PKD DIET

DIMs (Diindolylmethane)

Enjoy DIMs (Diindolylmethane)

DIMs increases alkaline phosphatase within the liver.
DIM (Diindolylmethane) is a supplement in tablet form that is a powerful DNA protector. It is made from concentrated broccoli sprouts. DIMs is an indole phytochemical that contains natural metabolic compounds found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli sprouts. It is known for its ability to deactivate certain types of estrogen that are linked to cancer and increasing estrogen metabolism through the liver. DIMs is beneficial for PKD/PLD and alkaline producing.

Hundreds of research papers point out broccoli as an anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative stress compound, and a detox agent, all of which are fundamental traits for fighting the development of cancer. Researchers suggest that broccoli helps deal with chronic inflammation, which occurs in the body due to the constant exposure to contaminants in the environment, dietary deficiencies, and poor daily life practices that lead the body to work in a detrimental state.

Perhaps it is time to take out the blender or juicer and have broccoli juice in preparation for NMN supplements to hit the market? NMN decrease signs of aging in mice.

Broccoli Sprouts

Broccoli sprouts, contain DIM (Diindolymethane). Dim is found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, brussel sprouts and cabbage. Broccoli sprouts, part of the cruciferous family of vegetables, is rich in sulforaphane and indole-3-carbinol. Broccoli extract naturally contains high amounts of indoles, which are known for their ability to deactivate certain types of estrogen that are linked to cancer.

Not surprisingly, people who eat a fair amount of vegetables, such as broccoli, cabbage, brussel sprouts, kale and cauliflower tend to have less cancer than those who don't consume cruciferous vegetables. Researchers have conducted many studies that indicate a strong connection between the indoles and cancer. These are rich sources of indole-3-carbinol (I3C), which the body converts into 3,3'-diindolylmethane DIM during digestion.

It was found that androgen-dependent cancer cells (such as prostate cancer cells) treated with a solution of DIM grew 70 percent less than untreated cells. However, androgen-independent cells were not affected by the DIM solution. Similar studies verified the same results with breast cancer cells that were estrogen dependent. PLD liver cysts also have estrogen receptors. If you have PLD try eating broccoli, cabbage, rutabagas, turnips, or kale daily. DIM contained in broccoli sprouts are said to increase the metabolism of estrogen through the liver.

Sulforaphane

Sulforaphane is a molecule within cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts or cabbages. It is produced when there is damage to the plant (such as from chewing). This allows the two compounds (enzyme myrosinase transforms glucoraphanin, a glucosinolate, into sulforaphane) to mix and react. Young sprouts of broccoli and cauliflower are particularly rich in glucoraphanin.

CAUTION: If you have a thyroid condition inform your doctor and ask if you can eat the cruciform family of vegetables. Though the latest research points to certain thyroid cancers can be suppressed through DIMs. Ask your doctor before starting DIMs, especially if you are taking any immunosuppressive medications. Before starting DIMs, have your thyroid functioning checked.

Sprouts Better Than Fully Grown Vegetable?

In 1997 Johns Hopkins researchers made a great discovery. They found that 4 day old broccoli sprouts had 20-50 x the cancer preventing components that full grown broccoli had. This became known as DIMs (Diindolymethane). A 2014 trial with DIMs at Johns Hopkins showed it might be useful for autism by directly targeting the affected mechanism. Here is an article by Paul Talalay of Johns Hopkins on broccoli sprouts.

We are  sharing our experiences with PKD/PLD Diet, an adjunct diet envisioning it complementing a physician's prescribed medical therapy. Consider testing this with your doctor's prior knowledge, who can  adjust it according to your own uniqueness by adding it to your current  treatment.
