Anyone tried Black Seed Oil?

@Oliver3 So you think if you just stuck to taking it internally you wouldn't have run into those issues or you think that over time it would have caused the same problems?

I do share the same concerns regarding the omega 6 content. Maybe doing low carb / calories at the same time would help burn off the excess o6. Maybe the excess 06 is providing some benefit?

The problem is..I really did go to town on it. Maybe I overdosed
I just got such relief from it.
I still use it very occasionally to alleviate problems.
I mean you could offset the ration I guess with omega three but I think it may also be a synergetic thing between the thynoqinone and other Ingredients.
It's definitely very potent.
I was forced into the position of self experiment. It's like any substance I guess. Too much of a good thing.
I mean I guess I can only give my experience. It gave me six months of relief and knocked inches of my penis but cured the sphincter muscles...I mean...wtf. the penis has recovered somewhat. Thank God...but it was a harsh lesson in being overconfident with smthg. It worked so well for so long. Perhaps there was a cumulative event. Perhaps good to cycle phases.

I can only say what happened to me. The pots change was like a freaking miracle. Like I would usually have to calculate if I could, for example , walk two hundred yards to the car. Rubbing that into my skin or a swig and that went. Go figure.
It showed me that it's either about thinning the blood or dampening down neuro and vascular inflammation and promoting mitochondrial health.
I used some yesterday to get me out of a relapse. It worked. It tamps down that sympathetic dominance.
Id say if you're going to try, go low and slow a d supplement with omega 3 to offset the ratio

Maybe the the omega did benefit my eds....my flesh is a bit stretchy...even down to, as I said, my eyeballs. Honestly
They hardened. Got stronger. So maybe I sacrificed some stretch for tougher connective tissue.
Regarding the male side of things...it didn't effect my ability to achieve an erection and it's like a stone now...so it tightened things up...whether that is good or bad, I'll have to wait and see. It did stop me being able to orgasm for a bit because of the tightness thee. That's slowly coming back.
I did have to buy a pump to , use vibration and manual stretching as well as using cacao , brocolli seed extract, contrast heat. I'd say I've regained an inch.


Sorry to be so detailed but you wanted explanations so I thought I'd give the brutal truth.
TBH, it's been hard to live with what happened but the m.e. kinda makes sex pointless anyway

I did, I got a big boost in sensory clarity and mental clarity but it was a disaster for my digestive system so I couldn't keep using it and who knows if those effects would have lasted. The effects on my guts didn't do my mood any benefits either past the initial boost before it completely did my guts in.

Hey as a PFS (more like post-saw palmetto syndrome but about the same exact thing happened, I didn't take fin) patient that got screwed by saw palmetto which plummeted me all the way to severe I think it's important people on a medical forum bring up that part when it comes to side effects from things. Mine is finally after an over year long battle functional again at a normal level and I no longer have the numbness down below or on my skin anywhere at all. Those anti-androgens aren't anything to mess with and some people can get harmed by things you won't even expect. There are people who have been harmed like this by supplementing zinc or copper. I think you just don't hear about these things often because it's a highly embarrassing topic to talk about for many people. Just search around for "*supplement* erectile/libido" and you'll find plenty of scattered reports on a surprising amount of things that people tanked their sexual functioning with.

When I took black seed oil it was pretty early on after that severe crash though so I wasn't really able to tell much on it effects in that department. The only thing that was able to turn the thing on during an isolated window during that crash early on was tongkat but it otherwise made me feel terrible and I still had no actual libido so it felt very strange and I never touched the stuff again. Osha root was the only thing that sparked it back online again and then after that I wrestling with integrating D3 again for literally months until I was able to integrate it after rebounding from some doses of calcifediol and getting on a stable daily dose of 2500 iu of the vegan form. That's where I really started seeing some progress.

There is a lot of components that make everything down there work though, it's hard to know when someone gets ED or completely tanks their libido and functioning what is going on. I personally don't know what was wrong with me besides I never want to experience whatever happened ever again.

Would also consider foremost medications. In my case, black seed oil showed no distinct effects, additional to my anyway comprehensive supplementation.

Started with it a year before my main remission of a walking-disability from PAD, 3 years latter had remission from constant PEMs. In total took 2.9 g/d of black seed oil for 10 years (up to 5 g/d for a year), and before I quit again last year again. Along with 2.6 g/d of ground black seed for 9 years.

Hey thanks for the support and I agree. It's just maddening that it has such a profound effect on my pots and orthastic intolerance. But I don't know if it was too much of a good thing or just is inherently damaging for some people.
I just use it occasionally topically now when that construction feeling in my neck is too strong but even then I'm wary.

We're forced into this position out of desperation so I hope you don't give yourself a difficult time.

There's some supplements I still use. It literally puts the trial into trial and error sometimes

 

[Oliver3]

Just shows how Individual our needs are.
I remember at the time I started this OMF were kissing with a French group who were experimenting with thynoqinone which is believed to be the major beneficial ingredient of black seed oil.
I wonder what happened with that
