It is one of the remedies to help rid candida. Such remedies are generally recommended by naturopaths. There are other polychrest remedies from which appropriate remedy should be selected on the basis of totality of symptoms. | | |

Kadwa
What am I going to get out of this remedy - how will I feel - will it help this horrible bloating, help weight gain associated with the candida. Help my constipation.
And what is a polychrest remedy.
Thank you for your help. | | |

Hi
Here is more information.
Borate of Sodium
(BORAX)
Gastro-intestinal irritation. Salivation, nausea, vomiting, colic, diarrhœa, collapse, albuminuria, casts and vesical spasm. Delirium, visual changes, hæmaturia, and skin eruptions have all been observed from over-dosing.
Dread of downward motion in nearly all complaints. For homeopathic purposes, the peculiar nervous symptoms are very characteristic, and have frequently been verified, especially in the therapeutics of children. Of much value in epilepsy. Aphthous ulceration of mucous membranes.
Stomach and Abdomen.--Distention after eating; vomiting. Gastralgia, depending upon uterine disturbance. Pain as if diarrhœa would result.

I suffer constipation - so hope it won't make it any worse.
Will it help get rid of the candida and my bloating - I'm going to avoid yeast and sugar but have been told to take borax.
What will it make me feel like - will I feel like I'm detoxing, lose weight, will it help my sometimes "down" mood and lift it for me.
Don't understand why borax when I read the things listed I have none of it - I have no spasms, visual changes, skin eruptions, gastro irritation so how can htis remedy help.
I do have bloating and distention after eating and drinking anything. | This thread continues beneath the following ad.

There are many remedies that are indicated for your condition. They may be effective if they are taken in succession. But you are very sensitive to remedies (as is evident from your earlier threads) and you get aggravation from any remedy that you take. So making suggestion becomes difficult. Can you tell me whether the one who asked you to take Borax is a homeopath or a naturopath. | | |
| Re: borax | From onyxgroup [Log on to view profile] | on 2010-02-07 |
Homeopath. Strange Kadwa but some remedies like nux vom, nat mur, sepia I've taken as an acute over 5 nights for a problem in wet dose 6c form and I've been fine.
Yet the lachesis after two doses on two consectutive nights on a wet dose 6c I was really bad with aggravations. So maybe lachesis was just the wrong remedy and I did a proving.
The only thing is it's been prescribed 3 times per day either dry or wet dose - I'll do it by wet dose as I think that's better for me.
So Kadwa - honest opinion cos you are a very good person and I've trusted what you said in the past - what do you think borax will do for my problem, do you think I'll get the aggravation like lachesis or be good as I have been with nux vom and the other I mentioned.
Does this remedy detox you - what can I expect it to do for my problem.
I do have such faith in your replies and I hoped that you would respond honestly like you did with my previous posts on lachesis.
Very kind you are Kadwa | | |
| Re: borax | From maheeru [Log on to view profile] | on 2010-02-07 |
Onyxgroup, some remedies are not advisable to be taken in lower potencies. Lachesis belongs to that category. since you used 6c of this remedy, you got aggravations. | | |
| Re: borax | From kadwa [Log on to view profile] | on 2010-02-08 |
Dear Onyxgroup
Thanks for calling me kind. It is your kindness!!
These naturopaths give remedies in 6c potency. If you have taken Nux Vomica 200c or Lachesis 200c you would have been cured by now. Why don't you try Nux Vomica 200c if you don't have confidence in Lachesis. Maheeru has said very rightly that the poisons like Lachesis should never be taken in low potency.
If you read the theory of potentization you will see that the process of potentization make the remedy highly diluted and it won't make any more diluted by taking it as a wet dose. Similarly taking remedy as wet dose in low potency is not the same as taking a remedy in high potency. | | |
| Re: borax | From onyxgroup [Log on to view profile] | on 2010-02-08 |
Yes guess the potency may have been wrong - my problem has been treated for 9 months and I still have it so maybe the potency is wrong.
Homeopath in the past has kept me on lyco 1LM for months and even I feel myself it should have moved up to LM2 and LM3 over the last few months - hence me changing homeopaths.
So borax at a low dose - will it be good for me - I have to go gentle because of my sensitivities. | | |
| Re: borax | From kadwa [Log on to view profile] | on 2010-02-09 |
Borax is nowhere near the remedies like lyc, nux , ars and lach. It is better to go for higher potencies. If lower potencies are gentler what is the purpose of potentization? Someone may say herbs are better than lower potencies. | | |
| Re: borax | From onyxgroup [Log on to view profile] | on 2010-02-09 |
How do you mean it is nowhere near remedies like lyc, nux etc.
In what way - is it better worse, or just a total different remedy.
It has been prescribed in 6c x 3 per day. | | |
| Re: borax | From kadwa [Log on to view profile] | on 2010-02-09 |
Lyc, nux etc are polychrest remedies with great curative powers. Borax is generally considered as a children remedy. It is indicated when there is dread of downward motion. | | |
| Re: borax | From dhundhun [Log on to view profile] | on 2010-02-09 |
Borax has been used for mouth thrush of infants (mixing in honey). It homeopathic potency also it is useful for candida of mouth, nipple and gut. Usually gut candida is accompanied by loose stool.
Is is used in some of combination medicines of Candida.
It is rarely used medicine in homeopathy and provides symptomatic cure. | | |
| Re: borax | From dhundhun [Log on to view profile] | on 2010-02-09 |
The difference between symptomatic cure and deep cure is that with symptomatic cure, underlying cause is not fixed and so there are chances of relapse.
With deep cure such as Lyc, it fixes underlying causes also, so that disease will not relapse.
I hope, I am removing confusion by giving a simple clarification - although the answer is complex. | This thread continues beneath the following ad.

| Re: borax | From onyxgroup [Log on to view profile] | on 2010-02-09 |
Thing is I've been on lyc 1LM dose for months and I still have the problem so thought I would seek an alternative.
I've been prescribed the borax in the hope it does fix the problem but now I'm not sure when you say you can relapse.
I'm cutting out wheat and sugar too.
Why is it such rarely used - I've searched and must admit not found many people who have had it.
So will it help my problem for bloating, constipation and candida? Or am I wasting my time.
My dose is 3 per day - is that OK on a 6c to take it as many times as that? | | |
| Re: borax | From kadwa [Log on to view profile] | on 2010-02-09 |
Your homeopath gives doses in low potency and he repeats them often. Polychrest remedies don't work best in such pattern. | | |
| Re: borax | From onyxgroup [Log on to view profile] | on 2010-02-09 |
So do you think this won't work? I think it's just a start for a month or so to see how I cope then a constitutional will be given. | | |
| Re: borax | From kadwa [Log on to view profile] | on 2010-02-10 |
i like Rishi's (he is one of the prescribers here, he has designed a questionnaire which people like me use)style of working out a constitutional remedy. He asks significant non-leading questions and on the basis of answers given he works out a similimum. He doesn't change remedy often in the try and hit fashion. In homeopathy different people are doing different things. Your homeopath is unique. | | |
| Re: borax | From onyxgroup [Log on to view profile] | on 2010-02-10 |
Can I post you privately what I filled in via a PM or email? I'd be interested in your findings and recommendations. |
