Selenium

http://www.diagnose-me.com/treat/T86122.html#G743

 

An essential element involved primarily in enzymes that are antioxidants.

Three selenium- containing enzymes are antioxidant peroxidases and a fourth

selenium-containing enzyme is involved in thyroid hormone production. The

prostate

contains a selenium-containing protein and semen contains relatively large

amounts of selenium. Clinical studies show that selenium is important in

lowering

the risk of several types of cancers. In combination with Vitamin E, selenium

aids the production of antibodies and helps maintain a healthy heart. It also

aids in the function of the pancreas, provides elasticity to tissues and

helps cells defend themselves against damage from oxidation.

 

The observation that selenium can ameliorate petrochemical sensitivity was

first made by Stephen Levine, Ph.D., founder of Allergy Research Group (ARG)

http://www.allergyresearchgroup.com/ , when he described the reversal of his

own illness by taking a selenium-in-kelp preparation

ARG sells a 0.004% solution of the right kind of selenium for this protocol.

Observations

 

- Petrochemically sensitive patients improve with the use of selenium;

 

- There are three groups of petrochemically sensitive patients:

 

- The majority improve slowly over a two-month period. They may not be aware

of the slow progress until they realize that they can once again tolerate

tobacco smoke and other exposures without devastating results. Their symptoms

are

first decreased in duration and later decreased in magnitude; - -- Another

group experience immediate benefit within the first few days;

- The third group actually react to the selenium in an apparently unfavorable

way. This latter group is most interesting in that they are apparently the

most sensitive, the most debilitated, and the group most in need of the selenium

but are unable to deal with it.

 

Procedure

 

On Day #1: take one drop in the AM and 2 drops in the PM;

 

On Day #2: take 4 drops in the AM and 8 drops in the PM;

 

On Day #3: take 15 drops in the AM and PM.

 

[1/2 of a dropper is about one full squeeze on the dropper bulb, which is

about 15 drops, or 3/4cc. One drop contains about 2mcg of selenium. At full

dose,

one 8oz bottle from ARG should last about 3 months.]

 

This dose should be sufficient, and later becomes the maintenance dose, i.e.,

1/2 dropper full bid (twice a day). For the first two categories mentioned

above, there is no problem. These patients tolerate the 1/2 dropper full bid,

and they continue to improve. Some patients with arthritis become symptom-free

even on low doses. (It is interesting to note that veterinarians have used

selenium for arthritis in dogs for years).

 

With regard to the third, troublesome category, i.e. those patients who are

too sensitive to take even one drop, they should do the following:

- Fill up five glass jars, each one containing about an ounce of water that

the patient customarily tolerates. Take 1/2 dropper full of the above-mentioned

sodium selenium solution and mix it into the first container of water and

stir. Then take the dropper, which has now been washed free of any residue of

selenium and take 1/2 dropper of the first dilution and empty it into the second

glass jar.

 

- Mix this solution. Continue the same process until the original 1/2 dropper

has been diluted out into the fifth container.

 

- Start with the most dilute solution and try a three times a day exposure,

as follows: 2 drops in the morning; 4 drops in the afternoon; 8 drops in the

evening.

 

- If this is still not tolerated, a smaller number of drops and a slower

schedule can be used throughout the day. Very shortly, within 1-3 days, patients

find they tolerate the most dilute solution. When this occurs they simply

repeat this process with the next higher concentration. They keep doing this

until

they work themselves up to the most concentrated solution.

 

- After that try a slow progression of the original 0.004% solution, as

described above for the first two categories of patients. Remember, there is no

rush and there is no “right†dose. Just keep moving along until some

comfortable

dose is reached, as judged by tolerance to selenium as well as tolerance to

petrochemicals.

 

The main thing to remember is that it is a slow process and may take two

months before the ability to tolerate petrochemicals has improved. A good test

is

how well tobacco smoke is tolerated and how well one feels in general.

 

One last tip: some patients who have arthritis even without obvious

petrochemical sensitivity do well on small amounts of selenium. Dr. Levine has

published a number of interesting articles regarding his theories of how

selenium

works as an antioxidant.

 

 

Please note that it is extremely important to obtain an accurate diagnosis

before trying to find a cure. Many diseases and conditions share common

symptoms: if you treat yourself for the wrong illness or a specific symptom of a

complex disease, you may delay legitimate treatment of a serious underlying

problem. In other words, the greatest danger in self-treatment may be

self-diagnosis. If you do not know what you really have, you can not treat it!
