Black Seeds Cure Everything But Death

I post this stuff because;

—- I am fairly well read regarding nutrition stuff, yet I’ve never heard of Black Seeds, so probably many of you haven’t either

—– it seems to address several ailments facing folks here on TBP … maybe it will help

—– it’s real food, not a pill

—– over the years I have compiled a list of Superfoods … up to about 30 right now … of which I make a serious effort to include at least once weekly …. looks like I’ll be adding Black Seeds to the list … and you might want to do the same also.

WHAT IS IT?

Black Seed is an herb that has been used for over 2000 years for many diseases. It is also known as Nigella Sativa, black cumin, and kalonji. (Do not confuse black caraway with black seed, as they come from two different plants.)

It was Allah’s beloved Prophet (PBUH) who said – “There is healing in Black Seed for all diseases except death.” Black seed oil was found in the tomb of King Tut proving its importance …. of all the gold and diamonds Herr Tut possessed, black seed oil was part of what he chose to take to the next life.

BLACK SEEDS NUTRITION

Black seeds contain over 100 chemical compounds and some of the ingredients are yet to be discovered and identified. The main active ingredient in black seeds is crystalline nigellone. The seeds also contain beta sitosterol, thymoquinone, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, palmitoleic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, arachidonic acid, proteins and vitamins B1, B2 and B3. They also contain calcium, folic acid, iron, copper, zinc and phosphorous. It is nature’s most complete multivitamin.

BLACK SEEDS AND SPECIFIC HEALTH CONDITIONS

Black seed has been researched for very specific health conditions. Some of the most compelling applications include:

Type 2 Diabetes: Two grams of black seed a day resulted in reduced fasting glucose, decreased insulin resistance, increased beta-cell function, and reduced glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in human subjects.

Helicobacter Pylori Infection: Black seeds possess clinically useful anti-H. pylori activity, comparable to triple eradication therapy.

Epilepsy: Black seeds were traditionally known to have anticonvulsive properties. A 2007 study with epileptic children, whose condition was refractory to conventional drug treatment, found that a water extract significantly reduced seizure activity.

High Blood pressure: The daily use of 100 and 200 mg of black seed extract, twice daily, for 2 months, was found to have a blood pressure-lowering effect in patients with mild hypertension.

Asthma: Thymoquinone, one of the main active constituents within Nigella sativa (black cumin), is superior to the drug fluticasone in an animal model of asthma.  Another study, this time in human subjects, found that boiled water extracts of black seed have relatively potent antiasthmatic effect on asthmatic airways.

 Acute tonsillopharyngitis: characterized by tonsil or pharyngeal inflammation (i.e. sore throat), mostly viral in origin, black seed capsules (in combination with Phyllanthus niruri) have been found to significantly alleviate throat pain, and reduce the need for pain-killers, in human subjects.

Chemical Weapons Injury: A randomized, placebo-controlled human study of chemical weapons injured patients found that boiled water extracts of black seed reduced respiratory symptoms, chest wheezing, and pulmonary function test values, as well as reduced the need for drug treatment.

Colon Cancer: Cell studies have found that black seed extract compares favorably to the chemoagent 5-fluoruracil in the suppression of colon cancer growth, but with a far higher safety profile.[x] Animal research has found that black seed oil has significant inhibitory effects against colon cancer in rats, without observable side effects.

MRSA: Black seed has anti-bacterial activity against clinical isolates of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Opiate Addiction/Withdrawal: A study on 35 opiate addicts found black seed as an effective therapy in long-term treatment of opioid dependence.

Pancreatic Cancer: One of the most exciting discoverings concerning black seed oil is the positive results in the treatment of pancreatic cancer, one of the hardest cancers to cure.

Alzheimer: A new study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology reveals that the seeds of Nigella sativa may provide an ideal nutritional supplement for preventing or slowing the progression of Alzheimer disease.

IS THERE ANY DOCUMENTATION TO BACK THESE CLAIMS?

Yes. For starters, you can go to the link below to find 34 scientific studies.

THE BEAUTY OF SEEDS

Seeds contain within them the very hope for continuance of the entire species that bore it. This super-saturated state of the seed, where life condenses itself down into an intensely miniaturized holographic fragment of itself, promising the formation of future worlds within itself, is the very emblem of life’s immense and immortal power. If we understand the true nature of the seed, how much life (past, present and future) is contained within it, it will not seem so far-fetched that it is capable of conquering antibiotic resistant bacteria, healing the body from chemical weapons poisoning, or stimulate the regeneration of dying insulin-producing beta cells in the diabetic, to name but only a fraction of black seed’s experimentally-confirmed powers. Moving the mountain of inertia and falsity associated with the conventional concept of disease, is a task well-suited for seeds and not chemicals. The greatest difference, of course, between a seed and a patented synthetic chemical (i.e. pharmaceutical drug), is that Nature (God) made the former, and men with profit-motives and a deranged understanding of the nature of the body made the latter.

For example, a new study shows that sesame seed paste (aka, tahini) is capable of reducing blood markers of cardiovascular disease risk in Type 2 diabetics by 39% within only six weeks.

HEATING BLACK SEEDS

To heat the seeds, simply put them in a shallow pan and place them in the oven at 325 degrees. Stir them frequently and watch to make sure they do not burn. Or, to simplify the process you can place them in a skillet and heat on very low heat, stirring regularly. You may hear a popping noise which is completely normal. Keep tasting the seeds and when the tartness is gone and the seeds are very bland, remove them from the stove to cool. Wait until they are completely cold before grinding.

BLACK SEEDS AND HONEY

Traditionally ground black seeds are placed in honey. The proper way to do this is to fill the jar 1/4 way with honey and add 1/4 jar of ground black seeds. Keep adding equal amounts of honey and black seeds until the jar is almost filled. The suggested dosage amount is 1 teaspoon daily. Some will add in nuts and ground ginger for more flavor and energy.

BLACK SEED DOSAGE — OIL

Black Seed oil is about three times as concentrated as ground black seeds (1 teaspoon oil = 3 teaspoons ground seeds). If using oil, it is extremely important to purchase “cold pressed” seed oil, as other methods using heat and/or chemicals destroys the health benefits. Depending on the usage or the disease that you have, most dosage requirements are about the same. More is not better. Over 25 grams can be toxic. For general well being take one teaspoon of the black seed oil mixed with one teaspoon of raw honey one half hour before breakfast. Take this once a day.

WHERE TO PURCHASE

Not a recommendation as I haven’t purchased any. But, the site below has been selling black seeds for about 30 years. Reviewers are positive.
