Why I Take Methylene Blue (And Why You Might Want To As Well)

If you’ve been around the biohacking / health optimization world for any amount of time, you’ve likely heard of people taking Methylene Blue.
But like so many other health optimization tools out there, there's a lot of conflicting information about it.
Is it right for you? Should you try it? What are the benefits? Are there any risks? How much should you take?
In this video we'll discuss what methylene blue is, why I take it, and why you might want to try it too.

FYI, if you want to avoid a blue mouth, you can first dissolve about 1-2 grams of vitamin C crystals in water, and then add the methelyne blue. Within a few minutes the blue water will turn clear or very light blue (the vitamin C "reduces" methylene blue, which is beneficial). It works great, resulting in no blue mouth, plus the added benefit of additional vitamin C, which is great for brain function.

I plan to try it for two applications: 1) to alleviate hypoxia that results from going to altitude quickly, like driving from 2400 feet elevation to 8000 feet. And then after a few days at 8000, going up to 11,500 to 12,500. Also, when flying. The cabins of passenger jets are pressurized to 8000 feet, so it should help during a flight. 2) as a performance enhancer when trail running at altitude in the mountains.

The biggest effect for me talking MB is my hearing is SUPERB... super sensetive. Also taking MB removes variuos sounds from ears..dont know how it's called in english but some people hear high pitched noise and so on regulary in their ears. with MB i never hear such noises. As i wrote in previuos comment - im MB user for almost 10 years, it's not a over night effect. There is also better mitochondria i can feel than my peers but i cant proove it. But i have much higher endurance than 10 years younger people, and i im software developer who always sits with computer day and night. and still have great shape, nice endurance in my 40s.

This is my experience with MB…I just wrote this comment on another MB video when this one popped up and thought I’d add to this one. Three years after a major concussion and still injured, Methylene Blue was THE game changer for my brain within two days and having continued weekly improvement. What made the difference was taking 2-3 doses 6 hours apart because of its half life. Still working through drops per dose. At this time it’s 4-5 drops (2-2.5 mg) first thing in the morning, 3-4 drops (1.5-2 mg) for second dose and then IF I take a 3rd dose, 2-3 drops. Each week I gradually increase my drops per dose while slowly try to find my sweet spot. One month ago was my initial dose of 3 drops. Hyperbaric also was great for several months but super time consuming and expensive. After 20 sessions I stopped these sessions and noticed my brain function had lost some gains which brought me to MB. This is the first time that I believe my brain is the most back since pre-concussion. I still have slight short term memory issues but working through that. The difference I have especially noticed is that when I think and process now, my brain is super quick, super sharp, creativity back when one month ago, while *trying* to think, my brain “dragged” and I couldn’t keep up with conversations, humor, problem solving. It felt as if I was walking through fog trying to find my lost brain. Hell is having the awareness of how fast my brain used to process but having no idea how to bring it back. Before Methylene Blue I felt lost and embarrassed and secluded myself. Now I feel like a child who has rediscovered the best playground. Our brain is our operating system and I will never again take it for granted. I have been extremely humbled these last three years. Also, I will never take for granted as I had, how serious concussions can be. I have such respect for the healing capacity of our brain when we feed it what it needs so it can do its thing. Such gratitude for the KZbin content producers who brought MB into my algorithm. PS. Creatine is also important to take immediately after a concussion and keep taking. Has to do with resetting the mitochondria after your injury. Many videos about this. I suggest to everyone I know to take a daily dose of creatine to keep the brain nice and fluffy in case of a future accident, so the brain has the tools to quickly heal. I discovered this about creatine 2-1/2 months after my accident. Had I been taking it already, I believe, my healing would have been a fraction of time instead of years. Taking MB and creatine every day with a few days break here and there for the rest of my life. I can never hear enough about the fast growing research about Methylene Blue. Good luck to all. 🙏🙏🙏 PS. To prevent teeth staining, we put our drops in a shot glass with water, shoot that to the back of your throat and chase with a glass of water as you swallow both at the same time.

