Selenium
is an essential trace element that is important in proper immune
system functioning and in free radical control. Selenium enhances
the immune system and protects against heart weakness and degeneration.
It is crucial for optimal health and detoxification. Selenium is
required for the production of thyroid hormones. Researchers are
finding that selenium deficiency may be involved in many important
diseases, including HIV. The fact that this mineral has been the
subject of irresponsible promotion as a cure-all must not blind
us to the real possibilities that proper supplementation may have
value in disease prevention and treatment.
When proper selenium balance is achieved, the risk of getting cancer
is half that of a person who is selenium deficient. Selenium is
an integral part of antioxidant enzymes that studies show aid in
cancer and other disease control. Selenium enhances the function
of lymphocytes-white blood cells, which are responsible for the
body's resistance to disease. Selenium binds with many toxic minerals
such as arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury and facilitates their
excretion from the body. By detoxifying per oxidized fats, selenium
inhibits their carcinogenicity (cancer promoting traits). Selenium
also counteracts many of the toxic effects of smoking tobacco. Smoking
depletes the body's selenium supplies. In the liver this mineral
retards the conversion of hydrocarbons into carcinogens — an
important function in our polluted environment.
