There is no benefit from taking black seed (Nigella sativa, thymoquinone).
Like thousands of other herbs there are no studies about drug interactions.

Hi T – no it doesn’t work and there is no evidence to show it does.
Do it help with hiv patients
Thanks Robert, I’ve seen this paper before and the difficulty with a single case report is that there is no way to show whether or not these seeds made any difference or whether these test results would have happened anyway. The impact of any treatment needs to be looked at in studies with more than one person and to compare people using the compound compared to those you didn’t, preferable with the groups being randimised and double-blinded.
Nigella sativa for 6 months causes seroconversion back to seronegative.studies have been done.
