DHEA bad reactions, was Re: What to do about depression

[Guest guest]

" people with defects in sulfation (a phase two reaction) are likley to have an

aberrant reaction to DHEA supplementation "

per AI Page 111

This happened to me, I got very nauseous, head aches, cannot remember if it made

me anxious, but after trying it twice i realized I could not take regular DHEA

However 7 Keto DHEA, a specific type of DHEA, does not cause these

problems. I have found the Enzymatic brand works best for me (whole

foods)

I am glad you asked this question and I looked it up as I had

misunderstood what caused the DHEA reaction problems. This sulfate

problem now makes sense and ties in with Dave's, the moderators,

explanation for my bad reaction to epsom salts bath two weeks ago;

and probably like Jackie the moderator, why an epsom salt drink (as

recommended by ) make me gag and feel really sick
