What exactly does the broccoli do? And why does it have to be boiled? I didn't get many details from the page above.

There have been many studies since, which probably provide more evidence and detail. But this guy's current explanation at the time is provided in the link where it says "needs to be boiled" (https://www.oocities.org/iastr/eboil.htm)
Quoting from the linked page:
> WHAT IS THE REASON THAT WE MUST CONSUME BOILED BROCCOLI?
> Fresh broccoli (unboiled) contains some enzymes that must be deactivated. 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 BPH, prostatitis, or general urinary tract infections.
> Broccoli contains very important compounds. These compounds can only treat those who are suffering from BPH or prostatitis when these enzymes are deactivated. If this is not done, the enzymes which broccoli contains start a different metabolic reaction so that the efficiency is reduced.
