I think you are using quite a bit too much. This article
gives a much smaller amount which may be easier to measure.

Boron is not officially recognized as an essential mineral,
however, it is important for the calcium metabolism and,
therefore, for healthy bones. In a study of postmenopausal
women, boron supplementation reduced calcium loss by 44% and
increased estrogen to the same levels as in women receiving
estrogen replacement therapy. It can also help with
arthritis. A therapeutic dose of 9 mg and a maintenance dose
of 3 to 6 mg have been used. Boron is not normally available
as a supplement. Instead borax or boric acid is being used,
50 mg of borax contains approximately 6 mg of boron and
boric acid 8 mg. To measure this amount, dissolve one level
teaspoon of borax in one quart of water and take a
teaspoonful twice daily with meals.
Borax and boric acid have very low toxicity, only after
taking several grams for several months did toxicity
symptoms develop. The French diet is reported to contain
about 36 mg of boron daily. I believe that a similar high
intake would also be beneficial for those of other
nationalities, although the exact amount is not critical. A
chemistry teacher with severe arthritis described that he
just put his finger into a box of borax twice daily and
sucked the finger. He recovered after 3 weeks. I just dip
the tip of a knife or spoon into borax and mix that with
some food or juice.

Went to Wal-Mart and got a box and am going to try it. I have some
empty gelatin caps and I filled one up, which is about 1/4 tsp. and took
it. Should I start with it 2x a day? If this helps get rid of the pain
in my knees, I will be very glad.
Thanks
