DHEA

[Guest guest]

Dear Harsha:

 

To give it in a simplified concise synthesis from a biochemical perspective,

DHEA is the base hormone from which all other hormones are made. Hormones

regulate, sleep, eating, sex, rhythms of all our chemicals. From DHEA is

made all the other hormones which are vast. In the studies I have seen, DHEA

is the only chemical which decreases in direct proportion to "age" depending

on all those factors (courtsey to Antoine for exceptional insight on "real"

factors) which effect us.

 

It is not recommended that people under age 40 take DHEA, I tried it, being

trained in the field lends one to a penchant for experimentation, and frankly

I can't take it I'm too young. But I can vouch for the fact that instantly

all my hormones worked better, I woke up with more energy, slept more soundly

and so on. The older one is, biochemically, the longer the duration one will

have to take DHEA. I would research the manufacturer for quality and base

substance(s).

 

Does that help?

Thanks Annette. I have heard taking DHEA might cause liver problems. It

seems we know so little about how artificial harmones affect us that there

is reason for caution. I have heard that mice have benefited from it and

some people really "feel" younger after taking it. But then I suppose you

would have to keep taking it. So the dependence factor has to be considered.

However, the work that is being on life-extension is intriguing. I do

believe that adding much raw food to one's diet (fruits and vegetables) can

be most helpful in feeling good and staying healthy.
