The basic steps are: 1  Cut open the plasmid and paste in the gene. This process relies on restriction enzymes (which cut DNA) and DNA ligase (which joins DNA). 2  Transform the plasmid into bacteria. Use antibiotic selection to identify the bacteria that took up the plasmid.
Boric acid (which is not the same as borax) is known to be especially toxic to infants as their systems can eliminate it only slowly. It should not be used even in solution as a home remedy for childhood infections. Some people use boric acid for yeast infections.
This has 25 to 30 mg of borax and provides about 3 mg of boron. Take 1 dose per day mixed with drink or food. If that feels right then take a second dose with another meal. If there is no specific health problem or for maintenance you may continue indefinitely with 1 or 2 doses daily.
