What, Indian Medical Research Not Accepted Here?

“Sadly, data coming out of India and other "second class" and lower countries is often suppressed...”

Really?

Really. Two years ago I was diagnosed with Stage 4 idiopathic chronic kidney disease. My kidneys were slowly but irretrievably failing. Kidney failure is a major health problem, particularly among the aged, and those with hypertension and diabetes. Both of those are known to suppress or disrupt kidney function; hypertensive chronic kidney disease, or diabetic chronic kidney disease. The cause of my kidney dysfunction was neither of those; therefore, “idiopathic,” of unknown cause.

My nephrologist said I had but a few weeks to prepare for dialysis procedures or a kidney transplant. No other options.

So, I spent hours educating myself on all associated matters. Found this medical journal article, published in India (of all places): https://innovareacademics.in/journals/index.php/ajpcr/article/view/9994/4038

Article title: EVALUATION OF EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF NIGELLA SATIVA OIL SUPPLEMENTATION IN PATIENTS OF CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE

Abstract Conclusion: N. sativa oil supplementation along with conservative management is efficacious and safe in averting the progression of disease in stage 3 and 4 patients of CKD.

So, I purchased a bottle of black seed oil (the oil pressed out of the seeds of Nigella sativa, a plant of tropical areas of the world, whose oil is a dietary condiment). I simply consumed 2.5 ml of the oil each day (a half-teaspoon), just as did the older men in the Indian study.

And, just like them, the progression of my kidney dysfunction ceased; my kidneys began to yield normal kidney function numbers. At my next checkup, my nephrologist said the hospital technicians must have mis-labeled my urine sample. It didn’t reveal Stage 4 idiopathic chronic kidney disease. Mysteriously (to the nephrologist), the numbers showed only Stage 3 idiopathic CKD.

But, I was prepared. I handed him a copy of the paper, where I had highlighted the paper’s one-sentence Conclusion: “N. sativa oil supplementation improved the therapeutic conservative management in stage 3 and 4 patients of CKD.”

Now, for two years, with a half teaspoon of black seed oil each day I’ve kept my idiopathic chronic kidney disease at a rather normative, no-problems Stage 3. Perplexing to the nephrologist has been the non-progressing nature of the disease. CKD in 70-yr old males simply does not reverse itself from Stage 4 to Stage 3. Contrarily, it advances; hence, the prognosis of a transplant or dialysis. And, there are no drugs that can reverse this disease progression, either.

The nephrologist at each checkup says, “We’ll continue to watch this. The numbers are good, but they could go bad at any time. When that happens, we’ll do what is necessary.”

So far, (after two years) not a hint of kidney function regression.

Black seed oil is a food condiment in Asia and the Middle East. The costs and pains of dialysis and kidney transplants in the US are exceedingly great. Why haven’t the kidney disease people in the US immediately begun to prescribe black seed oil for all of their patients with CKD? Utterly safe; extremely beneficial.

Let the reader discern.
