Re: regression with selenium

[Guest guest]

Hi

According to the hair test book, the selenite form of selenium is

actually quite toxic, and a pro-oxidant. Also used on lab rats to

induce cataracts. The selenomethionine version is supposed to be

much safer.

take care

Oh, I just re-read your message and saw that the regression IS

with selenomethionine, not sodium selenite. How odd! I wonder if

someone else can she dosme light on this one.

Dear Rene and ,

I use Jarrow's Activated Selenium in the form of

methylselenocysteine. It's *upposed*to be superior to

selenomethionine in terms of its antioxidative properties. Rene, do

you know anything about this? Is this claim true? , if so, or

in any case, your son may benefit from a switch to this form. fwiw

Yes! I got a couple of great days and then a disaster! What

behaviors did you get? My son was completely out of control at

school, running away from teachers, not listening. He also started to

loose his hairs, that's a sign of selenium toxicity for him....

Some of the selenium is yeast based and therefore problematic for some. Also

too much selenium without enough zinc can cause problems.

After the issue came up recently somewhere else

I did a Google-search

for Selenium and Mercury

Here are some pages on Selenium worth reading

And this article from the Uni of Nth Dakota

published in the

Seychelles Medical and Dental Journal - Vol 7, no 1

http://www.seychelles.net/smdj/SECIIIC.pdf

The first site gives some dosages

our son who is 2 gets 25 mcg of selenomethionine

we are not otherwise chelating

cheers

Hi Beti

I'm sorry, I don't know anything about this form of selenium (though

I'm flattered that you thought I might :-)).

take care
