Methylene Blue

[haroldsails]

We've been using MB as part of our morning routine for just shy of six months now. For the first 3 months we did ten drops twice daily, and then decided to cut back to once a day. Time to take a break from MB, but we will continue with most of the "frontline doctors" supplement protocol from the covid circus of 5 years ago, and our red light therapy. It will be interesting to see where this new revelation about MB leads us, how will the high profile proponents of MB respond, or will they even bother?

I've been following this thread, and all the pro-and-con points raised, with interest. (I've never tried MB, but I'm always alert to new ways of optimizing health and wellness.)

As a reminder (to myself also!), here's a copy of my post #16 from 6 months ago. The PDF embed doesn't seem to be visible to me here right now, but the link does work.

I do tend to trust Dr Mercola's views on things. He notes some potential side-effects, but does not feel it's in any way 'dangerous'. (If he's updated his opinion since then, please let us know!)

Benefits and Side Effects of Methylene Blue — A Comprehensive Guide

Story at-a-glance

• Methylene blue enhances mitochondrial function and cellular energy production, improving cognitive function, liver health and overall cellular efficiency.

• Studies suggest methylene blue benefits Alzheimer's patients by slowing cognitive decline and brain atrophy. It also shows promise in treating depression.

• Methylene blue demonstrates liver-protective effects by activating SIRT1, enhancing fat metabolism and reducing inflammation. It also aids in estrogen metabolism, supporting hormonal balance.

• The compound exhibits potent anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting multiple inflammasomes and reducing proinflammatory molecules. It helps manage various inflammatory conditions and improve survival in severe cases.

• While generally safe, methylene blue can cause side effects like blue discoloration of urine and interactions with certain medications. Proper dosage and pharmaceutical-grade products are crucial for safe use.

I didnt realise MB was a MAOI..
You have to be really careful what you eat when taking a MAOI as it allows toxins to get through from some foods, especially aged things like certain cheeses, over ripe bananas etc.
Hence the Ayahuasca diet, if you are ever working with that.
the vine component is a MAOI which lets the DMT from the leaf component through..

Cacao has MAOI components too...

I haven't experienced any benefit from Methylene Blue. No change whatsoever. I think I'll use what's left to dye some of my clothing. Seems pretty good for that. I take organic food-based supplements that create a positivel effect that I can actually feel and experience soon after taking them. I think it's over-hyped and tend to agree with Dr. Peter Breggin plus it is not natural.

I started taking Methylene Blue several months ago and instantly felt the effects of neuroplasticity, which was exciting. One of the symptoms I experience with my chronic illness is occasional interruptions to brain circuitry, much like a power outage or, if I’m lucky, a dimming of the lights—I can usually bluff my way through the dimming without looking like a stunned mullet.

But when the power goes out completely, I’m left in the dark waiting for it to kick back in. Happened the other day during a catch-up with friends. Mid-sentence, I froze. On the inside, I’m flapping around trying to reboot the circuit board. On the outside, mates are staring at me with an initial look of confusion that’s quickly replaced with relief that they’re not having whatever it is that I’m having.

We fumble our way to candles or a torch when the power goes out in our homes, but when I start scrambling for a torch inside my head, it makes me look spastic. My head swivels back and forth to everyone as my eyes plead for someone, anyone, to help me out. Geez, carry the baton on my sentence for a bit will ya, or toss out a trigger word to help reboot the crash. But I imagine at this point everyone is feeling as awkward and embarrassed as I am because they have no clue why my polished dialogue up and vanished only to be replaced with repeated utterances of “you know, you know, you know…”.

Gotta laugh, but it can be tricky in professional work situations, especially when I’m faced with a little public speaking which I now avoid like the plague. Fortunately, the short-circuiting doesn’t last more than a minute or so before the power magically reappears but then I’m faced with having to explain my way out of the fiasco.

Okay, so, Methylene Blue. I found that more is not better and it’s documented somewhere that this is the case, which makes finding the sweet spot dosage tricky. I found 5-6 drops per day way more effective than 15-16 drops. Then I swapped out daily for every 2-3 days.

Recently, I decided to stop it altogether, but I think that was a mistake. I experience episodes of the dimming effect when taking MB, but I can’t recall having had a significant glitch like the one I just described while I was on it. I’m reintroducing it now, but only on days that I venture out into the public square.

Oh, and I find it gives an additional hour or three energy kick when I take the dosage that works for me.

I just can't get on board with this one. It just seems way off from right. I stay open to real research, discovery and data but can't see myself ever utilizing this.

[onawah]

I get that, Casey.
I am all about things that are NATURAL.
When it comes to a bluegreen supplement, I much prefer Spirulina, a complete food and the basis of the planetary food chain.
On the other hand, MB is supposed to be a remedy for something totally UNNATURAL, that being the self-replicating nanotechnology so recently introduced into the human bloodstream.
Perhaps Nature hasn't had time yet to create an effective natural remedy for that.
In any case, the microscopy work that Dr. Mihalcea and other researchers have been doing seems to be showing MB is effective.
Though I imagine some brands of MB may be adulterated, while others are more pure and work a lot better, though it will take more time to find out about that too, no doubt.
(These new toxins seem to be sneaking into everything, however!)
Cilantro is effective for eliminating heavy metal, and perhaps other natural remedies like that deserve more study as related to the nanotech.
I haven't been following dr. Mihalcea's work as much of late, but her team have probably been looking into that as well.

Methylene Blue is a powerful mitochondrial enhancer and energy booster with wide-ranging benefits when used at the correct dose. Dr. Scott Sherr explores the science and therapeutic potential of Methylene Blue, including its effects on mitochondrial function, cellular energy production, neuroprotection, cognitive performance, and insulin resistance.

This discussion also covers the history of Methylene Blue, its mechanism of action at the cellular level, dosage strategies, and practical applications for health optimization and longevity.

In this conversation, Dr. Scott Sherr discusses the multifaceted benefits of methylene blue, particularly its role in enhancing mitochondrial health and its implications for mental health. He explains how mitochondrial dysfunction is linked to various mental health disorders and emphasizes the importance of addressing underlying issues such as GABA deficiency.

The discussion also covers the use of methylene blue in hypoxic conditions, its potential for weight loss support, and the necessary precautions when using it, especially in conjunction with other medications. Additionally, the conversation touches on the benefits of red light therapy for mitochondrial function and the significance of quality sourcing for supplements.
