We were discharged and decided to handle it at home with outpatient psychiatry. I told our new psychiatrist we want off all of the antipsychotics (right now he is on Abilify) because they do not work and we want to try Verapamil. She wanted some supporting documentation on Verapamil so I sent her Dr Persico's video and your blog. Surprisingly, she was impressed and is in the process of checking with the hospital Cardiology department for it's safety (my son is 4). I am hoping to hear back from her today about it (fingers crossed).JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17769827238808423873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-655962722302095847.post-53996937914290254962014-12-02T22:57:16.846+01:002014-12-02T22:57:16.846+01:00Great news.

I look on the internet for other people who have found it successful. A few hundred have read my posts, I have no idea why they do not try it. I think 2.5ml once a day is the right dosage for my 11 year old. If you have SIB problems, I would try Verapamil. It stopped the SIB within about 10 minutes in my son. It is like removing the fuse from bomb, the explosion just cannot happen. The first time I used it, it was such a wonderful experience, like putting out a fire that nobody could extinguish.Peter Lloyd-Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10173383229834614994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-655962722302095847.post-614920557533153132014-12-02T22:02:50.413+01:002014-12-02T22:02:50.413+01:00Hi Peter, We tried 2.5 gm of SuperSprouts along w...Hi Peter, We tried 2.5 gm of SuperSprouts along with NAC (pharmaNAC -3x 900mg tablets) and saw immediate effects after about 45 minutes. Our son has always had SIB and agression issues, but over the last 4 weeks, they escalated to the point where he had to be hospitalized. So far, this is the only thing that has given him any relief. He still is on edge though with sky high anxiety, but the favorable mood the sprouts plus NAC creates has tapered the raging down significantly. Are you still giving Monty 2.5 ml once a day, or have you modified that dosage? Are supersprouts going to be part of your official polypill?JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17769827238808423873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-655962722302095847.post-19208635329247991652014-11-12T11:52:55.459+01:002014-11-12T11:52:55.459+01:00Monty has some other vitamins/medications at about...Monty has some other vitamins/medications at about 7am in glass filled with water/juice. I just add the broccoli powder to this existing mixture. It does make it go green and have a strong smell, but he drinks it up with no problem. Some kids are much more fussy and then you might need to give the broccoli powder in something else like apple sauce, or mix it in food. I did not stop any of his existing vitamins/medications. Be aware that according to the "experts" most broccoli powders do not have the active enzyme needed. It got destroyed in the processing. This is why I looked far and wide for a good one. There may be many others. It was the euphoria after 30 minutes that proved to me that my powder was certainly doing something. You can imagine many things, but not that.

He is definitely doing well with that, but I want the chatty "Hi Kitty! Bye Kitty!" effect. So,I want to try the sulfuraphane, but should I drop the sulfur? Do you have to wait 30 minutes before you give Monty his other vitamins/medications? I think you got him the powder, but what do you mix it into?

...Hi Peter, I'm glad it worked well for Monty.<br />Maybe with SFN, as with NAC, its a good idea to start with a more reliable source to be sure if it works or not, and to fine tune dosage.<br />I did like the idea of broccolli sprouts, but I'm sure I won't manage to do it properly and consistently over time.<br />Regards,<br />J.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-655962722302095847.post-12412654158140115122014-11-10T21:23:27.123+01:002014-11-10T21:23:27.123+01:00Hi JB.

I half expected no effect from the broccoli because I was already giving the NAC, but the two together are better than NAC alone. So I will give both. I will even look at other ant-oxidants, since clearly the effects are different.<br />If your son has problems with NAC, try ALA (alpha lipoic acid), which also needs no prescription. If GI issues are a problem look at mast cell stabilizers, if that is the problem they work very fast.

I have a 4 year old ASD son that I would catagorize as "classic autism" with delayed speech, extreme anxiety, OCD behaviors, SIB, and GI issues. We tried NAC (pharmaNAC brand) but never got up to the full dose in the study because of some GI issues that did not go well with NAC. I am going to try Supersprouts soon but have a question about your conclusion. Are you saying Sulforaphane should be taken by itself without NAC, or is taking it along with NAC preferred?JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17769827238808423873noreply@blogger.com
