I had a question regarding thyroid

nodules okay let’s talk about that that

really is a selenium deficiency

most of the selenium in the body is

stored in the thyroid and most of the

iodine trace mineral is also stored in

the thyroid so the thyroid needs both of

these trace minerals in the right ratios

if you’re deficient in selenium and you

have too much of iodine that could be

very damaging to the thyroid and

vice-versa so you need the balance of

both of these trace minerals one thing

about selenium is that it acts as an

antioxidant okay

the base of that antioxidant is called

glutathione and glutathione helps to

reduce hydrogen peroxide that’s

generated from the different biochemical

reactions that happen in the thyroid now

if you have an autoimmune disease of the

thyroid called Hashimoto’s which by the

way the great majority of hypothyroid

type problems is Hashimoto’s it’s an

autoimmune situation but it generates a

lot of hydrogen peroxide as a byproduct

now when hydrogen peroxide builds up in

the tissues it creates damage to the

thyroid cells themselves and then that

can actually create this fibrosis of the

thyroid and that can be part of the

nodules as well so selenium has the

ability to not just get rid of the free

radical damage and the oxidation that

occurs from autoimmune but it can also

reduce the antibodies that are involved

in this condition

Hashimoto’s selenium also is involved in

converting t4 to t3 so basically

selenium is just as important as iodine

in the thyroid function so the next

question is what type of selenium should

someone take to help this condition you

need an organic selenium and I’m not

talking about the definition of organic

being without pesticide I’m actually

talking about a different definition

involving a different type of bond of

the selenium molecule you have Organic

minerals which are usually plant-based

and bound to a protein and then you have

minerals that are elemental the type of

that I’m gonna recommend for either a

thyroid nodule or Hashimoto’s would be

Celino methionine or Celino cysteine not

both one of the other but you would want

to take one of these if you have nodules

or Hashimoto’s now there’s two of the

things I’m gonna recommend to enhance

your results okay one is vitamin E but

don’t get this synthetic version get a

version that has not just all the took

off roles but all the tocotrienols okay

in a complex and also take cod liver oil

with that you can get it in a little

pearls or actually in a liquid but the

combination is very very very important

because now you’re getting vitamin A

vitamin D vitamin E and selenium and the

perfect combination alright thanks for
