Abstract
A method for enhancing serum dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) levels in human beings resulting in improved host response to infection and resistance to pathogenic and opportunistic infectious organisms. The serum concentration of DHEA is elevated through the use of topically applied preparations containing the steroid, progesterone, through two different types of electronic stimulators applied to specific acupuncture points on an individual's body, or by combination of the two methods. One or more of the methods may be applicable to the whole.
