Selenium has never come up one time in my doctors office. This could explain alot.
You can get all the Selenium you need from your diet. Supplement not needed...
Can you do a video about taking NAC (N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine) as a supplement?
alice k I’ll second that motion
Good to know 🙂
@@alice-mk5yy I bet you listen to MedCram.com
@@alice-mk5yy Hi, Alice k, I just finished the video about selenium, but could you please tell me what is this N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine ?🤔😊If you have the time, thank you so much!!
Dr Berry, thanks for sharing all of these topics.
I had a subtotal thyroidectomy at 17 years old due to Grave's disease and you are the first doctor I have heard about this from. I found info about this on the internet myself, but none of my medical doctors ever told me this. I am in my 50s, and have taken synthetic thyroid hormones since my thyroid was removed. I am thankful that I am finally hearing doctors who know and share info about nutrition, and diet. ♥️
I bought a bag and ate a couple dozen in a couple of days. Then I discovered they need to be soaked overnight prior to consuming them. God bless you.
I had same issue total ablation procedure at 49 a year after I got diagnosed with Graves’ disease. So no thyroid gland as well. No Endocrinologist nor my primary care doctor ever spoke about this. I’m 64 at this time and finally a new Endocrinologist I have now just placed me on Selenium. I hope it works as I have not noticed any changes with taking this mineral 🤔. I eat lots of eggs,seafood and beef. I eat occasionally Brazilian nuts. I’m on 200 mcg of selenium daily.
I really value all the wonderful information you put out. Thanks for all your hard work.
I recently learned I had extremely low selenium levels, which have contributed to my fatigue and hair loss. Thank you for your informational videos!
This is very educational , informative as a lot of us aren't able to afford healthcare from specialists. I suffered from a worsening case of swelling of tyrhoids early this year, and had symptoms of what seems like hyperthyroidism ( my family member has it as well and has long passed away). At 40 ,I started taking Selenium 200mcg supplement daily and within 3 weeks, the swelling of tyrhoids in which I have always have ( but worsen early this year) settled itself. Hence now I am just maintaining it taking selenium occasionally , not daily, and I incorporated seaweed, seakelp as part of my diet. Most importantly, do seek professional consultation from trusted healthcare providers if it is affordable or accessible to you, because at the same time, there are dangers of self diagnosis. We can only do what we can , with what we can afford with the knowledge we can find that does not cost a fortune. Thank God for TH-cam. May all be safe and healthy in these challenging times.
Dr. Berry this is valued information. So very helpful and I appreciate.Your making lives so much better.I have recommended others to watch your videos as they are extremely beneficial. Doing all this for others shows what a great doctor you are. Thank you so very much. Kindest regards from north east England.
Dr Berry always give informative and helpful videos. When do regular MDs start giving their patients info like this??
I recently started taking selenium supplements (200mg a day, about 2 weeks ago) and it really helps with my skin. I have an auto inflammatory issue and it reduced it so much already.
Just came out of the hospital. My skin was absolutely horrendous as I was suffering from Graves’ disease . What you reckon ? I got low levels of selenium?
Was is psoriasis?
Funny it seems many i know are full of selenium as it builds up in the body. never herd of this be for. well cherrio to you. i took selenium and had the opposite reaction.for i had to much selenium and stopped it at the first 200mgs. Agood product also.
I just eat one brazil nut each morning. The rest is icing on the cake. Never a problem. Rarely ever sick. Praise be to God.
@Taiwo Omotosho My supplement for selenium is about 100 micrograms (µg) which is more than 100% RDI, for his sake I'd hope he doesn't mean 200mg.
*thanks so much for the information, very helpful*
Thank you I never knew any of this information about selenium 👍🏽
love how i used to come to these videos absolutely clueless but now i can sit here and think ''well i eat all of those!'' :)) (minus the nuts), thank you for what you do!
Thanks doc, I appreciate the info on selenium. 🥰
Thanks, good info!
I truly learn so much more from Dr. Berry’s videos than from my own doctor! Someone mentioned Brazil nuts in the comments; I eat eggs frequently, but not every day so will be adding these nuts for days when I don’t have an appetite for eggs! Love 💕 your channel, Dr. Berry and also appreciate the M. C. Escher prints on your wall. He’s my favorite artist! 😊
Ditto 💖 Dr Berry and M C Escher, totally unique and fabulous in their fields.
