“00:17:17 How vitamin D is likely needed to produce serotonin in the brain and how this may be relevant for the prevention of autism because serotonin functions as an early brain morphogen: shaping the structure and wiring of the developing fetal brain.”

“A paper I published in 2014 explains a mechanism by which vitamin D affects serotonin and makes a case for how this might be able to affect autism since normal fetal brain development requires serotonin.”

“Attempts to disguise the flavor of the broccoli sprout teas used in clinical trials in China eventually resulted in a palatable beverage spiked with pineapple and lime. Children with autism required a more straightforward approach: supplementation.”

“00:23:45 - Autism appears to develop during pregnancy and may be at least partially related to environment. 00:24:00 - Estrogen can activate TPH2 in lieu of vitamin D, potentially explaining why autism is predominantly found in males.”

“In 996 mother-infant pairs, higher cord-plasma acetaminophen biomarker levels were associated with higher odds of later autism or ADHD diagnoses. The objective biomarker strengthens exposure measurement, while the observational design also reflects the medical reasons, timing, and frequency of use.”

“In a randomized trial of 57 children with autism spectrum disorder, a caregiver-rated secondary behavior scale improved and biomarker changes involved glutathione, mitochondrial, inflammatory, and heat-shock pathways, while the primary clinical outcome was similar between groups.”

“Moringa is a tropical plant that exerts a wide range of beneficial health effects. A growing body of evidence indicates that moringin, an isothiocyanate compound derived from moringa, may help prevent or even treat a variety of chronic health conditions, including cancer, diabetes, and autism. In this clip, Dr. Jed Fahey discusses the beneficial health effects of moringa.”

“A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that moringin, an isothiocyanate compound derived from moringa, may provide protection against chronic diseases, such as cancer and diabetes, and may be useful in treating the symptoms of mental disorders, such as schizophrenia or autism, especially in developing countries.”

“Phthalates disrupt estrogen pathways, affecting reproductive health in similar ways. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) Multiple human observational studies suggest a connection between maternal BPA levels and an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders, including ASD.”

Since sulforaphane’s discovery, countless studies have investigated its effects on many human diseases, including air pollution toxicity, asthma, autism[1][2], radiation dermatitis, schizophrenia, cancers of the bladder, breast, colon, lung, and prostate, and many others.
