    Last year my TSH W/REFLEX TO FT4 Result was 6.32 (abnormal range), today it was 3.48 (normal range). I have had hypothyroidism for awhile, but never took any prescription drugs for it. I started taking selenium last Fall. I wanted to heal it myself. By the way, my doctor never told me to take selenium. I had to become my own doctor. I'm so happy to be in the normal range now.

    Actually the highest source of selenium is in Paradise Nuts. They contain enough to send you to paradise.

    I’ve been eating 2 daily for 3 years. I soak several overnight in the fridge, dry them off and keep them in the fridge for use. this gives them a softer and more pleasant texture. I also keep all nuts in the fridge after opening the bags so that the oils in them don’t get rancid.

    I don't know about this. I'm from the south and we ate brazil nuts by the cup full. This was in the 60s and 70s I guess it's a good thing we were too dumb to know we could over dose and go bald. Or maybe God made it so our body could process the nuts the way he interned and all we got was healthy and happy to eat them until we ran out 🤔
