If there is no Drug Company Profit a Compound is Worthless

"The NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE study by Nair that dismissed DHEA supplementation as being without value made no assessment of endothelial function, effects of cortisol on the hippocampus, of immune function, of skin status and of a number of other parameters." (http://www.benbest.com/nutrceut/DHEA.html)

"Canada has declared DHEA to be an "anabolic steroid" that is illegal to own or sell without a prescription in that country. DHEA is sold without prescription in the United States." (IBID)

" A sense of futility (or acceptance) concerning aging-associated functional decline, the diversity & vaguely-understood nature of DHEA actions and the fact that DHEA is a natural hormone that cannot be patented have all contributed to the relative lack of research that has been done on the value of DHEA hormone replacement."

Can you see the pattern here? If it can't be exploited for a profit it is dismissed by the establishment as worthless.
