"DHEA: the closest we can get, today, to a fountain of youth".

"Blood levels of DHEA...is one of the most reliable markers of aging. Most age researchers agree that to retard aging you must maintaln the known markers of aging at a level comparable to what you had at age 20 or so. Declining blood levels of DHEA arc also a marker for disease."

"DHEA seems to protect against both diabetes and obesity."

"With higher levels of DHEA...many diseases just melt away...decrease... heart attacks and strokes...lowers blood pressure in animals...helpful in cancer, Alzheirner's disease, multiple sclerosis, memory loss, chronic fatigue syndrome, and Parkinson's disease...increases estrogen in women and testosterone in men in levels found in younger men and women...lowers blood cholesterol level."

"DHEA is virtually non toxic as the body seems to use what it needs."

"These are the facts. DHEA is extraordinarily safe. Your body tends to utilize the extra DHEA if it needs it and ignores it if it doesn't,."

"DHEA, an extremely safe steroid-like hormone, reverses the expression of both the obesity gene and the diabetes gene in experimental animals."

"In humans, DHEA has been shown to increase the sensitivity of cells to insulin."

"Why isn't DHEA given to the millions that could benefit from it? Because the FDA is standing, gun in hand, protecting the interests of the drug companies."

"DHEA is the most powerful single therapy I have ever seen."

FROM DR. DEEPAK CHOPRA'S BEST-SELLING BOOK, AGELESS BODY, TIMELESS MIND

"...DHEA is a marker for the body's exposure to stress. On the other hand, high DHEA levels are associated with reduced incidence of coronary artery disease, breast cancer, and osteoporosis. Higher DHEA is also associated with longer survival and decreased death from all diseases in older men."

"...the DHEA reservoir was depleted from stress."

In, a study of 242 men over the ago of 50, it was found that those with a high level of DHEA in their blood were only half as likely to die of heart disease as those, with relatively little of the hormone. Even in people without heart disease, DHEA seems to protect against early death. On its own, that's good news, but coming as it does after reports that taking DHEA can prevent or ease a variety of other illnesses, it may be the strongest evidence yet that a single hormone plays a contrast role in maintaning hurran healh

The number of areas where supplemental DHEA is helpful is almost alarming, because it covers such a broad range of diseases. DHEA is taken by mouth, and when blood levels of DHEA are increased to the level you had at a younger age, many diseases just melt away. The body seems fully capable of using supplemental DHEA, as if it were processed in the body. Here are some of DHEA's uses:

* Increasing the blood level of DHEA, decreases the stickiness of platelets, small

particles in the blood that often clump together and cause heart attacks and strokes.

* It lowers blood pressure in animals given drugs to elevate it

* It has been shown to be helpful in cancer, Alzheimer's disease, Multiple Sclerosis,

memory loss, chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and Parkinson's disease.

* It has been shown to increase the level of Estrogen in women, and Testosterone in men

to levels found in younger men and women. As such, it might be safer to supplement with

DHEA in older men and women than with Estrogen and Testosterone.

* DHEA lowers the blood cholesterol level, and studies are underway comparing DHEA

to Mevacor, a cholesterol-lowering drug.
