Today I want to cover some interesting points about selenium that you may have never heard before.
Selenium is a trace mineral, and it’s involved in thyroid function and helps detox mercury.
Selenium is also a powerful antioxidant. It’s important to support cardiovascular and brain health and may help prevent strokes and cancer.
Brazil nuts are loaded with selenium. One Brazil nut will give you the selenium you need for the day. Taking too much selenium could lead to selenium toxicity.
Selenium is in many other foods, too, so why are so many people deficient in selenium? It has to do with the fact that it’s in a form that plant roots have a difficult time extracting—they need help from microbes. However, there aren’t enough microbes or diversity of microbes in the soil.
A good solution is to start buying foods from farmers who care about their soil and grow things with microbial diversity. It’s also essential to consume fermented foods.
Another overlooked cause of selenium deficiency is a certain genetic mutation related to the proteins or enzymes with selenium. Taking statins may also lead to selenium deficiency.

Rock on!!!
I have fever 5 days ago and became Zinc deficient. Then I know about Selenium in Brazil Nuts. I took 3 Brazil nuts for 2-3 days and I became more deficient in Zinc. I was feeling so sick and started talking 200-300mg of Zinc Acetate per days for 3 days and now feeling better again 🙂. I will switch back to 50mg by tomorrow. And I Selenium fixed my Low testosterone, It’s since 4 years i have low Testosterone. Zinc ans Selenium bringing it to normal 🙂
How did you know you were deficient?
@Natalie Butler You didn’t feel well, Digestive system suffers, Immune system overreacts, Irritable and Especially No Huger 🙂
Enjoy the life 😁
Brazil nuts: These nuts are considered to be one of the best dietary sources of selenium, with a single nut containing more than 100% of the daily recommended intake.
Seafood: Oysters, clams, crab, and lobster are all good sources of selenium.
Eggs: Eggs are a rich source of selenium, particularly the yolk.
Continueing on from this and your lastest videos…I seem to be almost alergic to the sun since the jab…Was interested if you found any additional info as to how your body rejects the D, A and Zinc after being infected by certain Viruses and how to combat this other than taking extra suppliments…Thanks for your work . Oh and by the way my veggies have loved my liquid fertiliser i make and the compost is just the biggest worm fest!!
Naturalnews . Com has published some very helpful and interesting info. Recently a combo for after the jab.
@Julie Ginn Say it louder for the people everywhere. Mike Adams is a blessing to humanity.
The web page Julie mentioned recommended to supplement with silica to detox from what you mentioned. Silica is a beauty mineral and has alot of different benefits.
Sorry to hear you were one of the deceived Sheeple 😢
Spot on.
I’m a farmer, some of us do understand the importance of the soil micro biome and their role in the soil food web…. very similar effect than in the human gut.
Do you happen to know good probiotics?
appreciate our heroines- farmers!
Thanks for watching the video. Hope you learned something new here.
Mycillium the plant internet
I remember Dr Berg saying in a previous video that pecans are rich in selenium too. Thanks for the info Dr Berg 😊
Pecans 3.84 Selenium (µg), Brazil nut 1916.99 Selenium (µg).per 100 gram serving
@jass412 Try finding Brazil nuts. I can’t locate any.
Nope
Yes, just 1-2 all natural Brazil nuts a day. I keep them on my orders & I keep them in my freezer to preserve them & so I won’t overeat them, cause I love them. They remind me of eating a raw fresh piece of coconut, which I also love. ♥️🌴🥥
I can totally relate 😀🕊️💐🕊️
@Janet Baker like Doc stated in his video selenium toxicity is a real thing so look up other foods that you may be eating that have selenium in them as well. Several kinds of fish & seafoods have selenium as well as turkey & lamb. Just keep that in mind cause we’re all different. A certain amount of selenium in one day may be a different needed amount for another person. I’m certainly no expert, I just know what works for me. 💖🌻
That’s nice. Thanks for sharing.
@Dr. Eric Berg DC oh too DOC Mr berg lol.
I OVER EAT THEM
Interesting trivia i learned in the mid 1980s, when I lived in New Mexico. Tobacco grown in Mexico had a very high amount of Selenium, and Mexican smokers had a much lower rate of lung cancers than US smokers smoking US grown tobacco.
Even rhen smoking is injurious to health.
ya, but that’s NOT the way to go about a healthy life style.. SMOKING IS BAD PERIOD!
Of course smoking is hazardous, but you both seem to have missed the point. In the mid 80s Selenium was only thought to have anticancer properties, that trivia was pointed out to me, as evidence that Selenium did have ant8cancer properties because the primary difference between US tobacco and Mexican tobacco was the very high, reletive speaking, amount of Selenium in the dried tobacco in Mexican cigarettes.
That’s good information. Green tea seems to be also somewhat protective in some parts of the world against cancer, but it maybe the cocktail of other chemicals added to US tobacco that makes it so cancerous. Sadly, in the US, we have lost our common sense. We use chlorine, which promotes lung cancer, in our pools, showers, hot tubs and our drinking water. The smell of chlorine is very prominent in fitness centers, People that would never breath in second hand smoke flock to fitness centers and inhale deeply. It’s interesting that although tobacco has been villainized, our population continues to inhale chlorine and associate it with cleanliness instead of cancerous.
Mashaa Allah, may Allah bless upon you, Dr. Berg. Wa Allah, the American Universities need your knowledge and your sincerity to benefit the humanity 💌
In the USA and Canada healing is against the law. The universities only push drugs. They want to keep the population Sick
No brother this way is enough and better .He is getting the best GRATIFICATION and BLESSINGs.
Very informative Dr. Berg. Michigan has one of the lowest rates of selenium in the soil. Therefor many goat and other critters are deficient and end up at the vets office for injections because the forage does not contain enough. Think I need a Brazil nut or two.
Thank you doctor. I’ve learned so much from you.Thank you for breaking down how it works with the thyroid..even a baby can understand. Blessings to you and your to family 😊💓
@DrBerg Be encouraged. I work for a fertilizer company. One of our biggest sellers to our customers is a series of products that are essentially probiotics for the soil. Many of our customers have been using these instead of pre-crop soil sterilizing and it has been high effective. We have even been able to restore fields that have been ruined by overuse of glyphosate or petroleum products. Truly, soil biology is an amazing field that in my mind testifies to the wonder of the Creator.

