The Red Light Report Research: Methylene Blue For TBI, Brain Ischemia & Alzheimer's; Antioxidant Therapeutics Targeting the Mitochondria For TBI
Apr 4, 2024

The average brain weighs about three pounds (less than 2% of the average human weight), yet it accounts for about 20% of the body's total energy consumption. That inherently means the brain is extremely mitochondrial dense, as the mitochondria produce ~95% of all the energy in body. Ok, so all numbers aside, the brain is an immensely important organ from a health, energy and, thus, mitochondrial perspective. That means we need to have strategies in place for both acute trauma to the brain and for chronic conditions like neurodegeneration.
In today's solosode, we will review two hot-off-the-press articles that happen to surround this very topic. The first article looks at the potential of methylene blue (MB) as a key substance that can effectively address three exceptionally varying brain conditions: traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), ischemia and Alzheimer's disease. At the end of the day, MB has a profound role to play in all of those ailments.
The second article hones in on TBIs and antioxidant therapeutics that specifically target the mitochondria. Based on the abundant information provided in the article (albeit they did not include MB or C60 as an antioxidant strategy; I imagine there results would be even more staggering if they did!), it is quite clear that even in an acute injury, such as TBI, the mitochondria play an ever central role — in this case, both the damage from the physical trauma and also the healing and recovery process.
Hint hint: we already know that red light therapy is becoming widely accepted as an effective modality for treating head traumas, such as concussions, TBIs, etc,. Now we have this new research looking at the impact of antioxidant therapeutics that target the mitochondria. Antioxidants donate electrons. Methylene blue and C60 are some of the best electron donors available as therapeutics. However, unlike most other antioxidants, both MB and C60 can actually get inside the mitochondria. The Mitochondrial Triad has a massive role to play here!
If you found the information in today's episode particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge. Sharing is caring :)
As always, light up your health!
