Clarifying Misconceptions Surrounding Methylene Blue; Research: Mitochondria as a Therapeutic Target in TBIs
The Red Light Report
Exploring Methylene Blue and Mitochondrial Health
This chapter explores the advantages of methylene blue in enhancing mitochondrial function amid modern environmental challenges. It emphasizes the need for careful research before adding supplements to wellness routines and discusses the role of mitochondria in treating traumatic brain injuries and preventing neurodegeneration.
I wanted to take to the mic and address some of this misinformation and concern head-on. One issue that I see arise is around the quality of MB and, more specifically, the fact that MB can be derived from petroleum substances. Notice how I said, "can be." Yes, different industrial use cases may obtain their MB from petroleum-based sources, but is not the same MB that would be considered safe for human consumption. Also, there is a notion going around that you can make "homemade" leucomethyene blue simply be adding vitamin C to MB. I explain why this is a half-truth and does not lead to the same quality, purity, stability, bioavailability or effectiveness in mitochondria.
The study covered in today's episode demonstrates how the mitochondria are being recognized as an integral therapeutic target for traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). That would mean a.) mitochondrial dysfunction is a large part of the brain damage (and, thus, recovery) associated with TBIs and, presumably, other head trauma, such as concussions; and b.) anything that can improve mitochondrial function, particularly things that can positively affect the brain, has a large potential role to play in the recovery from TBIs and other head trauma. The Mitochondrial Triad ticks all of those boxes.
