RoseBP asked a great question: What are the benefits of Broccoli Sprouts?

I should be able to answer this question. The way I have been working is:

1: I read a lot of stuff that convinces me something may help my condition.

2: I add that thing to my stack: rbd-pd-protocols.blogspot.c...

3: I forget why I added that thing to my stack!

So this thread is for myself and anybody else to contribute reasons why we thing Sulforaphane/Broccoli Sprouts may help to stop or reverse the progression of Parkinson's.

On Saturday I will put all of the information together into an elevator speech and share it.

The answer to “why do we take broccoli sprouts?” is complex. But the short answer is that Sulforaphane is a substance which “regulates the body’s response to oxidative stress”. In doing so, it activates anywhere from 300-1000 genes. SFN has not been proven to be a treatment or cure for PD. I’ve been using it for about a year, as part of my own n=1 experiment. I advise anyone trying it to obtain their own source of professional monitoring and support. There is also support available from an HU group which meets via Zoom. I wish anyone trying it good luck and God speed.
