Selenuim is a toxic mercury like metal and should be used with care.
However, it plays a big role in virtually all trace minerals regulation
and it's very important to have 'enough'.
Have Selenium levels checked by the Doc.
Some foods may supply Selenium.
Good sources of selenium in your diet, include: wheat germ, seafood and
shellfish, beef liver and kidney, eggs, sunflower and sesame seeds, brazil
nuts, mushrooms, garlic, onions, and kelp.

CONCLUSIONS: Vitamin E and selenium function synergistically in the
myocardium to provide important antioxidant defenses in iron-overload
states, including increased concentrations of selenium, increased
glutathione peroxidase activity and decreased concentrations of iron.

I have never posted before...hope I am doing it right..
My son has been diagnosed with variegate porphyria with 'iron overload'.
He is experiencing extreme stomach pain; the skin on his hands is easily
broken, bleed and scar and now blistering. There does not seem to be much
information on this conditon, related symptoms or successful treatment.
His doctor has offered little information.....more testing.
Is there any one on this group familiar with this 'condition' that could help.
Thanks,
Trudy
