I’m an adult male who is on the autistic spectrum. I’m about 3-4 weeks in with taking just 1 sulforaphane per day. It was so hard to resist taking 2 per day for so many reasons I can’t explain. Been dealing with autism my whole life so yes I am very eager for this to work.
Other supplements in my stack:
1. 4-5 grams of potassium: Do your research on how important potassium plays for nerve function, neurotransmitters etc. I figured if our ancestors consumed 15Grams then I can step up my intake too.
2. Magnesium. 1-2grams. Again do your research but Magnesium also plays a role with neurotransmitters and other processes in the body.
3. Vitamin D: 10,000-12,000 IU
2 supplements along with 2-3 tablespoons of cod liver oil.
4. Vitamin K2: 300-400 mcg
Other measures:
I drink a lot more water than usual, reduced my salt intake, water only fasts regularly, proper diet, all so that I can ensure that I have clear kidney function to avoid any issues with consuming high potassium.
Also in the process of meeting with a doctor to test my potassium levels, vitamin d levels again so I can document what my exact levels are. Proper kidney function imo was equally important so that I can ensure that I’m absorbing these minerals/vitamins safely.
Now!!!!!! For the moment we all been waiting for.
After 3-4 weeks in something weird happened. One morning i woke up and I came down with a severe fever that lasted 24hrs. I couldn’t sleep that night. Didn’t take anything for it the whole night because of the kidney topic above so I was miserable for 24hrs. Woke up with the worst headache of my life that lasted for another 1-2 days. Again didn’t take anything for (2) days because of the kidney topic above so I was miserable. It’s December here in Philadelphia and I figured it’s that time of year so the fever was not caused by my protocol but due to flu season etc.
But here’s what’s transpired since then. After that i went back on my protocol.
What if I told you something miraculous is happening. I’m practically in tears while im writing this because after recovering from the fever I haven’t procrastinated like I usually do. It’s something I’ve dealt with my whole life. I’m getting so many things done and it’s scary. Because I’ve struggled with this my whole life. It’s like a procrastination fog has been lifted.
I have practically thrown out every other supplement in my stack except for the ones above to make sure this is all i take.
To make sure I don’t experience any other vitamin deficiencies i ordered Moringa supplements to maintain those levels. But I’m not taking any multivitamins because they include so many additional things and i wanted to see if the simple protocol above did anything.
I can’t even express or articulate how many supplements I’ve taken over the years but nothing has made me feel the way I feel now mentally. What I feel is not a placebo effect. Something in my brain is changing.
Please do a follow video and share what happened with these studies. I will continue to update this thread. If I get the courage and somehow fight back these tears of joy I’ll try and make a video explaining what I went through.
Thank you for sharing this research with the world. ❤❤❤🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This comment actually gives me hope man good shit. Any changes socially or how you interact with others ?
Very informative!
Thank you for tuning in! We're glad it was helpful. :)
Thanks for the great content, do you have any research on the supplementation of polyunsaturated fatty acids, magnesium and zinc in children seeking medical advice for attention-deficit/hyperactivity problems?
Also, who can I reach out to regarding getting permission in adding spanish subtitles to your videos?
Thank you so much!
I can't view the slides. Could that be fixed please?
