Methylene blue is the parent molecule used to manufacture two off-patent drugs that may help with certain infections. Here's what else it can do for you.
Hi Everyone, I was delighted to see this article. If Dr. Mercola endorses it, I am all in! I originally learned about MB from Mark Sloan at Endalldisease.com. He recommends getting Methylene Blue from BioPharm. It's already formulated into a liquid, and he recommends 10 drops in water morning, and 10 drops at night. (For Dementia/Alzheimers) The website is www.bphchem.com, and it is pharmaceutical grade. I highly recommend it. I just started it along with my partner who is experiencing cognitive decline. I also recommend going to the website endalldisease.com to learn about red light therapy as well as Methylene Blue. It would be amazing if Dr. Mercola created a program for Cognitive Decline. I take all of Dr. Mercola's supplements related to brain health. I have read the book by Dr. Dale Bredesen, "The End of Alzheimer's" but some of the nutritional things seem a bit cumbersome. I'm ok with gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar free, but my partner loves his pasta! I get pasta from Italy, not the US. Hopefully it's better, without the gmo crap and other things the US does to wheat. But the bloodwork done by Apollo (the network of doctors recommended by Dr. Bredesen) is very comprehensive and helpful. Alzheimer's is due to so many causes, (at least 30) and this bloodwork points out nutrition deficiencies, genetics, heavy metal toxicity, etc. So, Dr. Mercola, you are the man! You've taught us so much! Please come up with a plan for us. Until then, I'll keep you posted on our experience with Methylene Blue. There is a coupon code for a discount for the MB on the Endalldisease.com website. Better yet, I'll include it now. Go to endalldisease.com/mb for discount and more information.
Long story short: it did NOT work well for me at all.
I tried methylene blue (MB) three times, but it did not work well for me (male, 64y, Netherlands, 80 kg). I toke one dose of 20 mg on day 1, the 12th of May. On day 1 it was all fine, more energy as promissed. But on day 3, it was payback time and I felt worse than before taking it. Even worser on day 4 when I got the first symptoms of herpes zoster and got really sick from that. Acupuncture helped me recover fast.
Second try: 40 mg MB on day 1, 21th of July. Same story, only now I got Covid on day 4. More information: since the start of Covid at the beginning of 2020 (in NL) I went to work as usual, never got sick, no vaccination. no problem ever. And now I got old-school Covid on july 25th.
Anyway, then I heared MB also helps fight Covid.
Third dose on july 28th 40mg and forth dose on july 29th, 20 mg, both combined with near infra red light 30 minutes each. Same story, at first really good, but on Aug 2th downhill, and now I have bronchitis (same a in 2018).
I am no medical scolar, but could it be that MB activates inactive, infected cells, causing to become ill?
I was very excited to learn about this potential wonder drug. My mother has horrible Burning Mouth Syndrome and a small study I read suggested this might stop her pain.
My first problem was finding a place to buy it that I trusted. I was skeptical of what I found online, but went ahead and ordered from Amazon anyway. The laboratory analysis certificate did not look authentic to me, but I talked to my mother's functional medicine doctor about trying it and she thought it couldn't hurt.
The second problem was figuring out proper dosing. The researchers in the study diluted MB as a mouthwash using saline. I was unclear how to do this and reached out to both the study's main author who did not respond. I reached out to the MB expert Dr. Mercola interviewed. He said he could not advise since he is not a doctor. I asked my mom's own doctor who was also of no help. So we did this on our own.
The study advised using MB for a week and gargling three times each day. She did this for three days when she realized her mouth was feeling worse. She did not feel any positive impact on her mood or anything else besides blue mouth and lips.
Anyway, I am very disappointed. I am also wondering if the MB was even 100% pure. Given that there are so many counterfeits on the market, it is impossible to tell.
Just sharing my experience. If I were to do it over again, I would have gone to a compounding pharmacy instead of ordering online. Proceed cautiously.
I am having trouble figuring out my dosage in ML. I weigh 185 pounds = 43 KG. I can't seem to come up what my dosage should be of 1% methylene blue solution. Can anyone assist?
HI everyone, Love the article and also highly recommend Mark Sloan's book on it. I started taking the low dose recommendation almost every day for two weeks and I'm forgetting to drink my coffee before 3 pm! And I love coffee, always feel the need for my 2 cups by late morning, but now... I'm feeling more energy and actually feel like I'm more alert. There is a huge warning I need to get out that is not in Mark's book and is very pertinent - if anyone is taking Carbidopa-levodopa for Parkinsons, it is contra-indicated for sure! As well for anyone taking Donepezil. It does something to increase serotonin levels and can increase blood pressure. PLEASE, ensure you do your homework before starting Meth Blue - thank God I told my husband's anesthesiologist prior to a procedure and he alerted to me this potentially very bad side effect. Good health to everyone!
Just info on my experience with MB: I read Mark Sloans book The Ultimate Guide to Methylene Blue, and then drank it every day per the dosing schedule on pages 112-115. I had blue urine and didn't notice anything else. I did this simply to see how I would feel, with the hopes of offering the idea to a friend with cancer. I didn't feel poorly from it at all. I bought Biopharm MB off of Amazon. I got it for a much better price than using Mark's discount code directly on BioPharm's web site.
My friend brought some MB to a naturopath who used an bio-energy analysis device to check for compatibilty of the MB and it registered as slightly less than neutral, so she took a pass on the MB therapy. This does not mean that MB isn't good for her or any one else ever, just that it wasn't indicated as beneficial for her at that point in time. Conditions and situations change.
It is great to have learned of this product that helps with cognitive health. Thank you so very much Dr. Mercola for your tireless help in working to make the world a better place! I just ordered a bottle of Methylene Blue from Compass Labs. It was about $30 for a 50ml bottle of USP grade product. I am look forward to trying it out :)
Can methylene blue be used along with a NAD+ patch? (iontophoretic) It seems they both affect the mitochondria similarly.

Please correct probable typo " ..methylene blue inhibits an enzyme that weakens the malaria parasite"
I read it was safe to nebulize methylene blue for long Covid breathing issues. If true, what dilution % would you recommend and how often?
Dr Mercola I wish you’d offer MB on your website. I’m not confident of those on internet saying they’re selling USP methylene blue.

Has anyone experienced blue urine for 5 days after a single 0.5mg/kg dose of USP grade methylene blue?

Thank you for providing that source for obtaining MB - I had no idea where to get it! :)

I get mine from Compass Labs....excellent quality and packaged carefully so there is no spillage...we all know mb blue staining is fun to deal with ;)
Can methylene blue be taken with hot liquid? Like coffee or tea, or does it breakdown?
