Thymoquinone Flavone

Black seed oil from Black Cumin Seeds, used in Southeastern Asia as a flavoring in certain food preparations in those areas, contains a chemical compound titled above: Thymoquinone.

In clinical studies this natural chemical shows promise for slowing tumor growth and making certain cancers more vulnerable to treatments with other modalities, causing cell death in vitro. [Frontiers in Pharmacy, June 2017]. Animal studies shows that Thymoquinone protects organs from drug induced toxicity. Intuition, would seem to make this Flavone a possible candidate to be used with Chemo. [Pharma Cognosy May 2017].

Just another Natural to add to our libraries. Am I thinking of adding---no. Just reporting.

I can make some recommendation on how to take the oil. I have found that unsweetened cranberry juice is the best to hide the taste. I put 2 tablespoons of Black Seed Oil in to a half juice glass of unsweetened cranberry juice then you throw it to back of your mouth.. like taking a shot. Do this BEFORE meals so that you do not burp it up. I tested this out for my husband on several juices but unsweetened cranberry juice was the only one to hide the taste.

For the seeds.. grind them and mix with an equal part of raw honey. Not too terrible.. the seeds taste better than the oil.(At least in my opinion)

Not related to Prostate Cancer but in my testing for my husband I found that the seeds help reduce my allergy symptoms.

Edited to add:

The Black Seed I am talking about is Nigella Sativa, we get it from Dr. Fitt.
