    Lightbulb Dhea

    In case DHEA has made its way

    into your curiosity vein, I think I'm going to take the plunge, and this seems to be the best spot for good info

    ... http://www.raysahelian.com/dhea.html I found other spots that claimed there were no benefits. Who

    knows what's really going on with all the info floating around on the net?

    I do like Doc's recommendation of

    5mcg per day/or when needed, but it's said to be hard to find the 5mcg tablets. Idesign's 25 mcg 3 to f4 times a

    week sounds like the next best thing.

    Anywho, just sharing.
    Never argue with ignorant people! They pull you down to THEIR level, and then they BEAT YOU with experience. Who said that!? I don't know, but tis gold I tell'ya!!

    I've heard they're trying to

    outlaw DHEA. If so, it's a damn shame. We should have the ability to make our own decisions about supplements.

    Ephedra was outlawed because a few individuals who did not heed precautions died usually due to having other health

    conditions in addition to not heeding warnings. Yet ephedra has an incredible safety record, much better than the

    pills prescribed by doctors. I wonder how much the pharmaceutical companies push for this type of

    legislation.

    Any pharmacy should have pill splitters.

    They consist of a razor blade in a little holder and are made to split tablets. If you get the common 25 mg DHEA

    tablets, splitting them into 4 will give you about 5mg. You do lose a little due to crumbling when you split a

    tablet.

    Looks like it is dead. It may be

    brought up again but in almost a year nothing has happened.
    To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.

    These

    "anti-supplement" bills come up all the time, and never pass. I don't know if its the lobby or common sense which

    kills them.

    It would definitely be bad to regulate natural supplements. I need them to counteract my unhealthy

    lifestyle.

    There are several supplements that I "cycle". DHEA is one of them. 3-4 days on, 3-4 days off,

    when I remember to take them at all...

    Other than a daily vitamin I

    rarely take supplements. Have tried a few here and there, the only one I felt was worthwhile is a product called

    restore. It has an estrogen antagonist and a testosterone booster, both natural. The issue I have with DHEA is that

    it boosts your testosterone which can convert to estrogen, especially in us older guys. I already have enough

    trouble, and always have, with a stomach that wants to grow. Increased estrogen would make matters worse. Only a lot

    of exercise keeps that in check as it is.
