RE: Selenium Supplementation

[Guest guest]

My son was very low (in the red) in Selenium on the Red Blood Cell

elements test which measures multiple minerals and a handful of metals.

For our situation the low was a result of chelation. It had previously

been in the good range.

As mercury leaves the body it attaches itself to selenium (or vice

versa) with a ratio of 1:4 I believe. I have not studied this, this is

what I was told by our DAN. We were advised to give 100 mcgs to my son

on the " off " days of chelation(every other day). My son weighs 40 lbs.

We did this for 7-8 months.

We got his most recent RBC elements results back and the selenium is

back up again. So we are not supplementing anymore, and we are done

chelating, also found out the metals are out!

Oh, meant to say you can get Selenium in capsules from Kirkman's that

can be opened. I believe these are SCD legal last I checked. My son at

40 lbs got one whole capsule every other day.

I have 100mcg tabs but the dosage is adult and weighs

> only 11.5kg (25 pounds), so I don't know what to give him (too much

> selenium can cause seizures too).
