"birth of integrated platform"
Founder's health journey
In Feb 2020, I was faced with a shocking diagnosis - 92% coronary artery occlusion and high cholesterol precipitated due to induced stress. I was admitted to St. Bart's Hospital in London, where my cardiologist recommended an angioplasty and put me on a list of 8 different medications. The thought of having to undergo such a procedure and rely on multiple medications was a heavy burden, not just for me but also for the NHS.(My video)
But then, something miraculous happened. I stumbled upon a simple solution that not only helped me avoid the recommended ICD implant but also allowed me to come off 7 out of the 8 medications in just 1 year. And the cure was found by adding 5 Ajwa dates and a spoonful of its seeds powder along with a pinch of black seed powder, consumed on an empty stomach every morning. Along that I have added a clove of garlic to my lunch mostly consisting of Mediterranean diet..
Today, I am proud to say that I can do 50 pushups and 50 Surya Namaskars in each set. This incredible transformation has made me a firm believer in the power of natural healing, natural remedies and the wisdom of our ancestors. It makes me wonder, why are we so reliant on chemicals and medications that not only harm our bodies but also come with a hefty price tag?
The truth is, our ancestors lived longer and healthier lives by understanding and utilizing the gifts of nature. They didn't have access to modern medicine, yet they were able to maintain their health and vitality. Ajwa dates, for example, have been used for centuries in traditional medicine for their numerous health benefits. They are rich in antioxidants, fiber, and essential nutrients, making them a powerhouse of nutrition.
The seeds of Ajwa dates are equally beneficial, especially for heart health. They contain high levels of potassium, magnesium, and healthy fats, which help lower cholesterol levels and improve blood flow. Consuming them on an empty stomach in the morning can have a significant impact on our overall health. The added benefits of Black seed and Garlic helped me in improving my over all well-being and reducing cholesterol.
Not only Ajwa dates, its seeds, black seeds and garlic along with Mediterranean diet help me avoid an invasive procedure and reduce my reliance on medications, but they also gave me the energy and strength to lead a more active lifestyle. And I am not alone in experiencing such positive results. Many others have shared similar success stories after incorporating invaluable alternative options into their daily routine.
In conclusion, it's time for us to take a step back and reevaluate our approach to health and wellness. Instead of relying solely on medications and chemicals, let's turn to the wisdom of our ancestors and the gifts of nature. By creating this platform, I propose to bring a holistic approach to tackling chronic health issues.
My passion to bring this unique integration of conventional medicine and evidence-based alternative solutions is not only to improve our health ecosystem as a whole but also to reduce the burden on our healthcare system(NHS).

What is black seed (kalonji) ??
INTRODUCTION
Kalonji is small, black-coloured seeds similar to cumin. Therefore, they are also called black cumin. The potential properties of kalonji are so vast that it might be considered the ‘the herb from heaven’, or Haba-al-Barakh (blessed seeds) or miracle seeds.1
Kalonji, being a popular ingredient in the culinary world and also in traditional medicine, is grown and used in different regions of the world. Kalonji is used in Arab countries, Africa, Asia and Europe to manage various diseases and ailments.1
Moreover, kalonji is a panacea and is used in various forms. It has potential use and might be helpful to recover from tiredness and restore the body’s energy, as has been stated in the book ‘The canon of Medicine’ by Avicenna, who is The Father of Early Modern Medicine. It is also used in various traditional systems of medicine such as Unani, Ayurveda, Tibb and Siddha.1
NUTRITIONAL COMPOSITION
The nutritional composition of kalonji is as follows:
Nutrient Percentage composition (%)
Proteins -16.67
Fats -33.33
Total carbohydrates -50
Iron -0.012
It also contains:
- Essential amino acids
- Micronutrients: zinc, calcium, iron, copper, phosphorous, niacin, pyridoxine and folic acid.
- Phytochemicals: alkaloids, saponins and sterols.
- Oils: fixed oils and essential oils.
PROPERTIES OF BLACK SEEDS
The wide range of potential properties that kalonji may possess, might be the reason for its potential use for various health-related problems for centuries. The properties are as follows:
- It may be an antioxidant
- It might have anti-inflammatory potential
- It might act as an immunomodulatory (modulates the action of the immune system) agent
- It may be an anti-bacterial (helps fight against bacteria) agent
- It might have an anticancer potential
- It may be a stomach-protective action
- It may help in acting as a kidney-protective action
- It may have a liver-protective potential
- It may have a heart-protective property
- It may be an anti-diabetic agent
- It may have anti-hypertensive (helps in the control of high blood pressure) potential.1
POTENTIAL USE OF BLACK SEEDS
Potential use of kalonji for diabetes:
In a study conducted on patients who have diabetes, it was seen that the blood sugar of patients might be affected positively with the oral administration of black cumin seed oil for 20 days. In many cases, it might be helpful as an adjunct to the oral medications prescribed for lowering blood sugar as seen in various studies.3
The potential blood sugar lowering effect of kalonji may be attributed to its various potential properties that might help reduce free radicals in the body either by apparently helping in increasing the level of antioxidants or by neutralisation of free radicals, controlling inflammation, and regulating blood cholesterol, by increasing good cholesterol and lowering bad cholesterol.3 However, more research is required to ascertain the above-mentioned potential uses. You should consult a doctor for serious conditions such as diabetes which must be diagnosed and treated by a doctor.
