Thanks for these warnings. Serotonin syndrome is no joke. It can progress and potentially be fatal and it’s likely to go undiagnosed. I was using kratom tea heavily for 5 years and it started giving me serotonin syndrome symptoms and seizures. My blood pressure and head weren’t okay. Then I got brain zaps when quitting cold turkey. It’ll be around a year before I get back to serotonin and dopamine homeostasis. Take caution y’all
Kratom doesn't produce serotonin syndrome when combined with anything. Kratom is a light opiate agonist. Taking pharmaceutical opiates like hydrocodone also do not produce serotonin syndrome when combined with SSRI's or st John's wart
Thank you! I was about to try MB on my 87 yo mother and had the foresight to check on contrindications for the meds she's on. She is on 30mg of Duloxetine. 😬 also 11mg of prednisone daily and 300mg of hydroxychloroquine. Also 12.5mg of hydrochlorathyazide. If i wean her off the Duloxetine...how long before I can start her on MB? Are any of her other meds contraindicated?? Thank you so much for making this video! 👍🙏💗
this is a great question and it should be answered, I hope you can give me your experience with it! because I have been taking about 2-3 drops of iodine ( logul 5% ) for about 5 months, and now I want to try methylene blue , I got it , but wanted to mix it and see what happens in a glass of water , I thought the iodine will evaporate then the water will be blue , but this didn't happen , and I got a glass with semi transparent color and something like sand in it!!! would you please share your ecperience with taking iodine and methylene blue? thank you
Perfectly fine they have no interaction. Your dosage is incredibly low as well. Therapeutic dosages usually start at .25mg/Kg body weight. Using 2% MB gives you 1mg per drop. I usually take 25-40mg daily along with 2-3 drops of Lugols

It's not that rare. A close relative has real migraines occasionally. There are good and effective drugs out there, called Triptanes. It was really a game changer when these came out 20 years ago. However they work on some of the Serotonin receptors. Migraines often come with digestive tract problems like nausea, sickness and vomiting. For these problems there are OTC antihistamines like Dimenhyrinate, very effective as well. Unfortunately, they are also serotinergic. That is so poorly documented, that it took me half an hour to find the references. All this therapy was discussed and prescribed by a neurologist. Nevertheless there they (single person, I just don't want to disclose the gender) were hit by a quite unpleasant Serotonin Syndrom that went on for 2 hours. Just when I prepared to take them to the ER it faded down. But ok, this was one incident in maybe 200 migraine attacks treated that way. But anyhow, you don't want to experience an Serotonin Syndrom....
kathy, with all due respect, Serotonin Syndrome is very common. MDMA causes it, and that is a widely used drug. Energy drinks cause it, Kratom causes it, combining the two causes it. Pre workout causes it. Herbs like St. Johns Wort causes it. Gingko Baloba causes it, Bacopa causes it. Mixing anything aforementioned will cause it. Usually it doesnt kill people. I have had it, accidentally, twice...i combined a diet pill from a GNC with an energy drink later in the day (6 hrs later)...I felt like i was dying and it was perhaps the worst experience of my life. In spite of being educated and having had it once...1 year later it happened again when I tried Kratom.

@@nataliebutler nicely done but if you bother to read this… The only indication of any effect on gut flora is implied at the end of this little snippet in the concluding discussion, which in context, means that the cognitive effect is reversed because of the increase in less desirable bacteria in the gut that these higher dosage ranges… BUT UH........*the range they're talking about is 15 to 50 mg/kg of body weight which is like 1-3 GRAMS* of methylene blue per day. so points for effort, but this is as irrelevant as could possibly be to this person's question 😜. :"In summary, we found that MB treatment in a low dose (15 mg/kg/day) improved the cognitive abilities of mice. In contrast, MB treatment in a high dose (50 mg/kg/day) did not affect the cognitive abilities. We suggest that this might be due to the development of dysbiosis mediated by the increase in the content of Proteobacteria and Deferribacteres."
