Diindolylmethane (DIM) Scientific Reference 4 from 2002:

Antivir Ther. 2002 Mar;7(1):1-9.Therapy for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. Auborn KJ. 

Human papillomaviruses types 6 or 11 are aetiological agents of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, a disease characterized by benign exophytic tumours usually on the vocal cords. Surgery debulks the tumours, but these growths generally recur at regular intervals. Adjunct medical treatments, aimed at containing the virus and growth of tumours, include indole-3-carbinol or its dimer diindolylmethane, interferon, photodynamic therapy and others. Preventive and therapeutic vaccines hold promise for eliminating the virus.
