@Oliver3 thank you.

And I continue to have improvements every day: better intellectual energy, emotional, less pain ..... I encourage you to try black seed oil. (You make oil : black seed cumin (1/2 theaspoon) in the olive oil (1/4 of cup). You put in frigo (you don't have bacteries) and you take 1 theaspoon by day or more....

I titrated, over a few days, up to one capsule of Nootropics Depot Nigella Sativa 200mg (5% thymoquinone), as of a coule days ago.

Now I have mild flu-like symptoms - very slight: headache, limb soreness, phlem, now shivering so wrapped up extra warm, only 38C (in-ear), resting heart rate elevated from 60 to between 80-100.
[Edit: also amped up tinnitus for last few days and nearly passed out cooking just now, had to lie down on kitchen floor, which is new.🙄]

This would be only my 2nd time with sickness symptoms in the last ~13 yrars or so. Other time from when I raised a monosodium phosphate supplement past a modest amount.

Any ideas? Googling, it's all about how BSO is great *against* cold, flu, etc.

My other possibility could be my first proper time having Covid, since Mum's unsure about her cold.🤷
[Edit2: it was Covid, see below.]

About 45min later i started to feel how i feel from some supplements. Brainfog, dry mouth, fatigue etc.
it I found that it caused a big release of mycotoxins internally
Any developements from here?

How would one assist the elimination of (myco)toxins from the body, if guessing at that? Thanks. 🙂

Incidentally, one of the reasons I'm trying BSO, aside from it being an acclaimed cure-all I've not taken before, is that there was speculation it might lower TNF-alpha. As a reason it might have helped someone with delayed sleep:
In a Reddit post today (in the Nootroptics sub), about someone who's delayed sleep phase had apparently been fixed by taking black seed oil, a commentor was speculating that it may have been due to thymoquinone reducing oxidative stress and thus TNF-alpha. Which they asserted, when raised, could suppress circadian entrainment. So:
I've not seen any other evidence for this as yet. Or coorberating theorising.

It is powerful for sure. I heard anecdotes it can induce implant rejection (like breast implants in women). For me, I started to get tooth pain in my old root canal teeth. This got me worried about what's in those root canals, and I ended up removing those teeth.

I think there was a French group working with OMF who were attempting to use thymoquinone . Not sure what happened to them but it had a profound effect on my pots and PTSD

I wonder if your response to the black seed oil has something to do with it's effect on neurotransmitters.

This study found that it does have an effect on glutamine and glutamate.

And then this study found that glutamine and glutamate are involved in tinnitus.

I think black seed oil has many mechanisms of action mist likely within the body . It's deffo worth trying.
Take with broccoli seed extract, pynagenol z quercetin and it's a pretty good anti viral anti oxidative stress anti inflammatory concoction

Can BSO reverse vaccine damage?
I'm trying cacoa powder at the moment and low dose aspirin...as always one has to listen to the body but apparently cacoa releases stem cells.
Autophagy from intermittent fasting will help too with reversing savage if you can handle it

Are there any reputable studies on BSO to show its effects?

There's loads of studies I believe for illnesses such as cancer
I know a French group liasing with the OMF were looking at using THYMOQUINONE which is a massive anti inflammatory and one of the main active ingredients.
Not sure what happened to that.
All I know is it cured my pots overnight but due to side effects I had to stop

BSO can detox the body?

Sorry relapsing like a star over Christmas!
No none of my symptoms stayed in remission after stopping black seed oil.
Ok...so you want details and I'll give it to you. The reason I stopped was it seemed to shrink my penis...well no seem about it. It did?!!
Happy no lol.
I definitely have undiagnosed eds. My groin region was suffering. Believe this or not but my penis was stretching and becoming very large but I was honestly worried it was gonna just come apart. This is not funny id braggadocio. It's so far out from normal people's experience that I could t say anything.
Added to that, my sphincter muscles became very loose. Leasing to seepage on occasion..I was in my mid 49s for crying out loud.
I thought that was just the way it would go..I would fall apart! My penis got to ludicrous levels compared to its previous size. At first I was happy, until it didn't stop. My eyeballs became so soft . I don't know if it was mast cells attacking the collagen? Anyone that any ideas about what that condition is id ilove to know. I'm still genuinely emotionally devastated by it.
So anyway I started taking black seed oil for just feeling so ill. It was like a miracle, especially if mixed with sugar( not healthy). Stopped my anxiety, the choking feeling in my neck and the pots and orthastic intolerance. I could walk much further. I carried the bottle with me. When I felt symptoms, or that anxiety feeling I rubbed some into my arms, belly or took a swig.. the pots and orthastic intolerance going or being reduced 95 percent was a miracle.

I became a bit liberal with it, probably used too much. This went on for six months... I thought I could live a reasonable life.
One of the things I think about m.e. Is it makes us so hyper aware of our bodies...neurotic really but who wouldn't be hyper vigilant with what we go through.
I started applying the oil to my penis eventually. All good at first...it made it bigger still..but firmer and less stretchy. I thought this stuff is a miracle. I made the mistake after a few weeks of applying it to the frenulum and testes.
Woke up the day after with a horrible pulling sensation in my groin. My penis retracted loads.bit was like the chambers shrank....my erection became like a stone. But maybe two inches smaller after the first painful three days. What happened I have no idea! The one benefit was was anal problems went...I didn't need to worry about that anymore. The area tightened up massively It was actually hard to pass stools for about six months.
I don't as on BP meds and antidepressants at the time. I don't know if it was the combination, overuse or placement of the black seed .
I was bloody devastated as I'm sure all makes can relate.
But I would've kept on it to stop the m.e. despite those symptoms. But the thought in my mind was, if it's doing that to my penis, what about my heart.
I know there's lots of omega 6 and 9 in black seed . Perhaps it affected my collagen. Perhaps this was a coincidence.but the improvement anally makes me think not.
The penis size has come back a bit.
Whenever I try black seed oil now. I get such lovely relief followed by that pulling feeling in my groin.

That was difficult to write. Hope you appreciate the honesty. Please be gentle. This illness has taken so much from me but that, no pun intended ended , was a low blow

In my experience the capsules are ineffective. I've tried both
