Selenium: An Essential Mineral

Let’s talk about the amazing power and properties of Selenium. The two internationally recognized names who have pioneered the research, court cases, articles, and teachings are Dr. Gerhard Schrauzer and Dr. Joel Wallach.  Essential means the body does not make on it’s own, and it must be obtained by food or supplementation in a form the body can readily absorb and assimilate.  Dr. Gerhard Schauzer is renowned as the the worlds leading expert on the trace mineral selenium. He has been the Head of the Chemistry Department at the University of California, San Diego, and is an official nominator for the Nobel Prize in Medicine. As the Head of Youngevity’s Scientific Advisory Board. Dr. Schauzer also served as the the lead scientist in the health petition with the FDA on the effects of selenium with cancer. These two icons have developed an amazing product with all the co factors that make it bio available to the body’s system very quickly.

 Selenium & Cancer…

Over the last few decades, several randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials have shown that a daily dose of just 200 mcg of selenium can reduce breast cancer risk by 82%…reduce colon and rectal cancer risk by 69%…reduce prostate cancer risk by 54%…and reduce lung cancer risk by 39%

  • The best research on breast cancer was published in 1982 by Gerhard Schrauser, M.D.
  • The research on prostate, colorectal, and lung cancer was conducted by Larry Clark, M.D. and published in the Journal of The American Medical Association. This study used the gold standard of research methodology and took place over 7 years. It compared the effects of patients given 200 mcg of selenomethionine (a type of selenium) with placebo.

 

DR. PETER GLIDDEN, N.D., HAS SPECULATED PUBLICLY ABOUT WHY THESE ASTONISHING FINDINGS ABOUT SELENIUM BENEFITS AND CANCER PROTECTION ARE NOT BEING BROUGHT TO THE PUBLIC, DESPITE THE SUPPOSED “WAR ON CANCER.”

“THE RESULTS WERE EARTH SHATTERING,” SAYS DR. GLIDDEN, “BUT BECAUSE THEY INVOLVED THE USE OF A MINERAL SUPPLEMENT, AND NOT A PRESCRIPTION DRUG, THEY WERE OVERLOOKED. IMAGINE THE MEDIA FRENZY THAT A CANCER DRUG THAT REDUCED THE OCCURRENCE OF BREAST CANCER BY 82% WOULD RECEIVE! YOUR DOCTOR SHOULD HAVE CALLED YOU UP IMMEDIATELY AND PASSED ON THIS NEWS TO YOU, BUT THIS IS PROBABLY THE FIRST TIME THAT YOU HAVE HEARD IT.”
