Hey guys,

I'm interested in giving Selenium a try. I'm excited about it's ability to get rid of mercury and the fact that some of you have felt energized by it....nervous about the dosage difficulties and the nervous energy (I don't need any help with nervous/anxious feelings, which I get sometimes because of the candida/mercury as it is).

I wanted to comment on the ideas about it possibly being a good sign even if Selenium makes you feel crappy because it might mean that it is doing it's job - getting the mercury out. To me, it seems similiar to the die-off you get when you have candida and take anti-fungals. It's a normal part of the process and does show that it is doing it's job....but at the same time, you have to be a little cautious with it. Because with candida, if you kill off too much at once, you can clog your system with the toxins brought out when the yeast dies (die-off), and then it ends up being counterproductive (and you feel like crap!). I'm assuming that it is the same way with clearing the mercury out of your system - good to do, but maybe best in a slow, steady manner so that your system can handle it. I guess maybe that's why the dosage is so tricky and varies from person to person - maybe it depends on how mercury toxic you are, how your body can handle the cleaning, and how aggressive it is being mobilized so that your system isn't overwhelmed.

Just my rambling thoughts on the matter.....

Cheers,
