The Power of Methylene Blue
Methylene blue, initially a stain for microscopy and fabrics, has evolved to be a potent antimicrobial, showing effectiveness against viruses, bacteria, and fungus including COVID. It has anti-cancer effects and is known as a 'magic bullet' due to its powerful yet gentle impact on the body. Methylene blue, reflecting blue and absorbing red light, enhances light therapy by entering mitochondria and acting as a pro-oxidant and antioxidant. This leads to a remarkable 30% upregulation in mitochondrial function independently of oxygen. Studies suggest its effectiveness in treating various conditions, with notable benefits on mood akin to an SSRI for depression.
