Guest guest Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 It would have to be a result of a side effect of the medication as killing people is not the intended effect of Advair. The side effect could be caused by incorrect dosages as have been mentioned in earlier posts, allergic reaction and so on. >> > Are there any significant side effects to taking DHEA supplement while >> being >> > treating for Hypothyroidism? ... > > Since DHEA increases production of testosterone, it is thought to increase the > risk of testicular cancer in males.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 I think this part of your post caused me to think that perhaps you were confusing intended effects with side effects. I don't see how it follows that every hormone causes side effects; and that is what I thought you were saying. Other than that, as you can see from my other posts [AFAIK] I agreed with you. .. .. > Of course there are Œside effects¹ to EVERY hormone your body needs > >> that you > >> put into it or you would feel no results!

I appreciate the " defense " of my statements from which you perceived I was being attacked [possibly, anyway]; but I'm a big boy now and when Sue or anyone else points out one of my irritating habits it's probably a good time for me to learn something. Like I just posted, we fuss and fight here sometimes like family. Please don't take my " grumpiness " or that of anyone else too seriously. We really DO try to help each other; but we have such widely varying approaches that it sometimes causes fireworks.
