Why The Medical Community Is Excited About DIM

In a study conducted in 2008 by the Roswell Park Cancer Institute, it was found the three raw servings of vegetables belonging to the Brassica family of vegetables reduced the risk of bladder cancer.

Of course, scientists have known that a link existed between the Brassica family of vegetables (such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage among others) and cancer. In pursuing this line of research, scientists at UC Berkeley have discovered that the compound known as Diindolylmethane present in these vegetables has direct anti-cancer properties.

And you can imagine what this can do for the lives of those who are afflicted with a variety of cancers as several more studies have gone on to verify the positive effect that this compound (and these vegetables) have on cancer.

If that’s not enough, scientists are now using this compound (called DIM, in short) to conduct clinical trials for several viral and bacterial related diseases as it is considered to be one of the most versatile compounds when it comes to medical treatments as well.

According to experts, this compound is the only one to demonstrate direct anti-cancer properties, and has been verified to reduce the risk of cancer time and time again through the various studies that have been conducted. In addition to this, it is also offered as an immune system booster due to its immune-enhancing properties while also strengthening the various organ systems in the body as well.

All in all, this compound when combined with others such as Sulforaphane and Selenium tends to bring together remarkable health benefits to those who wish to enjoy a happier and stronger life.

Yet it is repeated research, as mentioned earlier, that has the medical community excited about the prospects of not only being able to limit the growth of cancer but also being able to find a cure for AIDS and so on and so forth.
