I can't get borax..

Perhaps you can find soda.  That works as well, though a little less fast.  I use both baking soda and borax.  Baking soda is a bit gentler for my system.

Hi 

The same thing seems to apply in the UK but many have bought some through sites such as ebay.  I don't know however if the substance is banned does that mean it's illegal for you to buy it, or not encouraged? I'd be interested to hear what others living in the UK and Denmark think and hear more about the quality and effectiveness of the products they have been able to buy. 

I'm really sorry you have had LS from such a young age and hope you manage to find something which helps you. 

Have you tried bicarbonate of soda? Perhaps not as effective but worth a try? I find it offers a lot of relief and seems to be making a difference to me. 

I've just sent you a private message.

So sorry you are much too young to be dealing with this horendous disease! Have you tried ordering it on the internet? I live in the US and I get it over with the laundry detergent. I've been alternating baths between borax and baking soda for a couple weeks now. So far so good however I don't have the fusing so I can't vouch as to it's affectiveness with that issue. I wish you all the best and hope you find something that works! 

 

Hi,

Borax (sodium borate) is actually not an environmental toxin; it is a naturally occuring mineral and is used in a lot of products from food to cosmetics.  From what I've read during my research of it, it was banned in some countries because people were drinking it, or putting it in their eyes, which was not healthy.  I hope you can find some on-line, but if not, as other people have said, you can try baking soda.  That helped me a lot before I discovered the borax treatment.

 

Hey, just wanting to know if anyone is taking Borax internally?

I just found this article last night. Ive just ordered some. If you like, NONAME9043177 I can send you a kg. Im Danish myself.but live in NZ, so I guess postage would be an issue ( and customs?).

Ive copied/pasted hence the long reply..

What are your thoughts ?

"So to cure your lichen sclerosus and give yourself some welcome relief from the itchiness, here's what you do...

Firstly, for relief, simply add a tablespoon of borax powder and a tablespoon of baking soda to a nice warm bath and soak yourself in it for at least 20 minutes.

To cure your lichen sclerosus you take the borax internally (don't worry, it's actually safe when taken as directed). Add 1/8th of a teaspoon of borax powder and 1/8th of a teaspoon of Himalayan pink rock salt powder to one liter of clean (warm) filtered water. Drink this solution in small amounts throughout the day (eg, 50 ml's taken twenty times throughout the day = 1 liter). You can also mix each dose with extra water to dilute if you find it too strong. This one liter solution should be all gone by the time you go to bed. Continue to do this every day for two weeks before dropping back to the permanent "maintenance" dose (to keep your lichen sclerosus away for good!)

For your maintenance dose, mix up 5 grams (roughly one teaspoon) of borax and 5 grams of Himalayan pink rock salt in one liter of filtered water. THIS NOW BECOMES YOUR CONCENTRATED SOLUTION. Store in your pantry for safe keeping. Take 5-10 ml's of this concentrated solution in a glass of filtered water once to twice daily indefinitely (yes, for the rest of your life!) So for clarification, this concentrated solution (maintenance solution) should last you anywhere between 50 & 100 days if you're taking it correctly.

Also keep in mind that depending on your current level of health or any pre-existing health problems you may have, a mild to severe detoxing reaction may be experienced when consuming the 1 liter solution (the one you have for the first two weeks). If this does happen to you then simply halve the dosages (1/16th of a teaspoon instead of 1/8th). The concentrated "maintenance" solution should not cause a problem though. "
