Do you think that Black Seed Oil can be used as a treatment for HIV/AIDS

Do you think that Black Seed Oil can be used as a treatment for HIV/AIDS?
I AM SORRY THAT THIS IS LONG, BUT PLEASE READ I am currently doing research about Black Seeds. It is also known as Black Coriander or Black Caraway seeds. It is know that Black Seeds can cure/treat many medical ailments. Well in my Biology class, we were learning about adaptation, and an example is the AIDS virus. When ever this one perosn took the medication, it seemed that somehow the virus would adapt to it. Well since I have heard of Black Seed, and I have done some research, I was wondering if it can treat HIV/AIDS. I know that it may not completley cure it, or that you need to take this for a while to see results, i was just wondering about the possibilities. Based on this info, what do you think? Any comments will be accepted. It would help me if you cite your information (if you can). -Black seed unquestionably has a positive and stabilizing effect on the human immune system which . Moreover, since diseases are the result of defective immune systems, it is fair to assume that the beneficial effects go beyond skin disorders and allergies. Since the immune system has a direct or indirect effect on all the systems of the body, when you are infected by any disease, the power of the immunity system affects the cure of this disease. -Black seed is a safe and effective herb that can be used by almost anyone. No irritations or side effects are caused when the right dose is correctly applied. Its benefits are obtained through consistent use,the effects are medium to long term. Diabetes is useful in the treatment of diabetes mellitus or diabetes caused by an allergy. However it is recommended that the treatment be supervises because Black seed does lower blood sugar levels. Black seed should not be taken by pregnant women if their wombs are sensitive -Mahfouz and El-Dakhakhny, prominent Egyptian researchers isolated the active principle nigellone from Black Seed's essential oil in 1959. There are over 100 different chemical components in the seed. Nigella and melatin are two ingredients in Black Seed that contribute greatly to its highly diversified powers. These substances work together to provide the digestive benefits that have been revered in Black Seed. They also promote cleansing and assist with overall eliminating action. Two of the most volatile oils found in Black seed are nigellone and thymoquinone which were fist discovered in the herb in 1985. Nigellone offers both anti-spasmodic and bronchodilating properties which contribute to Black Seed's potency against respiratory ailments. It also acts as an antihistamine which helps to reduce the negative symptoms of allergy sufferers. Thymoquinone contains excellent anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. It is also a strong anti-oxidant and helps cleanse the body of toxins. Both nigellone and thymoquinone work in conjunction with one another to enhance Black Seed's action against respiratory ailments. It also provides a healthy alternative to the more commonly prescribed cortisone based therapies used by allergy sufferers. Black seed provides a rich supply of polyunsaturated fatty acids. These ingredients play a key role in daily health and wellness. They help to regulate the metabolism, carry toxins to the skin's surface for elimination, balance insulin levels, regulate cholesterol, improve body circulation, and promote healthy liver function. A deficiency in polyunsaturated fatty acids can lead to a wide number of health problems including nervous system disorders, uninhibited growths, and skin diseases. Black seed contains over 100 valuable nutrients. It is comprised of approximately 21% protein, 38% carbohydrates, and 35% plant fats and oils. The active ingredients of black seed are nigellone, thymoquinone, and fixed oils. Black seed also contains significant proportions of protein, carbohydrates and essential fatty acids. Other ingredients include linoleic acid, oleic acid, calcium, potassium, iron, zinc, magnesium, selenium, vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin B2, niacin, and vitamin C. A 1994 study conducted in London by King's College revealed that Black Seed has properties that inhibit certain enzymes, which also inhibit the production of certain prostaglandins. This is more proof that the rich and complex combination of elements found in Black Seed work together for a total effect. Black Seed has over 1400 years history of use. Many ancient books and text suggest the following traditional uses for Black Seed. But please note, that these should not be understood as cures or treatments for any disease or illness. Now this is only some of the research that I have done. I have not actually done some testing or anything, I am just in High School. Right now, I am in the stage of gathering information.

you have said it all and did the research yourself, noone can add to that!! at the end we hope so!! there is no desease without cure we just have to dig in!!
2 :
What's the active ingredient? Can it be synthesized or purified on a large scale? What's the target? What's the mechanism of action? What's the effectiveness compared to current treatments? These are the questions that must be answered before it can be used to treat anything. There's a reason medicine doesn't just use things like this. Until you know what molecule is doing what you don't know about any possible cross-reactions, toxicity issues, and most importantly you can't quantify everything since the amount of active ingredient isn't controlled.

