Thank you for your response. I am not taking anything to increase DHEA. I know much of these hormones have not been fully utilize. I take artichoke tea and milk thistle but I feel I need something more. Maybe my stomach needs to be cleansed. I have been on 1 gm of fennel through out the day. I for some reason cant tolerate fenugreek too much.

I know when I have higher testosterone and estrogen, my body wants to attack itself.

I think I need to do more tests before I go any further with herbs. I learned phytosterols,healing mushrooms can cause an immune attack in some hashimoto's patients. Its Practically everything I am taking right now.
So I stopped the teas.

New Question:
I am wondering if a small dose of BO would give my thyroid,adrenals and pituitary a break. If I am supplementing with something that already has hormones and enzymes contained, wouldn't it take some of slack off for the rest of my glands for a while? Like dessicated thyroid meds do?

I am thinking of switching to BO with other glandulars but at a small dose.

I just have dry eye symptoms. Maybe its the new Jason/Alba products I am washing my face with. I dunno...
But I am maintaining my weight just fine though (staying gluten free and all).
[/u] In fact, I am skinnier by 4 lbs since I have started. My 32 bands are a bit loose.
