Anhydrous selenite
40 volunteer sufferers will be housed in a local private in-patient clinic where they will follow a fixed, communal diet consisting of drinking water and meals from their village. On a 6th day we will give a single dose of placebo (sodium chloride) or anhydrous sodium selenite (0.8mg selenium) labelled with a non-radioactive naturally occurring isotope (77Se), to distinguish it from selenium already in the body.
