Why the heck didn't anyone tell me about this stuff before?
I searched for "selenium" and "anxiety" in a search engine and started reading various articals that popped up.
They did a study with 100 people with anxiety. This test may not be 100% valid, since half were given selenium, and the other half given a sugar pill, and sugar has an anxiety affect on people. So when those who didn't get the selenium had anxiety, it may have been because of the sugar.
Anyway, many studies which weren't done by idiots, have concluded that selenium helps autism, anxiety, etc.
Did you know the symptons of mercury poisoning and autism are the same? Did you know that people autism, anxiety, or other problems have a shortage of selenium in their bodies?
If you have mercury in your body, the selenium bonds with it first, keeping it from causing any harm. But, then you might not have enough selenium for your brain to function normally, causing all sorts of problems.
Is it the mercury that damages people, or the lack of selenium it causes?
Anyway, if anyone with anxiety has taken selenium, tell me how it worked for you, and what brands you used.

Summary Comparison of Characteristics of Autism & Mercury PoisoningI'm not autistic, but I believe this proves mercury has an effect on our minds.
They claim the mercury seeping from your fillings each day isn't enough to harm you. But electromagnetic fields do cause it to leak out more. Computer monitors, televisions, etc. all have an electromagnetic field. Those of you with mercury fillings that live near high voltage power lines, are certainly having problems.
Anyway, selenium helps autism, anxiety, depression, brain fog, and those who simply can not get excited about anything some days.
The amount of selenium in soil varies in differant areas. In many places these days they don't rotate their crops. They just grow the same thing, using chemical fertilizers, and this depletes the soil of any nutrients. Not even worms can live in this soil. So, obviously, people used to get selenium from what they ate, but that is no longer the case these days. So don't just think you can get it by eating certain foods, since that may no longer work.
I'm rambling a bit. Oh, don't take too much selenium at once they say. I saw some at Sam's Wholesale Club before, so I'll pick up some there next time I go.
