Selenium, Sulfur and Magnesium Secrets

Oxygen is closely related to sulfur and selenium. Oxygen, sulfur and selenium share
chemical properties and reactivity, and each one follow the previous one in a single
column of the periodic table. Oxygen is the fire of life itself and loves to grab electrons
from other molecules. Unfortunately this causes oxidation, which must be quenched to
avoid tissue damage.

Sulfur, right under oxygen, is a little bit bigger in atomic size, and so its outer electrons
are less tightly bound. Selenium is bigger still, and it holds electrons even less tightly than
sulphur. This means that selenium is best at passing electrons and sulphur is second best,
while oxygen holds on the strongest. Sulfur and selenium can help metabolism when
oxygen levels are low.

Any form of stress reduces oxygen dissolved in blood plasma. Stress comes in many
forms - anxiety, dehydration, toxins, physical trauma, infection, and so on. Stress
decreases the amount of oxygen dissolved in your body fluids, and decreases the amount
of oxygen that reaches cells. Stress causes cellular suffocation.

Many factors interfere with blood-to-tissue oxygen delivery: tissue pH, vascular
inflammation, cellular malnutrition and more. xxxiii

The ability of sulfur/selenium thiol compounds, specifically magnesium thiosulfate and
sodium thiosulfate, to enable the body to overcome hypoxic acidosis, explains many
therapeutic effects of sulfur and selenium. Thiol compounds carry oxygen analogs as
sulfur or selenium, which are small enough to enter sick tissue and help restore normal
