The Advantages of Diindolylmethane

 

Almost everyone has cell phones, and according to a recent study, it is one of the most common causes of cancer, as identified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. It seems like every time we find a cause and find a way to eliminate it, yet another cause pops out of nowhere.

What about those who already have cancer?

For the past two decades, the compound Diindolylmethane has been the subject of much research, especially by the scientists at UC Berkeley. Only recently, this research has yielded results that indicate that this compound will be one of the most precious compounds when it comes to its uses in the medical field.

Here are some of the advantages of the compound, DIM, which has been extracted from the Brassica family of vegetables:

Advantage #1: Anti- cancer properties

In the years of research that was conducted, DIM was found to have direct anti-cancer properties. One such initiative included using this compound as part of a cancer prevention diet and it was found to reduce a person’s chances of getting breast and prostate cancer by almost 40 to 60 percent.

In addition, it is being used in therapy along with Taxol to cure cancer to see if the effects on patients are better, while also being the subject of investigation by the National Cancer Institute as an alternate therapy for all forms of cancer.

Advantage #2: Immune-modulating properties

One important discovery that has been made when it comes to this compound is that it acts as a natural immune booster, which also includes strengthening the body’s organs. This means that regardless of the disease, the body’s defenses are strengthened to eliminate the threat swiftly.
