Selenium and HIV explained
Today, everybody knows that the HIV virus causes HIV disease and AIDS, but most people don’t understand exactly how HIV causes AIDS.
However, scientists have now discovered how the HIV virus causes the body to lose CD4 blood cells that leads to the decline of the immune system.
What happens is that as the HIV virus increases in the body, it uses up the body’s store of organic selenium. Organically-bound selenium is as essential to the working of the immune system as oil is essential for a car engine. If you drain the oil from a car engine, that engine won’t work properly. If the HIV virus drains the selenium from your immune system, your immune system won’t work properly. That is exactly what happens with AIDS. The virus drains the organic selenium from your immune system.
As the HIV virus increases in the body, it uses up the selenium that the immune system needs to function. As the virus increases, the selenium decreases, and as the selenium decreases, the CD4 count goes down with it. Why is that?
Well, millions of CD4 blood cells are created each day in the body and millions also die every day. It is a delicate balance. Organic selenium affects both the creation of new CD4 cells and the destruction of older CD4 cells. When the body is low in selenium, fewer CD4 cells are born and more CD4 cells die. Thus the HIV virus causes the decline in CD4 cells by lowering the level of selenium in the body.
HIV disease should not be viewed as just a viral disease. It is a viral disease that causes a nutritional deficiency. That nutritional deficiency causes the immune deficiency we call AIDS. When the nutritional deficiency of selenium is reversed, the immune deficiency is also reversed.
But this can’t be done by improving the diet alone. The large amount of selenium drained by the virus can’t be fully replaced by eating foods high in selenium. However selenium nutritional supplement tablets can easily replace that amount of selenium.
Leading healthcare advisors know that the safest and most effective way to take selenium is in the organically-bound form (selenoproteins – including selenomethionine and selenocysteine) which are well-absorbed and identical to those found in the natural food-chain.
Selenox selenium is the only product with these ingredients.
Selenox selenium is the only product that contains at least 25 selenoproteins, including Selenocysteine, selenomethionine and selenocystine.
Selenox selenium supplement tablets are very safe. They have no side effects since selenium, like water, is already in every cell of our body.
Selenox selenium is completely safe to use in combination with all other drugs, including ARVs and drugs for malaria, TB and other opportunistic infections.
Selenox selenium is also beneficial for overall health.
So remember, ARVs are good for fighting the virus that causes the disease. They can increase CD4 count by reducing the viral load. Selenox selenium supplement tablets can reverse the nutritional deficiency the virus causes. They can also help increase the CD4 blood cell count, helping return a person to health.
There is still no absolute cure for HIV disease, but taking Selenox selenium supplement tablets in addition to ARVs is better than just taking ARVs alone.
Selenox selenium is also good as an early therapy to slow down the progress of HIV to AIDS.
If you don’t need ARVs yet or can’t get them, Selenox selenium alone is still useful.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.
How does selenium work against HIV disease?
Selenium, and especially organically-bound selenium as in Selenox, works against HIV disease by four different mechanisms.
First, selenium acts as a potent reverse transcriptase inhibitor, working the same way AZT does against HIV.
Second, selenium has been shown to inhibit nuclear factor-kappa binding (NF-kB), the primary stimulant to HIV replication in the nucleus of CD4 cells. By inhibiting this critical HIV stimulant, selenium inhibits HIV replication.
Third, both HIV viruses and CD4 cells contain selenoproteins. In AIDS, as billions of HIV viruses are produced each day, it depletes the body’s supply of selenium. This results in both selenium deficiency and CD4 depletion since it deprives CD4 cells of the selenium they need to regenerate. As selenium levels decline, CD4 counts fall at almost the same ratio. A sufficient supply of selenium is required for all immune function. Selenium depletion results in immune system collapse and may be the immediate cause of AIDS immune deficiency. Selenium supplementation results in immune restoration and increases in CD4 count. Supplementation is required because selenium in the diet cannot make up the deficit caused by HIV.
Finally, selenium plays a central role in the body’s anti-oxidant system. An analysis of all the studies conducted on the effects of vitamins ans minerals on HIV disease showed that selenium is the only micronutrient whose deficiency significantly correlates with mortality.
What is selenium? Why is it essential?
Selenium is a mineral found in the soil and in many foods. Nutritionists refer to selenium as an essential trace element, essential for the proper functioning of the immune system. Selenium is required to prevent muscular degeneration and it plays an important role in cancer prevention.
Is selenium deficiency really an issue in HIV disease?
Yes. Organic selenium deficiency may lead to increased HIV replication, a loss of CD4 cell count, muscular and cardiac weakness and may also contribute to the development of some types of cancer.
What is the proper dose of selenium for effective HIV treatment?
Generally, organic selenium supplementation should be in the range of 200-400 micrograms (mcg) per day, but may be as high as 600 mcg in advanced cases of AIDS. Organically-bound selenium can be taken with other HIV medication.
What is Spirulina?
Spirulina is a fresh-water algae that has been described as the “food of the future” and a whole food dietary supplement, because it contains at least 60% complete protein with all essential amino acids in perfect balance. High in nutrition, Spirulina is rich in vitamins and minerals. Other nutrients include carotenoids, fatty acids and phytonutrients.
What is the best way to take selenium for safe and effective treatment of HIV?
Selenium seems to be most effective when combined with certain minerals, vitamins and amino acids. Research has identified that in the fight against HIV, the most useful additives include Vitamins A, B Complex and E, carotenoids, the minerals zinc, copper and manganese, and the amino acids cysteine, glutamine and tryptophan.
All these additives are present in Spirulina.
The safest and most effective treatment for HIV is therefore:
SELENOX SELENIUM together with SPIRULINA.
This combination is available as a crushable tablet called SELINA.
What is the proper dose of SELINA for safe and effective treatment of HIV?
The proper dose of SELINA supplementation in HIV disease depends on how advanced the disease is. The further the disease has progressed, the greater the requirement for supplementation.
SELINA tablets contain 200mcg of SELENOX selenium plus 1000 milligrams of Spirulina. It is therefore quite safe, in advanced cases of AIDS, to give up to three tablets daily.
Recommended Adult dosage:
Extreme cases: 3 tablets daily for 20 days, then
2 tablets daily for 15 days.
Maintenance: 1 tablet daily.
