Communicated with Dr. Francisco Lima-Gonzalez.... MB acts as both an antioxidant and oxidant, and can be mixed with some powdered Vitamin C to reduce it's staining quality.... so mix with C and drink through straw to reduce any discoloration of teeth.

[@stevoblevo]

why would you want to ingest MB already reduced? now it needs to be re-enabled to function in those necessary contexts. If it doesn't have an electron to donate how would it donate it's electron at any stage of the transport chain?

[@chucksul4350]

I use 2 ml (40 drops), add 1/4 tsp of ascorbic acid in 8 oz of water and let it set until the mixture turns clear and then drink it. The bitter taste of the MB is gone too. The color returns in my body as my urine is blue green.

[@kurtjohn5554]

When I think of toxins it is as garbage to get it out of the body and cells but watching the videos it seems to be just adding and electron and taking one away. I hope MB removes the garbage so like when one has a cold more fluid shud be drank to remove the toxins. If there is a certain amount of MB that is required to do this, I do 2 drops/day?

Dr. Berg says if you're 150 lbs or so you could take 10 drops of the USP grade, 2%, 4 times a day. We've been taking it once a day and it seems to help with energy & mental clarity.

When I began taking MB in March ‘23, the recommended low-ish end of the daily low dosage was 1mg/kg of my body weight of 80 kg. So that was 160 drops, basically 10 full droppers. That is roughly 100x what is recommended here. Several sources recommend 0.5 - 4mg per kg of body weight. I could take 40 droppers full and still be considered low dosage.

[@livincincy4498]

Most of the dosage information out there is for clinical treatment by a physician. This is under their care and supervision. What most people do at home is a bottle of 1% drops from Amazon. In this case a low dose is recommended. This is why you take drops. Starting with 1 or 2 each day. Two separate times of day is often recommended. It is also recommended to cycle on and off of it. The maximum number of drops per day can’t really be defined for everyone. It seems minimal equals maximum as far as therapeutic use. Guessing, stay below half the clinically recommended dose used by doctors.

Great video - wife and I have been enjoying a great experience with MB. Question though… for the first couple of weeks my urine output was blue. Now over the past few days it’s remained the normal color it was prior to MB which is a very light yellow. I stay well hydrated and am outdoors quite a bit. I also do red light therapy at night using Joovv. Not sure if those last two apply but I thought I’d mention it in case UV/IR exposure has an impact. Is it strange I’m no longer eliminating any of the blue pigment?

[@Mike9201984]

Did the benefits remain despite your urine returning to normal color?

[@Mike9201984]

To answer my own question for anyone else wondering, after several months of use my urine for the most part has returned to normal color unless I up the dosage for the day. Normal dosage ranges from 10-25 mg per day. The effects are still the same. My long Covid symptoms have subsided but the virus itself persists and I recognize when I’m exposed to new variants. I work in a hospital so it’s everywhere. I think the MB helps me fend off the virus. It could also be the variants are less virulent. One thing to note, if I take a week off I don’t seem to notice much of a drop off in energy or other ill-effect., however I sleep very well once I begin dosing again.

I can not tolerate any alcohol at all, that brings wretched migraines for days on end. I also can’t have much sugar. Glutathione IVs (2,000 mg) have helped. When I’m super inflamed, a 24-48 hr fast helps shut it down. I tried LDN for 1 day but I felt awful, it could have been a fluke. I might try it again.

This is a bit confusing, since the lowest effective dose of MB is often cited as .5mg per kg of body weight. I started out small (a few drops a day) but didn't notice a positive effect until I took the .5mg/kg dose, which is much higher than 22 drops. Any reason why you're recommending a maximum dose here of only 22 drops when others who have studied MB dosing recommend between .5mg/kg - 4mg/kg? Thanks!

[@Richexperience1]

@@randompiano I have taken up to 60 drops a day with no problem (I weigh around 160 lbs). But it kind of depends on your reasons for taking it, I think, and I wouldn't take that dosage long term.

[@randompiano]

I've been getting strange feelings in isolated parts of my brain and generally not well . I took a break from it and will go back on it with minimal dosage. I mixed the powder with normal bottled springwater to create my 1% solution. But because you REALLY need to mix it properly for a while (it doesn't all dissolve properly, you have to keep on mixing properly for a while) I added another 80ml of water so my drops will be even less than 0.5 so hopefully I won't overdose. I'll take smaller amounts and see how it goes

[@lastyear2012]

​@@randompiano Should not take this if you are on any antidepressant. Would just be a hunch.

[@jazzsnare]

I thought that it was .5 mg/Kg. which was low-dose, which is much, much more than what is said here. I would need 70 mg per dose to hit that. So, which is the accurate "low-dose"? My bottle did not say to progressively increase, so I started at 5 mg. I have to say I did feel more energetic the next day, all day, but I yawned a lot, which I did not understand. I do not see how one would measure a gram of powder. That would require a very sensitive scale and then getting it from there to a glass, etc. At 70 mg/day, btw, it is far from cheap. I would like to get clearer on whether MB only works for those with impaired metabolic metabolism, or for everyone despite the lack of metabolic impairment. In other words, we do not need an electron recycler if the electron chain is working, all four components and ATP synthase. Is this only for those people with impairments, or what would be the mechanism for its improvement if everything is already OK?? Good luck finding a doctor who will work with you on MB.

