When it comes to exploring alternative or holistic health practices, consumers should engage in extensive due diligence guided by a qualified healthcare professional. Health is an intensely personal matter. But what happens if the online platforms prevent that due diligence?

An Op-Ed published by two M.D.s in the Journal of the American Medical Association essentially calls for on- and off-line censorship of what the authors decry as health or medical misinformation. The latter apparently mean quashing any discussion of approaches outside the conventional Big Pharma paradigm or surgical interventions.
Conventional western medicine tends to focus on treating symptoms, rather than the underlying condition, with pharmaceutical drugs. These meds often come with severe side effects, causing some patients to seek alternative healthcare. In a New York Times Op-Ed, a cardiologist appears to suggest that the Big Tech search engines should censor any “fake medical news” that raises questions about the efficacy of pharmaceutical drugs.
Several months ago, about 50 heavily armed cops temporarily shut down the Dr. Farrah Agustin-Bunch Natural Medical Center in the Philippines. That country’s Food and Drug Administration, without granting any due process, apparently authorized the raid.
The broccoli sprouts superfood have become a rapidly growing, as it were, topic of conversation on alternative health-related Internet platforms.
Broccoli sprouts are said to be rich in a substance called sulforaphane, a potent anti-oxidant. Broccoli sprouts proponents claim that sulforaphane is a anti-cancer compound and provide many other health benefits. Sprouts apparently contain far more sulforaphane than regular broccoli.
According to the DrAxe website, “Sulforaphane from broccoli sprouts is associated with heart health, strong bones, fighting H. pylori infection, detoxification, respiratory health, support in multiple sclerosis, and even brain protection from traumatic injury or stroke.”
You can easily find instructions, with some variations, all over web about how to easily grow broccoli sprouts at home.
Shorthand version: obtain organic broccoli seeds from an online retailer. Soak about two or three tablespoons in a mason jar with a sprouting lid over night, and then rinse and drain (at an angle) for about five days or so, and you should be good to go.
As a practical matter so far, getting all the seeds to germinate has proven challenging, as is trying to separate them efficiently after the process is completed. But that constitutes a minor consideration.
Broccoli sprouts are almost tasteless, and you can eat them raw, add them to salads, or use them in smoothies, etc.
As with any and all diet-related considerations, be sure to do your own through research and due diligence before even considering adding broccoli sprouts to your nutrition regimen.
