Selenium promotes Antiviral Immunity, reduces Viral Mutation and Viral Replication: Excerpt from DrV's Clinical Protocol

Governments should have addressed the pandemic of selenium deficiency years ago, especially since selenium is proven to provide anti-viral benefits and to reduce viral mutation (proven among millions)

Selenium is…

1. MINERAL: Selenium is a mineral, commonly deficient in the soil, leading to deficiencies in plants, animals and humans.

2. NUTRIENT: Selenium is remarkably safe* and is commonly included in nutritional supplements at 200 micrograms (mcg) per daily dose for adults.

3. EFFECTIVE: Selenium is proven to support and enhance immune function.

4. PROTECTIVE: Selenium functions as an antioxidant by supporting the function of the enzyme glutathione reductase.

5. ANTIMUTAGENIC: Selenium reduces free-radical damage, thereby protecting the human host while also reducing the rate/severity of viral mutations.

6. ANTIVIRAL: The combination of 1) barrier enhancement/maintenance, 2) anti-replicative, 3) immune enhancement, and 4) systemic benefits allows us to consider selenium as a complete 4-component antiviral intervention.

7. AVAILABLE/INEXPENSIVE: Selenium is affordable/inexpensive and widely available.

Governments should have addressed the pandemic of selenium deficiency years ago, especially since selenium is proven to provide anti-viral benefits and to reduce viral mutation (proven among millions).

The two observations that 1) none of the governments and major health organizations are recommending and providing supplementation with vitamin D (60-90% of people are deficient), zinc (30% of the worldwide population is deficient, and selenium (15% of people are deficient) while 2) these same organizations state that alcohol, tobacco, and ultra-processed fake foods such as pastries and junk food are “essential” allows us to reach an obvious conclusion: governments and medical organizations are not educating people to be healthy and empowered and to prevent illness but are actually working to achieve the reverse of this: to keep people ignorant, dependent, weak and ill.