Dr. Berry says Brazil nuts have a lot of phytic acid which blocks the selenium. He says to soak them overnight and then roast in the oven to break down the acid.
Eggs are high selenium?
@@cherylann8161 Don't roast them you breakdown the vitamin E when it roasted and spoils all the nutritional benefits.
Thank you for your valuable information:)
Awesome video
Thank you I didn't know about this being needed for a thyroid condition.
I take 200 mcg selenium for hypothyroidism plus synthroid
Eat these 7 items to get Selenium:
1) Brazil Nuts
2) Seafood
3) Pork
4) Beef
5) Turkey
6) Chicken
7) Egg yolk
I was looking for this list 📃 lol 😂 thanks my bruva
Thank you so much
I just found out we are pregnant and I want to eat healthy as possible and continue to prep for work
I take it when I'm sick because my old friend who is a farmer gives it to the goats when they get sick and it helps them. 😄
This cheered me up this morning, a giggle to the start of the day.😂
Me too lololo
I saw the amazing benefits my dog had after I started giving him the golden paste. I knew it was great for humans too...so I started taking it. Helped me SO much. Many things benefit both man and beast! 😄❤
It's in the Solaray Bio E Gamma Plex. I've been thinking about adding a very little to my mineral water formulas I've been working on. That and iodine and zinc I'm back and forth on. Thinking next will be the powdered eggs shells and ascorbic acid to make a more buffered vitamin C and safer calcium, carbonate and little phosphate source. Still debating using the ascorbic acid first.
That’s how our ancestors in Africa figured out food to eat. If animals eat it, it’s good for mankind 🙂👌🏾😎
Great information
Thank you, glad to hear seafood has it. I live in an area that is selenium deficient and I raise a good portion of my own food or source it locally. I raise dairy goats and have to inject them with selenium twice a year to prevent miscarriages, retained placentas and offspring with white muscle disease. Minerals bought from feed stores have very limited amounts by law. It recently occurred to me that I had symptoms of deficiency myself since I am sourcing my food locally so started taking a supplement but getting my dose through food is preferable. So folks who live in areas like I do and source their meat locally, might consider that there is inadequate selenium in that meat. Also to be considered is if you live in an area with selenium in the soil, you may not need to add any to your diet.
Do one on adrenal fatigue please
I'm sure i have this. I cannot relax easily it's extremely hard to relax.
Gaia company has some good adrenal products. I took nighttime adrenal and enjoyed the effects. I really believe it helped lower my high cortisol during that period. Now I occasionally use Asgwagandha.
Thanks Dr. B! I started a selenium supplement a couple of years ago because I have Hashimoto's and couldn't commit to daily Brazil nuts. Now doing the math on what I eat every day as a ketovore, I realize I'm very likely getting WAY more than the RDA just from food. Here you are saving me money on on supplements again. :)
Such great info thank
Interesting video, thank you. Here in the UK we have a tendency to be selenium deficient apparently as our soils were depleted of selenium due to the actions of glaciers during the last ice age.
Same thing around the world. Food isn’t what is use to be .. As for Organic most of it is not much better, unless you get it from a farmer that feeds his soil. And not spray it with all the Chemicals 💩.
Have been keto 80% carnivore for there years. I have hyperyhorisum. Dr never told me any of this. He just keep pushing statins which I will not take. I learn something new almost everyday from doctor B. Thank you🙂
Thyroid issues increase LDL.
Instead of treating with statins, doctor should properly test and treat the thyroid disease.
I switched doctor just yesterday and complain about forgetfulness, and he firmly pushed away my statin and told me to NEVER take it again ..while my old doc keep telling me to take it and dismissing my complain !!
Dr Berrys wife has hashimoto syndrome. Hers is in remission
Statins for hyperthyroidism seems backwards to me because the thyroid gland is dependent upon cholesterol production, as are the kidneys and brain.
I guess I am not surprised.
I'm sure there's a logical reason why interrupting the cholesterol levels changes thyroid levels.
Like it's lowering overactive thyroid levels by starving the thyroid of cholesterol.
Prolonged use of statins has been connected with Alzheimer's because it's starving your brain. The brain needs cholesterol to replenish brain cells.
