Interesting. Fermented Broccoli Sprouts Sauerkraut - cultured.guru/blog/fermente...

I eat a bowl of broccoli sprouts every morning. Sprouting is cheap and easy. rbd-pd-protocols.blogspot.c...

Hi Bolt! I knew you were going to respond, hahaha. I wish my husband was a kind of guy like you. . .a go getter that you are. Unfortunately, I do all the searching and buying. I don't have the time for home made broccoli sprouting. Do you think this supplement is a good substitute for the real thing? Thanks!

[Bolt_Upright in reply to Despe]

It might be okay. If I was not able to sprout, I would use this stuff I used before I started sprouting: KOYAH - Organic USA Broccoli Sprout Powder (1 Scoop = 1/4 Cup Sprouts): 36 Servings, Freeze-Dried, Tested for Active Myrosinase and Glucoraphanin (Sulforaphane Glucosinolate), Great in Smoothies amazon.com/gp/product/B082Z...

You can just mix a scoop in a cup of warm water. Or just throw a scoop in your mouth

It won't hurt. I went down the rabbit hole of glucoraphanin/sulphoraphane for a while. I still eat a lot of broccoli sprinkled with mustard seeds; I try to eat a serving every day.

But I would say for massive payoffs for pd focus on the best possible sleep, good distress management and a variety of exercises that challenge the mind and raise heart rate. I'll take a great night of sleep over 100 days of broccoli sprouts

[Despe in reply to Squarepushr]

Sure thing. I am old in this game and HU--been there done that. Thank you!

[Despe in reply to Squarepushr]

May I ask when you were diagnosed with PD? Thank you.

[Despe in reply to Squarepushr]

Less than 5 y? You are in your "honeymoon." 😀

[Squarepushr in reply to Despe]

Oh honey, this is no honeymoon

I often eat steamed broccoli: delicious!

[Despe in reply to michelagvolpe]

We do, too. I usually bake wild caught shrimp (loaded with butter, oregano, thyme and rosemary) to go along with broccoli and baked sweet potatoes with lots of Irish butter. Remember to add mustard seed ground to your broccoli.

[Bolt_Upright in reply to michelagvolpe]

The sprouts have 100 times the sulforaphane as adult broccoli. Cooking degrades the sulforaphane. It is delicious though.

[Despe in reply to Bolt_Upright]

Yes, I know. That is why I was considering the supplement.

[Bolt_Upright in reply to Despe]

I was reminding michelagvolpe

It's not a big deal to make broccoli sprouts. Just pour water over 2 T ofseeds in a quart jar. Let's sit overnight. Rinse in the morning and let drain for a few hours. Rinse again a couple more times a day. Do the rinsing for 5 to 7 more days and voila, you have broccoli sprouts. Buy the quart jars with a mesh screen cover and the rack on Amazon. I have two friends that eat them religiously having had stage 3 and stage 4 cancers respectively.

[Despe in reply to Chillla]

Thanks. However, as the sole care giver, I don't have time even for my personal needs.

[Chillla in reply to Despe]

I totally get it. I have Parkinson's and have been my husband's caretaker (with Parkinson's) before his passing last month. Under such circumstances caretaking was the hardest thing I'veever had to do. It's not easy under any circumstances. He had surgery for bladder cancer in April this year so I was making the sprouts a priority so it wouldn't come back. Sprouts are an an anticancer food. The doctor found no cancer in his system at last check. Take a minute or two out of every day for yourself. It's a must. All the best.

[Despe in reply to Chillla]

Sorry for your husband's passing.

For anyone interested in effortless broccoli sprouts there is a company called Hamama, they come enclosed in a paper wrap, you put them in a tray and add water and they sprout 100% of the time. You can join a subscription delivery. They have a variety of spouts. 100% fool proof.

[Despe in reply to Ghmac]

Thank you.

Have you tried the broccoli seed tea by Wriga?

[Despe in reply to Millbrook]

No, hubby has not tried it