Potential use of kalonji for high blood pressure:
Research has been conducted to study the effects of kalonji as a blood pressure-lowering agent. One of the trials conducted over a period of one year with supplementation of kalonji daily showed that kalonji might help with lowering of blood pressure in the patients.3
Although many studies showed the potential use of kalonji as a blood pressure-lowering agent, one of the studies conducted on elderly patients suffering from elevated blood pressure failed to do so. The difference in the methods of study might have caused this difference in results as the previous studies were performed on patients with milder forms of the disease, and the dosage of kalonji used to treat it also varied.3
This activity of kalonji may be due to its potential property of decreasing oxidative stress (neutralisation of free radicals) and might also help in increasing the urine output, both of which mechanisms might prove to be helpful for high blood pressure.3 However, more studies are required to prove the potential use of kalonji for blood pressure. Moreover, high blood pressure is a serious condition and must be diagnosed and treated by a dcotor.
Potential use of kalonji for infections:
Potential use of kalonji for bacterial infections – Kalonji might help to stop the growth of a wide range of bacteria and thus might help with various infections caused by them. It was found to have a possible effect on a bacterium (Helicobacter pylori),which is found to be associated with the formation of gastric ulcers.3 however, more studies will be necessry to prove such claims.
Potential use of kalonji for fungal infections – Apparently, it also doesn’t allow fungi to grow and might therefore help with fungal infections. It is also hypothesised that it might interfere with growth of various fungi. Therefore, it might be used as a food additive and a natural preservative to prevent the spoilage of food.3 However, more research is required to prove such effects.
Potential use of kalonji for viral Infections – In people infected with hepatitis C virus, a potential use was seen with a possibility to decrease the infection rates by the use of kalonji oil. Use of kalonji may be possible in the near future after thorough research and investigations, as it shows growth inhibitory effect against virus.3
Potential use of kalonji for parasitic infections – Parasitic diseases like schistosomiasis, leishmaniasis and malaria might also be affected by kalonji as it might help to eliminate these parasites (tiny organisms living in our body and causing diseases) from the body.3 However, more research is required. Please consult a doctor.
Potential use of kalonji for pain and inflammation.
Diseases like cystic fibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, allergies, asthma and cancer are associated with inflammation and pain. The volatile oil of kalonji has been found to have the potential to help with pain and also inflammation in such conditions. A study revealed that kalonji extract in asthmatic patients might help to improve lung function as compared to another compound (theophylline), in addition to relieving inflammation due to the disease. The relief in pain and inflammation due to asthma might be possible due to the potential activity of kalonji in reducing histamine (an enzyme).3 However, more studies are necessary to prove such claims. Please consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment of conditions.
Potential use of kalonji for cancer:
Kalonji might have a potential use against cancer that may be attributed to its potential antioxidant activity and also to its action to possible help in inhibiting the growth of cancer cells in the body. This effect has been noted in studies conducted in the laboratory and also in animal models.3 However, more studies are required to prove these claims. Cancer is a serious condition and must be diagnosed and treated by a doctor.
Potential use of kalonji for the nervous system:
The bioactive compound present in kalonji might intervene with the signalling pathways of neurons in the body and may show a positive effect. This activity may be responsible for its possible use against the diseases of nerves and even certain mental disorders.3 Studies have also shown its potential positive effect on Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy (seizures), anxiety and depression, and drug addictions (opioid tolerance and dependence).3 However, more studies are required. Kindly consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Potential use of kalonji for the liver:
Kalonji extract might help with blood flow to the liver, thus might help stop damage caused due to decreased oxygen levels. Thus, it might protect the liver. It might also protect the liver from the toxic effects of certain heavy metals by nullifying their activity.4 However, more research is required. Please consult a doctor.

ANY SIDE EFFECTS & PRECAUTIONS ?
Kalonji doesn’t have any side-effects. However, when taken in large amounts it may lead to low blood sugar levels or low blood pressure. Also, its effect is unknown to lactating mothers.
