Warning - new formula dangerous
I took the old formula for a couple of years.  It worked well to lower my triglycerides significantly.  The new formula is dangerous.<br /><br />The new formula to include Black Cumin Seed Oil.  Within a week of starting taking this new formula I ended up in urgent care who sent me right to ER.  I had a lot of blood in my urine and not from any infection.  The lab results also showed my kidney was in distress (BUN & Creatine were elevated - not in the normal range though a physical the month before showed them in the middle of the normal range). I take blood thinners and my INR reading was in my desired range.<br /><br />In reviewing what had changed that might be causing the bleeding and doing some internet searches, I found out that Black Cumin Seed Oil, when taken by someone who is on NSAIDs or a blood thinner, can increase bleeding.  I stopped this product that night and the bleeding was gone the next morning.<br /><br />If you are not on blood thinners, taking this product will cause the same issues as being on blood thinners.  The problems are severe and can include death from things you would not think twice of if you were not on blood thinners.  This is why blood thinners are carefully monitored.  So having internal bleeding going on without knowing - very dangerous!!!<br /><br />If you are on blood thinners, this &#34;increases&#34; the effect significantly.  Enough said, you know what that means.<br /><br />I called the company thinking they would care about this information, that they would put a warning on their labels, etc.<br />Nope, no caring at all, just a lot of excuses and side stepping.<br />Their technical rep basically said they were not responsible for telling you this information above (or the other situations it is very harmful for, like pregnancy).  He said:<br />They are fully aware their product is sold on Amazon and other locations (without these fact sheets), YOUR FAULT you bought it there.<br />Only Drs are supposed to be giving out/selling their products, the other people that sell it like the ones on Amazon are putting aliases on their forms (e.g. they never check if the person applying to sell their product is a Dr or not).  He said the Drs who sell the product have access to fact sheets no one else sees, but when I asked if the fact sheet said taking with blood thinners / NSAIDs can cause bleeding, he avoided answering that question.  To me, that means the answer is no, they are not telling their sellers this information.
