It's really funny when a video about supplements tells you to "talk to your doctor, " as if any doctor even knows the name of these supplements, much less how to use them. Doctors today don't treat patients, they treat lab tests; you can literally be falling apart in front of their face, and all they'll tell you is "your lab work is fine, you're healthy, it's all in your head." Any chronically ill person with internet access and some curiosity knows more about their own illness than doctors do.

I've been using MB for about 7 years now based on the research and recommendations of Dr Francisco Gonzales Lima (University of Texas, Austin) Back when I started it was an exceptionally rare supplement, (my GP thinks I am very odd). I had trouble finding a MB dealer so I found a lab supplier which provides a certificate of analysis with every batch. It is actually a little more pure than the USP standards require so I'm comfortable taking it. Thanks for the video.

Very appropriate and beneficial information. Love the common sense content. This dude should be America's Surgeon General. Gets my vote.

[auntiebarnes]

I can't get a doctor here in New Mexico, of any kind. Methylene blue from Amazon has dramatically improved my health.

[tracy]

I wish I knew where to find a doctor who knows about this and so many other things I've learned on your podcasts.
Thank you so much. I just found you and subscribed.❤

[sherireuther]

Thank you for the service of improving our knowledge about taking care of our health. I just found you and immediately subscribed. Now on to binge watching 🙋‍♀️🙏.

Here in EU you can order it online, in pharmaceutical grade.

[theeprincess]

Why are the online sellers allowed to say pharmaceutical grade

[lisbonlover]

thanks for this info doc, so do we need to make sure we see the certificate to ensure it's USP grade?

[rikkshow]

Paul, is the reagent grade MB heavy metal an Internet myth? I've seen several say this, but nobody ever shows any lab data. I have not found lab data anywhere. You confirmed you looked a lot, so can you please provide evidence of metal toxicity, heavy metal content in reagent grade.
Thanks!

PS, please do not add to this Internet myth by not providing links to metal toxicity lab reports.

FYI: Pharmaceutical (USP) grade is sold on Amazon from multiple brands. Some of them post their certificate of analysis. No prescription needed in the US.

[happytohelpu]

No doctor that I know would prescribe this stuff, so that obviously is a problem. I understand the caution however and will certainly adhere to that suggestion. Ultimately, it means I probably won't be able to get the safe stuff so I'm screwed if I want to use it.

What is an average cost for USP certified Methylene Blue from a pharmacy?
Does the USP Convention go after sellers who might falsely state that their product is USP certified?
Is there a large price difference between industrial grade and pharmaceutical grade?

[jodyskaggs]

Can be used to improve CKD? Thanks so much for the information.

[stephaneislistening]

These slides with bold punch lines are a very good idea to get the messages across ! Good job dear Doctor ! Thank you !

[jeffrey]

Troscriptions for mb designed n run by four md's ! It's safe n over counter no rx needed. It's grandfathered and easy to take buccal troches.

[maintenance-zone]

Didn't address the real danger tyramines with methylene blue extreme danger.

[solutionstenants]

Dr Paul thank you for bringing this info to the average person like me.

[GrumpyOldGuy]

Yea, good luck getting your primary care doctor to prescribe MBlue. If ONLY it was that easy.

[JasonCrawhorn]

Would there be an issue with taking mythlene blue and l citrulline in combination?
