selenium

hello i dont have selenium deficiency but why do i feel better when i take it?around 1-2 hour after taking a pill i feel better in my head feels like inflamation gets better and not so tired somebody know why?sry my english

For some reason, eating brazil nuts seems to work even better for me than taking a selenium supplement.

I think one brazil nut is like 500% rdi of selenium.
A frequency therapi scan i did showed i was lacking selenium, so i have been eating lots of nuts last 6 months...
Maybe that is true for other Lyme sufferers as well...

Selenium bumps up thyroid t3 hormone. Personally I have never felt it though after eating Brazil nuts. As someone being thyroid deficient I am familiar with what direct T3 supplementation feels like, T4 (the store it for later hormone) on the other hand does not have immediate results. too much T3 is like caffeine- hyper, then it tires you out.

alunke82- how are your thyroid levels? - ?, get it checked, FT3 and FT4.

If someone was low in T3 (immediate use/consumption thyroid hormone) , then took a hit of selenium (LOL), it would then be more likely to feel it.

There was another recent thread (4-8 weeks ago?) commenting on selenium, and Gerora Hunter mention not to "OD" on Brazil nuts. Something like one per day is enough. I eat a lot of low salted mixed nuts and toss out many Brazil nuts for this reason.
