Boron - is it good for treating arthritis?

Boron protected against osteoporosis
A study of twelve post-menopausal women aged between 48 and 72 found that supplementing a low-boron, low-magnesium diet with three milligrams of boron a day for 48 days both (i) increased 17 beta-estradiol* and testosterone levels and (ii) reduced calcium and magnesium levels in the urine.
This suggested that the boron supplement had reduced both calcium loss and bone demineralisation, thus reducing bone erosion and protecting against osteoporosis

Low boron, higher arthritis

Dr Rex Newnham's research has found persuasive evidence worldwide linking low intake of boron with increased levels of arthritis. In parts of Australia, for instance, where the drinking water contains high boron levels (seven parts per million), there is no arthritis in either humans or animals. Other examples are: In Israel, with high soil boron levels, arthritis runs at 1% compared to 20% in the US, with both low water and low soil boron levels The Zhosa tribe in South Africa drinks high-boron water. Only 3% of its people suffer from arthritis until they move into cities, where their arthritis levels quickly rise to those pertaining in that area The opposite is also true. In parts of the world where boron intake (from both food and water) is under one milligram a day, ...
