A recent study says that a compound in green vegetables broccoli effective against the ill effects of radiation - one of the therapeutic treatment of cancer.
Besides broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower also includes a vegetable that has an antidote compounds an adverse effect of radiation therapy. The exact compound called DIM (3'-diindolylmethane). Researchers initially did research on laboratory mice. Now they also ensure safe DIM compounds for human nature.
According to Dr. Eliot Rosen of Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, DIM has long been used as ingredients for cancer drugs. However, this time we find a new DIM also potent counteract an adverse effect of radiation therapy. Radiation therapy for cancer patients is powerful enough to kill tumor cells. But unfortunately sometimes the healthy cells also were destroyed.
With DIM, an adverse effect of radiation will decrease. Patients also have a high chance of cure. The results then reported in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
