Guest guest Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Do you say that because taking HC can increase DHEA by itself?

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 addendum to my previous post: I guess the answer would lie in whether DHEA is produced in the adrenal glands themselves separately from cortisol or if it is a deritative of cortisol, thus by taking cortisol, the cortisol makes more DHEA, but I don't think that's right because I've been doing some research that the mainstream docs are finally getting around to supplementing DHEA now and raising the levels in 's patients (with very good results emotionally, psychologically and physically) see pub-med.....rather than just replacing their cortisol and aldosterone.

I do nto know that taking HC does increase DHEA, only thta it might if the adrenals were too exhausted to produce enough before treatment they may be able to once they are rested a bit. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
