I received a Google Alert about Swanson Vitamins offering Black Seeds in capsule form. I wanted to discuss Swanson vitamins and my honest opinion about their black seeds. First the quality of Swanson Vitamins has never been a problem. I find them to be reasonable in price and have never heard a bad word about their quality.
1. The ordering of Swanson Vitamins depends if you are Muslim or not. The first product I will review is made from gelatin capsules and Muslims, Jews and 7th Day Adventist do not believe in the consumption of pig products. Also the capsules contain magnesium stearate which is haram (forbidden) if it comes from animal sources and in the case of using non-vegetarian or halal capsules, this product would be forbidden for the people listed above. However if you do not fit into the group above you may purchase this product, but I must warn you that any pig derivative is harmful and should be avoided. How can you expect to be healed by Prophetic Medicine handed down in Islam if you are going to consume the products that Prophet Mohammad, has forbidden?
Description: Full Spectrum Black Cumin Seed ( Nigella sativa ) is an historic panacea
that nourishes your entire body. The history of black cumin as a health
aid dates back to the Pharaohs of Egypt. Its use is mentioned in the
Bible, the words of the prophet Mohammad, and in many other ancient
texts. Today we know that these tiny seeds have over 100 constituents,
many of which have yet to be identified but appear to provide unique
nourishment for human health and wellness. Our Full Spectrum Black Cumin
Seed capsules deliver pure, whole seed powder for convenient daily use.
400mg each - Dosage 2 per day $3.79 for 60 capsules. Swanson Full Spectrum Black Seed Capsules
2. Swanson Vitamins also carries whole black seeds which are halal or allowed in Islam. They are 100% certified organic and are suitable for cooking and using for health reasons. They still need to be heated as directed in my prior articles.
Heating will bring out their nutty flavor for cooking and remove the tartness of their original seeds. These are more expensive costing $5.49, but are less expensive than the oil. Seeds are heated to avoid any stomach upset. They appear to be completely acceptable in my opinion.
Buy Swanson Vitamins Whole Black Seeds.
3. Swanson's Black Seed Oil Vegetable Capsules contain only black cumin oil and are placed in vegetable capsules. Each Capsule contains 500mg of the oil and there are 60 capsules in each bottle. This is a much better alternative opposed to the cheaper capsules in number 1 above. Although they are more expensive, value wise this is better. The oil is 2 1/2 times stronger than the seed anyway. The price of these capsules is $6.99

I am
just so pleased to announce another testimony. I was beginning to
wonder if my time on Face Book would pay off, but these testimonies are
just fabulous.
We just never know when someone will listen to the
truth. I convinced her to order some black cumin oil and sure enough she is just so excited.
Her news today is just out of
this world. Imagine is everyone with high blood pressure did exactly
what she has done. Imagine how your health would improve and how you
could have a better chance of survival.
Here is what she said when I asked if she really lowered her BP in 1 week with using the black cumin oil I suggested, "Yes, Ma'am. I'm not feeling the tightness in my chest or such short breath either. everyday i feel better."
If you have high blood pressure, do not wait another day.

Nigella sativa is also known as black cumin, kalonji and black seeds. It has been used for centuries to treat allergies, migraines, asthma, cancer and more. Now Nigella sativa is being studied for the effects it has on opioid withdrawal symptoms. Opioids or opiates, are a class of drugs that include heroin, codeine, and methadone.
There have been several studies on the use of Nigella sativa on opioid withdrawals and all showed very positive. In 2008 the Pharmacology Department in Abbatobad studies the effects of using Nigella sativa (500mg) daily and found that the use of this herbal treatment not only help to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal, but also cured the infection and weakness problems. Symptoms of withdrawal include: muscle aches, agitation, sweating, insomnia, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, anxiety and vomiting.
Nigella sativa should be taken daily and continuously, even after the withdrawal is complete. While some addicts claim it completely cured them from all desires, further study is indicated before conclusive statements can be made.
Conclusion: Non opioid drug Nigella sativa is effective in long term treatment of opioid dependence. It not merely cures the opioid dependence but also cures the infections and weakness from which majority of addicts suffer. (1)
According to "The Fix" They say it helps them to withdraw, and even to stay clean afterwards.
“I never wanted to be on methadone. I had seen people detoxing from that
and it was horrific," Dylan, a recovering heroin addict from Wales, tells The Fix.
"I tried many different remedies but Nigella seed oil really works, it
helped ease my withdrawal and now I am clean I find it has a calming and
restorative effect.”
Others have stated that "Nigella Sativa" Blessed seed 100% oil' calming and stimulating and
alleviates lots of the physical and psychological stresses of
withdrawal.' This website stated that 2 capsules was enough, but my estimates is that you need more. When you are initially withdrawing off of the drugs, you will need more help. As the symptoms ease you too can ease the dosage. One teaspoon twice a day is more appropriate.
The studies used 500 mg of Nigella sativa and 1 capsule holds only 1/4 teaspoon of oil. Another user reported taking as much as 2 tablespoons per day and that is too much and too much Nigella sativa is toxic. The participant also stated he was told to take 2 teaspoons of Nigella sativa, but opted for more. More does not work faster.
Take the oil on an empty stomach 1/2 hour before breakfast and before sleeping. Mix the oil with equal amounts of raw honey or the juice of one orange if you prefer.
