@michaelzullo - thanks! Mark Passio did a podcast on water purification with this guy Fernando Salguero of "survive and thrive" in which he mentions that borax NOT a good alternative to a reverse osmosis system and YET there are also websites like these http://www.growyouthful.com/remedy/borax.php#borax-internal that claim it is good for arthritis, osteoperosis, and to get rid of flouride in water ....but I have also seen others like you say that they use it... you have only noticed dehydration in how long have you been doing it ? thanks!
