DHEA, was Re: Val Harley - Can you please help me out with my Adr

[Guest guest]

Do you have any recommendations on whether/how to take DHEA? I had a

complete hysterectomy last yr. and am taking Premarin and feel pretty

rough. I supplement with progesterone cream but haven't noticed that

it makes a huge difference. I don't know if I am estrogen dominant -

I just feel worse than pre-hyst.!! My saliva tests indicate that I am

quite DHEA deficient - any advice on supplementing with it?

many thanks,

Most women should start wiht 5MG daily and I have just learned that

sublingual or creams seem to absorb best I would start wiht that and get

rested in a couple months to see if that is enough or not.

Dr. said in his experience women did not do well on DHEA but to take

progesterone and/or pregnolone instead. You need natural progesterone cream

and not progestins which are entirely different (and rough on the body).

Hopefully that is what you are using. I do recommend getting his book.

Premarin is made from horse urine and a lot of women have issues with it. I

don't believe in synthetic sex hormone supplementation personally, only the

bioidentical that your pharmacist can mix up or you can even buy over the

counter in the cases of progesterone and estrogen. In fact, women do so much

better on bioidentical hormones that Wyeth is one of the companies trying to

get the FDA to block our access as patients to bioidentical. Wyeth makes

Premarin. Their profits have taken a nose dive since women have switched to

bioidentical and now they are trying to prevent us from having a choice in

the US. This has been going on for a few years now.

You can also try 5 mg DHEA and see how it works for you for about 30 days.

Hey, I am just saying what I know.

It is made of horse urine, bioidentical does work better for a lot of women

(apparently not you) but she did say she felt bad...and they ARE trying to

prevent us from having a choice because their sales have gone down. I have

already been in touch with the FDA on this.