Why do Arab people have so much sugar in their diets

Why do Arab people have so much sugar in their diets?
Diabetes, high cholesterol and heart disease are reaching epidemic levels in Arab countries and are more prevalent in in Arab countries than in Western diets. The reason I believe that these disorders are so prevalent in the Arab countries I beleive is because Arabs consume alot of sugar in their diet. Nearly every Arab product i buy is consistently high in sugar to the point that everything just tastes like sugar. for example nearly every arab family i know consumes tea with almost saturated amounts of sugar. Even worse tea is consumed in most cases every hour of the day in most Arab countries. Most of my friends that i associate with some who are Arabs generally agree with me so why is it that people dont act on it. Allah mentions in the quran to look after ourselves and our health. So why dont people act on this. Trust me the epidemics are scary. here is a map on diabetes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Diabetes_mellitus_world_map_-_DALY_-_WHO2002.svg

cause we're fat... JKS, i don't think people put sugar in tea, but coffee. I drink tea not coffee but, i don't know. Some of my relatives are fat and are close to having diabetes.
2 :
Have you ever been to Scotland? Sugar? Why its part of our daily 5 don't you know...
3 :
It's not sugar, although Arabs eat sugar, it's the high level of carbohydrates in the food. We have to eat rice or potatoes or pasta every day at lunch and bread every day at breakfast and dinner. Some people actually eat bread, rice and potatoes in one meal!! Even our soup is rich in carbohydrates that turn into sugar in the blood. We also consume a lot of fat, that may not cause diabetes but it does cause high cholesterol and heart diseases. I understand your point, but for some reason they just do not want to stop (the food tastes too good). My father was lately diagnosed with diabetes and my mom just would change the diet, I fight with her about it every day and her reply is "but boiled food does not taste good - do you want me to feed him hospital food". (OK, I'm not stopping until she is convinced but this is just an example of how people think - mind you, my mom is educated, I'm not talking about uneducated people which would probably react in an even worse way). The tea may be very sweet but not the coffee; and trust me, it's not about the sweets.

Haluww... stereotypical problem.
5 :
i dont know, i thought it was bad how my dad likes 5 teaspoons of sugar in his tea, but then my teacher told me her husband takes 7, and they are russian. it depends on the person i think, not the culture. our coffee usually has no sugar in it. but it is okay in my family, no one of us ever has had diabetes.. we have good genes alhamduillah :))
6 :
One point is what is done with food after eating: exercise. I've noticed that Arabs in the Middle East do have a really high incidence of obesity. Exercise is not practiced like it is in America although America is fast catching up on the obesity scale. Americans are very socially anti-fat too. Not really very accepting of fat people, that's a non-issue for most Arabs Sports are given much more of a priority in the west that helps some people achieve better health.

Anatomy & Physiology Thinkning Questions. I Just Need Alittle Help, I Am Not Asking For You To Answer Them

Anatomy & Physiology Thinkning Questions. I Just Need Alittle Help, I Am Not Asking For You To Answer Them.?
Endocrine Questions to think aboutâ€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦.. 1. The secretion of ADH can be affected by hot or cold temperatures. What effect on ADH secretion would you expect to see in hot temperatures and WHY? (Assume an individual is outside, exposed to this hot temperature ) 2. Adrenal diabetes and pituitary diabetes produce hyperglycemia. Which hormones would produce each of these conditions? EXPLAIN. 3 Users of barbiturates have a decreased respiration rate. What might happen to the number of RBCâ€™s of users of barbiturates ? EXPLAIN. 4. Is it a good idea for a diabetic patient to receive a constant supply of insulin via a skin patch? Why or why not? 5. When an individual is confronted with a potentially harmful or dangerous situation, epinephrine is released from the adrenal gland. Epi prepares the body for action by increasing the heart rate and blood glucose levels. Discuss the advantages associated with a short half-life for epi. 6. Nervous Nellie, who normally appears hyperstimulated and anxious, is given a glucose tolerance test to test for diabetes mellitus. Her test results indicate a high concentration of blood glucose. How might Nellieâ€™s anxiety contribute to this high level of glucose?? 7. Ralph has a severe skin rash. His doctor prescribes glucocorticoids but warns Ralph that long term use of glucocorticoids might shut down his adrenal cortex. Explain why long term use of glucocorticoids might shut down his adrenal cortex.

OK, so I have only taken one Anatomy course so far but I'll give it a shot on one or two of these... 3. I would think that the use of barbiturates would trigger the body to create more RBC's in order to increase oxygen levels in the blood. 5. One advantage of Epi's half life is the speed in which it is used in the body. Once the perceived threat that initially increased the Epi is gone the body can then resume normal activity.
