Research by the John Hopkins University School of Medicine has found that chemicals in broccoli can reverse many incurable mental illnesses.
The object of the study was sulforaphane, a natural phytochemical that is abundant in broccoli. Akira Sawa, director of the John Hopkins Schizophrenia Center at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, has demonstrated that sulforaphane can correct imbalances in the chemical glutamate in the body, led by professor Dr. Akira Sawa. brains of people with schizophrenia, another chronic disease.
A powerful magnet has been used by researchers to measure and compare five regions of the brain between people with and without psychosis. As a result, they found that in people with mental disorders glutamate levels were up to 4% lower. Meanwhile, this neurochemical works to help the brain function smoothly and nerve cells can "send messages" to each other.
Therefore, by balancing glutamate in the brain, the sulforaphane contained in broccoli is expected by scientists to help create a supplement that can help terminally ill patients. Specifically, it helps to relieve, prevent or delay the symptoms of schizophrenia, as well as to treat some other forms of psychosis.
Sulforaphane helps balance glutamate in the brain.
Previously, scientists from John Hopkins University School of Medicine also demonstrated that chemicals in broccoli have a positive effect on the brain. In a study done in collaboration with MassGeneral Children's Hospital, they used sulforaphane to treat 40 teenage boys with moderate to severe autism spectrum disorder, aged between 13 and 27 years.
The results were quite surprising when the group given sulforaphane had a significant improvement in limiting behaviors typical of patients with autism. The origin of the study was from many parents' feedback that their children behaved more normally when they had a fever. However, the behavior of people with autism is clear after recovery.
Sulforaphane also induces a "heat shock" response similar to fever, which is a series of natural defense mechanisms that help protect cells from stress. It is this same mechanism that helps people with autism better control their behavior. Both studies by the John Hopkins University School of Medicine on the anti-psychotic substances in broccoli mentioned above were published in the scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.
Autistic male adolescents who received sulforaphane as a treatment experienced significant improvements in behavioral limitations.
Sulforaphane is abundant in some cruciferous vegetables, namely broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower... When we eat it, the stomach will crush it and cause a chemical reaction, creating sulforaphane. This chemical is known as an antioxidant that helps eliminate free radicals, effective anti-inflammatory, protects the nervous system... At the same time, sulforaphane is also used to treat prostate cancer. prostate and some other types of cancer.
