Has anyone tried Black Seed Oil? It claims to help with a lot of things including Parkinsons.

How is it taken and is there side effects?

Kwinholt/Karen,

I experimented with BSO using a total of two quarts of the oil plus two bottles of BSO capsules to see if it had any benefit for psoriasis. The main effect that I noticed is that it made psoriasis worse when applied topically. Taking it orally, it had no effect that I could discern and the taste to me was odd. If I had to describe the taste, I would say that if cedar wood essential oil had a taste, BSO would be it. It was a taste I was glad not to have to take any more when I was done with my experiment.

All of the positive reports about it curing everything you could think of is what made me try it in the first place, but it did nothing for what I was testing it for. I notice that these days, it is also more expensive than when I tested it years ago. I can't say if it would have any benefit for anything else, but I noticed zero effect from a fairly lengthy test of it.

I used it until I started taking B1

[Kwinholt in reply to M-o-ggy]

Did you notice a benefit? K

[M-o-ggy in reply to Kwinholt]

Yes I did. I made notes at the time but can’t access them at the moment. Once I started the B1 I found that I physically couldn’t take it. I don’t know why. The thought of swallowing it made me feel ill. Up to then it had been fine

It sounds like it must have an awful taste. Ya that wouldn’t work for me. Thank you for your info. Karen

since starting C/L meds, I have been prone to instantly feeling queezy to the stomach, when asked if I would like X for B/L/D, (things that I normally can eat,) I think it is something all Parkies may suffer from at some time.

BSO. Did you mean black cumin seed oil? If so, yes I've tried it. Horrible taste and no results.

[Kwinholt in reply to mgregor6]

Yes . Thank you for your response . Doesn’t sound like I would make a day. I have a taste , texture issue as it is. Lol Karen
