    I wish you had told me about this 40 years ago. I would be so much healthier now.

    Just kidding. You probably weren’t born then. 🙂

    Thank you, though, for reporting on this. I’ve been taking krill oil for a lot of the same symptoms, but the cumin seed oil looks like it might even be better. I will have to give it a try.

    Thanks,

      Hi Gary,
      Unfortunately, 40 years ago we did not have the same resources and knowledge to finding the superfood rich foods/oils/etc. that are used in other countries as natural and holistic remedies. And yes, I wasn’t born then, either ;).

      I love to share my knowledge of what I learned through the years to help others find a few good remedies that can be used as alternatives for illnesses or even for digestion issues that so many of us have. Let me know if you try the black cumin seed oil and let me know how it works out for you!

      Thanks for stopping by!
