Warning: Missing Mineral Causing Arthritis
Summary
TLDRThis video script highlights the often-overlooked trace mineral boron, which plays a crucial role in arthritis management. Boron aids in calcium and magnesium absorption, prevents calcification in soft tissues, and activates vitamin D. Deficiency can lead to joint inflammation, tooth decay, and hormonal imbalances. The parathyroid gland, which controls calcium levels, also requires boron for its function. Research indicates boron's potential in reducing prostate cancer risk and alleviating nerve-related pain in animals. The recommended daily intake is 3 milligrams, three times a day, with a low toxicity level compared to salt.
Takeaways

Q & A
What is the main focus of the discussion in the transcript?
-The main focus of the discussion is the role of the trace mineral boron in arthritis and its various health benefits.
Why might people not see a difference even after taking vitamin D or magnesium for arthritis?
-People might not see a difference because they could be missing the trace mineral boron, which is essential for allowing calcium and magnesium to work effectively.
What happens if you are deficient in boron?
-Deficiency in boron can lead to excess calcium and magnesium in the urine, more calcification in soft tissues, weaker bones, and potential issues like tooth decay, inflammation in joints, receding gums, kidney stones, and calcium buildup in arteries and joints.
How does boron help with vitamin D activation?
-Boron helps keep minerals inside the bone, which allows vitamin D to be activated and aids in the overall process of bone health and mineral regulation.
What is the role of the parathyroid gland, and how is boron related to it?
-The parathyroid gland produces a hormone that helps control calcium levels. Boron is necessary for the proper functioning of this hormone, even if vitamin D levels are normal.
What is the connection between boron and vitamin D resistance?
-Even with normal vitamin D levels, a deficiency in boron can lead to vitamin D resistance, causing the parathyroid hormone to increase in an attempt to extract more calcium from the bones.
How does boron affect testosterone and estrogen levels?
-A deficiency in boron can result in lower amounts of both testosterone and estrogen.
What was the observation made in animals regarding boron deficiency?
-In animals, particularly horses, boron deficiency can cause shaking heads due to issues with the trigeminal nerve, which is associated with pain and inflammation.
Is there any evidence that boron can decrease the risk of prostate cancer?
-There is data suggesting that boron can help decrease the risk of prostate cancer, although more research is needed to confirm this.
What is the recommended starting dosage of boron for someone looking to address potential deficiencies?
-The recommended starting dosage is 3 milligrams of boron three times a day, with an evaluation of the problem's resolution after 1 to 3 months.
Why might boron levels be low in the soil, and what does this imply for our health?
-Heavy tilling of soils has depleted trace minerals, including boron. This implies that people may be more likely to be deficient in boron, which could have various health implications as discussed in the transcript.

🛠️ The Importance of Boron in Arthritis Management
This paragraph discusses the often-overlooked trace mineral, boron, and its crucial role in managing arthritis. Boron is essential for the proper functioning of calcium and magnesium, which are commonly supplemented for joint health. A deficiency in boron can lead to increased urinary excretion of these minerals, resulting in calcification in soft tissues and weaker bones. The trace mineral also plays a role in activating vitamin D and reducing inflammation by lowering C-reactive protein levels. Additionally, boron is linked to preventing tooth decay and may help with conditions such as receding gums, kidney stones, and prostate cancer. The parathyroid gland, which is rich in boron, is highlighted for its role in calcium regulation through the production of parathyroid hormone. The paragraph suggests that even with normal vitamin D levels, a lack of boron could lead to vitamin D resistance. It also mentions that boron deficiency could affect hormone levels, such as testosterone and estrogen, and uses the example of horses to illustrate the effects of boron deficiency. The recommended daily intake of boron is suggested to start at 3 milligrams three times a day, with the note that boron toxicity levels are lower than salt. The paragraph concludes by emphasizing the importance of boron in nutrition and its potential impact on arthritis treatment.

today's topic revolves around the number
one missing Trace mineral in arthritis
for arthritis a lot of people are taking
vitamin D and they may not see the
difference other people take a lot of
magnesium for the joints and they also
might not feel much difference unless
they have this additional Trace mineral
involved and that is boron now let me
explain what Boron is it's a trace bter
that we don't have a lot of studies on
but there's a lot of data relating to
arthritis I want to share with you Boron
seems to be the key Trace mineral to
allow calcium to work to allow magnesium
to work if you're deficient in boron
you're going to have excess amounts of
calcium magnesium in the urine you're
going to tend to get more calcification
in the soft tissues you're not going to
have the strong bones so Boron really
helps keep the mineral
inside the bone and allows vitamin D to
be activated and help this whole process
work Boron also prevents tooth decay
like in tooth cavities if you don't have
enough Boron you're going to have more
inflammation in the joints because Boron
helps reduce something called C reactive
protein you may even find that you're
getting receding gums kidney stones
calcium in the arteries and calcium in
the joint because you're deficient in
boron the tissue that contains or stores
the most Boron is something called the
parathyroid gland let me explain very
simply what the parathyroid gland does
it SE four small glands around your
thyroid and what the parathyroid gland
does is produces a hormone that helps
control calcium so let's say for example
you don't have enough vitamin D or you
don't have enough calcium well the
parathyroid hormone will
increase to extract the calcium from
your bone pull it out so you have have
enough calcium so you can look at the
parathyroid hormone as kind of like
another vitamin D and what's interesting
about the parathyroid hormone is you
need this Boron to allow this whole
thing to work even if your levels of
vitamin D are normal in your blood you
might have vitamin D resistance and this
is where the parathyroid hormone starts
going higher and higher and higher even
know you're taking vitamin D well it's
because you have vitamin D resistance
but it can also be you're short in boron
so I think a lot of people are deficient
in boron because they really haven't put
it on the radar as being something they
need also if you're low in boron you're
going to have low amounts of
testosterone you're going to have low
amounts of estrogen now when doing a
deep dive into nutrition I always look
at research on animals right because
sometimes with humans the research is
kind of like hidden andar bued but for
Animals it's it's usually out there and
I found something interesting with
horses if a horse is deficient in Boron
their heads start shaking because they
have a problem with the trigeminal nerve
that causes pain inflammation and
they're trying to do something to get
rid of it well magnesium in boron gets
rid of it pretty quickly there's even
data that Boron can help decrease the
risk of prostate cancer as far as the
amounts of boron to take I would
recommend starting out with like 3
milligram three times a day and see if
your problem is resolved after a period
of 1 to 3 months now some people take a
lot more uh Boron just so you know like
some people take like 30 milligrams a
day you have to realize that the
toxicity level of boron is less than
Salt and the heavy tilling of our soils
have depleted a lot of these trace
minerals including Boron so I just
wanted to put Boron on your radar just
so you know it's out there and when it
does there's a little more data to know
about arthritis if you haven't seen this
video right here go ahead and check it
