What You Need To Know About Diindolylmethane

A cure for diseases such as cancer and AIDS hasn’t been in sight for a long time now, and only way by which you could survive these diseases is by avoiding all possible habits or hazards by which you could get these diseases.

Cancer, for example, would require you to stay away from cigarettes, air pollution and even cell phones and so on and so forth but with the discovery of the compound DIM, found in the Brassica family of vegetables, all this has changed.

Scientists from UC Berkeley have spent almost two years of research on this compound to find out whether it holds the key to a breakthrough in curing diseases such as cancer, AIDS among a host of other bacterial or viral diseases.

The verdict: Diindolylmethane is one of the most versatile compounds in molecular biology that has several applications in medicine ranging from anti-inflammatory properties to direct anti-cancer properties as well.

The latter has infused fresh hope for cancer patients around the world as it is being used with Taxol which is the normal course of treatment for cancer patients. At another level altogether, the National Cancer Institute has also taken up research on this compound to see whether or not an alternative cure for cancer can be derived regardless of which type it is.

Yet the most compelling property of this compound is that it works as an excellent natural immune booster playing an important role in keeping the immune system as well as the organs of the body strong.

Keeping all these properties in mind, it isn’t hard to understand why the medical community is a bit more than curious to see how this compound can change treatments for several diseases with a more successful track record.