I would love to know what what your products are and what you recommend. I live in Southern California.
@JadeZ organic farmers have been doing it for decades this is why compost and no chemicals improves soil
the ”creator” is genetic evolution plus the environment. and yes ”god” can play dices with the universe. niels bohr was right, after all… good news. you are now welcomed to 21st century.
Dr Berg – much respect Sir. You have answered a question for me. Now I know why we in the Caribbean have survived for decades and been eating mainly root vegetables. Yam dasheen cassava sweet potatoes.🙏🤪😂

Hashimotos. 5 years ago an endocrinologist wanted to remove my thyroid. They couldnt get the dose of levothyroxyn right and just wanted to be done with it. Came off all my medicine and started taking selenium daily. 5 years later my thyroid,t3 and t4 are all in great range!!! Selenium has been wonderful for me.
Dr. Berg. Love to here your thoughts on Comt gene..and insulin being affected from the cortisol and estrogen increase. Currently taking b12,dim,gaba, selenium.
Hi!
How much selenium have you been supplementing these five years?
Thank you
Huge amazing benefits! Brazil nuts are nutritious and tasty. Thank you so much for your continuous educational content, Dr. Berg 🙏

thanks for watching📺..
AND SUPER EXPENSIVE
@lovly 2cu pecan nuts are more expensive
I had miserable Graves Disease for 16 years. I started taking selenium because I had many mercury tooth fillings. After a year of taking selenium, my Graves Disease was gone. My doctor was surprised. Was it the selenium?
What else do you recommend? I got all mercury fillings taken out. They are literally killing us…people don’t want to believe. I take silica to detox.
Hi Dr Berg! Thank you for all the useful information. Could you please do a more detailed video on how to heal endometriosis? I would really appreciate that.
Hey Dr. Berg! Could you please make a video specifically about the parasympathetic nervous system? How we can activate it, how to benefit from it, and how to heal it?
