Will selenium supplements relieve my asthma?

Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) is an enzyme that contains selenium that uses glutathione to help metabolize hydrogen peroxide, thus protecting against oxidative damage. Individuals with asthma tend to have higher oxidative activity, lower levels of selenium, and diminished glutathione peroxidase activity. There's been just one study on the effects of selenium supplementation on the increased pulmonary oxidative burden in asthmatics, which showed increases in serum and platelet selenium and GSHPx activity.

Improvements in subjective symptomatology were also observed. However, objective measurements of lung function showed no change.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
