Selenium: Powerful Antioxidant / Coffee as stimulant?

February 17, 2003

Hello,

I'm a member posting for the 1st time, I have read where Selenium is best

taken with Vitamin E for best results.

Also with the raves regarding coffee info listed I wonder why when I drink it

instead of getting a boost, I feel i need a nap or I can and have went to

sleep, I don't feel no stimulant at all. I also use little to no sugar in

my coffee.

Has this happened to anyone else???

--- That's funny o' nameless person because coffee has the same effect on me and

I've often wondered how on earth I can 'nod off' to sleep after a stimulant like

coffee.

I might add that I usually drink tea which in no way has the same effect, but

then I've always been 'wired up' different ...

Sorry Ray,

Forgot to add my name, it's Brenda and I'm glad I'm not the only one out

there who sleeps good on a cup or more of coffee. I was talking to a coworker

and his son has ADD and some none medicated treatments for that have been

giving a kid some coffee and he said I may have it but have never been

diagnosed with it. I do like to stay active and MUST keep my mind busy or it

drives me nuts at times. At work I have 7 different computer systems

monitoring different things so that's how I can sit still for 8 or more

hours, each is different. Strange to think of it now. Amazing when ya think

about it now.

--- Brenda, I know what you mean when you say you MUST keep your mind busy

or it will drive you nuts - you are probably a genius (like me) <LOL>, if

ignorance is bliss, tis folly to be wise ..... Oh, how I often wish I didn't

know so much and that I could be happy sitting in front of the idiots lantern

for hours like any 'normal' person!

I've actually thought I could be a bit autistic in some kinda way, I've always

lived in a world of my own to a certain extent but when I did an I.Q. test many

moons ago, I actually 'scored' very high - to my amazement.

I should think that monitoring 7 different computer systems occupies the mind

somewhat!
