My name is Lina and I have posted here before,this is my daughter's story and I want to share it with you all because there is hope.
A little over a year ago when my daughter was about to have a partial vulvectomy with a skin graft harvested from her inner thigh. Needless to say,you all can imagine what we went through.At only 20 years old she was facing a life changing experience, a trauma at the physical level and sexual level.
Following a two hours surgery planned and executed by two doctors,the gynecologist oncologist and a plastic surgeon,my daughter spent six days in the hospital bed.She was not allowed to get up for fear that the skin graft would come disattached and not take.Of course I spent every minute at her bed side tending to her and asking God why not me instead of her,she is in the prome of her life. I cannot begin to tell you my heart was broken.
After her release she was not able to drive for two weeks and push or pull anything heavy,she basically stayed off from work for about a month.In the mean time I was hard at work,researching all kinds of medical papers and literature I could find on the web,I aimed at medical data.I remember sitting at my computer for entire days on my days off and for entire nights after coming home from work. I kept on running into medical data found on Pub Med and other reputable sites on a substance called DIM.I researched more and more and ended up purchasing the product which is under the name Bioresponse, I even called the company and was able to get in touch with doctor Zeligs who is anMd,he formulated the product.I was lucky to get to talk to him and get a protocol with the amounts to take for my daughter's condition. At the time my daughter was doing well,the surgery had turned out great,the lesions were gone,I encouraged her to take the product for maintanance to prevent a recurrence but she did not listen.This was in March of 2008,and all the following visits at the doctor showed no VIN.
A month ago we went for the regular visit and the doctor felt she needed to take some biopsies because there were quiet a few little bumps that looked suspiscious she said.My daughter thought this were bumps caused by shaving but she was wrong. The biopsies came back positive for VIN I and VIN II on her pubic area,which was completely covered with tiny little bumps. we returned to the doctor to see what to do about this and the doctor suggested the laser treatments,which would have to be divided in four sessions given the very extensive area.
Needless to say,I went back to defense mode.I harnessed what I had learned from my research last year. I printed out the protocol for the Bioresponse that doctor Zeligs had given me back then,I put it on the fridge and told my daughter that the only way to know if this worked was to try it. It has been fifteen days since she started taking it and the warts have shrunk at least by 50%. Her appointment for the first laser treatment is on April 30th and I hope we will be canceling it.
the protocol the doctor gave me was for DIM 150 to take six capsules a day for one month and then go down to 4 capsules for two more months.If you decide to try this regimen,please follow it religiously.I even call my daughter from work to remind her to take it.Now remember that they have different dosage of DIM and the one she is taking is the DIM 150.Also don't make the mistake to purchase an other brand to save money, Bioresponse is patented to work and is used by the National cancer Institute for their trials.
DIM stands for 3,3'diindolylmethane which is a substance found in brassica vegetables,cabbage basically.But to inhibit the virus with the vegetable you would have to eat like three shopping carts full a day. The bioresponse formulated by Dr.Zeligs is being used by the National Cancer Institute for several studies being done on conditions caused by the Hpv virus.I wanted to share our story with all of you,I know how you feel,there is hardly any help or much information on this condition so I hope I am bringing some hope in your life.I will pst updates to let you know how the treatment is progressing. Below is a link to the fsome of the medical papers written by Dr Zeligs and other doctors.God bless you,
Lina