@@111FreemanSt I'm well read medically speaking for a layperson, but could you dumb it down a little more? Does MB have any negative impact on the good gut flora? A simple yes or no will suffice for me.
@@ateachableheart2649 No, it wouldn't suffice. That's why I gave the explanation I gave and that's why it isn't a simple yes or no when you look it up on a medical website. In small amounts people traditionally orally dose with, like 15 mg, it is supposedly beneficial, in large amounts this reverses and it is harmful.. but those amounts are like a few grams a day. No offense man, but I'm not a medical person either and I didn't go to college. Read it again ;)
The first paragraph explains a direct correlation between it improving the gut Microbiome and cognitive ability, the second paragraph explains how in higher doses this cognitive ability was reversed because of the proliferation of unhealthy bacteria that happens at these higher doses. if I should assume (and nobody should) that you were thinking only of low doses like 15 mg, the simple answer would seem to be yes. But if you want to be more respectful of information, I'm not qualified to give you a "simple yes or no", I just copied and pasted of the information to draw your own from because *I don't know your body* 🤗.
There’s something you forgot at the end… takes a Methylene Blue and get some oxygen to your brain😂 All joking aside … I feel so different when I don’t take the Methylene Blue. Even feel Lethargic . I got Covid a few weeks back, and I took Methylene Blue and it made me feel better so high took a higher dose than I usually take (which is 5 to 7 drops) and the Covid symptoms were so much better after only three days 😊❤❤ Just wanted to share that with you

Great video! I take 5htp for anxiety and it works really well, so I’ll probably pass on oral MB. But Was wondering if topical MB creams for skin would be ok?
Know I'm late to the party, but plan on watching some of your latest MB video. Just hope that the audio is better. Almost impossible to understand everything you say. Get some tech advise and fix this... Thanks
Would you ignorant people stop posturing as if you know stuff with this alarmist BS?. It is not a "potent MAOI, it is NOT AN MAOI AT ALL at ORAL dosage levels. End of story. It is used intravenously in hundreds of milligrams, then AND ONLY THEN is when it is an MAOI. there is a ton of peer-reviewed information about this on PubMed. take the self-stroking spaghetti out of your brains and start studying and actually educate yourselves. only a GPD6 deficiency could be a concern at dosages that low.
@BlessedhealthychefsASMR you'd probably be okay with an herb/spice like that, saffron increases dopamine, they don't really know how I don't think, it might be an maoi itself.. but definitely don't take it with pharmaceuticals, Adderall, antidepressants etc.. even so if you did, maybe just start out slow and see if you'd feel any interaction, AI says methylene blue enhances the rewarding effects of nicotine, which also has maoi constitutes I believe.
One of the ugliest side affects I had from taking methylene blue was an increase in blood pressure, where my systolic rose close to 40 points and diastolic rose about 15 points. It lasted for about 2 days. I'm not sure what to do about this because I really liked the mental clarity obtained from my 1st 2 doses. I mention this here because I believe that people with hypertension should be aware of the risks when taking methylene blue. My dose was 10mg/mL and I took it twice in a single day spread apart over hours.
Thank you for sharing, It confirm to me that my BP goes off the ceiling due o MB intake, although I had e very low dose (10 drops = 5mg per day, for 42 kg weight). I was so scared thta I stop the MB, but like you, I appreciated its benefits, So I start again with much lower dose, and will adjust with the reaction of my BP. At the same time, it lead me to fix (natural method) my BP FIRST for good, so I'll be able to take the MB on a regular basis. Actually, my BP has nicely improved since a few weeks going with my protocol. When it will be stabilized at 120, I wil consider to introduce very low dose of MB from time to time again. Among the benefits, I love it makes my Eye's ring darker with a hue of blue around (I'm asian) and believe it has benefit my Kidneys too 😁
Can methylene Blue 1% USP 0.5 ml dose in 100 ml of water orally be taken with 2000mg CBD sublingually? Currently like taking CBD but is there a leathal interaction at very low doses of methylene blue? My understanding from reading of one article is that CBD is a modulator of seratonin and not an upregulator?
