The thing is Neville, that *most* if not *all* substances/vitamins/minerals
whatever; will be toxic if in too large doses. Or even if they are
unbalanced this can cause major problems. I have come to the conclusion now
that all the many hundreds of pounds I have spent on supplements was money
wasted because of this fact. One example was that research has been done
recently on Vit D and the health pages have exhorted us to supplement with
this in order to avoid cancer etc., I now find out that it is only the
VitD3 form that is good as the other type (D2) which I bought, can actually
act as an immunosuppressant! Yet it is still sold, as are many of the
inappropriate forms of vits and minerals still on the market. I have
decided that the only vit I will supplement with is Vit C. Dee

Thanks for that Teri and Steve, I'll answer you both in one email if you don
t mind.
I'll read through both of these more and do some more searching of the
ingredients' to see what I come up with as this information could be quite
helpful.
There are predominantly 2 forms of selenium apparently, organic and
inorganic, and also selenium is stated as being a 'relative' of sulpher.
With this information, combined with your and Teri's, and information I
haven't discovered yet I am trying to build a picture of what selenium is,
what it does (exactly), and what other ingredients are included which
constitutes the supplemental form. I found that apparently it's toxic if
taken in excess and some articles accuse it of causing a form of diabeties,
I think it was type 2, it doesn't matter what type anyway the accusation is
the main point, and I believe it's used for chelation also, (this, I want to
research more).
