Black Seed Oil
 
Has anyone tried this for PN?

Dr. Smith 08-31-2014 01:27 AM

Internally or externally? :rolleyes:

I have not, and I don't find any mention in the archives. I find a reference to a U. Maryland study, but cannot find the study.

It seems a little pricey, ($24/pint on amazon) but if it's safe (I haven't dug into that)* it might be worth a try.

Keep us posted!

* I just did a quick glance. As with most things, black seed oil is not without risks.

Thanks Doc. I read about it on-line on a thread from the Neuropathy Associations FB page. One woman with one positive experience. Amazon had over 400 reviews on the product. I couldn't find it in the archives here either. Maybe Mrs. D has heard of it.

Sorry.. I have limited search ability on vacation
Now. 3 days of rain and not enough sun
For our solar charger.
If you can find the actual oil ingredient
Contents for this i could maybe weigh
In. Otherwise we wait another 7 to 10 days
When we return to civilization.

We are slowly running out of battery
Charging abillity-- and really rely on
The solar now. Sigh

No rush Mrs. D! I'm having trouble finding much about it other than the amazon reviews and some random internet comments. Looks like a lot of the same comments are being made about grapeseed oil. Both are available in soft gel forms. If you don't mind taking a look when you get back to civilization, I would appreciate it!

It is not a good thing if one cannot find
Details on the contents. It would be
Useful to know the ratio of Omega-3 to 6 to
9 for example.

No informative access is often a sign of
Newness and marketing secrets.

In the meantime you might like Olive
Leaf extract-- our MS forum has a new
Thread about it that you can search "olive"
-- there are medical studies showing
It reduces insulin resistance and improves
Glycemic control as well as killing off
Pathogens that elude detection and
Cause chronic illnesses.

You may want to search for black cumin seed oil. Black seed oil is from the nigella saliva seeds. It's used in indian cooking and ayurvedic medicine. So in addition to culinary application, it has medicinal properties like other herbs and spices.

Here's the link to the thread mrsD mentioned from the MS forum.
I know she can't link at the moment so ...

If you do a google search on this it will bring up the studies:
