Update on Nigella (Black onion seed, cumin seed) and Hepatitis
Andy Battaglia:
I've been talking with Ambareen and learned that she has completely reversed the course of her hepatitis by using black onion seeds (cumin, nigella). She used one half teaspoon mixed with honey daily. Ambareen's hepatitis was looking very bad and the doctors wanted her to take interferon therapy, which can be very harsh and isn't even effective on many patients. More about Ambareen's battle with hepatitis can be seen at http://www.thalassemiapatientsandfriends.com/index.php?topic=1147.msg8934#msg8934
I am very happy for my dear friend and wish her continued success. :biggrin
And I hope hepatitis patients pay attention. I believe that the best course of treatment for hepatitis can be found with herbal treatments like nigella and milk thistle.

Andy,
I am so happy for your friend. This is very useful information for our other members who have to deal with hepatitis, I hope that they can also find effective therapy by using this treatment that is good for them rather than attempting a therapy that can cause them to get very sick.
I am so happy that you are better Ambareen, I wish you continued good health.
Sharmin
Andy Battaglia:
I just got some more information from Ambareen. By using black onion seed, she has also raised her Hb and stopped using steroids to combat hemolysis. She has greatly extended the time between transfusions, so this is something that we need to look at for antibody problems. She also says she knows someone who was cured of thalassemia just by using black onion seed. She also updated me on a young man she told me about when I was in Dubai in 2006. This man had stopped transfusing and to this day he does not take blood. Apparently, camel's milk played a role in this. We have a previous discussion about camel's milk at http://www.thalassemiapatientsandfriends.com/index.php?topic=325.msg2277#msg2277 The role in immune system regulation by camel's milk also needs more investigation.
Sharmin, I will answer the question now. Yes, I would like to see little A try cumin seeds daily, to see if it has any effect on the autoantibody issue, and also if it affects his hemoglobin level in a positive way.
We get so dependent on doctors and meds that we forget that for the vast majority of history, only natural methods were used for illnesses. We need to re-discover the attributes of so many natural products to see how they apply to thalassemia. We are seeing that natural supplements play a big role in keeping patients healthy and I think we will also see how herbs also can play a large role.
