I’ve had a Rheumatoid Arthritis problem for many years. It has been so bad in the past that I was a virtual invalid on several occasions. The last time I was “hit” was in September 05. I was off my feet most of the time, and my shoulders, wrists, and hands were so bad I could not even dress myself, open or close a car door, sleep lying down, or even sleep for more than a few minutes at a time sitting in a chair. If you’ve never had the disabling pain of RA you won’t understand, but let me tell you, I wanted to cry when I was forced to go beyond my limitations, and each time I did I could feel the ripping and tearing of muscle, ligaments, and tendons. I was preparing my two girls, age 7 and 8 at the time, for when “daddy wouldn’t be there anymore”. I knew I was dieing!!! I could no longer control my muscles and was shaking like I had Parkinsons disease.

Then in February,2006 I got an email from one of our own, Goldballoon, with some references to articles about boron and its effect on RA and other auto-immune diseases. The one that most applied was written by an MD in Australia. Do a Google search for “boron, rheumatoid arthritis” and it will come right up. The gist of it was that within three weeks after beginning taking boron, 80% of all RA victims would be cured. I found boron tablets at the local health food store and began taking three 3mg tablets per day for three weeks according to instructions. After the first week I was disappointed… I wasn’t noticing much. After the second week I was thinking I could tell a difference, but not yet convinced. Then, every day after that I COULD TELL A DIFFERENCE, and at the end of the three weeks I was feeling unbelievably great. I continued taking 2 boron tablets daily, even though the article said I could cut to one tablet as a maintenance dose after the first three weeks. I just wasn’t willing to take the chance of the RA returning.

In other research, I concluded that a person can take 18mg of boron per day FOREVER with no ill effects, and the most I had ever taken was 9mg per day for those first three weeks. Also in other research, I learned that boron is essential for assimilation of calcium in the body, and without it the body develops osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, Lupus, fibromyalgia, gout, and most every auto-immune disease.

It’s now been a year and three months since I discovered the boron cure. I have to admit I was apprehensive about going into Fall/winter, but I had not a trace of RA all winter, and as an added bonus, my fingers, which in past winters had turned numb as soon as they were exposed to about 40 degree weather or colder, stayed warm even without gloves, all the way down to around 15 degrees . Somehow the circulation which had been impaired in the past has returned to normal.

Unfortunately, as the article states, the boron cure only works in about 80% of the cases. Why it doesn’t work on them all I don’t know. But I do know it worked for me, and…..

I’m a happy goldbug!!