Hello :) thank you so much for this. I understand MB is great for the skin. I made a clay mud mask using very diluted MB water (one drop in a quarter cup of water and I only used a splash of it -- and so, it did not turn me blue).

@leesasterne3403 - I don’t know if you’ll ever see my comment. But taking melatonin is one of the WORST things anyone can do for their health. I hate how it’s so promoted lately it’s ridiculous. The fact that mainstream doctors are ok promoting it should be a big red flag. In short: Taking external sources of melatonin triggers the patient’s body to stop producing their own melatonin. The body says:d “Oh according to our internal sensors we already have melatonin. In fact, too much [for example, if the patient is taking an large dose of melatonin to try to extra to make themselves sleepy]. Therefore we should stop making as much, or stop making altogether, our own melatonin.” And then the patient stops making their own melatonin. And what does this mean? It means the patient’s body becomes 100% dependent on the external supply of melatonin. Or else they have 0 melatonin and cannot sleep. Literally melatonin is what makes your brain sleep. Without enough melatonin, you lay awake for hourssss, wide awake, not sleeping, no matter how badly you want to sleepy. This dependency on external can happen in as short a period as 1-2 weeks of taking external melatonin. Doctors treat it like it’s danger free and good for you. It’s awful for you!!! It’s more addictive than strong antidepressants and the withdrawals can be hell and more dangerous than strong antidepressants! Withdrawal of melatonin, tbe body won’t make its own melatonin for 2 weeks before it recognizes, “oh, the external source of melatonin went away and isn’t coming back.” Even tapered withdrawal will lead to insomnia on some level. Cold turkey stopping external melatonin will lead to insomnia so severe you absolutely CANNOT SLEEP. PERIOD. NO MATTER HOW BAD YOU WANT TO SLEEP. And people can get brain damage, seizures, and even death from sleep deprivation. There’s black box warnings on medications for such highly dangerous risks- and yet melatonin carries the same risks and everyone treats it like it’s freaking healthy candy. Literally my own story: I took melatonin for 2 weeks. It was upon recommendation of a doctor. Then i miraculously stumbled blindly onto an article that saved me to this day. The same article. explaining what I’m now explaining to you. I’m sure that article saved my life and saved me from screwing up my brain and saved me from life long insomnia. And saved me from circadian rhythm problems. I immediately quit the external melatonin cold turkey. The article warned that there would be “rebound insomnia” during the 2 weeks it took my body to learn to make its own melatonin again. Sweet unholy mother of evil. “Rebound insomnia” was phrased too nicely. For 2 weeks straight, I lay WIDE WIDE WIDE AWAKE. 100% unable to sleep. Every single. Night. Anywhere from 4-8 hours laying there wide awake. Yeah literally I laid there in bed for 8 hours wide awake. Couldn’t sleep. It was that bad. I don’t remember if occasionally at the end I’d be so exhausted if doze off for 30-60 minutes or so or what…. If I remember correctly I think that I wasn’t working at the time, I was already partially disabled and applying for disability, so thank God I didn’t have anywhere to be in the morning on 0 sleep. It was the worst 2 weeks from hell. Having to lay in bed not sleeping every night, sometimes alllllll night. All 8 hours. 2 weeks if almost 0 sleep. But I held on tightly to the hope of the article: “you must NOT take melatonin or it undoes your hard work! Just wait it out two weeks, and your body will start making melatonin again!” Thank God that that article was right, and like clockwork around 2 weeks- I started making melatonin again. And I could fall asleep on my own again. Slowly at first. With insomnia. But slowly the insomnia faded into less and less and less hours laying there awake…. Until I could finally lay down, close my eyes, hold still for 15 minutes, and fall asleep under my own body’s natural melatonin power again. But damn I’d that article hadn’t warned me up front about “the 2 weeks of rebound insomnia” and warned me “no matter how bad it gets, do not to go back to the melatonin, this is only temporary insomnia while your brain reboots, it’ll only last 2 weeks, just hold on”- I would’ve gone running back in insomnia desperation. Which would’ve ironically undone the hard work and made the problem worse again. And they was my melatonin hell story. And I took melatonin…. 