It seems selenium is chronically missing, for some reason. It could be diet, or, perhaps, the body is excessively expelling it.
Get on eatin’ your Brazil nuts!
If your family has Huntington’s disease, the best way to stop it... Don’t reproduce.
Since Brazil nuts can vary in the amount of selenium they have, I just take a 200mcg selenium supplement daily. It has helped lower my inflammation and anti-thyroid antibodies.
Eat more mushrooms...
All the major nutrients need a lot more study. While researching cancer last year (3 loved ones afflicted), I read a study of 9 major cancers. Two, liver and prostate, were of special interest to me. The study found the cancer tissues in all 9 cancers were deficient in ZNIC, even when surrounding healthy tissues were sufficient or even overflowing with ZINC. One corageous researcher even suggested having cancer patients take an ionophore (name unknown to me) along with Zinc to fight their cancers.
I immediately added Quercitin and Zinc to the daily supplements of my prostate and liver cancer suffering loved ones. I then read another paper saying Astaxanthin, which I had been using successfuly to improve my cataracts, had cancer uses. It appears Astaxanthin causes more speady natural death of cancer cells (apoptosis) while helping normal tissue cells have a longer life. I immediately added Astaxanthin to the supplements my cancer patients were taking. Both were doing well toward healing until the one with liver metastesis had his 4th Covid shot. His cancer lessions immediately started growing again (they had been shrinking) and his oncologist put him on a much stronger, more unpleasant schemotherapy. He had run out of several of the supplements I had sent him, and then my supplement supplier had trouble shipping an order I made on Sept. 26th. I was told today they shipped it today. Grrrrr. So we now await his most recent body scan to see how he is doing. Meanwhile he finally bought some supplements he needed at CVS, and tomorrow I will order the more unusual ones sent to him from my supplier. The fight continues.
