Can isothiocyanates (ITCs) help prevent viral infections?

Compounds called isothiocyanates are derived from cruciferous vegetables such as kale, cabbage, collards, broccoli, cauliflower, and turnips. Recent studies have shown that isothiocyanates (ITCs) are important to enable interferon responsiveness, which serves as a potent stimulator to attack microbes such as viruses. Specifically, the effects of these ITCs have been shown to increase immune cell-killing capacity and resistance to viral infection with impressive results.

Already, 3.3-diindolylmethane (DIM) has been shown to resolve cervical dysplasia, laryngeal papillomas, and warts. It is presently under investigational studies as a treatment for a variety of viral infections and antibiotic-resistant bacteria, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), human papilloma virus (HPV), and hepatitis.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest.