The next day it did the same while riding a bicycle with a friend. 2mg the first day, 1.5mg the second. However, the day after the bike ride, I did not take any MB and by the afternoon, I felt a lot of fatigue and took a nap. Felt like I'd done too much coffee the day before and now I was paying for it with a lot of fatigue. So the question is: Is this a common experience when you stop taking it? And I wonder if it's revving you up when taking it and then you crash the next day, could this actually be healthy?

I only really see a drug interaction with IV methylene blue and SSRI’s, not oral MB. I believe that dose of methylene blue was like 1mg/kg over like 30 min .. that’s a pretty big dose.

I feel pretty sure if you’re on a low dose of an SSRI that you can start testing with a couple drops of MB … and eventually ween off the SSRI if it’s right for you.

First, ensure that it's USP (Pharmaceutical) grade! Other forms can contain heavy metals. Here are a few options: 🔗 Purchase Lumetolblue from Mitozen - www.mitozen.com/hbot-usa/ (Use code HBOTUSA for 💲 OFF) 🔗 Methylene Blue (liquid form) 1.69 fl oz: amzn.to/3udUQc2 🔗 Methylene Blue (liquid form) 8.4 fl oz: amzn.to/4bn9uyd That first one is a gel, and is easier to take. For the liquids, you can add a little water to a small paper cup or shot glass, and then count the drops as you add MB to the cup. There should be info on the bottle that says how much is in each drop. Some say .5 mg per drop, for instance, so 50 drops would be a dose of 25 mg. Then tilt your head back and try to shoot it to the back of your throat and swallow. Chasing it immediately with water can help. It will temporarily turn anything it touches blue, so try to avoid swishing it in your mouth. Your tongue will likely turn blue, but shooting it like this should help keep your teeth from turning blue. Practice on a day where it won't matter if your teeth turn a little blue 😁

My BP is a bit high so I am on 10mg Lisinopril. It is my only concern with MB so I'm waiting to talk to my doctor. I will ask if I can just try the common sense methods to lower my BP (Diet, exercise, supplements, etc). (I won't know until I ask my doctor - and I'm not sure I should share his response here because everyone is different.) But I thought I would share what my approach is - what I'm going to ask my doctor if I can try. Maybe you could try the same with your doc. 🙂 I would recommend having a BP cuff at home so you can track BP daily so nothing sneaks up on you. If you are on anti-depressants (SSRIs) you should definitely talk to your Doc before taking MB.

Most people with PD take Carbidopa/Levodopa which increases serotonin in the brain similar to SSRI's. I'm titrating up in dose. Since everyone is different I can't say what will work for others. I think it's worth the risk.

I recommend you read “The Promise of Lithium” book and look into photobiomodulation with red light therapy helmets (wellred or vilight) with the nasal attachment. I am a physician. This is what I would do.

I take it every day, 3 times a day. 7 drops per dose. Bph pharmaceutical is USA based and affordable, with great quality as well. The 21 drops are on the low end, being that it's diluted already. I use zero sugar powdered drink mix, and it doesn't stain.

Stop eating huge quantities of food, fast one day a week, drink water only between meals and don't eat meat late in the day or evening. Keep your stomach clean and give it time to digest what you've eaten before eating again.

I had that once when I was in my 20s. It felt like a knife had been stuck in my gut and left there. Stay away from seeds. Sesame seeds on the burger buns will agitate it. Some say this condition is partly spiritual. Are you engaging in some sin as a lifestyle choice? Judge yourself honestly. Mine case didn't go away until I addressed this.

Doctors is not so trustworthy

[@lovepeace9902]

I've read that it's used to treat NaNo3 and NaNo2 poisoning and to treat hypoglycemia with lactic acidosis with good results. I assume it's used in larger quantities in these but could potentially have benefits in tiny doses. Ash is used to treat many poisonings since it binds the toxins. Some say that it could have some benefits in small doses even it would lower the absorption of meds. I think it's very important to tell the mechanism of chemical compounds and also what too high doses could do to people since there's always people who think that if something is beneficial to them then more of it is more beneficial leading to deaths due to diet pills, vitamins etc.

[@homomorphic]

It is probably the best understood synthetic drug in the world. I don't take any meds at all, because I don't trust that we know enough about any of them, but MB is an absolute exception because of how well understood it is and how long (way over 100 years) it has been used.
