Selenium

Selenium is a mineral found in pill form at almost any health food store, pharmacy, or grocery in the U.S. — and, for years, Andrew Young has been taking it as a dietary supplement. The Foundation used it to help fight COVID-19 internationally.

Following terrifying Ebola outbreaks in Liberia, Ambassador Young received a call for help from their president. The Foundation worked with the top ebola fighters in Liberia, who later appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, to get a thousand bottles of selenium. We arranged for a shipment to be delivered inside the hot zone.

Reportedly, 68% of ebola patients who received the mineral lived, while only 44% survived without selenium.

Working with Ethan Will Taylor, Ph.D., the Foundation is working to provide selenium free of charge to boost immunity and support populations’ defense against COVID-19.
