Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine have recently shown how sulforaphane, a compound found naturally in broccoli sprouts and other cruciferous vegetables, may help those who experience schizophrenia.
To begin, the researchers found that those experiencing psychosis had a statistically significant 4% lower amount of glutamate in their anterior cingulate cortex, as compared to healthy individuals.
Glutamate is a brain chemical that sends signals between neurons and heightened activity of glutamate has been shown to be related to depression and schizophrenia.
They also found that there was a significant reduction in glutathione, one of the brain’s strongest antioxidants. What is interesting is that glutathione is made from three different compounds and one of them is glutamate!

Sulforaphane comes into the equation because it turns on a gene that makes more of the enzyme that sticks glutamate with another molecule to end up making glutathione. In essence, more sulforaphane equals more glutathione.

This time testing on rats, the researchers supplemented with the sulforaphane-created glutathione and found that the brains had slowed down their nerve cell firing and behaved much less like schizophrenic brain activity.
The researchers believe that schizophrenic brains may carry less glutamate and thus, use it up quicker. Supplementing sulphorophane on human schizophrenics is the next step to test its effectiveness.
One medical doctor and psychiatrist who has extensive and impressive history treating schizophrenics is Dr. Abram Hoffer, who has used niacin, which is vitamin B3, and vitamin C on his patients. He has conducted several double-blind, placebo controlled human clinical trials, which can be read here.
We also encourage any health enthusiast or health practitioner to buy and read his book, Niacin: The Real Story.
Dr. Hoffer has successfully helped many people experiencing schizophrenia completely reverse the symptoms as well as help many people reduce the severity of the symptoms. He has also used niacin as a way to help alcoholics reduce and completely reverse the cravings for alcohol.

Combinations that would be worth further scientific study on schizophrenia might include NAC (N-acetyl cysteine), Sulforaphane and niacin, as well as combinations that include alpha lipoic acid and high doses of vitamin C.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The Deep State has weaponized healthcare in the sense that most people never learn the true methods of maintaining their health. The preceding information dispels this false reality that an individual cannot be healthy without the mainstream medical establishment. It offers information that the reader can use to make better choices, which are ultimately the primary contributors to an individual’s health estate. With health autonomy in hand, neuroticism decreases due to not fearing for the communication of diseases, resulting in the liberation of consciousness-energy that can be used to positively contribute to making the world a better place.
