Improving immune functions

[fullofbeans]

Well I also made a search and found that there is actually a DIM information resource centre at UC Berkley:

http://www.diindolylmethane.org/

in the clinical application section you'll find that

"When scientists at UC Berkeley discovered that DIM is a potent modulator of the innate immune response system, this discovery finally shed light on DIM's global anti-viral properties, including anti-viral properties against the Human Papilloma Virus.


As a result of this discovery, DIM is currently sold as an immune enhancing supplement and it is under investigation as a therapeutic

for a variety of viral and bacterial infections [..] immune deficiency conditions, dermatological conditions such as acne caused by infections, and multiple forms of cancer (breast, prostate, lung, colon, skin, cervical). DIM's primary immune modulatory mode of action is the stimulation of Interferon-Gamma receptor transcription as well as the production of Interferon-Gamma."

More data and results are neatly presented in graphs in the following link:

In my humble opinion I would agree with R.B to stick to simply eating veg that contains lots of it: broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, Brussels sprouts. Personally I eat lots of organic cabbage (in a veg soup which I add toward the end so it does not gets cooked much. It is just a feeling but having that soup regularly feels really right for me). I also have lots of broccoli too.

Oh yes I do keep on with my Herceptin..forgot to put it in my signature..DIMed up indeed.

I'm interested in the supplement for its estrogen balancing/control properties, but it hasn't been discussed here much at all. Especially as it relates to tamoxifen and the AI's.
