Scientists in Arizona gave a group of men and women selenium supplements and gave another group placebos over a 7-year period. They discovered that the group taking selenium were 42 percent less likely to develop cancer. “Laboratory studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill first suggested that selenium is the switch that triggers a Jekell and Hyde personality in viruses. Subsequent studies at the University of Georgia in Athens indicated that selenium depletion in a cell may be what throws a switch on HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, and launches that particular viral terrorist on a cellular rampage that wipes out its human host.”_*1
