>Take Borax

 

borax is the sodium salt of boric acid, or more precisely, the tetramer of boric acid. boric acid is a very weak acid, much weaker than water. ergo, when sodium borate dissociates in water, the borate anion will simply strip hydrogen ions from water to form undissociated boric acid and hydroxide ions. taking sodium borate internally is equivalent to eating LYE (sodium hydroxide). lye (caustic soda) is a dangerously caustic substance, and a vessicant, ie, it dissolves PROTEIN on contact (YOU are mostly protein). only a MORAN would take borax, and only a SHILL would advise anons to do so. boron IS an essential nutrient, but DO NOT eat borax to get it. first, it is ionic and will NOT be readily absorbed from the GI tract. second, there are organic forms of boron readily available as dietary supplements from any place that sells vitamins and supplements. TAKE THAT.

 

this is from wikipedia because it's easy to copypasta, BUT IT IS ESSENTIALLY THE SAME INFO YOU WOULD FIND IN A CHEMISTRY TEXTBOOK FROM A CENTURY AGO. it is true and accurate.

 

Possible carcinogen

The Indonesian Directorate of Consumer Protection warns of the risk of liver cancer with high consumption of borax over a period of 5–10 years.[39]

Risk to fertility and pregnancy

Borax was added to the Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) candidate list on December 16, 2010. The SVHC candidate list is part of the EU Regulations on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals 2006 (REACH), and the addition was based on the revised classification of borax as toxic for reproduction category 1B under the CLP Regulations. Substances and mixtures imported into the EU which contain borax are now required to be labelled with the warnings "May damage fertility" and "May damage the unborn child".[60] It was proposed for addition to REACH Annex XIV by the ECHA on July 1, 2015.[61] If this recommendation is approved, all imports and uses of borax in the EU will have to be authorized by the ECHA.[needs update]

Review of the boron toxicity (as boric acid and borates) published 2012 in Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health concluded: "It clearly appears that human B [boron] exposures, even in the highest exposed cohorts, are too low to reach the blood (and target tissue) concentrations that would be required to exert adverse effects on reproductive functions."[62]

 

A draft risk assessment released by Health Canada in July 2016 has found that overexposure to boric acid has the potential to cause developmental and reproductive health effects. Since people are already exposed to boric acid naturally through their diets and water, Health Canada advised that exposure from other sources should be reduced as much as possible, especially for children and pregnant women. The concern is not with any one product, but rather multiple exposures from a variety of sources. With this in mind, the department also announced that registrations for certain pesticides that contain boric acid, which are commonly used in homes, will have their registrations cancelled and be phased out of the marketplace. As well, new, more protective label directions are being introduced for other boric acid pesticides that continue to be registered in Canada (for example, enclosed bait stations and spot treatments using gel formulations).[63]

>We use boric acid, very diluted in sterile water, to help with styes. It works.

that is correct. boric acid crystals are sold as eye wash. the problem with borax is NOT the boric acid, it's the sodium hydroxide that is formed when you add borax to water. NaOH (caustic soda) is VERY DANGEROUS, and instantly destroys living tissue.
