Dosage: 300 or 500mg per day.Also interesting that 300mg increased plasma pregnenolone levels more than 500mg after a few weeks.

Aspirin for autism?
In this animal model aspirin worked as a treatment for autism.
It completely restored their sociability and improved cognition and oxidative stress.
The human equivalent dosage was around 600mg.

They accidentally gave 2 million IUs of vitamin D to a 90 and a 95 year old.
Interestingly, except for a transient spike of Vitamin D levels above the reference range, they were fine. -
DHEA seems to have some interesting antiviral effects.
At least partly because of its ability to protect the thymus gland from Glucocorticoids.

@rpc thanks!
I posted them on twitter during the last weeks. But it seems to me that there is less overlap between the audience on here and twitter, than I thought. So I'll try to post them on both platforms in the future. -
