    Episode 216: High Dose Vitamin D As a Treatment for Autoimmune Diseases

    Episode 216: High Dose Vitamin D As a Treatment for Autoimmune Diseases

    This week's podcast is pretty interesting.  It's on the use of mega-dosing with Vitamin D3 to treat autoimmune diseases.  John Gildea and his wife have birthdays a week apart.  Some of us at Mara Labs took them out for a birthday dinner recently, and while there, his wife told me she takes 30,000 IUs of Vitamin D3 with K2-mk7 each day, which is not recommended for most people.  In the podcast, we discuss the paper below, as well as D3's link to cancer.

    The Deception Around Broccoli Supplements

    The Deception Around Broccoli Supplements

    All broccoli supplements want consumers to believe they have sulforaphane in the capsule.  But there are only two that actually do. One of them is Prostophane from France, which uses harsh chemical solvents to isolate sulforaphane.  BrocElite is the other, and is the only naturally derived, stabilized sulforaphane product on the market.

    Sulforaphane's Role in Detoxification

    Sulforaphane's Role in Detoxification

    Detoxification is often called detox or flushes or cleanses.  Most of the commercially available flushes or cleanses are often offered by health “gurus” but don’t have research that shows how well they work.  Dr. Gildea and Dr. Katz recommend limiting your exposure to toxins by eating organic, avoiding the “dirty dozen,” and filtering your drinking water with a reverse osmosis filter.  They also suggest avoiding GMOs that have glyphosate and gluten which both open your tight junction barrier.

    The Synergistic Benefit of Combining Sulforaphane and Curcumin

    Sulforaphane is the best natural compound at activating of Nrf-2, the anti-inflammatory pathway.  Curcumin is the best natural molecule at turning off the pro-inflammatory pathway Nf-kb. 

    Together, they work in synergy, were their combined benefit is larger than the sum of their individual benefits.
