So if thymohydroquinone is BBB and CNS permeable, I'd guess that thymoquinone and other things in the black cumin seed oil are too. I'd also guess that the combination of chemicals in the oil...
(like in the first table in this post: Transmissible Viral Vaccines... how the shots are affecting those who haven't taken it. They may be designed to do exactly that )
...would be complementary as to the effects on those protein receptors that were studied with thymohydroquinone (my previous post).
And I agree with akgrrrl that the growing conditions, harvesting time, processing methods etc affect the composition of chemicals in the oil and so analysis of the batch is good. Some essential oil companies might do that, but with most "herbs" you just want to know where they grew and the processing methods; those are the biggest influences of the chemical composition. Any certified organic and cold-pressed black seed oil I expect would have a normal amount of the desired chemicals in it.
HCQ is more predictable. I wanted to check the details of how to use the black seed oil because I recognize maybe I was making some risky assumptions about thinking just make some tea with black cumin seeds and it's as good as HCQ because things in it can bind to ACE2.
But I do also still think that the combination of chemicals in the oil is complementary, and that combining black cumin seed with other "herbs" that have a similar combination (an "active" thing that's been shown to help with SARS-CoV-2 plus other supporting chemicals) -- like green tea (EGCG), licorice, ginger, cinchona bark (cinchona more cautiously than those others) -- would help to ensure that they're together as effective as HCQ because even if you're getting a small dose of some intended chemical (because of not knowing the compositional variation in it) you still have lots of other overlapping layers of backup. That overlapping layers of backup strategy could be ineffective if there's a virus variant that has a much stronger binding affinity than most chemicals in most herbs do for that receptor though (and so you'd want a specific dose of a specific chemical with a strong binding affinity, like dithymoquinone or HCQ, that it'd be hard to predict the dosage of if it's not isolated).
