16. A Few Things

First, the claims are based on boron compounds, not boron.
While the toxicity if boron is well-understood, the LD50 of borax (Sodium tetraborate decahydrate) is quite high, at around 6g per kg of body weight.
Boron, however, has an LD50 of around 2g for total body weight of the typical adult.
So, you need to grasp the difference between boron & a molecule that is less than 10% boron by mass.
Second, it's doubtful anybody is taking boron for arthritis as it would cost around $260/ounce for 99.9% boron metal.
Finally, I'm not sure it's wise to ask for medical advice from strangers on the internet.
