FOOD SUPPLEMENTS: THEIR EFFECTS ON THE BODY Version 6.02 (c) Copyright 1998, 2001, 2002, 2003 by George M Lucich P.O. Box 424, Glenns Ferry, ID 83623 DHEA ? Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a naturally-occurring phospholipid nutrient; a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands. It is the precursor for the manufacture of many other hormones by the body. In animal test it has been shown to reverse aging, restore youthful vigor, cure cancer, and increase immune response. Many studies have shown that low DHEA levels in humans correlate to increased risk of cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, obesity, diabetes and premature aging. A positive correlation between DHEA levels and mental acuity in older people has been reported by Baulieu, French endocrinologist and inventor of RU486. "Alzheimer's patients have 48 percent lower DHEA than control group," (Dr. C.R. Merrill, Lab of Biochemical Genetics, Bethesda, MD). The anti-obesity, anti-diabetic and anti-tumor actions of DHEA are thought to be due to its inhibition of the G6PD enzyme. The average blood levels of DHEA in young people are 300 to 500 mcg per deciliter and drops to 30 to 100 mcg per deciliter with age. The author recommends taking DHEA only under the guidance of a physician experienced in its use. For personal use only. Not for sale or hire.
