I just read an article where a doc is trying to restore DHEA levels in patients with Macular Degeneration. The premise being when blood level DHEA levels are low in the patients, the macula will make it's own hormones and it does it from cholesterol. The pathology of MD show that cholesterol is present in the lesions. The theory...restore the hormone thus prevent the build up of cholestol. The article is in the Dec issue of Life Extension.

The doc is Dr. Rozakis and is running clinical trials to test his theory.
