Thank you GP24: I had read that study, noticing that it is dated 2010, which is quite a long time ago...my question wanted to find out if some of our readers had experience with this approach and if it had produced any significant effect.

To Maxie the Taxi,

Note: There are three posts in our H.U. history file that mention BR DIM. Just search and you'll find them there. Good 2025 to you and to your family and friends.

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
