A friend has been taking selenium for years.
Often as much as 1,000 mcg per day of the crisis/acute-related forms (w/o side affects despite the government's warnings).
She doesnt remember when she last had the flu or a cold and now takes 200 mcg and her husband is still on the 1,000 mcg because his teeth are so bad and are dumping toxins in his body (and can't afford to fix his teeth).
There are two kinds of selenium.
One is to be used for maintenance (L-selenomethionine). The other is for acute/crisis situations.
She uses the maintenance selenium (L-selenomethionine) through the multivitamin (Youngveity's Tangey Tangerine 2.0, the "Mighty 90" minerals and vitamins and takes 2x/day in plain kefir-- which masks it well).
She is a purest and this product doesn't completely meet her standards but there is no other comparable on the market so this has been her choice for now.
For acute/crisis situations there is a product with a combination of 3 forms of selenium she buys from Life Extension (I console most of us to be in acute/crisis situations due to the onslaught of chemtrails and EMFs/EMPs : Super Selenium Complex.
Super Selenium Complex delivers sodium selenite, L-selenomethionine, and selenium-methyl L-selenocysteine.
Super Selenium Complex also contains a small amount of vitamin E because it has been shown to work synergistically with selenium. (Note this doesn't meet her purest standards either because of the form of Vitamin E included in this product.
She would rather have the 3 forms of selenium w/o the Vitamin E and then add her own Vitamin E choice with it but this is the only product shes found with the 3 seleniums together.
These two products for the last few years have made a HUGE difference to how she feels as well as in terms of preventing health issues.
The link to this (1 hr 7 min) video is exceedingly educational and the two main items suggested one should take which I listed above are not expensive,(the "mighty 90" essential nutrients plus the selenium for acute issues).
She took copious notes on it, and mentions this protocol is beneficial for:
Cancer, MS, MD, cataracts, poor vision, heart disease (including enlarged heart, cardio myopathy), HIV/AIDS, thyroid issues, liver damage, weak immune system, muscular pains/issues, pancreatitis, septicemia, pneumonia, liver spots, neurologic damage (including stroke), infections, cystic fibrosis, depression & other mood disorders, dwarfism, hemorrhagic fever (ebola?), dental problems, viruses, lymphedema (infected lymph nodes), etc.
URGENT!
Selenium: may reduce risk of certain CANCER and other amazing info!

Note that large quantities of Vitamin C are also part of the protocol. Take a lot of Vitamin C but not huge amounts.
I am not selling either of these products.
