You obviously did not read my post, which has caused you so much distress.
That is why I did not respond to your first post. Now, you have done it a
second time. Please reread my original post, which I have placed below your
remarks immediately below. All I intended to do was show the connection of
DHEA and bone maintenance in the elderly. The connection of the quotation I
posted is that, in anorexia nervosa, DHEA helps with bone growth. Now,
please read more thoroughly in the future. (Original post follows below the
post to which this is addressed.

This the original post:
Since both DHEA and bone decline in old age, the following quotation
supports
the use of DHEA as a supplement for the elderly. (I do not sell DHEA.) I
invite you to read my work regarding DHEA

Bone loss is a serious consequence of anorexia nervosa (AN). Subnormal
levels of serum dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) are seen in patients with AN
and may be causally linked to their low bone density. We hypothesized that
oral DHEA would decrease markers of bone resorption (urinary N-telopeptides
[NTx]), and increase markers of bone formation (serum bone-specific alkaline
phosphatase and osteocalcin [OC]). Fifteen young women (age 15-22 years)
with AN were enrolled in a 3-month, randomized, double-blinded trial of 50,
100, or 200 mg of daily micronized DHEA. Blood and urinary levels of adrenal
and gonadal steroids and bone turnover markers were measured. No adverse
clinical side effects of DHEA were noted, and a 50 mg daily dose restored
physiologic hormonal levels. At 3 months, NTx levels had decreased
significantly in both the 50 mg (p = 0.018) and the 200 mg (p = 0.016)
subgroups. OC levels simultaneously increased within treatment groups over
time (p = 0.002). Eight out of 15 (53%) subjects had at least one menstrual
cycle while on therapy. Short-term DHEA was well-tolerated and appears to
normalize bone turnover in young women with AN. Resumption of menses in over
half of subjects suggests that DHEA therapy may also lead to estradiol
levels sufficient to stimulate the endometrium in this group of patients.
