good info...thanks!Sodium selenite supposedly kills cancer cells through oxidation according to studies, if this is the correct way of describing its action. Correct me if I am wrong.
It is only a specific sodium selenite that has anticancer activity according to one of the studies under, quote:
"However, it is now firmly established that only an inorganic sodium selenite with four-valent Se, and not that with six-valent (selenate) cation shows anticancer activity."

"Sodium Selenite
Sodium selenite destroys cancer cells by selectively generating toxic free radicals (reactive oxygen species) which target the destruction of the mitochondria in cancer cells, however not in healthy cells.
Sodium selenite helps with the repair of damaged genes (DNA segments). This reduces the risk of new cancers being formed.
Numerous human studies with sodium selenite support the use of this form of selenium as a possible additional treatment for cancer patients and for preventing new or recurring cases of cancer.
In a randomized controlled clinical trial of sodium selenite using 200 mcg per day versus a placebo in patients with aggressive head and neck cancers, patients given the supplement showed an increased ability to destroy cancer cells. In another study it was shown that temporary use of 1,000 mcg of sodium selenite in patients with oral tumors effectively reduced potentially deadly swelling in these patients after surgery. Sodium selenite in patients with newly diagnosed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma increased the response rate to chemotherapy by 50% compared to a placebo group, and significantly increased overall survival time."

And there's many more information, studies and literature to be found on sodium selenite for cancer on the internet. Hope this helps.