2 weeks. Total. Before that. There was enough to make my own body stop making alllll its own melatonin. Oh and I wasn’t overdosing on melatonin or anything. Just taking what the bottle said. Now that was 2 weeks. Imagine the horrific damage to our brain and body’s sleep control centers, if someone takes external melatonin for years?!?!?! Or if a child takes it when their brains are developing?!?!?! Or if someone is taking a larger dose of melatonin thinking “it’ll help me sleep MORE.” (Part 2 below)
Had surgery on my neck is methylene blue good for taking after surgery due to inflammation and pain will it help heal the body quicker I'm no longer on pain medicines as of two or three days ago so is this safe to be taking and what is a good dose to start at is 4 mg decent
Thank you for this information! According ton a recommendation of French Dr Laurent Schwartz, I take daily 75mg of methylene powder So far no problems. I wonder if I can continue with my nutritional supplements Which are Chondroitine, glucosamine, Vitamin D3 , magnesium alpha lipoid acid andhydroxycitate, B1 ? I was operated from colon cancer in oct 22, no metastases , a following 6 months chimeo. Recently my ACE marker went up to 15. So I felt scared and wanted to act on my health, trying to avoid another menacing chimeo. Aged 77. Is my choice convenient?
I take perfect amino, which includes L-tryptophan, to preserve lean body mass/skeletal muscle. Would it be okay to simply not take the amino acids on the same days that I am taking methylene blue, I.e. MB 3 days a week, and only take amino acids on the other 4 days? Thank you!
I have just ordered MB online today. I am not on any seretonin medication at the moment. I want to use it for brain fog, energy, depression. I am still trying to figure out how to use it. Do I put a few drops in a glass of water and drink it on an empty stomach?
Are you on any diabetes meds? If you are don't use MB. If you are using 1% take 5 drops and work up from there. I take the 2% and 5 drops a day is enough for me, or I can't sleep!
There are a few different trains of thought on this. My fiance is taking only 20 drops of .5mg per drop MB resulting in a 10mg of MB intake. She has stopped her depression medication and seems very happy with the results. I take 40mg a day because I am trying to get to .5mg per KG of body weight and I feel good results. So start small and listen to your body. If you have more questions please ask. As far as how to take it, you can put the drops directly into your mouth, or drink it in water or a drink of your choice. I do water with a straw to minimize (temporary) staining of the mouth. My fiance drinks hers in orange juice each morning.
I like to drink it with Ascorbic acid because it makes it become a clear liquid if you swish it around for a minute in the cup, as the oxygen makes the reaction happen. If you leave it sit it eventually goes clear on its own

This is also possible while it is working because you are healing with the extra oxygen access. If it’s only after taking, I would play with taking it just before you sleep.

To my understanding, smoking can curtail treatments that increase antioxidant levels (like MB) - it doesn't make them dangerous to combine, but makes them less effective.
soory doc, second language here having a hard time to understand you. I take Methylene - what should I not take with it tigether? My urin is a bit blue , my tongue never.
it's metabolized in the liver and primarily excreted via the kidneys. Any treatment could potentially have detrimental effects, but in general I find MB to be quite well-tolerated.

This is true. It does deplete nitric oxide but that is the point. I highly suggest you read Mark Sloan's "Ultimate Guide to Methylene Blue" as it discusses in great detail why Nitric Oxide is bad for you and how MB helps to reduce it in your body, which again is a good thing.

