I'm 28, going to start this and become an immortal. See you guys in 1, 000 years.

[garyreid]

I am willing to try anything to improve my health situation from this day forward.

Day 5 using beginning to see positive progress

[lilliannewcomb]

I use it every day. 5 drops in water and drink it down. Brush your teeth or rinse mouth vigorously. It is amazing for infections, brain fog etc etc etc.

how long can you continue taking methylene blue??

[MXF]

I take it orally. Does it work this way, too?

[michellechandler-whiseant]

What’s the maximum percentage that you can use in a skin cream? I’ve been really excited to learn about that.

Can I mix methylene blue in with Lugol's iodine & water?

[luisalvarez]

Look carefully at the plots. Very modest differences that are barely out of the statistical noise.

So you're saying the methylene blue makes my hair grow back and makes my hair black like it used to be?

[nettiemarie]

But is it safe for oral use?? Ive got gyrodactylus, a salmon parasite that this supposedly kills but I cant find it available anywhere...

Methlyene blue supposed to be blue color why is ur cream white

[Brian-gxyz]

Can anybody prescribe a dosage for covid?

[MikaelVitalyVyacheslav-bhfk]

methylene blue is an old compound and super cheap. No one's making money off this

[kristinacoulthread]

I bought this from mitolabs but to add to our water. It has really turned the water brilliant blur, 1 drop per litre was the recommended dose but my family are concerned about drinking the blue water . Are we 💯 it's safe to do so? Surely our food and drinks will all be turning blue now 🤣

[Cineenvenordquist]

Wow, has this stuff gone a ways from being a teratogenic (that method can't have been right?) stain (good for 3 days of your face being a new kind'a inscrutible) and guestimator of dairy freshness for the insensible to a precious antioxidant which can be suitable for facial use. Maybe we're just a turn of art away from capsacin being fine on faces too (instead of very stressful!) Article's Open Access peeps, go nuts.

[guchavela]

Can you drink moderate amounts of alcohol while taking this?

[marzymarrz]

I'm not so sure its a well known anything. I never heard of it.

[SetTheCurve]

ROS and cell death is not necessarily related to aging. This is hype.
