Breakthrough Discovery in Nutritional Immunology

Dear colleagues:

I wanted to bring an important discovery in nutritional immunology to your attention. Scientists at UC Berkeley have identified a compound in broccoli that significantly boosts the immune system and as such has potent anti-cancer and anti-viral properties. The compound is Diindolylmethane (DIM).

Diindolylmethane (DIM) boosts the immune system by increasing the sensitivity of cells in the body to the Interferon-gamma protein. Interferon-gamma is the key cytokine in the body responsible for the entire immune response system. It is responsible for mobilizing the body's ability and agility to respond to infections and cancer. DIM has also been shown to increase T-Cell counts, a rare and very interesting activity from a dietary compound, interestingly enough, the exact opposite mode of action as the activity of the HIV virus.

DIM is currently being used to treat RRP tumors caused by the Human Papilloma Virus and is in Phase III clinical trials for Cervical Dysplasia, a precancerous condition also caused by the Human Papilloma Virus. Until recently it was not clearly understood why DIM was so effective in treating these conditions until this groundbreaking discovery at UC Berkeley revealed its potent immune modulating resulting in potent anti-cancer and anti-viral properties.

As a result of this important discovery, DIM, which is currently available as a supplement, is under investigation as a treatment for most viral infections known to man (including HIV, HPV, Influenza, and Hepatitis) and most forms of cancer (breast, prostate, lung, cervical, colorectal).

More information about this discovery may be found by visiting the ActivaMune website.