In contrast, MB treatment in a high dose (50 mg/kg/day) did not affect the cognitive abilities. We suggest that this might be due to the development of dysbiosis mediated by the increase in the content of Proteobacteria and Deferribacteres."
@@111FreemanSt I'm well read medically speaking for a layperson, but could you dumb it down a little more? Does MB have any negative impact on the good gut flora?
A simple yes or no will suffice for me.
@@ateachableheart2649 No, it wouldn't suffice. That's why I gave the explanation I gave and that's why it isn't a simple yes or no when you look it up on a medical website. In small amounts people traditionally orally dose with, like 15 mg, it is supposedly beneficial, in large amounts this reverses and it is harmful.. but those amounts are like a few grams a day. No offense man, but I'm not a medical person either and I didn't go to college. Read it again ;)
The first paragraph explains a direct correlation between it improving the gut Microbiome and cognitive ability, the second paragraph explains how in higher doses this cognitive ability was reversed because of the proliferation of unhealthy bacteria that happens at these higher doses. if I should assume (and nobody should) that you were thinking only of low doses like 15 mg, the simple answer would seem to be yes. But if you want to be more respectful of information, I'm not qualified to give you a "simple yes or no", I just copied and pasted of the information to draw your own from because *I don't know your body* 🤗.
There’s something you forgot at the end… takes a Methylene Blue and get some oxygen to your brain😂
All joking aside … I feel so different when I don’t take the Methylene Blue. Even feel Lethargic .
I got Covid a few weeks back, and I took Methylene Blue and it made me feel better so high took a higher dose than I usually take (which is 5 to 7 drops) and the Covid symptoms were so much better after only three days 😊❤❤
Just wanted to share that with you
Moving around activates blood and oxygen flow…this has a placebo effect….its a synthetic dye used to dye things…there’s a reason it was not used for a cure all 100 years ago people only lived to 50….didnt help them much..and it turns your organs blue…you want blue dyed organs and including the brain go for it….i want real evidence scientific pharmaceutical evidence…I trust nothing you can get on Amazon….most are reagents meant to dye things..it’s an additive…only pharmaceutical grade is made for safe dosed ingestion….this is not for everyone and they only tested on rats…remember if you believe your healthy you are…no need for this shit…all of the so called benefits can be accomplished with a good diet and exercise…don’t trust it🌒🖤🌘

Does Methylene Blue protect the liver from damage while drinking alcohol ?
I'm sure it helps a bit :)
@@halifaxnaturopathicdoctor6227 thank you very much... I usually have MB when I drink 🍷 and take activated charcoal afterwards...
Yes but the highest Effective would be 1800-3000mg of NAC , it heals liver damage extremely fast and reverses fatty liver
It's a very potent maoi.. Don't take it with anything that effects/releases/modulates/prevents reuptake etc of neurotransmitters..
Would you ignorant people stop posturing as if you know stuff with this alarmist BS?. It is not a "potent MAOI, it is NOT AN MAOI AT ALL at ORAL dosage levels. End of story. It is used intravenously in hundreds of milligrams, then AND ONLY THEN is when it is an MAOI. there is a ton of peer-reviewed information about this on PubMed. take the self-stroking spaghetti out of your brains and start studying and actually educate yourselves. only a GPD6 deficiency could be a concern at dosages that low.
I guess that means can't take it with saffron then, bummer!
@BlessedhealthychefsASMR you'd probably be okay with an herb/spice like that, saffron increases dopamine, they don't really know how I don't think, it might be an maoi itself.. but definitely don't take it with pharmaceuticals, Adderall, antidepressants etc.. even so if you did, maybe just start out slow and see if you'd feel any interaction, AI says methylene blue enhances the rewarding effects of nicotine, which also has maoi constitutes I believe.
One of the ugliest side affects I had from taking methylene blue was an increase in blood pressure, where my systolic rose close to 40 points and diastolic rose about 15 points. It lasted for about 2 days. I'm not sure what to do about this because I really liked the mental clarity obtained from my 1st 2 doses. I mention this here because I believe that people with hypertension should be aware of the risks when taking methylene blue. My dose was 10mg/mL and I took it twice in a single day spread apart over hours.
