Who should not take selenium?

In case you're not aware, selenium is used as an injection to test whether or not a site meets a particular requirement.

For example, to test whether your site conforms to the standards of the Google Webmaster Central, Google gives you a script (I can't remember if it was in Python, or something else) that checks your site and tells you whether it did well or not. The script tests for basic things like: Has the page been cached? Was the page successfully retrieved? Was the page successfully parsed? Was the page successfully rendered? Is the page properly served? Is there HTTP status 200? Does it has a valid header? Does it have a Content-Type that matches the MIME type declared in the meta tag? Is the MIME type set in the document's Content-Type or Content-Type-Not-Set? Is it a valid image? How do I know what the standard is? Well, the last line I quoted refers to the Page Speed Test. However, Page Speed is a tool to improve the speed of your website, and is not necessarily a test that conforms to the standard (as opposed to the "valid image" check, which is a test that conforms to the standard).

So if I had selenium, how would I use it? Well, you'd test that your site passes the standard at the time, and once you've tested you're done, right? Well, not quite. Once you've done that, you need to decide what it means. For example, if you test a site today, and the standard is that sites should be served with a content-type of "text/html", that means the following:

The content-type should be of type "text/html". You should have a meta tag declaring the content-type. If you don't have a meta tag declaring the content-type, you should add it. You should use one of the common HTML syntaxes. (In the previous example, HTML syntax would be acceptable.)

Finally, you should declare the meta tag's name and value. How could I use it?

What vitamin is deficient in hypothyroidism?

Is this true?

Forget iron and calcium, the vitamin that is most deficient in hypothyroidism is vitamin B12. It is common for people with hypothyroidism to also have a low vitamin B12 level. Dr. Mark Hyman, "Vitamin C: The Forgotten Man-Giver"

I was just listening to Dr. Hyman, and he mentioned something about vitamin B12 being deficient in hypothyroidism. He said that in the long term, hypothyroidism causes a deficiency in vitamin B12. So I am wondering:

1) Is this true? 2) If so, how can it be corrected? 3) Does anyone know of a reliable source for this information?

How much selenium should I take with hypothyroidism?

I have hypothyroidism.

I am currently taking 50mcg of selenium. I do not have any other conditions. I am thinking about getting more selenium, but am unsure about how much I should take. I don't want to overdo it.

Selenium is a trace element and is usually not the primary concern in hypothyroidism. The only problem you might encounter with a higher dose of selenium is that you will increase the absorption of iron, which can cause anemia. You should consult a nutritionist or a thyroid expert to make sure your body needs this additional selenium and that you don't run the risk of iron toxicity.

If you are not currently supplementing with selenium, I would recommend starting with a lower dose and working your way up.
