The Truth About Methylene Blue: Is It Safe?

Methylene blue is a medication that has been used for years to treat several medical disorders, especially in the emergency room.

I'll probably get shot down for this, but I think it needs to be said.

I first started taking it a couple of weeks ago. I took the absolute minimum dose mixed with water.

What I noticed is I had the feeling overall of being a bit more energised BUT I also started getting heart palpitations. I wasn't 100% sure if it was down to MB or not.

Anyway I broke the dropper in the bottle and for some inexplicable reason I threw caution to the wind and upped the dosage to around a half a teaspoon, again mixed with water.

Very shortly after I took it, I felt flushed and light headed and my heart started racing like never before. I thought I was a gonner. Fortunately it calmed down pretty quickly.

Anyway, basically this stuff is powerful, it might be everything that it's cracked out to be, but it needs to be treated with respect and caution.

Anyway that's my cautionary tale. I'm male in my fifties and around 85KG for context.

It's changed my life. It helped me recover from ME, having suffered for nearly 30 years. I got my brain back too. Seriously. No more morphine or duloxetine. It helped me get off those too.

It’s amazing. My brother, MD, who practices alternative medicine sent it to me for long COVID brain fog and post concussion dizziness, I felt better immediately. An unexpected side effect is that it has treated a life long depression and cleared up mucus which was effecting my singing voice. He also sent me a link for how to put it into vegan capsules for my friends who are concerned about blue stains on their teeth. It’s a wonder drug.

I have tapered off Zoloft. If you start on high doses, then yes, there is a chance of serotonin syndrome. Many people have tapped off of SSRIs due to its effectiveness on decreasing MAOI oxidation of dopamine and serotonin. I started low dose, increased and stopped my meds. Also Vets and the elderly are using it for PTSD and dementia.

There should be a huge warning to the many people taking anti-depressants that they should NOT take this!

Meth blue saved my life. Started when I was 30 years old. Now I’m 17 years old. Couldn’t be happier.

You should always be extremely cautious with dosages.Because methylene blue has a lot of benefits.By significant side effects if the dosage is too high

It's also an antimicrobial. The one question that no one seems to address is how Methylene Blue affects the gut microbiome.

Check out Chase Hughes, he has a short video on his site about his methene blue that cured his brain seizures. There is a link and name of the Dr and company to get this product from and protocols for melatonin.

I was recently in a healing retreat center in Baja Mexico and the Drs. use this for their Lyme Patients many of them who claim they have felt so much better after their first dose of the Methylene IV others did have detox symptoms after but after a couple doses of IVs the noticed how much it was helping them. It all depends on the person and underlying conditions.

What I do know is that if a person is on depression medication, methylene blue is not advisable to consume.

I took it once under my tongue. Tiny piece like a tic tack. I did a 3 hour Yoga, breathwork and ecstatic dance! I felt great! I’m almost 67.

I take it - I do wonder if they'll find a blue brain after I'm gone.

In the 60's I used to get these pills from the drugstore, $2 or $3 for a bottle. I tended towards chronic UTI's, and it kept it from advancing to a full infection requiring antibiotic. Unfortunately when it becomes 'trendy' the price goes up.
