Dear Editor

It is my hypothesis that thrombosis/stroke may be due to low DHEA:
http://www.anthropogeny.com/Thrombosis%20May%20Be%20Caused%20by%20Low%20DHEA.htm
Many pathological entities associated with thrombosis may be demonstrated to exhibit low DHEA.
A mother produces DHEA for herself and her fetus. I suggest this split of DHEA may reduce DHEA to very low levels in the mother and trigger the stroke. This may be the mechanism.
