According to Prof. Saracoglu's web site, fresh broccoli (unboiled) contains some enzymes that must be deactivated. If this is not done, the enzymes which broccoli contains start a different metabolic reaction. The simple way to deactivate these enzymes is to
boil the broccoli in water for 5 minutes. After boiling for 5 minutes, the enzymes will become inactive. If these enzymes aren't deactivated, the broccoli cannot successfully treat those suffering from prostatitis.
He goes on to say:
"Use both the woody stalk and the flowering portion of the plant for the preparation."
I tried boiling only the stalks and didn't get any results. I tried boiling the whole plant and got some results. I tried boiling only the florets and got better results. I tried lightly boiling them for 5 minutes and got minor results. I tried boiling them for 15 minutes and got good results. Next I will try boiling florets for a long time until there is no color left in them. At that point only the water will be useful. So far, the darker the water, the better it works.
I have also noticed results from eating the broccoli, but only if it is cooked enough to be soft. If there is any crunch left it doesn't work. The more I cook it the better it works. If you want to eat the broccoli you could steam it instead of boiling it. I also found the longer I steamed broccoli the better it worked when I ate it. The water won't be as strong if you steam it instead of boiling, but I have had some results from the water used to steam the broccoli. That implies to me that something was removed from the broccoli even from steaming. If you eat the broccoli, don't throw out the water, drink it. For a real Veggie Viagra punch, the water works better than eating. It's also milder tasting for those who don't like broccoli.
I suggest the sceptics should read Prof. Saracoglu's web site and then try it for themselves.
