Defective LDL Cholesterol Becomes a Poison Delivery System: LDL cholesterol acts as a shuttle to deliver Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids to the cells. If this is oxidized or damaged omega 3 or 6 then is contributes to plaque accumulation in the arteries. Hence eating cooked or oxidized seed oils can be a contributor to plaque accumulation. This is why it is not necessary to lower LDL Cholesterol as it is not the
amount of LDL but whether or not the omega 3 and 6 in your diet are oxidized or not.
Flaxseed Oil is natures most concentrated source of omega 3. Flaxseed oil is 20% omega 6 and 55% omega 3. Studies show that when included in the diet of rats that atherosclerotic plaque is significantly reduced.
Atherosclerotic plaque formation in representative aortas taken from low-density lipoprotein receptor-deficient mice fed for 24 weeks with a diet supplemented with 2% cholesterol represented by picture (A) or a diet supplemented with 2% cholesterol and 10% flaxseed
represented by picture (B). Note the significantly reduced plaque formation in (B) group when flaxseed is included in the diet.
Flaxseed has been shown in studies to protect the heart from tachy-arrhythmias. This antiarrhythmic action may explain the lower incidence of sudden death in subjects ingesting Alpha Lenolenic Acid from flax seed oil.
Studies show that patients with cerebral infarction had lower levels of Alpha Lenolenic Acid in
subcutaneous adipose tissue than matched controls.
Black Cumin Seed is for people with any kind of health challenge. The crude oil and thymoquinone (TQ) extracted from its seeds and oil are effective against many diseases like cancer, cardiovascular complications, diabetes, asthma, kidney disease etc. It is effective against cancer in blood system, lung, kidney, liver, prostate, breast, and cervix
and skin with much safety.
Black Cumin Seeds Useful for Helicobacter pylori Infection: In 2010, Saudi Arabian researchers indicated that a large number of diseases are ascribed to Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), particularly chronic active gastritis, peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. Successful treatment of H. pylori infection with antimicrobial agents can lead to regression of H.
pylori-associated disorders. H. Pylori resistance against antibiotics is increasing, and it is necessary to find new effective agents. Nigella sativa seed (black cumin seeds), a commonly used herb, possesses anti-helicobacter activity.
The present study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of black cumin seeds for the eradication of H. pylori infection in 88 human non-ulcer dyspeptic patients. Patients were randomly assigned to four groups. The groups received various
combinations of clarithromycin and/or amoxicillin (antibiotics), omeprazole (anti gastric reflex drug), and black cumin seed oil. Researchers found that black seeds possess clinically useful anti-H. Pylori activity, comparable to the combined use of all three drugs that were tested.
Black Seeds and Honey Work Together – Folk Medicine is Correct
Egyptian researchers studied the protective effect of bee honey and Nigella grains on
the oxidative stress and the cancer that was created by exposing rats to a strong carcinogen. After the four groups of rats were exposed to the carcinogen, some groups were fed black seeds or honey, and one group was fed both black seeds and honey. The rats were evaluated after 6 months. The rats that ate black seeds received an 80% protection against oxidative stress and cancer formation. Whereas the rats that ate a daily dose of both honey and black seeds were protected 100%
against oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, and cancer formation.
Testosterone Supporting Properties of Black Cumin Seed Oil: The Tunisian and Iranian varieties of Black Cumin Seed Oil have 44 to 54% of their sterol content being Beta-sitosterol.[6] Being a steroid, β-sitosterol is precursor of anabolic steroid boldenone. Boldenone undecylenate is commonly used in veterinary medicine to induce growth in cattle but it is also one of the most commonly abused anabolic steroids in sports. This led to suspicion that some athletes testing positive on boldenone undecylenate didn't actually abuse the hormone itself but consumed food rich in β-sitosterol.[7] So by extrapolation, consuming unoxidized, undamaged Black Cumin Seed Oil, you are supporting the optimal production of testosterone. It is also commonly known that Beta-Sitosterol is
very good for the prostate and is found in a number of Prostate support formulas.
Anti-Fungal Properties of Black Cumin Seed Extract: A 5-fold decrease in Candida in kidneys, 8-fold in liver and 11-fold in spleen was observed in the groups of animals post-treated with the Black Cumin seed extract.[8]
Parasite Killing Power of Black Cumin Seed Oil: Schistosomiasis, also known as snail fever, is a disease caused
by parasitic flatworms called
schistosomes. The urinary tract or the intestines may be infected. Signs and symptoms may include abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloody stool, or blood in the urine. Those who have been infected a long time may experience liver damage, kidney failure, infertility, or bladder cancer (squamous cell carcinoma). In children, it may cause poor growth and learning
difficulty.
The disease is spread by contact with fresh water contaminated with the parasites. These parasites are released from infected freshwater snails. The disease is especially common among children in developing countries as they are more likely to play in contaminated water. Other high-risk groups include farmers, fishermen, and people using unclean water during daily living. It belongs to the group of helminth infections. Diagnosis is by
finding eggs of the parasite in a person's urine or stool.
It can also be confirmed by finding antibodies against the disease in the blood. Praziquantel is also the treatment recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). Schistosomiasis affected almost 210 million people worldwide as of 2012. An estimated 12,000 to 200,000 people die from it each year. The disease is most commonly found in Africa,
as well as Asia and South America. Around 700 million people, in more than 70 countries, live in areas where the disease is common. In tropical countries, schistosomiasis is second only to malaria among parasitic diseases with the greatest economic impact. Schistosomiasis is listed as a neglected tropical disease.
When the Black Cumin Seed Oil was given alone, it reduced the number of S. mansoni worms in the liver and decreased the total number of ova
deposited in both the liver and the intestine.
Anti-Viral Killing Powers of Black Cumin Seed Oil: On day 10 of an induced cytomegalo virus infection, the virus titer was undetectable in spleen and liver of Black Cumin Seed Oil treated mice, while it was detectable in control mice. Cytomegalovirus is a herpes virus. This means that it is a very real possibility to use Black
Cumin Seed oil to suppress and possibly eradicate the herpes family of viruses from the human body.
ANALYSIS OF VOLATILE OIL IN BLACK CUMIN SEEDS: The analysis of the volatile oil (essential oil) content in Black Cumin Seed Oil also known as blessed seed reveals the following:
- Cymene: Known to have been used for its local analgesic actions,
in rheumatic conditions.
- Pinene: When taken internally has mild expectorant and colic properties and when used externally has similar actions to Cymene.
- Carbony: Responsible for the antiseptic and anti-microbial properties of the seed. Extensive microbiological tests have confirmed its action against gram-positive as well as
gram-negative bacteria.
- Carvone: Known for its anti-colic and flatulence properties.
- Limonene Can help to dissolve gallstones.
- Nigellon semohiprepinon: When inhaled, or rubbed on the chest, it enlarges and raises the temperature of the bronchi and dissolves cramps, which quickly alleviates symptoms due to bronchial asthma and whooping cough.
Also inhibits the release of histamine.
- Thymoquinone: Inhibits infection, relieves pain, stimulates the gall bladder and works as an antioxidant.
