Guest guest Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Dear PSCers, 1 Year ago I emailed to Dr.Cabot an Australian gastroenterologist and she believed that PSC PATIENTS have to take X/mg Selenium daily ( can't remember the dose) because it's an anti inflammtory medicine and can help us for alleviating of our inflammation. I forgot to follow it up I just remembered today and I'm keen on sharing this with you all that may be a good point. Is anyone taking this medicine? Should (not) we take it? and why if not? I can ask her to give us an explanation about Selenium. Please leave me your opinions. Melvyn 20 y/o Tehran, Iran PSC 2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Hi Melvyn Selenium in human health and disease with emphasis on those aspects peculiar to New Zealand CD Thomson and MF Evidence is accumulating to suggest that selenium (Se) is an essential trace element for man and is reviewed with emphasis on those aspects peculiar to New Zealand. The extremely low Se levels in New Zealand soils results in a low Se content of foods, low dietary intakes, low urinary excretions, and low blood Se concentrations and glutathione peroxidase activities.

Hope this helps from the bottom of the world in New Zealand. > > Dear PSCers, > > 1 Year ago I emailed to Dr.Cabot an Australian gastroenterologist > > I can ask her to give us an explanation about Selenium. > > Please leave me your opinions. > > Melvyn > 20 y/o > Tehran, Iran > PSC 2005 > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
