personally if I want boron, ill spend the money for a human grade supplement. Im not going to go and buy something from detergent isle. I know a lot of people do it BUT there isnt any semblance of purity like one would expect from a supplement designed for human consumption.

i expose myself to a lot of borax and also take 9mg of triboron. i have washed with it, bathed with it, cleaned with it, spread around the house for ants and such - its even in my bathtub.

if it had bad stuff in it i wouldnt get it on my skin. thats the same as eating it.

i havent had it effect my virility, drive or had my balls shrink. im not saying this cant happen, it just hasnt happened with me.

take everything with a grain of salt, including what i say. basically things work they way you think they will regardless of the "science."

Oral Toxicity

According to the Safety Source for Pest Management, the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, considers boric acid to be a moderately acutely toxic substance due in part to oral toxicity. The EPA's reregistration document states that a subchronic borax feeding study using dogs resulted in blood and metabolism disorders as well as effects to the testes, endocrine system, brain weight and size ratios among various organs and glands. The Material Safety Data Sheet for sodium tetraborate decahydrate states that human fatalities have been reported from acute poisoning. In lesser doses, borax may simply cause irritation of the digestive tract. If you swallow any amount of borax, seek medical attention. Do not induce vomiting, but rinse your mouth with water and drink 2 to 4 cups milk or water.

Dermal Toxicity

Dermal toxicity is another reason the EPA considers boric acid to be moderately acutely toxic. The Material Safety Data Sheet states that the substance may cause skin irritation. For first aid, it recommends flushing skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Then get medical aid if irritation develops or persists. Wash clothing before reuse.

Eye Irritation

The Material Data Safety Sheet also states that borax may cause eye irritation. Treat eye contamination by flushing eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting each eyelid occasionally. Get medical aid.
Respiratory Irritant

A study published in the December 1985 issue of "British Journal of Industrial Medicine" indicates that borax dust acts as a simple respiratory irritant. Researchers found symptoms of acute respiratory irritation such as dryness of the mouth, nose or throat, dry cough, nose bleeds, sore throat, productive cough, shortness of breath and chest tightness in borax workers who participated in the study. The Material Data Safety Sheet recommends that if you inhale borax dust, immediately leave the exposure area and get out into fresh air. If coughing or other symptoms of respiratory irritation persist, get medical aid.
Reproductive Effects

The Safety Source for Pest Management reports adverse reproductive effects on rats, mice and rabbits. The EPA observed maternal liver and kidney effects, decreased weight gain and decreased fetal body weights. In two studies, at the highest dose levels, the subjects did not produce litters. Prenatal mortality occurred at the highest dose levels in the rabbit study.

When I initially tried borax, I began taking 1/4 teaspoon per day and after a few days my testicles started to feel sore. I quit the borax instantly upon noticing that. I may fool around with health and life, but I don't want to mess up a good thing, so I am extra careful with my male parts. Anyhow I now take about a 1/16th of a teaspoon of borax mixed in my coffee about every third or fourth day or so.

I'm 45 and have been told that I have too much libido by my wife. I don't think so, but we disagree on that. She didn't begin this complaining until after we were married about a month. The timing of it all resembles a bait and switch ploy.

A couple of other things I have tried that seemed to have an effect on my testicular function, besides Borax, and Iodine, are D-Aspartic Acid, and Macuna Puriens(L-Dopa). You might try playing with them, and see if they help. It sounds like you couldn't hurt your libido right now, if it is non-existant. It may be worth trying them to see if either helps you get your libido back. Neither are to be taken consistently. They both need to be cycled off periodically or your body adapts in the wrong direction.

I took it for about a month, then stopped when my hair started falling out, I sense it increased conversion of T to DHT but don't know for sure. Its known to cause testicular atrophy, at what levels, I don't know & don't care. I don't mess with boron


"Researchers observed skeletal abnormalities and decreased fetal weight in offspring at oral doses that caused no signs of toxicity to the mother."

im 52 kidney/testicle pain means stones descending. been there lol. check your ph level and eat accordingly, i use baking soda everyday and my sex life is back. if you have high cholesterol it and block your small blood vessels to your penis. cleanse your small and large colon to reduce your cholesterol as you are recycling your liver/gallbladder acid since your waste is slow to move out.

Jay77,

Sex Drive & Erectile Dysfunction problems are a complex & difficult problem, and up to 50% of men suffer sooner or later. Boron is a tiny slice of the solution.

T2T and I have made some MAJOR progress on this problem over the last few months.

There are 2 major factors causing Sex Problems for men:
1) T2T: Reports
==================
Estrogen dominance is reeking havoc with both men & women, caused by contamination in our food supply!!! Commercially raised beef, chicken, and pork; Birth control pills; Spermicide; Detergents; Plastics; Plastic drinking bottles; Pesticides; Herbicides; Personal care products; Canned foods; Lacquers.

How to limit exposure to estrogen
Use glass or ceramics to store food and avoid reheating food in plastic containers
Use a simple detergents or soap
Avoid cosmetics, deodorants, shampoos, cleaning supplies, and car care chemicals
Consume grass fed meats raised without hormones
Consume produce grown without pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic fertilizer - buy organic
Don't use chemical pesticides or herbicides at home
Don't use condoms with spermicide
Excess body fat makes the body convert testosterone into estrogen - so LOSE WEIGHT & exercise

!Estrogen causes Erectile Dysfuntion and hair loss in men
Also excess weight, man boobs, low energy, more.
Can be verified with saliva testing.

2) Plunging levels of Nitric Oxide at age 35
=====================================
Sooner or later results in high blood pressure, heart disease, Erectile Dysfunction, lost libido.
Boosting levels of Nitric Oxide levels is the secret to v1agra high blood pressure drugs & heart medications
Easily verified with inexpensive saliva test strips.

See this research link for more on the research by T2T and myself.
