Re: - sleepy? - DHEA( and Niacinamide)

[Guest guest]

:

I'm sure there's a difference in the effects becuase we are a

different gender- and maybe the age difference has effects too.!.

In any case- I can't increase the dose or I feel nauseous.. since

the dose is SO small- I think (larger doses for me) effect some other

hormone or hormone cascade.

In any case- since I don't want to lose my hair or grow a beard -

I'll stick with the tiny dose- which is working for me. I've done

enough itterations to know for sure it's working.

OH- on the niacinamide front- I stopped taking it as it's 90 degrees

here, haying season- and I have to feel well enough to do some work-

I'll resume it when it cools down. I couldn't find any realaly good

articles (except observations by patients) that niacinamide at 1500mg

kills intracellular c. pneumonia... but something makes my cervical

lymph nodes swell when I take that dose.. so maybe.........

Have you checked Stratton's patents? You can conjure em up at uspto.gov.

It's disgusting here, 94 F and damn humid... not feeling too amazing

today. Maybe once I save up I'll move to Albuquerque. Fortunately the

radar has a monster T storm bearing down on us right now.
