Clinical Focus: Sulforaphane, A Shield Against Many Cancers, Part 1
July 6, 2016
Sulforaphane is one of the most exciting nutrients in the integrated medicine repertoire. It is chemo-preventive—it provides a shield against many cancers. It also may be neuro-protective, counteracting stroke, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson’s Disease and Alzheimer’s Disease. It has the advantage, unlike other known anti-inflammatory nutraceuticals, to readily cross the blood-brain barrier. In a recent study, it was found to enhance behavioral and verbal performance in autistic subjects. Why is it a bad idea to overcook broccoli and other cabbage family vegetables? What if you suffer gas and bloating or can’t stand the bitter taste of raw cruciferous vegetables? What does the research say about the bio-availability of sulforaphane supplements? Can sulforaphane supplements or cruciferous vegetables damage the thyroid? Click HERE for part 2.

A Promising Neuro-Protective Nutraceutical, Part 1
June 30, 2016
Luteolin is a promising neuro-protective nutraceutical, with possible applications to a wide variety of disorders: autism, migraines, multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), CFS/fibromyalgia, "brain fog,” multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, and even cancer. Dr. Theoharis Theoharides is Director of Molecular Immunopharmacology and Drug Discovery at Tufts University School of Medicine. He explains the possible connection between autism and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome: histamine and cytokines disrupt the blood-brain barrier, cause leaky gut, and allow influx of toxins and autoantigens which result in brain inflammation and damage to neural repair mechanisms. Luteolin, a flavonoid found in a variety of plants, offers a means of curbing mast cell activation in the brain. The product NeuroProtek was formulated by Alginot to maximize luteolin's bio-availability for brain applications. Dr. Theoharides describes extensive research which validates the plausibility for use of luteolin in neuro-behavioral disorders; large-scale clinical trials are planned. A new formulation called “BrainGain” promises to amplify luteolin’s protective effects. Click HERE for part 2.
