\nCHART 1  \n# INTRODUCTION\n\nDHEA or dehydroepiandrosterone,the most abundant hor-mone in humans and mammals,is an essential componentin many physiological functions.It plays a major role in theimmune system;it is a building block for sexual and otherhormones;and it determines general levels of well-being andmood.Although we have known about DHEA for almost50 years,there have been relatively few clinical studies untilthe last decade.However,research shows that DHEA maybe the most critical single chemical in the body in predictingdisease or health.  \nDHEA is deficient in every major disease,including obe-sity,diabetes,high blood pressure,cancer,various immunedeficiencies,coronary artery disease and autoimmune disor-ders.Oral replacement of DHEA appears to be of benefit inall of these illnesses with no significant reported complica-tions.On the other hand,natural enhancement of DHEAlevels is now feasible and at least from a theoretical pointof view,much more desirable.  \nDHEA is manufactured in the body from cholesterol;yet it is interesting to note that DHEA levels often declinewith aging while cholesterol levels increase.This factleads to
