DHEA

[Guest guest]

I think I am going to cut down to 25 mg of DHEA a day for awhile since I have

broken out in about 5 pimples in the last week and my face is very oily. I am

not sure if it is my work environment or the DHEA but I will cut it down and see

if it helps.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind

word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of

caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Now that is interesting.... I was staying on the conservative side

because of the label warnings... Considering I still have arthritic

pain... and I'm not fantasizing about chasing anyone around furniture

(forget about actually doing it yet)... I might up it a bit

How do you take yours? Single dose.. multi-dosing. Sublingually, swallow?

I don't like the taste of it... so I swallow them.. but I do quarter the

tabs and multi-dose... I'm just a firm believer that giving the

supplements in smaller amounts, more often is better for our bodies...

evening out the availability and giving our bodies a better chance at

having what they need at a time when they are able to work.

I base that on my own feeling of ability to do things... I'm up and about

doing stuff for a while then I tire and chose to sit... what if our body

functions are similar? That if they go on their merry way for a while and

then tire and stop.... and then when they have rested and are ready to go

again, OR if they wore out trying to process everything that we gave them

all in one fell swoop... there is nothing there for them to work with

when they are rested again and ready to work some more.

I multi-dose everything I can (I don't do calcium and iron more than once

a day... and vitamin E is an oil cap, so that, too is a single dose a

day...) in multiple doses, even my multi-vitamin/mineral supplement. I

use and blade and split the caplets into 8ths.... I have one piece with

each mini-meal and an extra one with my late days supps.... This way, no

matter what I eat, I have nutritional value... I have good levels of

nutrients in my blood stream throughout the day..... Everything is there

for all the healing and repair work that my body has to deal with after

so many years of underdosing and no meds.... I finally get to catch up

!!!
