very reactive (unstable). Now, the most stable form of (relatively) free Boron in the aqueous portions of the body will probably be Boric Acid B(OH)3 and a small fraction of this acid will react with water to form the tetrahedral Borate anion B(OH)4(-) and the acid protons, H(+). Incidentally, this solution behaviour is similar to that of the light metal Aluminium, which forms Al(OH)4(-) when the pH is raised slighly above 7. Boron, under certain conditions (such as high pH) is therefore a suitable analogue for the study of Aluminium in aqueous solution. In the body, I think these borates would be the only stable boron species. I do not know if any biological pathways specifically process boron or compounds containing it. Various forms of borate are used as wood preservatives or fungicides such as disodium octaborate tetrahydrate (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borate). Boron does not appear to accumulate in fish or other organisms in water - http://www.npi.gov.au/substances/boron/environmental.html I am not familiar with any chemistry that involves both mercury and boron, so I cannot immediately see a direct link between a raised boron level and mercury toxicity, but as TJ said, if the mercury toxicity is high, then the detox pathways may not adequately remove the born (if the body considers it to be toxic).

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Wow!! Amazing info...Thank you very much! I believe I understand now..I assume that when the mercury is removed from his body, his levels should (hopefully) go down. Thanks much!! Jill > > Hi all. > Boron is not a metal.
