Okay. So we're getting questions on selenium suddenly over the recent weeks. And I don't know if a month or two, and I have been seeing selenium show up more and more and more in the vitamin lists of the patients who come in and SU to my office. And so the question is, should I be taking selenium for Hashimoto's and the answer is again yes and no. I say again, because I say that a lot, the, the answer is again, yes and no. Selenium has been shown to it can be pretty interesting. It can be pretty, pretty helpful. In certain cases, you have to understand if I get a a hundred people to come in here with Hashimoto's, they're all slightly different. They all have slightly different triggers. They also are at different stages of disease where some of may have hardly any damaged their thyroid.

Others are like a 10, like you can't touch your thyroid. It swells, it goes down and everything in between. So that has, and then, and then, and then there are 39 different triggers for Hashimoto's. If you wonder why you're having a hard time figuring things out, these are many of the reasons. Okay. And, and, and so, and so different parts of their system are being affected, who who's who's pancreas has been affected. Who's not, who's got oral tolerance problems who doesn't that type of stuff. So you have to have like an organized way of going about it because you have all that going on in and enter selenium, okay. Into that whole mismatch. And under, I would say, mild to moderate symptoms. I think selenium in and of itself probably gives you some advantage. And it, it, it's been shown to dampen immune inflammation to the thyroid, and it's been shown to be able to correct thyroid stimulating hormone numbers.

And that's, what's interesting about it is it's been a it's it's shown to get high numbers low down and low numbers up. So that's pretty wild and it's pretty cool, but, but, but depending on you, depending on how many triggers you have going, depending on how much inflammation you have, and if you got a lot of inflammation, it's going to take a little bit more than the daily dose of selenium that's on the bottle. And by the way, they put the, the doses that they put on those bottles are low. You know, usually, well, maybe I shouldn't say this, but usually usually the dosing needed for that particular person who has Hashimoto's is higher than what they put on the bottles. However, I don't know what yours would be. Okay. So don't go dosing up because I said that and cause I don't know where, where you would stop based on, I don't have all this information in front of me.
