Title: Selenium as powerful anti-cancer medicine
Author: Laurence Magne,
Article:
Selenium as powerful anti-cancer medicine From the office of Dr.
Laurence Magne, author of www.cancer-free-for-life.com One of
the most effective naturally occurring weapons against cancer is
the mineral selenium, shown in multiple studies to be an
effective tool against various types of cancer, including
breast, esophageal, stomach, prostate, liver and bladder
cancers. Not many people get the recommended dose of 200
micrograms a day. Research shows selenium, especially when used
in conjunction with vitamin C, vitamin E and beta-carotene,
works to block chemical reactions that create free radicals in
the body, which can damage DNA and cause degenerative change in
cells, leading to cancer. Selenium also helps stop damaged DNA
molecules from reproducing. In other words, selenium acts to
prevent tumors from developing. It contributes towards the death
of cancerous and pre-cancer cells. Their death appears to occur
before they replicate, thus helping stop cancer before it gets
started. In the study of 1,300 older people, the occurrence of
cancer among those who took 200 micrograms of selenium daily for
about seven years was reduced by 42 percent compared to those
given a placebo. Cancer deaths for those taking the selenium
were cut almost in half. While the study concluded the mineral
helped protect against all types of cancer, it had particularly
powerful impacts on prostate, colorectal and lung cancers. To

getting enough of the essential mineral. There are some good
dietary sources of selenium: Mushrooms, egg yolks, seafood,
poultry and kidney, liver and muscle meats contain the mineral.
Vegetables -- garlic, onions, broccoli, asparagus, tomatoes and
others -- as well as whole grains and seeds can also be good
sources of selenium.
However, because the amount of selenium in vegetables and grains
depends on the selenium content in the soil in which they are
grown, it can be hard for average consumers to know how much of
the mineral they are actually getting in their diets. Processing
wheat into white flour strips it of a great deal of its
selenium. One way to get more selenium in your diet might be to
eat more organically grown foods, which some studies have shown
to contain more selenium as well as higher levels of beta
carotene and vitamin E. These two work together with selenium in
cancer prevention. Eating just one shelled Brazil nut -- grown
in the selenium-rich soil of central Brazil -- provides 120
micrograms of the mineral, getting you that much closer to the
daily target of 200 micrograms. Simply adding more selenium-rich
foods, such as organically grown vegetables and fruits to your
diet, along with supplements, can help reduce your risk of
cancer. And another positive side effect of selenium is that it
can actually improve your mood. People who don't eat enough
selenium-rich foods tend to be grumpier than people with a high
dietary intake, according to recent research. Visit
