Broccoli Sprouts; how they can protect your cells

Nov 19, 20244 min read

My journey into the world of broccoli sprouts began in 2020, during the lockdown period. Gary and I found ourselves with ample time to explore and learn about health and nutrition. One day, the Joe Rogan podcast had Rhonda Patrick talking about sulforaphane and its incredible health benefits. At the time it was a plethora of scientific terms like myrosinase, glucoraphanin, and sulforaphane. It took considerable time and effort to grasp and remember these concepts, but the process was incredibly enlightening and we began to incorporate broccoli sprouts into our daily diet and still do to this day.

At the time I did countless hours of research and posted my findings on our website Distinctive Originals which can be found here.

Fast forward to today's world. I was watching a video that Dr. Philip McMillan posted about excess deaths and particularly blood clots from spike protein. This is extremely concerning as more and more evidence is arising of the negative effects from the C19 vaccine. The real science is still investigating the connection and more studies need to be done but it's worth noting that these small sprouts could be quite significant, especially when it comes to protecting ourselves from spike proteins.

Scientists are still investigating all the details, but current evidence suggests that sulforaphane could be a valuable ally in protecting us from spike protein-related cell damage. It's a promising area of research.

Broccoli sprouts contain a remarkable compound called sulforaphane. This compound acts as a powerful ally for our bodies. When we consume these sprouts, sulforaphane activates our body's defense system. It's quite impressive - it stimulates our cells to produce more antioxidants, which essentially create protective barriers around our cells, shielding them from potential damage.

But sulforaphane's benefits don't stop there. It's also excellent at combating inflammation.

You're probably aware that sometimes our body can overreact to certain stimuli, causing inflammation. Sulforaphane helps regulate this response, particularly when it comes to the inflammation that spike proteins can trigger.

One of the most notable aspects of sulforaphane is its ability to protect our blood vessels. These vessels can be particularly vulnerable to spike proteins, but sulforaphane acts as a protective agent, helping to keep them safe. It also performs an impressive balancing act with ACE2 receptors. Without delving too deeply into the technical aspects, it essentially helps manage how spike proteins interact with our cells.

Regarding these ACE2 receptors, they're present throughout our body - in our lungs, heart, blood vessels - and they typically play a crucial role in regulating blood pressure and inflammation. The challenge is that spike proteins can use these receptors to enter our cells. This is where sulforaphane's role becomes particularly important: it helps manage the number of these receptors available, effectively controlling the potential entry points for spike proteins.

This balancing act is quite sophisticated. It ensures we maintain enough ACE2 receptors for their normal functions while potentially reducing the entry points for spike proteins. It's comparable to having a well-managed entry system, controlling access effectively.

Incorporating broccoli sprouts into your diet is relatively straightforward. You can start with a small amount and gradually increase if desired. For maximum benefit, it's best to eat them raw or lightly steamed.

It's important to note that while broccoli sprouts are generally considered safe, it's always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional if you have any existing health conditions or are taking medications. Additionally, ensure you're sourcing your sprouts from a reputable supplier to minimize any risk of foodborne illness.

What are your thoughts on this? Would you consider adding broccoli sprouts to your meals? It could be a simple yet effective way to support your health.

Important information regarding supplementing to counter the effects of spike

*If you are interesting in using broccoli sprouts to counter the effectives of spike please read the following disclaimer.

The duration for consuming high doses of broccoli sprouts to counter spike protein effects is not definitively established in current research. Studies on sulforaphane, the key compound in broccoli sprouts, have shown promising results in protecting against viral infections and reducing inflammation, but specific timelines for countering spike protein effects are not clearly defined.

Research indicates that sulforaphane's benefits are primarily due to its activation of the Nrf2 pathway, which enhances antioxidant defenses and reduces oxidative stress. This activation can occur relatively quickly, with some effects observable within days or weeks of regular consumption. However, the full extent of its protective effects, especially against complex issues like spike protein damage, may require longer-term consumption.

Some studies have shown positive effects from sulforaphane supplementation over periods ranging from a few weeks to several months. For instance:

A randomized, double-blind study on smokers showed effects of broccoli sprouts on nasal antiviral responses after just 4 days of consumption.
Other research has explored sulforaphane's effects over periods of 30 days to 3 months, showing improvements in various health markers.

It's important to note that while sulforaphane shows promise, there's no established "cure" or definitive treatment duration for spike protein effects. The optimal duration and dosage would likely vary based on individual factors such as overall health, severity of symptoms, and other treatments being used.

Additionally, researchers emphasize the need for more studies to determine safe and effective doses of sulforaphane in humans. While broccoli sprouts are generally considered safe as a food, high doses of sulforaphane supplements should be approached with caution and preferably under medical supervision.

For those interested in incorporating broccoli sprouts into their diet for potential health benefits, it's generally recommended to start with moderate amounts and maintain consistent consumption over time. As with any significant dietary change, especially for therapeutic purposes, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional, particularly for individuals with pre-existing health conditions or those taking medications.