At what dose?
Nitric oxide will counter act the high bp….
Check out Dr. Paul Anderson on methylene blue
Mine went really high too
Im taking nitric oxide to counter act that increase
Thank you for sharing, It confirm to me that my BP goes off the ceiling due o MB intake, although I had e very low dose (10 drops = 5mg per day, for 42 kg weight). I was so scared thta I stop the MB, but like you, I appreciated its benefits, So I start again with much lower dose, and will adjust with the reaction of my BP.
At the same time, it lead me to fix (natural method) my BP FIRST for good, so I'll be able to take the MB on a regular basis.
Actually, my BP has nicely improved since a few weeks going with my protocol.
When it will be stabilized at 120, I wil consider to introduce very low dose of MB from time to time again.
Among the benefits, I love it makes my Eye's ring darker with a hue of blue around (I'm asian) and believe it has benefit my Kidneys too 😁
Amazing video, new subscriber thank you!

Can methylene Blue 1% USP 0.5 ml dose in 100 ml of water orally be taken with 2000mg CBD sublingually?

@@leesasterne3403
ah! and also Melatonin before sleeping (3mg)
@leesasterne3403 - I don’t know if you’ll ever see my comment. But taking melatonin is one of the WORST things anyone can do for their health. I hate how it’s so promoted lately it’s ridiculous. The fact that mainstream doctors are ok promoting it should be a big red flag.
In short:
Taking external sources of melatonin triggers the patient’s body to stop producing their own melatonin.
The body says:d
“Oh according to our internal sensors we already have melatonin. In fact, too much [for example, if the patient is taking an large dose of melatonin to try to extra to make themselves sleepy]. Therefore we should stop making as much, or stop making altogether, our own melatonin.”
And then the patient stops making their own melatonin.
And what does this mean?
It means the patient’s body becomes 100% dependent on the external supply of melatonin. Or else they have 0 melatonin and cannot sleep. Literally melatonin is what makes your brain sleep. Without enough melatonin, you lay awake for hourssss, wide awake, not sleeping, no matter how badly you want to sleepy.
This dependency on external can happen in as short a period as 1-2 weeks of taking external melatonin.
Doctors treat it like it’s danger free and good for you. It’s awful for you!!! It’s more addictive than strong antidepressants and the withdrawals can be hell and more dangerous than strong antidepressants!
Withdrawal of melatonin, tbe body won’t make its own melatonin for 2 weeks before it recognizes, “oh, the external source of melatonin went away and isn’t coming back.”
Even tapered withdrawal will lead to insomnia on some level.
Cold turkey stopping external melatonin will lead to insomnia so severe you absolutely CANNOT SLEEP. PERIOD. NO MATTER HOW BAD YOU WANT TO SLEEP.
And people can get brain damage, seizures, and even death from sleep deprivation.
There’s black box warnings on medications for such highly dangerous risks- and yet melatonin carries the same risks and everyone treats it like it’s freaking healthy candy.
Literally my own story:
I took melatonin for 2 weeks. It was upon recommendation of a doctor. Then i miraculously stumbled blindly onto an article that saved me to this day. The same article. explaining what I’m now explaining to you. I’m sure that article saved my life and saved me from screwing up my brain and saved me from life long insomnia. And saved me from circadian rhythm problems.
I immediately quit the external melatonin cold turkey. The article warned that there would be “rebound insomnia” during the 2 weeks it took my body to learn to make its own melatonin again.
Sweet unholy mother of evil.
“Rebound insomnia” was phrased too nicely.
For 2 weeks straight, I lay WIDE WIDE WIDE AWAKE. 100% unable to sleep. Every single. Night. Anywhere from 4-8 hours laying there wide awake.
