      @@freespiritwithnature4384 All cancer cells produce beta-glucosidase, an enzyme which splits sugar molecules with a cyanide group (cyanogenic glycosides, CGs) into cyanide and glucose.
      Normal cells have the Rhodanese enzyme, which destroys cyanide (in low concentrations).
      Cancer cells do not produce Rhodanese, so are much more vulnerable to cyanide.
      Cyanogenic glycosides are found in many seeds. f.ex. apple seeds.
      Some seeds may have very high content of CGs, so it is important not to eat too many.

    I went through treatment for precancerous colorectal lesions for 3 years before I stumbled upon this video. It had gotten to the point in my treatment where my doctor stopped sounding hopeful and had begun sounding genuinely concerned each time she performed the exam and noted that the lesions had returned, each biopsying as precancerous every single time. It was at that point I started searching for videos on CZcams about it and at some point Google suggested this one. Given my science and technical background I am skeptical by nature. I am especially skeptical of nutrition as cure (though I do believe in nutrition as prevention). But the argument she made in this video, backed by very well spoken evidence on the backbone of biological sciences I already well knew to be true had me convinced that this was worthy of personal experimentation. I used to buy broccoli sprouts at whole foods co-ops when I was young and vegan, so I was no stranger to them anyways, but it had been probably a good 14 years since I bought them (usually because the alfalfa/onion sprouts I typically preferred for sandwiches were out of stock). I bought a 1 lb bag of broccoli seeds on Amazon along with sprouting lids for my mason jars and grew the sprouts and put them on every sandwich and salad and in every fruit smoothie I made before my next 3 month appointment that summer. Every 3 months for 3 years my doctor would have to biopsy and then take a blow torch to these purple precancerous lesions inside my rectum. I cannot tell you how literally bloody painful the next month is after each treatment. But that next treatment after putting broccoli sprouts on everything I ate for 1.5 months was THE FIRST time the lesion biopsies returned NOT precancerous. It was absolutely too coincidental not to have some correlation.

      @@smidefix8147 It’s simply eating the least processed versions of fruits, vegetables and grains as much as possible. So a salad would be a great whole food dish - basically raw veggies with washing and some simple cuts as the only processing. An Oreo on the other hand, even though it’s technically made from vegetable products, is pretty much the opposite of a whole food. If you’re interested there are lots of good books on the subject, but part of it’s charm is you don’t need to overthink it. Just walk into the produce section of your grocery store, and make as many of your meals as you can just from that part of the store. Whole grains (e.g. brown rice instead of white) and as little sugar as possible. I started after reading a book called “How Not to Die” by Dr. Michael Gregor.

Worth trying for a few months or do you think absurdly pointless? Because a human wouldn't be injecting or getting as much sulfuraphane as the mice in the study and I think I've heard DMSO is so good at getting things to penetrate the skin it even lets bacteria penetrate it so certainly would get sulfuraphane in the local area I bet.

    I love cauliflower, brussel sprouts, and broccoli! I eat them as often as I can, along with grilled organic chicken or wild salmon. I also love a good kale salad. I take raw organic kale minus the stems, roasted pecans, fresh cracked black pepper, salt, extra virgin olive oil, grilled chicken with garlic and herbs such as sage, thyme, and rosemary. And add a little toasted casabe. What you get is an incredibly delicious and healthy salad. Highly recommend.

    I've started implementing 9 servings of non starchy veggies a day. It seemed like a daunting feat, but this plan works for me. For lunch I get 7 prebagged salads from Sam's club, broccoli crunch and sweet kale. $2.24 each and takes 30 seconds to prepare. They both have a lot of chopped up kale, Brussel sprouts, and broccoli and include nuts or seeds. I might add cucumber, scallions, peppers, or tomatoes. I throw away the dressing and use my own olive oil vinaigrette. Then for dinner I usually do roasted veggies, using the same vinaigrette, with Brussel sprouts, onion, garlic, red peppers, summer squash, or anything I have available. I also sprouted broccoli seeds and throw them in an avacado smoothie for my "treat food". So it's not as difficult as it sounds. This is part of my keto, but anyone eating 9 servings of veggies a day will lose weight because you're less hungry and more nourished.

