This GLP thread, started by user "dimwitty" on March 21, 2025, explores the health benefits of oil of oregano and black seed oil. The original post highlights their active ingredients—Carvacrol in oregano oil and Thymoquinone in black seed oil—and their scientifically supported properties. Oil of oregano is praised for its antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory effects, aiding conditions like rheumatic pain, colds, flu symptoms, gastrointestinal issues, and urinary tract infections. Black seed oil, extracted from Nigella sativa, is noted for its extensive study and therapeutic benefits, including bronchodilation, antihypertensive effects, anti-diabetic properties, and cholesterol reduction. The post suggests these oils work synergistically to combat bacterial, fungal, and viral infections.
User comments expand on this. "Piece of Gossip" references a related thread ("Cosmic Death Fungus - General") and shares a personal anecdote about black seed oil clearing decade-old mucus after mold exposure. An updated "NAC Protocol" is quoted, combining these oils with NAC, niacin, pterostilbene, and pomegranate extract for fungal defense, with detailed dosing guides. Other anonymous users report black seed oil eliminating allergies (e.g., cedar, ragweed) and even curing snoring, reducing reliance on prescription meds. The discussion mixes scientific claims, personal testimonies, and protocol updates, typical of the forum’s speculative and community-driven style.
