Would the solution to this be to take GABA? Would taking gaba lower DHEA?

=================================================

I have high DHEA too. (thus the need for testing before

supplementing).

I was told that high DHEA can inhibit GABA in the brain. The result

is you feel hyper. Zippy, hyper? No way man.

Anyway, the cause of this may be a blocked enzyme, 3-beta-hydroxy-

steroid dehydrogenase. This is the enzyme that converts DHEA into

androgens in men (don't know about females, I assume it would be the

same though).

It would seem reasonable to me that mercury could inhibit the action

of this enzyme, as I believe it inhibits others as well. At least,

this was my suspicion, as my mercury was pretty high via stool test,

70th percentile.

That's all I know at this point.

In theory, taking GABA should offset

the effects of too high DHEA.

On the other hand, unblocking the

conversion enzyme is the real key.

This could be done by reducing heavy

metals?

Decreasing infections? If any?

They can put out enzyme blocking

toxins.

Or, by increasing co-factors that drive

the enzyme? Whatever they may be?

Zinc? B6?

Sorry, but I haven't gotten very far

with this aspect of things.

Dr Poesnecker says high DHEA is seen at couple of the stages of adrenal

exhaustion,check http://www.chronicfatigue.org/ASI.html. You might be at

stage 1 or 6.If I remember correctly your cortisol levels were in normal

range. So,you might be at stage 6. It is not good to use DHEA or

Pregnenolone at this stage.He uses Seriphos and ace to control pituitary

overpush of adrenals.

Just for your info.. Nil