    I remember stumbling on this video 4 years ago(22/23 years old at the time); I dont know how exactly I found the video, but I immediately went ahead and added broccoli sprouts to my diet and even convinced my mom and we daily drink it for years now. She is diabetic and over 60 now; not very health-conscious in general and I believe it has had tons of positive influence on her health so far.
    As for me I've been struggling with depression since a kid and since adding broccoli sprouts all those years ago my depression has become very manageable. It also had a very positive influence on my cholesterol since my blood-work is similar to that of a "young god", a joke my endocrinologist often loves to make during my bloodwork.. regarding age? I'm going into my 30s now but I feel and look like an early 20 year old still...so I'm very happy and privileged to have added this to my life. I was so into this that I tried to tell and share it with my family or friends but they didnt really seem to care, sadly.
    I'm very grateful for your work and what influence it had in my life. My life is not really a party like most, but at least I can be proud of my health; athletic, no health issues and even passing stools have never been an issue anymore.... haha

      I was like you, I found whole food at 18 yrs when I went vegetarian. I had to stop eating that way after all the carbs and lack of fat put me on the doorstep of metabolic syndrom. That's resolved now due to people like Dr Patrick.

      I just read about sulforaphane's effect on H. pylori. I had stomach problems for decades, until last summer when I was lucky enough to be bitten by a tick. The doctor put me on an antibiotic for 20 days. After two days my stomach all of a sudden felt a lot better. Although the drug he gave me was only one part of the combo to kill H. pylori, taking it for at least twice as long, plus already taking a couple of other important medicines, it seems to have done the job.
      It took me a number of days of online research to finally find the answer. Now I have another way to fight H. pylori if it ever tries to come back!
      Doctors are intelligent, and usually caring, but there is simply too much for them to know, remember and apply, not to mention all the problems that get in everyone's way when trying to do their job perfectly every single day. We must be our own first line of defence by keeping our eyes and minds open to new possibilities.

    Spectacular content. I doubt there is anyone out there who would not benefit hugely from this discussion in some respect, and most of us have many reasons to listen and incorporate sulforaphane one way or another.

    Excellent presentation! Very thorough and covers a lot of areas regarding health effects besides being very scientific.
    Even if you don't sprout: just eat your vegetables, including cruciferous.
    Personally, I love using the steamer basket you can insert in a pot with a moderate amount of water. My favorite "go to" is the lowly cabbage. Advantages: it last longer in it's fresh state (just peel off leaves that get bad); it's inexpensive; and it is easy to chop up. Not to disregard broccoli sprouts pointed out by Rhonda Patrick, PhD, nor the other cruciferous vegetables, but I always have a head of cabbage in my refrigerator.

    I take pride on learning to pronounce multi-syllabic biochemical and medical terms, but your ability to do so with so few edits is remarkable! Thanks for your hard work putting these together! I share these with as many people as I can.

    Brilliant video. Better nutritional information than all the official guidelines out there. And all for free! No one is better.
    Here was my favorite part:
    Inflammation and Aging:
    Although there are no human studies on sulforaphane’s effect on lifespan it does trigger NRF2 and FOXO pathways in red flour beetles. Why that matters? NRF2 is a pathway in humans that controls over 200 genes, many of which are antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and inactivate potentially harmful compounds we are exposed to on a daily basis.
    Inflammation: The activation of NRF2 affects an important protein complex in your body, NF kappa B (NFkB). NFkB is a master regulator of pro-inflammatory response in your body. Chronic enhancement of pro-inflammatory mediators like NFkB accelerates aging and disease. NFkB induces cytokines that regulate the immune response like IL-6… higher IL-6 is a marker of increased risk of cancer and other age related diseases. Sulforaphane ingestion has been shown to decrease IL-6 by 20%, c-reactive protein by 16% and TNF-alpha by 11% (in one study). Higher ingestion has shown even greater levels of improvement. Bottom line: Sulforaphane inhibits NFkB which is a driver of chronic inflammation through the activation of the NRF2 pathway.
    Aging: NRF2 normally activates every 129 minutes, but ingesting Sulforaphane makes it activate every 80 minutes. NRF2 regulates genes affecting cellular aging, protecting cells from cancer by de-activating carcinogens and increasing their excretion; it deactivates inflammatory genes and activates anti-oxident genes; it slows cellular aging by lowering the amount of damage that accumulates within cells. This regulation and mitigation of inflammation is hugely important because damage that accumulates within cells accelerates telemere shortening and causes cells (including stem cells) to become senescent and non-functional making us more susceptible to infection as we age. Telemere shortening is a measure of cellular aging and longer telemeres are associated with longer life.

    Thank for for your awesomeness. I am coming up on one yr post quad bypass heart surgery. Your presentation is so dynamic it should be mandatory for all schools so that the Malnourished Nation can heal itself. Too many sick because of food.

    I tried to cure a tumor on my parrot's neck. You can bring the broccoli sprouts, but you can't make them eat it. He passed away. But his brother always loved broccoli and sprouts, and he is tumor free. Never got a tumor.
    I'd like to add, the brother with the tumor liked sweet (sugar) foods, the brother without the tumor liked salty foods

    I added a cup and a half of broccoli a day to my diet and my inflammation is like so low I’m so happy. Thank you.