Yeah literally I laid there in bed for 8 hours wide awake. Couldn’t sleep. It was that bad. I don’t remember if occasionally at the end I’d be so exhausted if doze off for 30-60 minutes or so or what…. If I remember correctly I think that I wasn’t working at the time, I was already partially disabled and applying for disability, so thank God I didn’t have anywhere to be in the morning on 0 sleep.
It was the worst 2 weeks from hell.
Having to lay in bed not sleeping every night, sometimes alllllll night. All 8 hours.
2 weeks if almost 0 sleep.
But I held on tightly to the hope of the article: “you must NOT take melatonin or it undoes your hard work! Just wait it out two weeks, and your body will start making melatonin again!”
Thank God that that article was right, and like clockwork around 2 weeks- I started making melatonin again. And I could fall asleep on my own again.
Slowly at first. With insomnia. But slowly the insomnia faded into less and less and less hours laying there awake….
Until I could finally lay down, close my eyes, hold still for 15 minutes, and fall asleep under my own body’s natural melatonin power again.
But damn I’d that article hadn’t warned me up front about “the 2 weeks of rebound insomnia” and warned me “no matter how bad it gets, do not to go back to the melatonin, this is only temporary insomnia while your brain reboots, it’ll only last 2 weeks, just hold on”- I would’ve gone running back in insomnia desperation. Which would’ve ironically undone the hard work and made the problem worse again.
And they was my melatonin hell story.
And I took melatonin…. 2 weeks. Total. Before that. There was enough to make my own body stop making alllll its own melatonin. Oh and I wasn’t overdosing on melatonin or anything. Just taking what the bottle said.
Now that was 2 weeks.
Imagine the horrific damage to our brain and body’s sleep control centers, if someone takes external melatonin for years?!?!?!
Or if a child takes it when their brains are developing?!?!?!
Or if someone is taking a larger dose of melatonin thinking “it’ll help me sleep MORE.”
(Part 2 below)

Thank you for this information! According ton a recommendation of French Dr Laurent Schwartz, I take daily 75mg of methylene powder So far no problems. I wonder if I can continue with my nutritional supplements Which are Chondroitine,
glucosamine, Vitamin D3 , magnesium alpha lipoid acid andhydroxycitate, B1 ? I was operated from colon cancer in oct 22, no metastases , a following 6 months chimeo. Recently my ACE marker went up to 15. So I felt scared and wanted to act on my health, trying to avoid another menacing chimeo. Aged 77. Is my choice convenient?
I take perfect amino, which includes L-tryptophan, to preserve lean body mass/skeletal muscle. Would it be okay to simply not take the amino acids on the same days that I am taking methylene blue, I.e. MB 3 days a week, and only take amino acids on the other 4 days? Thank you!
Is ashwagandha and curcumin okay to take with this in your opinion?
I have just ordered MB online today. I am not on any seretonin medication at the moment. I want to use it for brain fog, energy, depression. I am still trying to figure out how to use it. Do I put a few drops in a glass of water and drink it on an empty stomach?
Are you on any diabetes meds? If you are don't use MB. If you are using 1% take 5 drops and work up from there. I take the 2% and 5 drops a day is enough for me, or I can't sleep!
@@CraftEccentricity no I am not diabetic.
There are a few different trains of thought on this. My fiance is taking only 20 drops of .5mg per drop MB resulting in a 10mg of MB intake. She has stopped her depression medication and seems very happy with the results.
I take 40mg a day because I am trying to get to .5mg per KG of body weight and I feel good results.
So start small and listen to your body. If you have more questions please ask.
As far as how to take it, you can put the drops directly into your mouth, or drink it in water or a drink of your choice. I do water with a straw to minimize (temporary) staining of the mouth. My fiance drinks hers in orange juice each morning.
I like to drink it with Ascorbic acid because it makes it become a clear liquid if you swish it around for a minute in the cup, as the oxygen makes the reaction happen. If you leave it sit it eventually goes clear on its own
