Selenium

May 28, 2006

Dr. Will , one of the world's experts on selenium, who is also

knowledgeable about HIV, told me that he thinks PHIV should get 600 mcg of

selenium per day. Note that the US govt says that the lowest adverse effect

level is 910 mcg per day - with a wide safety margin. Meaning, toxicity is

very unlikely below 910 mcg.

I take selenium as selenite. There are arguments that selenomethione is

better, but the limited amount of toxicity data suggest otherwise.

Absorption claims that selenomethione is superior are unsupportable - as

both forms have just as many quality studies showing that one form is equal

or better in absorption.

Selenium- Powerful Detox

The buildup of toxins in our bodies over the course of years often

results in degenerative diseases. Just as emotional traumas that

have been buried for years tend to surface in midlife, asking that

we examine and change our learned behavior, so too do physical

symptoms surface to reveal the need for change in how we care for

our bodies.

In either case, if we ignore the signals that something is amiss,

that something requires our attention, we do so at our own peril.

Denying pain inevitably leads to more profound pain. Unexamined

fears eventually assume monstrous proportions.

Clinging to habits that do not support growth and life bind us

instead to stagnation and death.

Clearing accumulated toxins is believed to free the body from undue

burden so that it is able to function better and regain the energy

necessary to heal itself.
