Greg/DHEA

Funny how when people talk about illusion, they always mention yucky stuff

like pain and suffering. It seems lots less popular to say that nice

things are illusion too, like "sunsets and warm puppies," nice music, a

lifelong love affair, a great meditation, and going to heaven.

 

Hey Harsha-ji, what does DHEA do?

 

Love,

Greg-ji, Annette and Jan and perhaps Amanda know more about DHEA and perhaps

do other scientists on the lists. From the little I have read on the

internet, DHEA is a precursor to testosterone and perhaps growth hormones

and may help to heal the body in some ways. My speculation is that it may

help to heal from injuries faster. There are testimonials that people in

their 60s can become like teenagers after taking it. Of course many consider

it total hype and point out that people taking DHEA can lose hair, have

liver problems, and perhaps have other side effects and that it is not worth

taking. Some body builders and weight lifter take it and it is sold in

K-Mart and other stores. Am I right about this guys? Opinions? Side effects?

 

Love

What you say about DHEA has appeared on usenet in several threads, with comments

and personal experiences. Typing in "DHEA" in will result in more matches

than one can read in a day... All supplements remind me of the popularity of

melatonin. Curious about its promised effects, several years ago I bought a

bottle as at least, the stuff is supposed to induce almost immediate sleep. But

even after eating something like 10 or 20 tablets in one go, nothing happened -

not even the slightest trace of sleep )

 

Since then, I've become rather suspicious about those supplements, especially

when having the potential to upset the hormonal balance. I don't think there is

anything that can match organically grown, unprocessed food and regular physical

exercise

Apart from that, those with active K. are likely to have a changed

body-chemistry; in my case, there is no doubt about that...

And it is a well known fact that exercising regularly gives a boost to the

self-healing property of the body.
