>Well I started collecting my own drinking water and must admit that has improved me more than any other one thing I have taken..although I still get a lot of of the polluted govt water(maybe 3l a day instead of 6 + bath/shower water)
I figure drinking 6 litres of heavily fluoridated water a day put me way over the limit..(1.5*6= 9 )of whatever the units are...(ppb?) and more that likely it wasn't just physcological that I felt better whenever I was away from Sydney.>
> I'm glad you brought up the subject of selenium. I've taken it on and off for a couple of years now to try and combat all the damage I caused by 20 years of smoking, and more importantly recently as I've discovered cancer in my family. Anyway, i've been feeling really rather rough lately (very depressed and MASSIVELY irritable and argumentative (not that Dr Bob would notice! LOL)) but since i've ceased the selenium I seem to have improved somewhat. Any clues as I can find nothing on the net which suggests such a contrary reaction (although I seem to react poorly to virtually anything I try these days).

>I know selenium in the soil has been discussed in the Brit Parliament (put the paper somewhere on here).. and it looked like your govt opted for the option of Prozac in the drinking water instead http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3545684.stm
(that's been discussed on here too)Well I guess I felt relaxed over there but then maybe tourists tend to get withdrawal symptoms when they get home..hmmmm maybe its a ploy to get tourist return and not merely a cheaper and easier implementation of citizen "calming".
I think your possible selenium reaction is worth noting..especially as I might have experienced the same thing.
Maybe it should be a new posting ..but I haven't heard of anyone else experiencing it?
I think it's probably a combo thing..like maybe high acetylcholine and selenium combined??..dreadful whatever the cause.
Glad the selenium reduction seems to be helping.
I'm feeling a lot better since keeping off it and the brazil nuts too..and dropping the soy lecithin.(I can't even remeber what ese i dropped now..and it was only a few days ago!)> You'll like this one too.....some government body are currently discussing rules to have a maximum number of revolutions a roundabout can make to prevent accidents to children; I kid you not!!!

> TJ (subject of Herr Blair)Does that mean you can't keep driving round and round on the roundabouts trying to figure out which exit to take..when 3 out of 7 exits are labelled with the same town and 2 have no labels? ..or does that mean they are actually going to restrict the no of roundabouts they build in a row. So when following directions like turn left at the roundabout.. which REALLY when decoded means turn left at the 6th roundabout and not the most left exit(everyone should KNOW that's not the one)..but the 2nd left one, sigh
yes I can see how children would be safer(and not only children:)...what are they planning on doing instead?
The govt over here was talking about declaring oestrogen illegal I thought I heard sometime a couple of years ago.. I was beginning to feel like I was illegal or something :) Then I didn't here any more about it..
