Re: Dim for triple positive

Dim is Di-Indole Methane, a chemical found in veggies like brocolli. It is supposed to have some anticancer action. It seems to be a weak estrogen that might occupy the receptor and block the action of more powerful estrogens like Estrodiol. I dont know too much about it but will do some research on it. I know little about DIM and triple positive. There may be some valuable info on Pub Med.
