today we’re going to discuss something

called methylene blue now I haven’t done

a video on this ever simply because not

a natural remedy it’s actually a

synthetic drug but it is sold over the

counter and it’s been around for a very

long time and it has some fascinating

properties that I think you need to know

about now it was discovered in

1876 I’m not mistaken and it was the

first fully synthetic drug in medicine

it was used as one of the first

antibiotics it was used as one of the

first antipsychotic drugs in 1891 it was

used for malaria in fact nowadays even

the emergency room doctors have it ready

if someone has either cyanide poisoning

or carbon monoxide poisoning and so it

is a compound that creates some very

interesting effects at lower doses it

can act as an antioxidant I’m talking

about the dose of 0.5 milligrams to four

milligrams per kilogram weight so for

example I weigh 185 pounds okay

that’s roughly around 84 kilograms so if

you do the math I would need per day

roughly On The Low End about 42 drops

because it comes in liquid and uh in one

drop you have 0.5 milligrams so if I

were going to take it I would take like

10 drops in some water four times a day

and if you’re going to try this remedy I

would definitely make sure you get the

USP pharmaceutical grade at one percent

solution which will give you about 0.5

milligrams per drop so what type of

conditions would methylene blue

potentially help someone with well

septic shock especially if the blood

pressure has dropped significantly

anaphylaxis which is anaphylactic shock

a very severe allergy reaction if

someone had a virus because it has very

potent antiviral properties it’s good

for brain fog memory loss it’s been

studied to help people with depression

or anti-candida properties as well it

also apparently is really effective in

tissues that demand high amounts of

oxygen which I’m going to explain in a

little bit why like neurodegenerative

conditions like Alzheimer’s Parkinson’s

it’s even good for things like gout

because it can help break down uric acid

and low doses it acts as an antioxidant

as well as an anti-inflammatory so

typically anything that involves

mitochondrial dysfunction and benefit

from methylene blue so what I want to

explain is

um

how it actually works what is it doing

in the body which is actually a this is

very interesting so what it does in the

body it acts as an artificial

electron recycler now let me kind of

explain this

let’s Envision you have a battery right

and batteries are filled with these

electrons that are stored right and so

you need these electrons to generate

energy and you also have electrons going

on in your body as well in the

mitochondria in fact your body converts

food into electrons stored in the ATP

molecule for energy and so in our

mitochondras we have a lot of electron

transfer exchange going on methylene

blue apparently has the ability

to remove or add electrons depending on

what part of the body needs them or it

doesn’t need them so it seems to help

correct this shuffling round of

electrons which medically has this term

called redox cycling so this is one of

the reasons why this could give someone

with fatigue more energy now since we’re

talking about the mitochondria

and this is the heart of your metabolism

in the conversion from food into energy

oxygen is also involved so methylene

blue helps the mitochondria absorb and

transport oxygen it actually improves

the way the body uses oxygen and so you

can imagine all the different problems

that this could potentially help someone

with now there is some contraindications

if someone is taking an SSRI which for

depression for example you wouldn’t want

to take this as the potential side

effect of increasing too much serotonin

and of course before taking something

like this check with your doctor just to

make sure there’s no contraindications

but I wanted to put this at least on

your radar so you can understand a

little bit more and you can maybe buy a

book and and read up on it but I think

it could potentially help a lot of

people with certain

problems related to this oxygen and

electron transfer issue inside the

mitochondria now since we’re on the

topic of this mitochondrial dysfunction
