Dale--I have read a fair amount on DHEA. In smaller doses it does seem to have some beneficial effects with low risk (under 100 mg). Nothing I have read would make it an effective HIV counter though. I am not an MD but I am unaware of any hormonal treatment effective against viruses. However if one cruises through the Biotechs and examine the targets of their various research, HIV is very prominent. If I were going to develop a fraud company an HIV cure would be a very good target to announce. It is widely recognized by the public and would be seen as potentially lucrative. In the case of HEPH's claims I have some questions. Why would DHEA not work on other viruses besides HIV, such as the common cold, flu, rabies, polio, ebola and so on? Just this sexy cure for AIDS. I can't out right say they are a scam but I have some strong doubts about what they are claiming. Interestingly your post brings to mind one of mine made just yesterday that biotech scams harm more than just investors. By giving false hopes and even carrying out phony known to be useless tests they may keep people from effective treatment. All the Best Druss
