“Sulforaphane, an isothiocyanate compound derived from broccoli sprouts, has been shown to trigger the fever response, upregulating heat shock proteins and other related mechanisms. In this clip, Dr. Jed Fahey describes the beneficial effects of sulforaphane in modulating the symptoms of autism and other brain disorders.”

“ASD affects roughly one in 68 people and is more common among males than females. Evidence from a placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized trial suggests that sulforaphane reduces communication impairments and behavioral symptoms in young men with autism.”

“Oxidative stress plays a critical role in aging, traumatic brain injury, and autism. Recent clinical evidence suggests that sulforaphane raises levels of the potent antioxidant glutathione in the plasma and brain.”

“Neurodevelopmental: Increases synaptic plasticity, improved behavior in autism model, reduced anxiety and depression in multiple models. Reproductive effects: Decreases endometrial tumors in females. Causes testicular degeneration in males.”

“Many diseases involving the brain also share chronic mild endotoxemia as a feature, including neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder, neuropsychiatric diseases such as depression, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.”

“Many children with autism spectrum disorder have gut disturbances including a loss of diversity in bacteria in the gut including bifidobacteria and prevotella. Fecal transplant increased these beneficial bacteria and was even better two years after the procedure.”

It exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and may be beneficial against a wide range of chronic and acute diseases, including cardiovascular disease, neurological disease, cancer, and others. Previous research has demonstrated that sulforaphane reduces behavioral symptoms of autism in young men (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25313065/).

“Autism spectrum disorder is a developmental condition characterized by impaired social interaction, behavioral problems, and poor communication. It typically manifests in early childhood and is slightly more common among boys than girls.”
