<<What is it that I don't understand?>>

You said that HEPH was a fraud based upon your perusal of a website (which is not theirs from all indications). Your basic cry of 'mega-fraud' was based in part upon the following, extracted from the website -

**********************************************************************
"Serum androgens, estrogens, 'steroid-sensitive proteins', thyroid components, and albumin were measured twice within a 4-5 week interval in 44 cases of
early normal pregnancy (gestational weeks 8-18). Positive correlations were found in the total material between dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHAS)
and testosterone (T), unconjugated and total estrone, albumin, tetraiodothyronine, and calculated free tetraiodothyronine concentrations and within 2-week
intervals between DHAS and T, estradiol-17 beta, and unconjugated and total estrone, and between T and estradiol-17 beta and unconjugated estrone."
(Gynecol. Obstet. Invest. 1995; 40(3):145)

I suggest that the current rise in male homosexuality is the result of increased testosterone in women. It is known that the phenomenon known as the "secular trend" is occurring here. The secular trend is characterized by increased size in our children, male and female, and an earlier onset of puberty. I suggest the secular trend is driven by increased testosterone and the rise in male homosexuality is a result of this.

Please explain the fallacy of the above statements so that we may better understand the nature of this fraud.

"I was reading up on DHEA. I've never seen such a load of pseudoscientific crap in my life."

I could go back and pull up a whole bunch of posts that have the same type of connotations attached to them but I'll pass.

It was merely a funny. See Steve's reply--I had that one coming. Not meant to give you grief. I'm sure those Zonagen margin calls are giving you enough of that.
