Recommended Doses of Selenium for Ebola and HIV

 Recommended Dosages of Selenium for

Prophylaxis and Treatment of Ebola Virus Disease and HIV


Verified Ebola infected patient:

           first day 2400 mcg (12 tablets) 5 tabs – 4 tabs – 3 tabs.

            next 8-12 days: 1600-2000 mcg (8-10 tablets) daily until two days after all symptoms stop.

Suspected Ebola patient:

                        1200mcg (6 tablets x 200mcg Se) per day. 4 tabs – 1 tab -1 tab.

If diagnosis is confirmed, then switch to above regimen.

If not Ebola infected: continue 3 tablets a day for five days.

Health care workers in ETUs, ambulance drivers and burial teams:

3-4  tablets daily based on weight and intensity of contact.

Police, checkpoint temperature monitors and emergency service workers:

1-3  tablets daily depending on weight and intensity of contact.

          Household with an Ebola patient:

                        Provide 1 bottle (100 tablets) per infected patient

                        Provide 1 bottle (100 tablets) for household prevention/prophylaxis.

                                    Direct Caretakers: 5 tablets daily.

                                    Other household members 2-3 tablets daily depending on weight:

                                    Infants – 1/2 -1(crushed) children 1-2. Teen 2, adults 2-3

General Public: If sick for any reason: 2-3 tablets per day depending on weight and severity.                                      If not sick: 1-2 tablets depending on weight.

Lassa Fever:  5-8 tablets daily depending on weight and intensity of fever.

HIV Infection:  above 400 CD4 count: 1 tablet daily

100 – 400 CD4 count:  2 tablets daily

below 100 CD4 count: 3 tablets daily

intensive care:           4-6 tablets daily

The preferred, proven form of selenium in Ebola is sodium selenite since it is fast acting and full strength. Selenium is very safe at all these dosages – especially in virally infected patients who require significantly more selenium than healthy adults. Adjust dosage of Se due to weight: below 50 kg weight use lower range.

 Recommended Selenium Doses Daily for Ebola Patients

Patient Category              Approximate Weight           200mcg Tablets

Adult, very large                                             100+ kg                                               12 tablets p/d

Adult, large                                                     80-100 kg                                            10-11 tablets p/d

Adult, Medium                                                60-80 kg                                              8-9 tablets p/d

Teenager, Small Adult                                     40-60 kg                                              6-7 tablets p/d

Child                                                                15-40 kg                                              4-5 tablets p/d

Infant                                                               4-15 kg                                                2-3 tablets p/d

The dosage of selenium for Ebola virus disease is dependent on weight and the disease phase. The dosage can be slightly greater the first time it is administered to help the patient quickly regain the selenium lost to the disease. After the patient has recovered the dosage can be gradually reduced but the patient should continue to take one to two tablets of selenium a day for one month after recovery to help them regain their strength and immunity.

How Deadly Viruses Kill

Image
              The short answer of how highly pathogenic viruses kill people is, they deplete selenium from the cells and organs of the immune system. That eventually can cause multiorgan failure and death. Killer viruses do this by genetically encoding the selenium proteins they need to replicate. This is comparable to how the sun can kill a person if they try to cross a desert with no water. The sun kills by gradually depleting water from a person’s body. Killer viruses kill by depleting the essential selenium that cells, organs, and the human body need to function. The same principle applies. However, most viruses that infect humans are not highly deadly. Only a few are.             Adults harbor more than a hundred viruses in their body. Most people are infected by at least one of several herpes viruses. They remain infected for life. While the immune system normally keeps them in check, durin...

Life, Death, the Immune System, and RFK Jr.

                The immune system is the most complex system in the human body. It is the only system besides the nervous system that has a memory. Vaccines utilize that memory to prime the immune system to help prevent infection and save lives from infectious disease. Most vaccines are 100% protective. Others are partially or mostly protective.             Every human cell contains its own miniature immune system. The cellular antioxidant system keeps cells detoxified, clean, and healthy. The critical active component of 80% of antioxidants, the part that does the real work, is composed of selenium-based proteins called selenoproteins. Without enough selenium, cells get sick and die.             The human immune system consists of the kidneys, spleen, liver, thymus, lymph nodes, and white blood cells. It performs the same task fo...

Coser to a Cure for H5N1 Avian Influenza

Covid-19 has killed over 1.23 million Americans - 47,500 in 2024. That is more than in all U.S. wars. H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) potentially could kill ten or twenty times that many. Chances are it will kill far more than Covid did, especially if health authorities continue to ignore the science.    Far less likely, as Donald Trump predicted for Covid-19 in early 2020, “It will all go away by Easter.”  Tens of millions of Americans could die of H5N1. Or not. Viruses are tricky. Today, the only thing we know for sure is that American health authorities are almost totally unprepared to meet the immense historic challenge of a potential H5N1 pandemic that most epidemiologists believe eventually will strike – perhaps soon.  How unprepared are we? The Trump administration is extremely unprepared. What can we do to fix that? Besides physically protective barriers including masks, shields, social distancing, quarantines, shutdowns and hand sanit...
