Vitamin E is also known to be helpful for heavy metal poisoning. The EPA documents showed that vitamin E and selenium deficient persons sometimes contracted argyria at one fifth the minimum dose thought to be necessary to incur the condition. One might assume that the absence of vitamin E and selenium are like a gat e that's been left open, allowing silver to go where it shouldn't go. To me, it seems more logical to think that silver is normally present in the face by virtue of the fact that once silver is in the blood it will be circulated to all areas of the body. Vitamin E is known to activate a chelating mechanism for heavy metals.
Selenium is known to bind silver, making it also a chelating agent.
I don't think vitamin E and selenium are a gate, I think they're a broom. 200mcg to 400mcg of selenium per day is a safe supplement to take on an ongoing basis. I told Dr. Gruenn that I was taking 4,000 IU a day. He replied that this was still safe for a strong healthy person. The danger of high doses of vitamin E is that it thins the blood.