But totally makes sense that they are disrupting the thyroid with statins.
Very interesting.
Thank you Dr. Berry.
I'd love to see an informative video on Lupus SLE and the best nutrition and supplements for SLE.
Thank you Dr Berry.
Thank you very much for sharing this info!!
+1
Thank you Dr. Berry for all these health informations you are giving to me freely, I started the keto dieting only over a month ago after my blood pressure and blood sugar was high... My blood sugar and pressure are on the normal range now. My family think I'm loosing it because of the amount of fat intake I am on a daily basis, especially the animal fat and butter. I can say I am healthier than before. Low carbs is the way.
Congratulations. I am also a very surprised and delighted Berry suggests story!!
Hey dolly
Can u please share your daily diet chart please
TIA
@@chaitanyak8036 my diet is more of beef, eggs and pork... coffee tea with a little heavy cream and monk fruit sweetener. Sometimes I will add some cucumbers, cabbage or broccoli with the meats... I would make some almond flour bread sometimes and eat it with lots of butter or ground beef sausages, homemade. Most of my meals are homemade. I cook with beef tallow, coconut oil and butter. That's basically it. I eat simple and have 2 meals a day.
What about breakfast?
2 meals only? Someone told me have 4 light meals if u suffer from hypothyroid , never fast, so 3 or 4 meals necessary
@@chaitanyak8036 just some coffee with butter or heavy cream, I eat when I'm hungry.
I was diagnosed with thyroid problems and had part of my thyroid removed. NOTHING was advised by my care giver concerning selenium. Thank you for info
Wow, this is like the 3rd time you've mentioned and talk about something that's going on with me at that time lol. I just started TODAY taking celenium. I have Hoshimoto issues from a hyperactive thyroid that gave me a goiter and I had to have it removed, and I was having some bad symptoms then bam! Lol you did a video on it the next day. Also, I was wondering how to deal with inflammation and I was hurting really bad, then you recommended a Epson salt bath. Low and behold, I started feeling better. You know your stuff, and you are appreciated 🧡
Have u checked your folate and b12
⬅️ Great information as always so thank you. You’re a great inspiration for our own channel too 💕
Another winner 💃👏😁
Thank you! :)
always enjoy and learn
Thank you.. Getting it from seafoods and egg yolks
Selenium has overcome my chronic fatigue. I can take it when I get bogged down during the day and the unnatural fatigue goes away.
Hmmm 🤔 that seems to be the opposite for me causes harsh toxicity for me
How do you get selenium? And if it’s a pill what brand?
Pls explain... Availanle in amazone? Which brand
Thanks, Dr Berry! Have you even addressed or thought of addressing the subject of Leptin Deficiency? Or how it's reduction is tied to Metabolic Syndrome? It's sort of a running joke that I do not have an "Off Switch" when it comes to food... I might joke with others, but it is seriously distressing at times.
Perhaps you have other viewers who have a "Broken" off switch who could benefit from a little knowledge as to what might cause it and whether it is reversible...
Yes please. I am always hungry. I only stay full if I eat a large amount of fatty beef. I am tired of eating till full and being hungry 2 hrs laterm even no carb carvovire meals.
Wow just started this capsule 10 days ago and is helping me with my mood. Thanks Dr. Berry❤️
What strength do you take?
@@adoreekimora
I take just one a day, 50 mg
I like capsules only
Sisu plus is the one i buy
He was saying up to 50 to 100 mcg per day.
IldiIko Parker, I can't find sisu plus selenium. Do you have it delivered, Ildiko Parker?
@@ildikoparker9566 50mg is tooooo much, u should tak mcg not mg
Thank you so much
Thanks Dr. Berry. Can you give any suggestions on how to gain weight for a hard gainer? thanks
Yeah, good stuff as always! My takeaway (trial ad property lawyer - sorry 'bout that) is that take the Selenium rich foods and avoid the supplements. What do I do? a couple of brazil nuts a day and hope for the best!
Thank you Dr Ken Berry. When (or if) the plague is over: come to New Zealand and I will treat you to the finest and tastiest produce you have ever had.
