Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

How can I be concise enough to write a review of a product that literally changed my life, and not bore readers to death? I mean I could write a dissertation on how great this stuff is, I have so much I could say. But I'll try to stick to concise, so I will just say that, while this is not the case 100% of the time, the vast majority of "female complaints", arise from hormonal imbalances, and most often from the estrogen-to- progesterone ratio becoming disproportionately estrogen dominant. Gynecologists, surgeons, and oncologists all blame women's sexual hormones for all kinds of health problems, from irregular menstrual cycles to breast or ovarian cysts, to fibroids, all the way to cancers of some female body parts. But few of them seem to get that it isn't having hormones *per se* that causes the problem: it's that their ratios get out of whack. And monitoring hormone ratios constantly would be too much hassle and too expensive to do. DIM will resolve this issue for *most* sufferers of this safely, without adding any hormones, bioidentical or synthetic, to your system at all. What is does is to metabolize estrogen, and enable your system to regulate itself so those pesky hormones are in healthier proportions again. If I had known about DIM way earlier in my life I could have avoided so much needless misery, because it has resolved a multitude of female issues for me, and judging by the recent surge in its popularity compared with when I started using it 5 years ago, clearly it's helped a lot of other people as well. I thank whichever of the health gurus have increased public awareness about it, because when I started using it, I would tell friends (who suffered similar problems) about DIM and one girl friend who was miserable with an ovarian cyst, took my advice and started using DIM with amazing results, but most friends didn't take my advice. One friend went on the Pill, with some scary results (a mini-stroke). She is alright now, but if only I could have convinced her... I think the greatest reason for friends' reluctance to try DIM was fear that it might not be safe. When my own favorite health guru, Jonathan Wright (MD), one of the country's most knowledgable and trustworthy of the MDs with a strong inclination toward alternative (natural) medicine, gave DIM an enthusiastic endorsement, I felt vindicated and pleased that now more women will be unafraid to give this truly amazing natural medicine a try. As I mentioned, I have used DIM for about 5 years, but I only started using the Nutricost brand a few months ago, and for as long as my heath issues remain status quo, I see no reason to switch again, when Nutricost's DIM comes in the optimal strength for me, 300 mg, and is such a great value for the money, without losing any of its effectiveness or quality. Update: 4/20/19 Well, it has now been over 6 years for me using DIM, and over 18 months on the Nutricost brand, and it's still working great. I noticed another review mentioning that they use Milk Thistle supplements with DIM, which reminded me to mention that, I've also added Milk Thistle to my regimen along with DIM, because it makes the liver's job easier. It then won't have to work as hard to flush the by-products of metabolized estrogen from using DIM out of your system, and it also assists the liver in its doing its job better in general. Update (8/5/21): Now a DIM user for over 8 years, and still doing what I started taking it for!
