Hpv, Bioresponse Dim And Cancer

Hello,

I am 37 years old and have had a few cone biopsies, LEEP procedures and even a partial vaginectomy (sounds awful but really wasn't too bad). These procedures were all due to cervical problems caused by HPV. Every time (and I mean every single time) I went to the doctor I needed another surgery (I had early cervical cancer and later, micro-invasive vaginal cancer).

After the partial vaginectomy (November 2004) I went back to the oncologist and she told me I would need another surgery. The oncologist recommended laser surgery and we spoke about considering a hysterectomy. The oncologist told me to come back after the new year and we would schedule my surgery. The idea of having a hysterectomy was less than thrilling, so I did some research on-line and came up with BioResponse DIM (absorbable diindolylmethane).

DIM has shown to really be effective in reducing the symptoms HPV. Before going to see my oncologist again I began taking the DIM (300mg/day) for about a month. I went back to the doctor late January 2005 to have a check up and schedule surgery. The doctor examined me under the colposcope, it seemed to take forever and the doctor was unusually quiet during the exam -- I began to worry that my condition was worse than expected. The doctor finally said "you look just fine" -- I was like "are we scheduling a surgery?" -- the doctor said no surgery was necessary. From talking about a hysterectomy to no problem at all -- my head was spinning. I guess my quick and complete recovery could be just a coincidence. We scheduled another exam for June (2005). Again the exam showed I was fine (NOTE: This is very unusual -- I always get biopsies taken and some type of procedure is recommended -- since I was in my mid twenties I have been having various procedures related to abnormal cells, pre-cancer, cancer, etc.)

I continued to take the DIM and went for my exam in June 2005 -- again the results were normal (I am really a happy camper this time!). I decide it must be the DIM and mentioned it to the doctor -- she had never heard of it and just kinda shrugged and dismissed it. I decided I would continue to take it. Another exam was scheduled for December 2005.

Just went to the oncologist a few weeks ago and the exam was normal, no surgery necessary.

I don't know if BioResponse DIM will help you. I just wanted to tell my story just in case it might help someone.

I have dropped my dosage to 200mg (did this after my June 2005 exam came back normal). I have taken 2 different brands of DIM over this time period with the same results.

Wishing you good health,
Donna

Hello,

I have used a few different brands -- I usually just look for the best price. For the last year or so I have been buying Nature's Way DIM-plus from vitacost.

You could probably find it from other websites that feature vitamins and supplements.

Hope DIM works as well for you.
