DHEA – Important Information from Dr. Gordon & Dr. Mercola
By Linda on Aug 5, 2011 in Hormones | comments(0)
Linda’s comment: I’m now taking DHEA and it makes a difference in how I feel…. I will be 68 yrs old in September and feel DHEA is now a must in my daily supplement routine…
Dr. Gordon’s Comments: I find DHEA is useful and I have taken it for years, 50 mg a day. We always need to learn more about it to avoid side effects and achieve the optimal dose. One study showed cancer patients survive far longer if they receive DHEA and oral melatonin.
This link provides useful information on DHEA, which is an extremely useful hormone that most of us will want to be taking at some point in life depending on your blood tests results. I do not feel that I need to bother to take this in a topical form, as this article recommends, but for many other hormones like testosterone and progesterone topical administration can be very useful.

Supplementing With THIS Hormone Can Lead to Tumors and Insomnia
Posted By Dr. Mercola | March 19 2011Before I begin this article I want to state very clearly that hormones are not my primary specialty. I have used them clinically but I found the science quite controversial, so this is a summary as I best understand it.
If you are a clinician with considerable experience in this area I invite you to present your views to update the information on DHEA.
