Sulforaphane: The Cure to Autism

Post Reply New Topic

Based on the responses, I'm guessing no one here is actually using/has used the stuff. I'm considering it.

I'd use that stuff just to guard myself from osteoporosis.

Can't work because 'autism' is a collective term for many different problems which cause people to be on their own. But of course it's nothing wrong with eating some more cabbage.

We need our veggies anyway.

And ...with some autistics a more balanced diet might indeed clear up their heads in a way that might cause them to be more socially successful (ie to act less autistic).

But I cant believe that autism would be banished from the earth if everyone on the planet just started taking sulforaphane capsules and ate more broccoli.

I eat lots of broccoli. I’m still nuts

So what WP member has actually tried this stuff?

Apparently it is a dietary food supplement, so I do not think it is prescription medicine. I suspect it is available at a health food store or on Amazon. A quick search showed several types. Here is one of many.

Sulforaphane Supplement 75mg

I am not sure how to make the conversion from µmol to mg, to see if the supplement is in the right range of concentration.

Anyways if any WP member has tried this stuff, what effects did they detect? Will you give it an overall thumbs up or thumbs down?

I have not yet. But I am considering it. So I am interested in the experiences of any members that have experimented with it and what their experiences where/are.

I took sulforaphane daily for years as part of a supplement to help me metabolize estrogen. The supplement worked really well for that, which is why I took it for so long. The study above involved only men (moderate to severe) and mentioned that they thought it might work better in autistic people who experience a decrease in symptoms when they have a fever, and that’s not me. I was taking it when I was still deeply in denial about my social problems and masking was all I knew (I am undiagnosed). While I was taking it I had a lot going on: multiple chronic conditions flaring up, gut dysbiosis, my first job where I had to work in an office. My stress and anxiety levels were super high, my sensory issues were the worst they’ve ever been and I had a burnout/regression that lasted over a year. Did it help? I don’t know. Maybe things would’ve been worse if I wasn’t taking it. I’m over my burnout now but I don’t have estrogen dominance anymore either so I’ve stopped taking that supplement. Sorry this isn’t very helpful but I can say it wasn’t some magical cure for my issues.

awe jesus they are actualy thinking to cure something thatis inhereted genetically .
am not thinking this is a smart thing , yes i know , wanting to cure this stuff for a long time .
but am not sure a number of genetic strings are /is going to be very well altered by a supplement.
find myself not appreciating the logic paths of a NT person .. and yes amgoing to say , it appears as a defect in the human condition . if am hypersensative so be it... do not enjoy watching others struggle or in pain...my condition has allowed me largely abilities am not readilyseeing in NT population .Irrefutable logic paths not appparently noticed by NT people .

Well, I am an experimenter by nature, that is part of being an INTJ. I bought a bottle of Sulforaphane (Broccoli Seed Extract) + BioPerine from Smoky Mountain Nutrition using Amazon. It arrived yesterday and I took one capsule last night.

My initial observations were
1. Visually, everything seemed brighter with finer detail.
2. I had a really good nights sleep.

Those observations are very subjective.

Granted I am an extremely poor subject for this experiment because I shed stress very quickly and efficiently.

Good luck. At least it's a capsule form. If you were just getting it from cruciferous vegetables you might be the first people to ever fart their autism away--and all your friends, too.
