I have posted about it before, but DIM and sulfurophanes are very weak versions of progesterone. If you want the real solution, "progesterone powder, bioidentical micronized powder", this will lower estrogen and is a fully studied hormone and is OTC. DIM and sulforaphanes are known about, and believed to act somewhat like progesterone, but may have other effects that are not fully known. First thing to determine is your testosterone to estrogen ratio, which should be over 10.

Phil,
Thanks for asking. Firstly, I would like to say I am grateful for your input in this group as well as everyone else's. Secondly, I am an engineer, Last medical (really first aid) training was 10th grade health class and the unit on CPR. So, when I can directly interact with former dentists, doctors and pharmacists and just plain smart well-informed guys it is definitely helping my understanding of many things.

And lastly, I will say I know that my current PC status is unfortunately for many good men on this site pretty enviable. I had my prostate taken out 17 years ago. PSA started showing up last August 0.1 went to .09 then .110 (yes different levels of precision) now .080. I'm not a statistician, but let's call that holding steady for 7 or 8 months

So of course, I am very happy and also recognize I might be in the early innings of this game.

In the last 7-8 months I have reduced red meat (easy as I like fish) reduced dairy (yogurt and cheese a few times a week) I've had a couple glasses of wine and a beer in 2025, Super easy for me to just not drink, I still east way too much sugar, I can easily eat a half a box of donuts at a time, no problem (once every other week?) OK, I lied, a whole box if I'm really out of control Somewhere along the line I got hooked on energy drinks, mostly them now.... but what a ridiculous habit I picked up.

In the past I have taken many supplements. Since I am not medically trained, perhaps I did myself more harm than good.

Enter the dietary, interventions. I've always believed in a balanced diet, half health food, half junk food 🙂 I'm lucky my stomach tolerates pretty much anything, and I don't mind eating for a purpose.

Enter the quest for foods that might help. Tomatoes, broccoli and everything else Hans mentions make sense to me. I thought I would "level up" my game with sprouts as opposed to table ready broccoli. So, I make daily a "smoothie" with a big handful of broccoli and radish and maybe bean sprouts, water, add lemon juice for "taste" and bottoms up. Tastes terrible to me. Almost stunningly pungent.

It might be helping; I'm thinking that besides just DIM perhaps there are also other compounds that are helpful. I don't know???

I'm thinking that a lot of European cuisines feature a lot of tomatoes and cabbage, and there might be some wisdom to that combination, or some sort of generational genetic response (I'll stop short of saying evolution), or natural selection over time to the diet?? Tail wagging dog or dog wagging tail, I don't know. I'm Polish.

There is a study that UI (Illinois), performed on mice with tomato and broccoli that had really good results for a certain group of the rats, they compared the diet intervention to drugs or castration. I'm hoping I'm a lucky rat (at least for a while) Reading these posts I know for sure I'm a dumb Polack.

All the best to everyone.
