Look at the history of DHEA to find that people thought it was banned even though it was never on the
list of controlled substances. This was prior to 1995 when folks from the UK forced the issue by distributing DHEA
for free at an anti-aging medicine conference. Still, this was at least 2 years after the physician group I worked
with began prescribing it (and the compounding pharmacy in the same building managed to purchase 2 kilos of the
stuff at a ridiculously low price, on my recommendation).
Bruce Jafek presented today on zinc compounds and their
relevance to loss of sense of smell in enough human patients to cause the immediate withdrawal of any homeopathic
cold remedies that use zinc compounds (e.g., Zicam). If they go after weak androgens like those metabolites of
androgens that are incorporated into pheromone enhanced fragrances, it would show how ridiculous the folks at the
FDA can be--and I cannot even begin to imagine how this would happen. Take cholesterol for example: its a precursor
for all steroidal chemical production. It\'s also linked (precariously) to cardiovascular disease. Will the FDA
ban cholesterol? Folks at the National Institute of Health will, no doubt, need to explain biology to some foolish
congresspersons.
