With the success of a compound known as DIM showing great promise when it comes to the treatment of cancer so far, the truth is that there is still a long way to go when it comes to being completely sure about how it can cure cancer among other bacterial and viral diseases.
Of course, this is where researchers are using this compound (otherwise known as Diindolylmethane) to bring relief to the patients that are afflicted with this dreaded disease. And while the clinical trials are still underway, this means that in being realistic, one should wait patiently even though time is indeed running for many of them.
This compound has been extracted from the family of Brassica vegetables, in particular, from broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage, and has been in use for not only its curative properties but also for its preventative properties as a cancer prevention diet.
Unlike the trials that are being conducted with the treatment of cancer, this supplement has been very well received as it has been documented that the risk to obtain either breast or prostate cancer has been reduced by almost 40 to 60 percent.
And this in itself should give patients hope for the future as the results, to say the least, are outstanding. One way or another, most experts in the medical community expect this compound to unlock all the secrets that are related to cancer among other diseases as well.
