DIM a nutritional supplement - Cancer: Breast Message Board

Katerina · 04-30-2001, 08:28 AM

Has anyone tried a nutritional supplement with DIM in it? Enzmatic Therapy has one called Indolplex. It is supposed to modify your body's use of estrogen, so that estrogen doesn't become dominant The dominance of estrogen can be a precursor to cancers of the breast and female organs. I have had endrometrial cancer and a hysterectomy. I don't care to have breast cancer. Is there anyone that has first hand information about DIM?

can i ask you a question? If you've had a hysterectomy, doesn't that mean your body no longer is producing estrogen? YOu've had your ovaries and uterus removed, correct? SInce your body won't be producing estrogen, you shouldn't worry too much about breast cancer, in my opinion. have you heard about calcium d glucarate? That helps block estrogen, too. Good luck.

Can anyone tell me if only the ovaries produce estrogen? My doctor wants me to be very watchful about any changes to my breasts. He knows full well that I have no ovaries and am not on any estrogen replacement. I really would like some information on this.