[@danam.5433]

On eBay, the powder is sold in 1gram weight for approx. $50, bit expensive.

[@birage9885]

Can MB be used with other antioxidants, does it enhance them of antagonize them? Nobody seems to address this, yet most people interested in MB are already using a regimen high in antioxidants. Would be nice to know if MB is fine to use with other supplements.

[@Lauren-vd4qe]

i wd b careful too much oxidation in your brain might blow it up...

[@stevoblevo]

depends on which antioxidants. many oxidants (like methylene blue) have 'antioxidant' functions. some "antioxidants" are reducers and as such could cause the opposite problem of "reductive stress" which causes a lack of cellular energy due to inhibited oxidation. lots of nuance here. it's not so cut and dry as "oxidant bad; antioxidant good" 'oxidative stress' is less a problem of roaming oxidants and more a problem of incomplete oxidation in the Electron Transport Chain. Imagine a truck engine with something wrong with it causing it to smoke. The solution isn't more compounds to clean up the exhaust. The better solution is to fix the engine's problem and make it run clean. Methylene blue fixes the mitochondrial (engine) hiccups. It can step in at any complex of the chain to provide the necessary fuel. Not only can it urgently fill in as needed, it also will chemically clean any residual exhaust from the incomplete, struggling, inefficient process. More clean energy is the result. so to answer your question "can MB be used with other antioxidants?" yes and no. it can be used with other truly effective ones which are probably just as nuanced and may be 'oxidants' or 'free radicals' themselves while acting as 'antioxidants' in certain contexts. But MB may be inhibited by blanket 'antioxidants' which may merely be universal reducers (ascorbic acid comes to mind). perhaps your question will guide your journey to the next question(s): "What makes an 'antioxidant?' and is that even good? in which context?" enjoy that journey. it's a real trip! to sum: 'antioxidant' is often marketing like "organic" and doesn't always mean much. MB (and others like red light/PBMT/LLLT, even sugar/fructose) is "pro-metabolic" which is the real name of the game. It's like going from buying "certified organic" at Whole Foods to knowing the farmer you buy free-range pasture-raised food from. Pro-metabolic, meaning encouraging, empowering, enabling mitochondria to be as healthy as possible no matter the "oxidant/anti-oxidant/reducer" marketing/chemistry label. feel free to ask more clarification. Cheers!

[@Deadbolthead]

How do you know or how can you tell if your dosage is enough or too much?

[@laserhobbyist9751]

From what I have been able to gather, under 2 mg per kg of weight is safe for healthy people, above 7 mg per kilogram of body weight can be poison. If your liver function is compromised I wouldn't even take 1 mg per kg of weight myself, better to consult a doctor if you have that issue. Some individuals might not even know their liver is not functioning well, if you are a heavy drinker you can assume that. Methylene blue works at low doses, at high it has the opposite effect, best to stay conservative. Many individuals have good results at far lower amounts, 1 mg a day works for some, others 5 to 10 or more. For my body weight at over 100 kg I can take two hundred mg a day safely, but I don't want to push that high, I'm staying at twenty mg a day, if I do take higher amounts I will probably limit to 50 mg a day. My thought is to only take the minimum amount needed to produce results but I am not a doctor, do your own research.

Dr. Been, I am left somewhat confused. A maximum of 22 drops yields a max dose of 11mg. But low-dose MB therapy suggest 0.5 - 4.0 mg/kg of body weight; a 70 kg (154 lb) person on low-dose MB therapy could theoretically consume 35 - 280 mg. Is this talk here strictly for Covid/vaccine treatment and wholly unrelated to low-dose MB therapy?

[@Jan-lp9uw]

I have buzzing/vibrations in all of my limbs after a mild COVID, but I would not describe it as pain. I also have severe tightness in my neck and traps. Two years now. Will Methylene Blue also help with this? One doctor said small fiber neuropathy, another suggested central nervous system as the cause. Both said they don't know what is causing it. Blood work only came back with high levels of B6, presumably from taking a multi-vitamin. MRI shows no pinched nerve, however three small perineural cysts at lower levels of the cervical spine.

[@MrFastmq]

Check out b6 toxicity it can cause neuropathy. It goes away after stoping the b6 suplememts and food. Exercise also helps

[@Jan-lp9uw]

@@MrFastmq I had known about that so I never tried taking a B6 supplement. I was surprised my blood work came back with high levels of B6. My neurologist told me stop taking the multi-vitamin I had been taking. He said that often multi-vitamins have too much B6. I stopped that a little over two months ago but I still have the vibrations/buzzing. He said it may take a while for it to go away, assuming that is the cause.