Excellent advice. Just had Beef Lasagne with Ham faux pasta. We're good for today then. Lol. 🤗 Thank you muchly for sharing this very important information with us all. Take care & stay safe too everybody. 😷❤🙂🐶
Could you share with me how you make your lasagna please. What all is in it. Thank you
@@ladytrae Sure. I use the recipe from 'Gayle McLeod' on TH-cam, it's about 3 years old, just type on her TH-cam 'Low carb Lasagne with Ham slices.' If you haven't got Ham slices you can use Edam slices instead. Hope that helps. Stay safe ladytrae. 😷❤🙂🐶
Thanks, Dr. Berry! I like knowing the quantity of nutrients required per day for optimum health.
Ken we have that similar juice running around inside us, Norwegian, scots,welsh,Irish, will you be talking about dyputrons, and the associated pain that goes with those. I’m at my wits end with the cramps and tendons righting up, it’s effecting my working with my hands. Geoff New Zealand.
thanks!
Thanks!
What about ingesting green clay. Rich in many minerals and treat and cure. Many good books about that subject. I’m glad the studies continue about it. I prove it to myself. I hope Dr Berry a day you will talk about it too. Thank you.
Excelente. Gratidão
Excellent video Dr. Berry! I’ve been taking Selenium supplements two months ago, can I tajen them every other month so I don’t get the syndrome of overtaking it?
Hi Mercedes... I’m not sure what you eat but I just figured 3 eggs and 3 oz bacon already puts it at 93 mcg. I’m carnivore so I’m taking in much higher amounts just by the foods I eat. Depending on what you eat, you may want to skip the supplements all together. All the best... P
So seafood, beef, pork and poultry.... sounds like I'm covered! Thanks doc! :-)
From what I can gather, Selenium and Iodine together seem to be a powerhouse against almost everything negative about our health. It's never talked about in the mainstream either, which strengthens my beliefs further. Being on the carnivore diet I think I get enough selenium, but I've recently bought some iodine to go along with it. Could be a game-changer.
Thank you
Thank you Dr. Ken. Are there any implications of gastric bypass patients needing to supplement more than non-bypass patients because of malabsortion due to bypassing most of the small intestine?
How about the phytic acid in brazil nuts? Won't that negate it? Perhaps soak them first?
You're great
Could you make a video addressing Chromium on blood sugar levels Please! I keep getting conflicting advise on chromium
thank u sir
Foods are :
1 - Brazilian nuts
2 - any seafood
3- pork
4 - Turkey
5 - chicken
6 - beef
7 - egg yolks

Thanks.
❤Thank You!!!!
Yes we know , take it with this n that. Puleez do a vid on sulphur pills and arthritis cures, and charcoal pills to rid person of sulphur headaches
some doctors have suggested regarding brazil nuts should be soaked before eating, is this necessary ? what would be the pro and cons or doing so ? thank you
Selenium is also good for BPA detox...I mean...you shouldn't really take in anything with BPA anyway, but that's a plus. I just have to accept the bpa from tinned sardines, other than that, I avoid any other source of bpa.
For the Brazil Nuts, does it matter if it’s “organic”? I found one on Amazon.
Thanks
There's a paper that says that overdosing on iodine harms your immune system but the effect could be offset by taking in some selenium
Please talk about mercury toxicity and how selenium allieviates this due to Se molecule attaching to Hg.
The info is useful, thank you, but using mcg and non-metric measures together is confusing. Serving is also a not so clear measure.
Would like to hear your take on stearic acid, sources of it, and it’s role in weight loss and it’s role in mitochondrial fusion.
You said to toast the soaked Brazil nuts in the oven. I don't have one. Will doing it in a frying pan suffice? Or will a microwave oven do the job?
Is it better to get selenium through the diet versus a supplement? Is the selenium in supplements not the exact same as the selenium in food?
KennyDBerryMD
LOVE your much needed info. Really appreciated
💙🤗👍👍Thank you.
My thyroid was removed in 1995 and have suffered from sluggishness and weight gain. Will taking a selenium supplement help me in any way? I eat all meats and eggs. Thanx for all you videos and information. It is truly appreciated!!
Hi, I’m hypothyroid. I take synthroid every day. I hope you’re on it as well since you have no thyroid. I’m just guessing because I have no thyroid. Hope this helps Get well😃
I watched one video that said Brazil nuts are not a good source because they also have (phytic acid?) which blocks the absorption of the selenium. I have been eating one or two Brazil nuts a day for a long time- I was just wondering if I need to do something different.
hi , i have been taking selenium supplement 200 mcg every day , i do not have any side affect , should i stop it for awhile like one month period then i resume taking the supplement ? how about taking selenium for three months then stop for one month then resume the circle again ?
