The Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) publishes excellent protocols for treating COVID before you get sick, while you are sick, and advises doctors for hospital care. The "I-MASK+ Prevention Protocol" recommends Nigella Sativa as an alternative if Ivermectin is not available:
Note 4 refers you to a page with this information:
I began reading about this remarkable plant the past couple days. Black seed (Nigella Sativa or NS) is a flowering plant native to Asia and the Mediterranean. Its seed has been used to make medicine for thousands of years. It goes by many names: nigella, blackseed, black cumin, black caraway, Roman coriander, fennel flower, and nutmeg flower.
There's a comprehensive paper in Biomolecules titled Nigella sativa L. Phytochemistry and Pharmacological Activities: A Review (2019–2021) that discusses many of the remarkable properties of this plant.
There is a Randomized Controlled Trial of NS underway. See Nigella sativa for the treatment of COVID-19: An open-label randomized controlled clinical trial published in the "Complementary Therapies in Medicine" journal ("an international, peer-reviewed journal that has considerable appeal to anyone who seeks objective and critical information on complementary therapies or who wishes to deepen their understanding of these approaches.")
WebMD, always the skeptic, says:
Black seed might have effects in the body that help boost the immune system, fight cancer, prevent pregnancy, reduce swelling, and lessen allergic reactions by acting as an antihistamine. People commonly use black seed for asthma, hay fever, diabetes, high blood pressure, eczema, weight loss, menstrual cramps, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support many of these uses. There is also no good evidence to support using black seed for COVID-19.Naturally!
It is amusing to see things i have been using since 2020 show up in the protocol
I have been sporadically using black seed oil. Cant stand the taste so i put it in oatmeal
I dont do most anything every day due to possibility of damaging your liver
Its hard to figure out who is honest on amazon
Someone here recommended penn herbs. They actually import stuff and make capsules themselves. I got my cinchona bark from them
If i get covid i will of course do every day.
I cought the Rona back at the end of December, unfortunately for me just as I was coming down with one of my bronchitis episodes that I have suffered from occasionally since 2017, and it turned in to a full blown pneumonia event. It got so bad there for a couple days that I was livin’ with blood oxygen levels in the low 80s at rest breathing normally, dropping in to the mid 70s when I’d get up to pee. Just for reference, the “doctors” advise you admit yourself to the hospital if your blood oxygen falls below 94% resting.
I followed the FLCCC MATH+ protocol and saved myself. No hospital vent Remdesivir death.
The MATH+ protocol uses carefully timed prednisone to stop the cytokine storm from killing you. The cytokine storm is an autoimmune body reaction to the Covid infection that builds and persists AFTER the live virus has been cleared from the body. It will literally kill you after the active virus is gone. This is a very important point to understand. IT’S NOT THE VIRUS THAT KILLS YOU, IT’S YOUR OWN IMMUNE SYSTEM’S CYTOKINE STORM THAT KILLS YOU.
So the MATH+ protocol is somewhat complex, but when you boil it all down once you understand it, it boils down to this:
You must let the virus run it’s course for about 10-11 days after exposure (treating the viral infection with your HCQ, IVM, zinc, etc). At this point in the timeline, your body has killed the virus. The main component of the MATH+ protocol is now deployed, healthy doses of prednisone to shut down the immune system’s cytokine storm and reverse the inflammation in the lungs that is causing the pneumonia. THIS WORKS.
However, it must be noted that premature deployment of the prednisone to shut down the immune system before the body has had the chance to clear the active virus COULD BE CATASTROPHIC. It is critical to observe the MATH+ protocol timeline.
I chose to go this route because it made perfect logical sense to me once I studied it and grasped the protocol’s concepts. I would highly recommend researching the FLCCC’s protocols ahead of time, particularly if you have a potentially confounding factor like I did. Study it, learn it, assemble the drugs and supplies you may need to treat yourself if the worst happens (pneumonia / cytokine storm). You can pretty much get everything you need freely with the exception of the prednisone. Here’s a list of the basics:
IVM, HCQ, zinc, C, D, etc to treat the viral infection
Pulse oximeter (cheap)
Prednisone (use MATH+ protocol as guidance for how much, it’s alot)
Source of oxygen (I used a O2 condenser machine)
Find a source for the prednisone. This is the key. Talk to an informed physician, beg borrow or steal, buy from overseas, whatever, you have to have the prednisone. In my case, I already had some in the house, and when I needed some more to taper off of my main treatment (you MUST taper your doses down to zero), I found a licensed registered nurse willing to hear my story and write the script. She was actually quite fascinated with my story, first she’d heard of “alternate” protocols.
So yeah, it was quite a ride, but I don’t regret it for a moment. I’ve since had an annual cardiologist check-up and found no difference from 2021’s EKG, no evidence of pericarditis, and clear lungs. With the exception of stamina issues (three weeks in bed), I’m back to 100% and no worse for the wear.
Once again, to re-iterate, study the FLCCC’s protocols, grasp how they work, prepare for the worst if you have a potentially confounding issue, gather your stuff. KEEP YOURSELF OUT OF THE REMDESIVIR DEATH CHAMBERS / HOSPITALS!
Budesonide?
For later
I think your adventure shows why many people end up dying. I had someone die from a cytokine storm. Timing is everything
Yes, you can grow it, but you need a Mediterranean or Middle Eastern climate. “Dave’s Seeds” sells it. People in the “Dave’s Seeds” site say they have successfully grown it in San Jose, CA. It’s been grown for medicinal purposes around the Med for thousands of years.
The seeds are small, so harvesting them and pressing the oil would be a lot of tedious work. But it can be done.
I had the same thought. It’s a pretty flower. I’ve got seeds from my local Indian grocer. I am planning to grow some this year.
Great write-up. Thanks for sharing that.
I started getting almost annual bouts of bronchitis during college. I’d typically get two colds per year with one turning into a nagging cough that would go on for ten or twelve weeks. As I hit my 40s, they were getting worse and I started seeing doctors, but they said their was little that could be done other than an Albuterol inhaler and letting it take its course. Albuterol didn’t do much for me at all.
About four or five years ago my doc referred me to an immunologist for something. She found I have zero detectable immunoglobulin A (IgA), the antibody that fights infection in mucous membranes. Turns out this “Selective IgA Deficiency” is quite common among the population and most people don’t even know they have it. The bad news is that it cannot be treated.
Was that a root cause of all my colds and bronchitis? Sounds plausible.
Three years ago, I got a cold, then bronchitis, and it evolved to walking pneumonia. My lungs were so bad I though I was going to die. The doc said he was seeing a lot of bronchitis and it would clear up in 12 weeks. The doc first used antibiotics with Prednisone, but it didn’t respond. Then it was antibiotics with Prednisolone. It went away at week 12, right on schedule.
I had moved from sunny California (where I was hiking most of the year round) to dark, gray North Idaho, so maybe the pneumonia was related to a Vit D deficiency.
When COVID hit, I started taking the Dr. Paul Marik EVMS protocol together with Povidone Iodine gargle and “First Defence” nasal spray at the first hint of a sore throat. I really ramped up my hand washing and worked to stop touching my face and nose. Another factor is that I retired five years ago so I am no longer in a crowded office environment and the kids are all grown and gone. I haven’t had a cold since I started starting the regimen.
My understanding is that the cytokine storm is, by and large, THE killer resulting from Covid cases.
Knowing what I know now, I cannot see how ANYONE needs to die from the cytokine storm. It is treatable.
The problem is, IT IS NOT TREATABLE WITH REMDESIVIR, the government mandated protocol. Remdesivir, and the protocol surrounding it's use, are killing lots of people.
My bronchitis appears to be associated with rheumatoid arthritis, possibly a touch of what is known as Interstitial Lung Disease. Like you, I've asked several docs about it and never gotten a clear answer.
In my case, I'll get a flare up if exposed to dust; sawdust (especially treated wood), basement dust, etc will aggravate it, and then it always goes bacterial. I keep Azithromycin on hand for when it goes bacterial, try to treat it as soon as the infection makes it's presence known (I can taste it) to keep any scarring to a minimum. It's been happening 1-2 times a year since 2017. I NEED to get better at avoiding the dust.
Anyway, the Azithromycin absolutely knocks it out in my case. Very effective.
Thanks. My BIL passed away from Covid on January 6th so it’s been a tough month.
Can I ask where you live?
Diana from Wisconsin posted that Dave’s seeds sells them but indicated they need a Mediterranean climate such as is found in San Diego.
I live in Midwest wondering if I could grow them inside or in greenhouse...

