Why Does Sulforaphane Cure Autism Symptoms?

from Dr. Berg’s Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting Podcast · host Dr. Eric Berg DC

Today we’re going to talk about the potential benefits of sulforaphane for autism. Sulforaphane is a natural chemical in cruciferous vegetables and other vegetables. Sulforaphane can be beneficial for other conditions as well, including: • H. pylori • HIV • Hepatitis C and B • SARS-CoV-2 People with autism have a low antioxidant capacity, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation. One of the lowered antioxidants is glutathione. Lowered glutathione is also involved in conditions other than autism, including: • COPD • Alzheimer’s • Parkinson’s • Cancer • Autoimmune diseases • ADHD • Bipolar disorder • Schizophrenia • H. pylori • HIV A certain protein called Nrf2 is the master regulator of all of the antioxidants your body makes, including glutathione. This protein also activates detoxification enzymes, helps regulate T helper cells, and helps protect against oxidation and oxidative stress. Things that inhibit Nrf2: • High-sugar diets • Lack of sleep • Stress • Glyphosate • Alcohol • Smoking • Toxins • Medications • Infections • Gene alterations Things that trigger Nrf2: 1. Sulforaphane 2. Selenium, cysteine, glutamine, and tryptophan 3. NAC 4. Glutathione 5. Prolonged fasting 6. Cruciferous and sulfur vegetables 7. Alpha-lipoic acid 8. Vitamins A, C, D, E, and zinc 9. Milk thistle 10. Exercise 11. EGCG (green tea) 12.
