Re: To 48124


It's kinda scary for me to use selenium because I have had serious detoxes before that I felt did damage. Taking it slow is the only way to go in my book. When I first came to CZ I had a grand announcement to make that I believed that detoxing is what brought about my MS. I have now learned not to make grand entries like that if you want to be taken seriously. lol

Have you ever considered the process of detoxing mercury from your brain? I have lots of questions. If everything goes well I would expect to excrete the majority from all of the eliminating channels but what happens when you interrupt the excreting? Not drinking enough water or taking other supplements that interfere. Stopping the process in midstream leaves the mercury where?

I guess I could eat lots of Brazil Nuts but yuck! You are probably right that it's detoxing the mercury and not the Selenium itself causing my problems. I was hoping I was finished with all that but perhaps not. Thanks for bringing that to mind. refreshed 48124

Selenium supplementation is an effective way to reduce excessive mercury levels. I have monitored on a number of occasions a sharp drop in selenium levels when dental Amalgams were removed, and where subsequently Se lowly returned to previous levels again over a three to four week time period.

When people have no heavy or toxic metal concentrations in their body (that bind to selenium), most of the time there are no negative symptoms when taking about 200mcg per day of selenium, however when selenium is very low when first supplemented (perhaps due to toxic / heavy metal storage), and larger amounts are taken, adverse effects are very commonly experienced the first few weeks due to
the heavy or toxic metals being eliminated by the body. In that case, I always urge my patients to slowly increase their selenium dose from as low as 25mcg per day (or even lower), up to eventually the full dose, which generally is around 100mcg or sometimes higher, depending on circumstances.

Organic forms of selenium (selenium yeast and selenomethionine, or selenocysteine) are always preferable to inorganic forms such as sodium selenite because of their better absorption and lower toxicity, even when ingested at much high amounts. In contrast, due to its free-radical promoting oxidative nature, inorganic selenium is mutagenic and has caused cataracts at high doses in animal studies, while organic selenium is less toxic, and does not have mutagenic or oxidizing activity.
Deficiency of selenium leads to lowered glutathione peroxidase activity (cardiovascular disease) and it is implicated with a higher risk for cancer of the liver (particularly from hepatitis B), lungs, breast, skin, colon, rectum and prostate.

It is still not clear whether the lowered risk of developing certain cancers from taking about 200mcg of selenium per day also applies to individuals who previously exhibited normal levels of selenium, or only to those with lower levels before supplementing that amount.
