I have seen them give it in one of Noah Wylie’s shows ..ER or The Pit. Don’t remember the condition.

I will have to look into it.

Your trivia of the day:

MB was invented by Johann Konrad Dippel, an alchemist, more commonly remembered as a Baron of Frankenstein, who was born at Castle Frankenstein.

He claimed to invent various miracle substances and rumors always persisted that he experimented on cadavers and was even involved in grave robbing. MB was one of his miracle substances.

Castle Frankenstein did, in fact, blow up partially at one time, but that was probably after Dipple was dead.

While some authorities disagree, his exploits and rumors around him likely had some influence on Mary Shelley.

btw, if you are african american don’t do this drug until you have been tested for g6pd. Women can have the disorder but it mostly seems to appear in men.

I had to have the test before I could consider a drug for autoimmune issues. I actually tested above normal but no one paid attention or even knew what to do with that test result. They were looking for abnormally low

There are plenty of humans using it—so we should be grateful they are doing the human testing so we don’t have to....

Lol.

I didn’t see any mention of the fact ‘Methblue’ as I call it, is put into millions of people every month for MRIs. I recently had one done on my brain. When it was over I mentioned to the attending doctor that I felt odd, clear headed. I said, “After all that racket for an hour I expected to feel awful.” She smiled and said, “Kind of like a reset?” I said, “Yeah, kind-a.” She just smiled. So, I started taking it. I do feel more “clear”, and I like that.

To address a few comments here, ahead of sharing my dosing protocol soon, it will be low-dose, well below 1 mg/kg to minimize risks of serotonin syndrome and oxidative stress. I’m not taking any other serotonergic medications or supplements (like SSRIs or 5HTP). Also, I’ll be cycling to prevent bioaccumulation.

“So far, most of what’s known about the substance’s effects on the brain comes from studies in rats and in cells grown in a lab dish – not in people.”

I know nothing about this substance, but the proceeding statement is just plain STUPID (urinalists).

To it I say DUH!

That’s how studies are DONE! Maybe the writer should volunteer to be the human Guinee Pig for this product.

are you sure about that???????

they can give a blue injection that is Gadolinium based.

no one said anything to me about this being injected into me when I had an MRI and then had a bad reaction to it.

“Methylene blue inhibits a molecule called monoamine oxidase”

You have to be careful with MAO inhibitors. A while back I read about the wonders of Ecklonia cava extract and gave it a try.

It made me feel horrible. As it turns out Ecklonia phlorotannins are MAO inhibitors, so if in doubt ask a doctor or pharmacist.

China needed that back in 1949.

I read that it is used every day for MRIs. Thanks, I’ll ask what they used on me. I’ve had two MRIs with no ill effects.

I am in spring shape which means I took months off of training during the winter. I started Methylene Blue about 5 weeks ago.

With just a couple of workouts I was able to do 25 pullups, which before my best was 17.

Using Strava I hit the trails near my house and was able to break a 15 year record. Again I don’t expect to do such things until September or so after a good season.

My allergies are usually really bad this time of year and the first few rides lay me out for a couple of weeks after a ride. This year they are not a problem.

Also at 70 my skin is thinning so I take collagen. I still do but since the MB it is working GREAT.

Most people I’ve talked to don’t have such results with MB, but I’d like to find out if others have seen similar results...

Gadolinium issues can be cumulative. It is well known that it accumulates in your body. What is disputed is whether those deposits can cause you harm.

I suspect genetics plays a role in it.

Before your next MRI you should thoroughly research it. Make a determination if you really need the contrast. And then see what you might take to mitigate any damage.
