Making too much DHEA? B12 can bring it down.
|

To start, I'm a 56 year old woman that has been on HRT for nearly 30 years due to a hys. when I was 27. I was having major migraines and feeling just plain rotten due to ME/CFS and Fibromyaligia. I've been doing my own research on line trying to find some answers for all this misery. I had also read a book called, The Migraine Cure. This book encouraged extensive blood tests to locate the accurate levels of all hormones in the body. My doctor agreed to help me with more thorough blood testing and they revealed my DHEA level was 3 times higher than normal, which put me in cardiac and vascular risk. Most people are looking to take DHEA as a supplement for more energy and perhaps enhance their libido. High doses turn into a natural steroid and can cause great damage. DHEA is nothing to fool around with. I've never taken it via supplementation. My body was producing it naturally. Yikes! I had read that people with high levels of DHEA could actually bring it down to normal levels by getting an injection of B12 once a week for a month and following up with good, food based B supplements. I was tested AGAIN 1 week after my last B12 injection and my test results came back NORMAL. My doctor was stunned and thanked me for teaching him something. I have gone off my HRT and taking Fosamax to strengthen my bones. I continue to take my supplements and I haven't had a migraine in 3 months. That's pretty darn good after having 2 or 3 a week. There is light at the end of the tunnel. You have to research and not give up!

B12 and DHEA

I also have very high DHEA and would like to research the B12 connection. My doctor wants to do a ACTh challenge and I'd love to have some information for him. Could you point me the way to the articles about B12 and DHEA? I haven't gotten anywhere in my research.

B-12 works against colds and flu?

It's too bad that those 116 people who had been given flu shots before trying this experiment didn't also include a group of people who did not take the flu shot.
Some people cannot tolerate flu shots. Had a group of them been included in this study, the result wouldn't be so deceptive.
Additionally I'm not as sanguine as the articles' writer as to the effectiveness of B-12 against colds and flu.
I use mega-doses of B-12 daily, year in and year out. Colds and flu are not the only things that seem to beat the B-12; add fever and chilling, sinus infections, ear infections, and the list could go on and on.
All that said, however, I am happy for the cherry-picked little group that claimed improvement from B-12 for colds and flu.
Perhaps another COMPLETE study could be performed in the future?

I'm looking forward to seeing the next article in this series on NO, O NO and methylation cycle disregulation. I know these are two of the most popular theories right now, but I'm hoping Dr. Myatt's article can explain them in laymen's terms (as I felt this article did). Thanks! LC