I am also dealing with extreme neck stiffness and tightness in the traps. Ivermectin has helped sometimes, as has acupuncture with chiropractic adjustment and a low carb/high fat diet (no seed oils though) Sugar and carbs seem to make the inflammation much worse. Magnesium spray is helpful. I spray the area, massage and do gentle stretches. I take magnesium glycinate pills as well, it’s a natural muscle relaxer. I also plan on trying magnesium threonate. Sorry you are dealing with this too, hope you find what works for you.

do you put the drops in 200 ml of water and drink it all at once?

[@magmasunburst9331]

I got some high-quality powder and I went to mix it in some water with a scale. It came out of a viol in some tiny granules that did not disperse into a powder, but I think that's a good thing because that could have been messy. There was about twelve of these that came out and I just put them in water and it ended up turning completely blue but it didn't seem to affect the scale at all. I had it on gram and it didn't go to .1. I took a small sip of that water. Do you think that's effective first dose?

[@ashleylala4293]

I am only taking 3 drops and increasing one drop at a time. I would not “sip” it.

I’ve been going back-and-forth I started out with 12 drops, which may have been a little extreme but I have a tendency to be what is known as a low riser meaning I will fly closer to the ground to get food kind of like a hawk does as opposed to a high-rise or who will not take the chance but anyway I digress I am now using about 26 drops and I’m thinking about cutting it back to 20 which means I am taking 10 milligrams, and I will see how that works for me I’ve been researching various reactions, and so far nothing extreme my workouts are pretty good I only do yoga for the most part with a little bit of weight lifting and weighted rope jumping

[@beachbliss9366]

Maybe it’s increasing your detox ability and you’re getting redistribution of toxins. Try taking a binder a few hours after you’ve taken it. Like bentonite clay, zeolite spray or activated charcoal.

[@maryn.4492]

I wonder if it's reacting to something you're taking, like a serotonin upper?

[@beachbliss9366]

Try taking a binder like Chlorella, sarsaparilla, bentonite clay or activated charcoal 1 hour after MB and see if that helps until your body tolerates it better. It might be causing you to release toxins too quickly for your liver.

[@cleob9956]

@@maryn.4492 Good point, but I did make sure that I wasn’t taking anything that could cause that reaction. I wonder if there’s a chance I have that genetic thing that you have to watch for. I’m a woman though, and I know the risk for that is higher in men. Not only does it make me feel anxious, it just makes me feel unwell. Maybe I got a bad batch… and then again I’m always super sensitive to anything I put in my body. Have a nice evening!

[@guambroker]

i make my anti-aging "brew" in the morning with tall glass of water. I combine 50mg MB, powder of 500mg each of TUDCA, NAC, NMN, Resveratrol, sometimes ill add some sugar free koolaid. Down the whole thing.

[@stevoblevo]

seems silly. what's your reasoning? seems like MB would be deactivated by many of those compounds. you're mixing oxidants and reducers. it's like you mix solutions of HCl with NaOH and then expect to get the benefit of each when in actuality you could just drink some salt water which is what you made, and has the benefits of neither original compounds. you gotta figure out which team you want to support, oxidants or reducers. pick a side. edit: add link to my thoughts from an earlier comment: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZraf4CbbtateZY&lc=Ugwtpzq5NSpVxKh4sGJ4AaABAg.9oeyiWOpB4B9pQRY4k57zM

it doesn't actually stain your teeth. it stains the some of "non-teeth" parts of your teeth. unless you're taking larger doses that is. but I doubt you'd have any natural enamel stained blue from taking 15mg or less per day (30 drops). I speak from experience.

So I'm hearing to start out with 1 drop. But they don't say are you supposed to mix it in water? Or do you put 2 drops on your tongue or under it? Exactly how are you supposed to take these drops. I mean if you work your way up to 10 drops that seems like it would turn your whole mouth blue. Maybe even stain your teeth.

[@marykjones4084]

It can be mixed with water or juice. I only take 3 drops so I mix it into a few ounces of water and drink it with a straw.

I have been taking 0.5 a day for a week, and only had blue pee once. I have upted the dosage to 2mg a day and still dont have blue pee. I think I am seriously ill and wondered if it is fighting an infection that requires me to keep upting the dosage till the pee turns blue/green? The suspected infection is encephalitis. My GP refuses to accept I have an infection and just treats the symptoms, eg tablets to stop sweats, tablets to increase saliva, tablets to stop itching and tablets for anxiety. Blue Methyene is my only hope and any advice or help[ is much appreciated. @drbeen @longstoryshort #longstoryshort #drbeen

@@monag.769 I was taking the 0.5ml a day and didn't see any difference. My health was going down hill rapidly, so I upted the dosage. At one point I think I had the dosage correct, but went beyond correct dosage. My health improved in the space of 24hrs, so much so people saw the difference, even heard the difference over the phone. I stopped taking it for a week or so, and have now started at 2ml a day, then 3ml. I will see how 3ml goes for a few days then upt if need be. One thing is for sure, on the right dosage, the results were demonstrable, to the extent friends wanted some. Hopefully on getting the right dosage I can repeat what it did for me in the 2nd week.
