Frequently the words are echoed, "This product did me little
good, in fact, I couldn't tell any difference while I was using
this
stuff." This type of statement is very common. There are many people
that take the dosage listed on the bottle and very little results
are
noticed, but, with others, the dosage on the bottle fits the need
and
situation just fine. Companies usually try to keep recomended dosages
rather conservative; a maintenance level. Some people need reduced
dosages from that listed on the product but many others need an
elevated
amount to get specific therapeutic results.
When dealing with specific herbs and combinations to treat
specific health conditions we must strive for body type therapeutic
dosage. Meaning, there is a maintenance dosage and a therapeutic
dosage
for each herb or supplement. To find the correct dosage for a specific
body type and ailment start out with the recomended dose and increase
or
decrease the dosage slowly until desired results are noticed.
ALWAYS USE DISCRETION AND BE WISE WHEN SELF DIAGNOSING AND
ADMIISTERING HERBS AND OTHER SUPPLEMENTS. It is your decision to
utilize
the herbs, however use quality dosage decisionms. Try to gather
as much
information on the product that you plan to use as well as on the
physical problem that you are trying to overcome.

Aphrodisiacs Many drugs, foods, sights and smells have been

desire or sexual intercourse, and an aphrodisiac is therefore anything
which arouses or increases that desire. Both words derive from
Aphrodite, the ancient Greek goddess of love and beauty.

sexually stimulating. In those times, any plant that looked like a

example of this visual identification of plants is the name of vanilla

of
our physical bodies. We are told that DHEA helps fight disease,
improves mood,improves energy,boosts sexual drive,
influences longevity, lowers cholesterol, increases immune system
function, aids in arthritis, and is used for diabetes, burns,
osteoporsis, exercise (muscles), pregnancy and labor, wieght reduction
and cancer (Taken from:Ray Sahelian, M.D. 1996 DHEA A PRACTICAL GUIDE,
and from Tru's Health and Herb NEWS). Can this impressive list be true
and does this nutient that all of a sudden shows up on our web sites
actually prove worthy of further consideration? And, if only half of
these claims were true about DHEA, we all must stand back and take
a

glands. These adrenal glands produce over 150 hormones with DHEA being
the most abundant. "After DHEA is made by these glands it goes into
the
bloodstream, and from then on it travels all over the body residing
in
our cellular structure, where it is converted into male hormones, known
as androgens, or female hormones, known as estrogens."
this is a nutrient that may help. Ask a freind about DHEA; they may
already be taking it!
