As a Naturopathic doctor, ND, who specializes in digestive/GI disorders I first became interested in black cumin oil due to its long heritage as a way to quickly reduce inflammation in the gut for many of my clients. That was just the tip of the iceberg of its many benefits. According to Dr. Gary Null and NaturalNews:
"Black cumin oil is probably the single most important oil you can put in your system. Every time you take black cumin you are stimulating your immune system to fight on your behalf and increase natural killer cells." Null was referring to its ability to improve the immune system, treat cancer and HIV successfully.
Black cumin is also known as Nigella sativa, black seeds and kalonji and has been healing various maladies of the body for more than 2,000 years.
Although black cumin has been used for centuries, only during the last 40 years has the true potential of this remedy been realized. Originally, black cumin was used mainly for migraines, asthma and allergies.
Now it is shown to be successful in stimulating the immune system, against major insults to the immune system such as: HIV and healing cancerous tumors.
Black cumin is a a treatment for immunity
When you look at the broad term "immunity," auto-immune diseases should also be included. These little black seeds have shown to improve the immune system by 72 percent in as few as four weeks. Two studies were done in 1987 at the I.I.M.E.R. in Panama City, Florida to verify the immune building effects of black cumin. The volunteer groups were given one gram of black cumin twice a day or a placebo. After four weeks, the end results showed a 72 percent increase in T-cell ratios and cell functional activity in most participants.
Black cumin is now a viable option to treat and/or heal people afflicted with auto-immune diseases which are a leading cause of death and disability for many. In 2010, there were approximately 23.5 million Americans afflicted with auto-immune diseases which include more than 80 serious diseases. Some of the types are rare and some quite common like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Celiac disease and Crohn's disease.
Still, black cumin heals more than just auto-immune diseases such as cancer, diabetes, baldness, asthma and migraines. It eliminates parasites and even helps with menstrual blood flow.
Black cumin annihilates pancreatic cancer tumors
Dr. Hwyda Arafat at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson conducted several studies using Nigella sativa (black cumin) to treat pancreatic cancer. The results were astounding with an 80 percent cancer tumor cell death. Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in America with an overall 4.6 percent survival rate over a five-year period. Dr. Arafat went on to say, "Nigella sativa helps treat a broad array of diseases, including some immune and inflammatory disorders. Previous studies also have shown anticancer activity in prostate and colon cancers, as well as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects."
How to take black cumin and dosage requirements
It is imperative to purchase organic, cold pressed oil that is free of additives. I offer a wonderful one right here. FREE shipping!
To benefit the immune system:
take one teaspoon daily mixed with raw honey or fresh juice one hour before breakfast. For immune illness take three teaspoons daily in divided doses combined with a healthy diet and exercise program. Both immune problems and cancer were treated historically with the addition of fresh garlic. Black cumin can be taken daily as a preventative for all diseases including heart disease.
