It's a poor analogy here, but hey, I'm a dude, so....and a car lover.

We change our oil every 3000 miles right? So, same principal. Cycling allows the receptors to fine tune or unclog with excess E and xenoestrogens. If we don't cycle the E it gets re-absorbed back into our system and possibly becoming carcinogenic.

DIM, vitex, lemon water, cabbage, broccoli, avocados are just a few tools we have at our disposal for healthly E metabolism. (Exercise, massage and filtered water too).

Cycling oil in your car would entail driving around with no oil for part of the time and damage the engine. Receptors don't get clogged by high estrogen, they get desensitized. Cycling restores receptor sensitivity. It's the same principle as why pirates wore eye patches. The covered eye becomes more sensitive to light and has great vision for when they go below decks into darkness and flip up the patch.

Cycling will not prevent enterohepatic reabsorption of estrogens. For that you need calcium D-glucarate. The liver conjugates estrogens with glucuronic acid and excretes them into the intestine with the bile. Intestinal bacteria can make the enzyme beta-glucuronidase which unconjugates the estrogen and allows it to be reabsorbed. D-glucarate inhibits beta glucuronidase and thus prevents estrogen reabsorption.

DIM is for ensuring that estrogen metabolism follows the C2 pathway and not the C16 pathway which makes carcinogens.
