Dr. Joe Schwarcz on the science of selenium

[@tammyicious]

Last year my TSH W/REFLEX TO FT4 Result was 6.32 (abnormal range), today it was 3.48 (normal range). I have had hypothyroidism for awhile, but never took any prescription drugs for it. I started taking selenium last Fall. I wanted to heal it myself. By the way, my doctor never told me to take selenium. I had to become my own doctor. I'm so happy to be in the normal range now.

[@danskdna8550]

Exactly same with me. All hypo symptoms gone. Fast.

[@suzannepurple]

​@@danskdna8550what form of selenium you recommend? What dosage have you been taking? Thx

[@penelopicruze9568]

youre a good doctor because you give the correct dosage amounts that are safe

[@rcarlson2010]

Dr Wallach is the man on selenium ! Youngevity.

Short and to the point. Nice video!

I’ve been eating 2 daily for 3 years. I soak several overnight in the fridge, dry them off and keep them in the fridge for use. this gives them a softer and more pleasant texture. I also keep all nuts in the fridge after opening the bags so that the oils in them don’t get rancid.

[@danhumbleness4721]

Its hard for the body to absorb selenium so sometimes taking supplements is better

[@MixedMartialHelp]

Right on! I keep a jar of brazil nuts on my kitchen counter, I eat 2 a day with my mid day or evening meal.

I’ve read that seafood and meat has selenium, what about DUCK doctor:) great presentation.

[@ellenpollack7310]

Is selenium found in cashews or almonds? If so, how many of these nuts equate to the amount found in ten hazelnuts?

[@dustinmiller2775]

Mad props on the rubber duckie collection, bruh 😎🤙

[@EarthCrust722]

Brazil nuts are acidic which then blocks selenium, the question is how to remove the acidity from the nuts

[@3_1_3rd_gaming]

Soak them in water for 8 hours to remove the phytic acid, you can cut half a lemon and squeeze the juice into the water you're soaking the nuts in to further help remove it.

[@JupiterWisdom1111]

@@3_1_3rd_gaming I soaked mine yesterday for the first time in filtered water, next time I'll use lemon to help remove more of the phytic acid... I have hypothyroidism so brazil nuts are a lifeline.

[@datsuntoyy]

Very slight. No where near the acidity of your stomach.

[@monnoo8221]

other reason why not to take more than 3: accumulation of radioactive radium

[@angel-in-earth]

I'm Doing a science project about it and I'm pretty sure that those information is so helpful thx doctor❤️

brazil nuts are also high in RADIUM and CADIUM , after eating them i felt sick for few days , better choice is fish or liver

I don't know about this. I'm from the south and we ate brazil nuts by the cup full. This was in the 60s and 70s I guess it's a good thing we were too dumb to know we could over dose and go bald. Or maybe God made it so our body could process the nuts the way he interned and all we got was healthy and happy to eat them until we ran out 🤔

[@bobweiram6321]

Brazil nuts are also radioactive.

[@E--Drop]

@@bobweiram6321 Hmm, interesting. IDK but maybe that's why _mica onyx_ could eat so much because the excess selenium was used to fight off the free radicals of the radioactivity.
