Hormone Conversions In The Body

[Guest guest]

Hi All, had to comment on Val's post 36221, my body never converts pre-hormones

properly. I've tried DHEA, 7-Keto DHEA, Pregnenolone, you name it, none made

me better, most did nothing, some made me worse. (One made me smell really bad!

Yuk & LOL!) Only now, thanks to Val, do I understand why none of them worked -

my body did not properly convert ANY of them to the correct end hormone.

I also converted T4 into harmful RT3 instead of helpful T3. (That's why I'm in

this group, of course.)

You would think the doctor who told me to take all these things would be more

knowledgeable about conversion problems, instead of just selling me tons of

useless supplement$ and prescribing me T4, and then being utterly clueless as to

why they never worked.

Hope this info is useful to others dealing with similar issues.
