On the subject of DHEA, following up what you and Susan were talking about, I came across this:
Side Effects
The side effects of DHEA supplementation appear as an excess of androgens and estrogens, the male and female sex hormones. Men and women may experience acne, hair loss, liver damage and high blood pressure. Women may develop a deeper voice and produce facial hair, while men may have swollen breasts, shrinkage of the genitals and an aggressive temperament. Call your doctor immediately if any of these symptoms occur. Ask your doctor before discontinuing DHEA use as you may develop withdrawal symptoms.

So, just be careful !! I know we would all die for the 'swollen breasts' but I doubt any of us want the other symptoms mentioned!
