Selenium is AMAZING. I managed a study on selenium administration during and after heart cardiac surgery and the results showed that selenium had protective benefits. Reduced stay in icu after surgery. Reduced infections. Earlier discharge. If I remember correctly. During the study we recruited a 80 year old man who owned and was still running a huge working farm. He had been taking selenium since the 70’s and was sooo excited to be in the study and told us we were way behind because he knew the benefits decades ago. He has a charity that sends selenium to Some African communities that had aids/hiv. He also gave his animals selenium. Some of the benefits below.
Selenium is used by people in the prevention and/or treatment of different disorders including cardiovascular disease, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, hypothyroidism, stroke, atherosclerosis, cancer susceptibility and treatment, HIV, AIDS, neuronal diseases such as Alzheimer or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, pancreatitis, depression, and diabetes amongst others. Several mechanisms have been suggested to mediate the biological effects of Se and these include antioxidant defence systems, synthesis and stability of metabolites that act as intermediates implicated in diverse selenoproteins expression pathways oxidative metabolism, immune system modulation, DNA intercalators, kinase regulation, enzymatic cofactor, and gene expression. A number of clinical trials in recent years have provided convincing evidence of the central role of this element, either alone or in combination with other micronutrients or antioxidants, in the prevention and treatment of multiple diseases.

I really saw a difference when I added this into my supplement schedule:
I want that air purifier!!!!! The price is right....
