Selén viaže sa na Hg a spôsobí prerozdelenie Hg do telesných tkanív, a mal by pomôcť Hg vylučovať z tela. Anorganický selén (skôr ako ekologický), pretože organickej forme možno vybudovať prebytkom úrovni v tkanivách, zatiaľ čo prebytok anorganického selénu je vylučovaný automaticky. 50 mikro-gramov trikrát denne po dobu denne celkom 150 mikro-gramov. Vit C nebrať do dvoch hodín po seléne, alebo pred selénom.

Selenium and Vitamin E

Selenium is needed to properly produce the enzyme glutathione peroxidase, (GSH-Px), essential to eliminating mercury from the brain. Studies have shown that the normal high level of unsaturated fatty acids in brain tissue can only be protected by GSH-Px. Depletion of this enzyme and resultant damage may be significant in the development of senility. There are various forms of GSH-Px. The main three are selenium dependent and found in the mitochondria (energy producing entities in the cell) of lipid (fat) cells (i.e. the wrappings of nerve fibres), plasma cells and liver cells. Mercury, cadmium and mercury salts all inhibit every GSH-Px that exists. These not only inhibit the reactive sites for selenium to do its job, but also actually change the structure of the enzyme making it ineffective at its function.

Recent research has indicated that the amino acid methionine is needed to make the organic form of selenium..necessary to increase the production GSH-Px and enhance mercury detoxification.

This is particularly evident in the kidney. In workers who are occupationally exposed to mercury, their mean urinary selenium was lowered. By increasing their selenium, through the diet, urinary mercury excretion increased and blood levels of mercury reduced. In the animal kingdom, those chronically exposed to mercury have inherently higher levels of selenium. Unfortunately, we humans are not very efficient at doing this.An interesting study illustrated the effect mercury and low methionine had on the body’s inflammatory processes. Prostaglandin E1 and thromboxane B2 are indicators of the state of inflammation. The first being "anti-inflammatory" and the second being produced when inflammatory processes are active within the body. In cases of mercury exposure with low methionine, the thromboxane B2 was directly elevated. In time, the Prostaglandin E1 increased slightly in response to the higher thromboxane B2. All symptoms to date attributed to the mercury toxicity syndrome are effects of inflammatory processes.

Selenium also assists in reducing the amount of zinc and copper excreted through the urine in the presence of mercury. It has an immune enhancing effect. We know low levels of Selenium in the diet correlates with increases in cancers such as lymphocytic leukemia, breast, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, colonic, genitourinary, skin and Hodgkin’s disease.

The problem with taking standard selenium supplements, is that it doesn't take much to reach toxic levels.

The most current research indicates that Se-methylselenocysteine is the best form both from the advantage of increaseing GSH and the cancer fighting capabilities of selenium with the lowest level of toxicity.

Ortho-Selenium by AOR is the only form of this selenium I am aware of and so I use it solely in my mercury protocols.
