Dear Subscriber,
Dear Subscriber,
I came across this short unpublished (waiting for review) article which has significant relevance to the information I am reporting on black seed. It is a fast and easy read, showing that a combination of two simple, safe dietary ingredients/supplements resulted in a highly significant reduction in time to resolve symptoms and coronavirus clearance.
I find this rather exciting and it is of immediate value to all concerned.
I have been in communication with the company that makes black seed extract, perhaps the highest potency I’ve seen for the active ingredient – thymoquinone. Previously I mentioned that I am taking 1-2 daily but I correct myself here to say I am only taking one per day. The extract is very potent and the bottle itself recommends just one per day. It is called TQ Advanced 4x Blackseed Oil Extract.
Here is the information I just posted on ordering the concentrated extract from Triquetra Health. Click on: https://triquetrahealth.com/?ref=ROBERTROWEN
Now at check out, you enter this code: SAFETY15. That gets you a 15% discount on your order, whether on blackseed oil or blackseed capsule.
To Your Excellent Health,

BACKGROUND No definitive treatment exists for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Honey and Nigella sativa (HNS) have established antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. Hence, we investigated efficacy of HNS against COVID-19. wide
METHODS We conducted a multicenter, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial at 4 centers in Pakistan. RT-PCR confirmed COVID-19 adults showing moderate or severe disease were enrolled in the study. Patients presenting with multi-organ failure, ventilator support, and chronic diseases (except diabetes mellitus and hypertension) were excluded. Patients were randomly assigned in 1:1 ratio to receive either honey (1 gm/Kg/day) and Nigella sativa seeds (80 mg/Kg/day) or placebo up-to 13 days along with standard care. The outcomes included symptom alleviation, viral clearance, and a 30-day mortality in intention-to-treat population. This trial was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04347382.
RESULTS Three hundred and thirteen patients - 210 moderate and 103 severe - underwent randomization from April 30 to July 29, 2020. Among these, 107 were assigned to HNS whereas 103 to placebo for moderate cases. For severe cases, 50 were given HNS and 53 were given placebos. HNS resulted in ∼50% reduction in time taken to alleviate symptoms as compared to placebo (Moderate (4 versus 7 days), Hazard Ratio [HR]: 6.11; 95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 4.23-8.84, P<0.0001 and severe (6 versus 13 days) HR: 4.04; 95% CI, 2.46-6.64, P<0.0001). HNS also cleared the virus 4 days earlier than placebo group in moderate (6 versus 10 days, HR: 5.53; 95% CI: 3.76-8.14, P<0.0001) and severe cases (8.5 versus 12 days, HR: 4.32; 95% CI: 2.62-7.13, P<0.0001). HNS further led to a better clinical score on day 6 with normal activity resumption in 63.6% versus 10.9% among moderate cases (OR: 0.07; 95% CI: 0.03-0.13, P<0.0001) and hospital discharge in 50% versus 2.8% in severe cases (OR: 0.03; 95% CI: 0.01-0.09, P<0.0001). In severe cases, mortality rate was four-fold lower in HNS group than placebo (4% versus 18.87%, OR: 0.18; 95% CI: 0.02-0.92, P=0.029). No HNS-related adverse effects were observed.
CONCLUSION HNS significantly improved symptoms, viral clearance and mortality in COVID-19 patients. Thus, HNS represents an affordable over the counter therapy and can either be used alone or in combination with other treatments to achieve potentiating effects against COVID-19.
Since Manuka Honey from New Zealand has proven anti bacterial/viral properties it might be the perfect honey for this purpose
