> Thanks LarryYou're welcome.
> I've been dealing with some issues (legal) against my employer so I haven't had much spare time to post here at PB. I'm not doing too bad though considering all the dirty tricks my employer has been playing against me.....basically a depressed employee is seen by (the new) management as a broken machine that should be tossed onto the garbage heap and replaced with a new one. I obviously disagree therefore the legal battles.
As if depression wasn't enough of a burden, you still come across Neanderthals in suits.....
I hope you teach them a lesson in human rights. Go, dude.
> Thanks for that article. I've also bookmarked the site itself for future reference.It's an excellent site (nutrition.org), but the search feature is quirky as hell, and the most recent publications require fee-payment. Still, full-text articles are always welcome.....
>I think the local soil where I live is pretty well selenium deficient. Maybe the warning labels on the bottles are due to a case of toxicity from a selenium rich area here in Aussie land and as the legislation relating to vitamin supplements is passed by the federal government (as opposed to individual state governments) they have simply passed the law to cover the whole country not taking into account soil differences in a country as large as Australia (pretty similar in size to both the USA and Canada.
The problem is that the medical minds creating the legislation are conservative, no make that Conservative, no, CONSERVATIVE.
Too much selenium is toxic, no question. But too little is probably more dangerous yet.

> bluedogDoing well, thanks. My sleep problems have largely abated (finally), following withdrawal from Remeron (mirtazapine).
Anyway, glad to hear you're still kicking butt.
