broccoli sprouts sulfuraphane

Date: January 16, 2013 11:24PM I just started sprouting in an attempt to rid myself of H. Pylori. According to wiki on broccoli sprouts;
"Eating the raw, unsprouted seed could provide high amounts of sulforaphane, but seeds also contain the antimetabolite erucic acid, which is metabolized during sprouting, so eating seeds is not recommended." I was hoping someone here would know at what point would it be safe to consume broccoli sprouts? That is when is the erucic acid in the seeds completely gone? Is it once the roots start to show - 3rd day sprouting? Or do I have to wait until I have the complete sprout - 5 - 6 days? I'm trying to get the sulforaphane in my diet and on a daily consistent basis until this bacteria is gone. It would free up my time if I don't have to sprout for so long. Thanks.

As always consult a professional before adding any herbs or supplements to your lifestyle. [www.natuhealth.co.uk] Re: broccoli sprouts sulfuraphane

Broccoli sprouts are fine and I consider them a food. H. pylori responds favorably to antibiotics, so maybe look into a natural ones? Re: broccoli sprouts sulfuraphane

I don't think you have to have the erucic acid completely gone in order to safely consume it. The quantity in broccoli sprouts is well below the exposure limit. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]. The West article calculates the content of erucic acid in broccoli florets, sprouts and seeds at 0.8, 320, and 12,000 mg/100 g (strange units, I'm used to mg/kg or ppm). They conclude using erucic acid guidelines for canola oil that the erucic acid content for the florets and sprouts is inconsequential but that the seeds would exceed the limit pretty quickly with only 35 g (a little more than an ounce) per week. I'd just go ahead eat the sprouts when they get about an inch long and make sure there aren't any seeds in the mix. Paul Re: broccoli sprouts sulfuraphane

Date: January 17, 2013 09:21PM powerlifer. I will be starting on mastic gum once it arrives in the mail. I've been using your recommendation for bitters. Aside from that; apple cider vinegar, Oregano oil, aloe vera, cayenne, crushed red pepper, ginger, d-mannose, fermented probiotic foods, b12, turmeric, papaya seeds, coconut oil, garlic (lots), vitamin C etc.
I've been adding these little by little as it's not going away. I keep finding new suggestions online but I'm hoping the above protocol should be sufficient with the mastic gum and sprouts added. pborst. Thanks for finding the answer. This is precisely what I was looking for. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
