Bill !!! Thought you knew enough about life extension, and about
selenium's way overrated toxicity as well, to realize the last thing
that life extensionists follow is what is written on the supplement
labelling, let alone restrict themselves to such overcautious
dosages when they are fighting a life-threatening disease ?
And that sodium selenite is the way to go when fighting cancer,
not selenomethonine, selenium yeast or even Se-MSC ?
I emphasized that when making one of my first posts in Minni's
thread.
http://www.imminst.o...o...st&p=274089At least 1,000 mcg of selenite should have been the FIRST
on your list. I wish I knew that 12 years ago when advising
the lady from one of our branch officers, who had aggressive
lung adenocarcinoma, to take only a paltry 200 mcg, and
moreover a weakling like selenomethionine at that.
"400 mcg of selenium from all sources" is a maintenance dosage
for someone in good health. You're fighting one of the most
aggressive cancers around - how is, say 100 mcg from your diet
(which is even unlikely given your current state of malnutrition), and
another 300 mcg from supplements even going to fight a kitten ?
Even if toxicity comes in (at least five times that), it's easily
recognizable (hair loss, brittle nails, garlicky breath, metallic
taste in mouth, etc), reversible and of no consequence.
Compared to the heavyweight chemo drugs you have been
on so far, it's like a chimpanzee to King Kong.
http://www.ncbi.nlm....l=pubmed_docsumSodium selenite remains a critical component
of our cancer and leukemia treatment protocols.
The dose is one milligram per day, or five 200
microgram pills over the course of a day. This
dose of selenite is not toxic in humans.
http://72.14.235.132...R...;cd=8&gl=myhttp://linkinghub.el...306987704005791When I contacted Julian Spallholz of Texas Tech University some
time ago enquiring whether 2,000 mcg of selenite was OK to
add to a cancer protocol, he said it was good.
Alternative cancer centers in Mexico routinely give up to
2,000 mcg at least the yeast form to cancer patients.
From Leslie Kenton's book, "Ageless Aging", 1986,
which I still keep on my office shelf :
"Its power against cancer is of particular interest to anyone
about retarding the ageing process, since so many of the
changes on a cellular level associated with the development
of cancer are paralleled in cellular ageing."
" Selenium's role in glutathione peroxidase activity and its ability
to detoxify the body of carcinogens are no doubt in its important
in its ability to protect from cancer and to retard the ageing
process. But so too is the direct action it has on the immune
system - improving immune functions as NO OTHER single
nutrient appears able to do. " (Selenium upregulates NK cells.)
"Most nutritionists err on the side of caution and recommend
200 mcg despite the fact that the Japanese take in much more
than twice that in their daily diet and appear to get nothing but
benefits from it. " (Japanese fishermen, especially those from
Okinawa, take in AT LEAST 500 - 600 mcg daily.)
"Chronic selenium toxicity would be expected in human beings
after LONG TERM consumption of 2,400 to 3,000 mcg daily."
"Most longevists take a MINIMUM of 400 mcg a day and a few
go as high as 2,000 mcg."

Secondly, your "Fighting Cancer" thread is getting quite
long and cluttered.
If I were you, I'd start on the selenite IMMEDIATELY.
