Thanks. I had bought black cumin oil because that is all I could find at first, couldn't find the powder which is what the Covid research used, the powder from the seeds, not the oil. The powder has additional things in very small amounts, like a bit of quercetin and a bit of zinc, that I don't think is in the oil, though the oil has apparently has standardized amounts of the what is considered the main, active ingredient, thymoquinone - probably same results either way, but since I saw the powder was used in the Covid research, I thought I would rather have that. If you grew your own and put the powder from the seeds into capsules, maybe you would not taste it as much as you do from the oil.

Did you post here about star anise, or do you have a blog? I had not seen your post about star anise. And I had read something about lactoferrin for Covid, Steve Kirsch has recommended that, though I was not aware of needing Benadryl with it. Do you know why you use Benadryl with lactoferrin?

Thanks for all this info.
