The DIY crowd is already well ahead of this dermatologist. They've figured out how to apply it to skin without turning blue and still having the same concentration as was used in the experiments.

She's wrong about "turns your skin blue." Hogwash, it turns it young!

[biohackingalchemy]

this "doctor" is very closed minded and full of herself.

[queenbee]

Yes how dare people concoct their own beauty formulas! How dare we not purchase from the big business and steal their money. Dear doctors, we are not dumb, surprise surprise 😉

[channel-bit]

Ugh "doctors" like her are the WORST!

[carloscarion]

This chick doesn’t know what she’s talking about I mix it with a carrier oil and it did not turn my skin blue I use it all the time and I take it internally as well, it’s awesome stuff these people should go back to the drawing board of the classroom or wherever they’re getting their information and get the right information

[ducatigrrl]

Works fantastic and gave me my life back

I've had pink urine from eating beats. I don't care if it turns my urine blue.

[docbrown]

Just add vitamin C and the color goes away 😑

[kaiwairua]

Dont use this!! It will
Make you healthy🤣 typical always got to bang something that works

[bonnenaturel]

She is lying. All you have to do to get rid of the color blue is add ascorbic acid.

[carloscarion]

So just to be clear if one ingests methylene blue it will affect the thickness of the skin and change skin color as well or is that just a topical thing that happens?

[divergentthg]

I'm a short guy now I can turn myself into a Smurf alright lol. Speaking of Smurf when you choke one of them what color does it change?

[shawnbrooks]

We are there - they don't want you using anything that doesn't make them rich.

My doctor is treating me with this for bartonella and I can confirm, it gives you bright blue pee that will stain your toilet bowl lol