Is there a way I can fix this? EKG said RSR in V1/V2 consistent with right ventricular conduction delay. What should I do? please if you could give me anything it would help
Liam is it good for lot of time Good for your liver or get out
Hi to my best doctor does vitamin k1 makes your blood thicker

I lives in Georgia. Hw can I get an appointment with u to make a meal plan for my body type?
So as a carnivore I'm getting that amount easily💪👍
Seems like it.
Arizona has very little selenium in the soil. We eat brazil nuts every day.
Did you leave out Brazil nuts?
Good source.
Isn't the selenium content of a good dependent on the soil content it's grown in?
Dr Ken. I'm low carb and age 62. Very healthy and healthy weight. I am very active, work a full time job work outside in my yard. I am used to lots of activity. I have noticed a lot of stiffness in my muscles. Do I just say I'm old and it is natural to have muscle stiffness and walk like an old person Or could it be .Ca. Mg, k, ?? What can I do to help with muscle stiffness??
Addendum. I just ordered the electrolyte drops you have in your list. I will also get more omega 3 in my diet. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Now to go work on that house my husband and I are building. Lol.
Vitamin D3 has eliminated all my inflammation. All of it.
For the Brazil nuts, do the skins contain letting/phytates? I have been peeling mine.
Peel the dark skin off, I eat one or two a day….I buy the ones with the skin peeled off and organic
Doc. What about hyperthyroidism?
I eat pork sausage + 1 egg or beef or chicken everyday . So I suppose I am doing good in this food source. Thanks.
So on a daily basis, how much Selenium is required in your food source intake??
What minerals and vitamins need to be added to water daily. I added magnesium to my medication regimen. I already take KCL with diuretic therapy. Are these purchased in brick and mortar stores or on line? Thanks for your videos and for letting us see Beckett.

The body needs 90 essential minerals. Our soil is depleted from then. I get liquid minerals and vitamins, Youngevity products. 😎
Twenty years ago I went stone-cold-vegan to get rid of Gout and get off of Alopurinol. It worked. Over the next 5 years, I lost almost 50 pounds without even trying. At age 75 I am fit-as-a-fiddle, hit the gym 5 days a week, take no meds save for 10mg Atorvastatin. I take Turmeric every day, that's all. How can a vegan insure he gets enough Selenium ? PS - Love your videos ! Thank God for Doctors like you.

Relisten to the video.....there's a multitude of nuts you can eat.
How much of turmeric do you take? Is it fresh turmeric ?
If you don't mind, what age your Menstruation stopped?
Looks like Brazil nuts which are high in oxalates
Doc, what about liver? You'd mentioned in your previous video that liver was an excellent source of selenium.
Was wondering about lamb as well…
What's the overdose systems?
Don’t mean to message out of context but I hav a question Dr.Berry. Eating keto work great for over a year for me and I lost approximately 100 pounds. Then I just stopped loosing. I tightened my control and have now even went to every other day fasting. I loose a couple of pounds on fasting days but gain it back on eating days. I am completely at a loss. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Ps my stall has been going on for almost 2 months and I do show to be in ketosis and by blood sugars are ranging from 80 to 105.
Try eating less per day.
As the body uses glutathione to neutralize superoxide buildup from covid19, can selenium reserves be depleted and manifest hypothyroid symptoms?
Thanks, Dr. Berry! By the way, three Brazil nuts a week cover one's selenium requirements. One can take 12 of them in one shot to cover a month's requirement.
From my calculations... 1 Brazil nut has 22.5 mcg of Selenium... if that’s your only source, it isn’t even enough for one day.
🤔
@@peggyarenz4624 Thanks and sorry! I made a mistake. I meant 3 brazil nuts a week.
@@PinkAmadeus same thing you said in your first comment...3 a week. I don't think that's enough, Dr. Berry says 2 a day and they should be soaked overnight and then roasted in the oven to remove the phytates.
Do pigs cows really have 33 selenium what if the food and vegetation is depleted?
I eat beef , pork and Brazil nuts
