Methylene blue is pharmaceutical poison. We can stop the poisoning now, those days are coming to an end.Maybe it’s something else that is killing them and not the Methylene Blue.
Yeah, no one acutely dies from lower doses when using a couple mg, probably. Doctors who treat Lyme with MB usually use something around 100mg, which is already a very high dose. That's not far away from 300mg though.
People usually take a couple mgs.
300 micrograms are already very potent. It's used as a medication for Methemoglobinemia, but even for that there are probably safer alternatives that don't poison the body. And beyond using it for strict medical purposes, it's just a lifestyle drug with unknown consequences.
No one needs a synthetic dye in their system for health. As with all medications, some people can certainly get relief from issues, but it's still allopathic thinking.
Did the user on X post a specific paper, by any chance? Was it this one you've linked?
Textile industries usually release a large amount of MB dyes in natural water sources, which becomes a health threat to human beings and microbes [99]. MB dye is harmful to human health above a certain concentration due to its substantial toxicity [24]. MB is toxic, carcinogenic, and non-biodegradable and can cause a serious threat to human health and destructive effects on the environment [100,101]. MB causes several risks to human health such as respiratory distress, abdominal disorders, blindness, and digestive and mental disorders [15,102]. It also causes nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, cyanosis, shock, gastritis, jaundice, methemoglobinemia, tissue necrosis, and increased heart rate, causing the death of premature cells in tissues and skin/eye irritations [103,104,105,106,107]. MB contacts with skin may result in skin redness and itching [108]. The no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) for the MB in rats was observed to be 25 mg kg−1 [109].
Does she talk about who pushed MB into the alternative health community?
I don't know about that user (Kelsey Kenney) and her sources.
Many of her posts show a lack of nuance, which puts me off - I usually don't read such people, especially not on twitter. But I think she is on the right track.
I have not seen evidence that methylene blue is outright toxic in small amounts. the only issue seems to be serotonin-related in larger amounts. The images she shared apparently is from people who took very high doses, died, and then of course the body would not be able to detoxify the rest of the MB, and thus cells stay blue. Whether they died due to the MB, I don't know, but in doses of >300mg, I wouldn't rule it out. Having blue dye in the brain, even temporarily, doesn't sound like a good thing, no matter the dose.
The interesting question is not what happens in the body at extremely high doses, but at regular "low" doses of 5-30mg, which is the common dosage.
In the end, it is an untested drug and no one knows the long-term consequences and whether the body is able to excrete all of the MB.
MB is a poison, there is no doubt about it. Some poisons can have a therepeutic effect in low doses that are below the acute toxicity treshold.
Review on Methylene Blue: Its Properties, Uses, Toxicity and Photodegradation
The unavailability of clean drinking water is one of the significant health issues in modern times. Industrial dyes are one of the dominant chemicals that make water unfit for drinking. Among these dyes, methylene blue (MB) is toxic, carcinogenic, and non-biodegradable and can cause a severe...www.mdpi.com
but the image the user shared in the first post clearly shows they simply put "methylene blue brain" into a Google (?) search, there is nothing whatsoever to suggest that the images are from people who took high doses of it and died, unless I'm missing something?
I haven't seen anything especially substantial and I'm still not entirely sure why suddenly lots of people are convinced without doubt it is a deadly poison? I'm not encouraging anyone to take it every single day, but I'd still like to know what the issue is with it, it's helped me in the past and I was hoping to rely on it again if similar situations arise. If it's common knowledge and I'm being uniquely stupid for asking then I apologise, but this is genuinely the first time I've seen such staunch negative attitudes towards something which I thought had the potential to be a helpful substance.
I see many people on twitter addicted to MB and when they stop shortly after they get ill. A form of detox. And they need to hop on it again.
