Sulforaphane and Other Nutrigenomic Nrf2 Activators

Broccoli Sprout versus Broccoli Vegetable Much of the clinically relevant Brassica research relates to broccoli sprouts [49] rather than to the mature vegetable, with most of the early work in this field done by a group at the Johns Hopkins University beginning in the early 1990s. The group found that 3-day-old sprouts of cultivars of certain crucifers contained 10–100 times higher concentration of GRN than the corresponding mature plants [49]. With a focus on identifying plants with cancer chemopreventive properties, they found that the sprouts were highly effective in reducing the incidence, multiplicity, and rate of development of mammary tumors in dimethylbenz(a)anthracene-treated rats. Broccoli sprouts also had the added advantage of containing mostly the methylsulfinylalkyl glucosinolate (75% of the total) and very little of the indole glucosinolate found in the mature plant, which is a potential tumor pro...

Nutritional Approaches to Viral Infections

Dr. Rath's approach to a healthy immune response Over the years all cycles of viral epidemics have been fought against and conquered by our own immune systems. Pharmaceutical drugs and medical procedures are not effective against viruses, as they can only help in lessening symptoms of a disease but do not eliminate the viruses themselves. Therefore it is imperative to enhance our body’s natural ability to fight and eliminate viral infections. Micronutrients are essential tools in supporting our immunity and the natural control of infectious agents. In order to protect yourself and your loved ones it is important to learn about the basis of viral infections and how to enhance the natural mechanisms that our body uses to fight them.