Thanks for excellent post and glad you are well!

I live in the Pacific Northwest. Zone 8a. I suspect they will be annuals in my climate, but I plan to save the seeds.
I-mask suggests 40mg/kg so it would depend on your weight (in kilograms). I don’t know about interactions with any prescription meds, but I have read that any zinc iodophores (HCQ, Quercetin, EGCG in green tea, Nigella sativa, and others) should not be taken at the same time. Multiple can be taken, but spread out in the day.
Do you happen to recall where you read about the timing of taking zinc ionospheres?
I walk in there to buy my stuff. Been using them since the late 80s. Love the smell of the place. Founded in 1924, by the way, although they have a new building at the same location. I've been using them for a concoction that I have laughingly called the cure for the common cold. It includes cinchona bark.
I can’t find anything on timing. Since the zinc-ionophore acts as an emulsifier (allowing zinc through the fatty cell wall) it would make sense to me to take it a with the zinc.

Useful dosage and cautions information in the conclusion (pasted blelow):
9. Conclusion
Having a range of bioactive components such as thymoquinone and nigellimine, black seed might offer a number of benefits to treat COVID-19 such as (i) blocking the entry of the virus into pneumocytes and (ii) providing ionophore for enhanced uptake of Zn2+ which in turn can enhance host immune response against SARS-CoV-2 as well as inhibit its replication by blocking the viral RdRp. However, it is important to identify the right doses for both black seed or its derivatives such as oil, as well as for Zn. It can be noted that black seed oil has been used at doses of between 40−80 mg/kg/day as adjunctive therapy without any side effects. On the other hand, Zn intake above its recommended daily allowance (RDA) might be harmful which varies according to age, sex and other health conditions. For example, the RDA varies for children 1–8 years old (3−5 mg), males 9–13 years (8 mg), males > 14 years (11 mg), females > 18 years (8 mg), and females 14–18 years (9 mg). Individuals with health conditions such as with liver and kidney diseases as well as pregnant women must consult the physicians before deciding to take any self-prescribed Zn supplement.
Zinc and Quercetin: Importance During Pandemic, December 27, 2021
Interesting, I arrived at the hospital past the remdesivir window, so thankfully it was not considered. After a couple days in hospital as my condition worsened the doctor ordered steroids, oral and inhaled. The turn around actually surprised them it was so quick. Same as you, I had lingering fatigue and heart rate problems. I went to rehab because I was pretty wasted and needed to rebuild my strength and stamina. How are you now? I still have an occasional racing pulse upon exertion and brain fog.
