Re: Thyroid, adrenals and DHEA supplements

[Guest guest]

Hi

You said, " Low DHEA can cause all kinds of problems and can affect

various autoimmune diseases, including having an

effect on the thyroid. "

Do you know how DHEA affects auto-immune diseases and the thyroid and what kinds

of effects it has? What are the problems with having too much or too little

DHEA? I know you'll get some answers. Thanks, Zoey

Thyroid, adrenals and DHEA supplements

Hi -

Has anyone had adrenal testing of the DHEA levels and

found them to be very low? If so, did you try supplementing

with DHEA to see if it had an effect on the thyroid levels?

It was just a wild idea and finally found a doc to test

my DHEA adrenal level. It was 82 (range 35 to 430). Low

DHEA can cause all kinds of problems and can affect

various autoimmune diseases, including having an

effect on the thyroid.

I've read that supplementing with DHEA can help boost low sex

hormones in postmenopausal women. All of mine are low.

I asked for the lowest dose of DHEA (5 mg per day) and got

pharmaceutical grade.

Now I'm too chicken to try it. Wondered if there are

any experiences out there.

Thanks so much,

Chris

Hi Aldyth -

Thanks so much for the link. I found this to be odd:

Quote: However, it is banned in other countries, including Britain,

and there have been concerns that it could be taken as a performance

enhancing drug. End Quote.

Is it banned in Britain *because* it is a " performance enhancing

drug " ? That's a little bizarre.

I see that Pres Kennedy had 's. I think I remember

reading that Jr had Graves' - isn't this interesting?

Thanks again,

Chris

who takes it says she has felt so much better since taking the

supplement, and although the trial has finished now she is going to

continue taking it.
