Sulforaphane’s positive effects on brain health and autism | Jed Fahey

Parents and care providers of children and adults with autism often report that fever temporarily ameliorates the altered behavioral patterns of their charges. Emerging scientific data corroborates these reports, suggesting that triggering the body's fever response might offer promise as a therapeutic strategy for people with autism. Sulforaphane, an isothiocyanate compound derived from broccoli sprouts, has been shown to trigger the fever response, upregulating heat shock proteins and other related mechanisms. In this clip, Dr. Jed Fahey describes the beneficial effects of sulforaphane in modulating the symptoms of autism and other brain disorders.
