    I came across MB about 1 year ago as I was researching cognitive decline in my husband. I bought it and he has been taking a low dose, 20 drops in 100ml water in a pump spray, twice a day. Just pumps maybe 6/7 times into the mouth. His memory has improved along with his general wellbeing. I also make pro biotics like kefir and reuteri which are phenomenal. He is now a fully engaging man again. MB is amazing 🇬🇧🇬🇧

    I was hit by a car and had a TBI where I didn’t know who I was, time/days meant nothing, and I got lost in my driveway for the first three months post trauma. I used infrared light/red light every other day for over two years, walked 8 miles a day with a broken arm, ribs, bones in foot, and a messed up thoracic spine, St. John’s wort for 1.5 years and then stopped that to start MB. The improvements were amazing with this combo. The two year anniversary was April 13, 2024, and I have resumed my private psychotherapy practice at about 70% of the number of patients I was seeing prior to TBI, my ability to work with time is spotty but I know who I am. I cannot tell you how scary it was to not know yourself. Fatigue is extremely common with TBI and that is where I really noticed MB’s biggest improvement for me. I hope you discover what works well for your optimal health - Blessings. 🙏😊🌻

I started taking 10 drops, bid, and gradually increased it over 5 days to 20 drops, 1% USP MB in water bid. I stayed at that dose for about six months and then took a break to see what would happen (if I’d lose the gains upon cessation, etc). I just started to resume taking it two days ago because I gradually noticed an increase in that weird TBI kind of fatigue for over a couple of months, and have noticed an almost immediate return to functioning.

I had just completed a physically demanding job and was taking a rest. I decided to try out the MB at this time starting with 2 drops in a drink. after about 15 minutes I felt an amazing surge of energy and felt compelled to get up and finish my job in progress which took several hours of physical labor. I have been taking 4 drops once a day since with occasional breaks. I just learned vit c works with and enhances and counteracts the color so have added that to my morning drink. I have told others about the amazing benefits of MB. my daughter has the most amazing skin at age 54, she uses MB topically.

    I would love to be in some kind of study. My health used to be extremely horrible from being under doctor's "care" for decades my health deteriorated massively. Was on 15 - 17 meds daily until my doctor illegally suddenly fired me for trying to get her to reduce my pharmaceutical load for about 1.5 - 2 years and taking over 50 scientific studies on the regimen of drugs she had me on and I was trying to find ways to use natural foods to overcome my health issues. Formerly severe ADHD, Major depression, GERD, arthritis, high blood pressure, diabetes, 3 degenerated disks in lower back, constant continual pain, pain, pain, OCD, 3-8 mm kidney stones, daily headaches, regular migraines, occasional cluster headaches, huge brain fog and confusion and inability to concentrate and perform adequately, anxiety, NAFLD, lost 5" in height but have since regained a little over one inch, almost died from toxic severe mold infestation in my home, and also from Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and that is just the basic stuff. In the late 60's and 70's I was a hippie using LSD, heroin, cocaine, toluene, meth, and other uppers, downers and all-arounders. Am clean now. Only use medical cannabis, no other prescribed meds. Am on a healthy keto with a good amount of carnivore thrown in. Eating organic, whole, real foods, raw when appropriate, local when possible and available. My body feels GREAT. WONDERFUL, in fact. It feels like it is SUPPOSED to. AGAIN. I used to be on a swim team. My body is beginning to feel like that again, and I am ever so grateful. @@JonasKuehneMD

    During the early Covid lock-down days I became depressed and, after a couple of years of suffering, decided to pursue alternative interventions, rather than the standard psychiatric ones (SSRI, SNRI, + CBT), and went on multiple plant medicine retreats. I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner with prescriptive authority and a psychiatric social worker. About a year ago I started observing MB videos popping up on KZread so decided to try it. And, IT HAS HELPED! When taking it I tend to have more cognitive and physical energy, a more steady mind, and mild improvement in mood. I weigh 70 kg and take 35 mg MB most days and also take week long breaks from time-to-time. These improvements were significant enough for me to continue with MB and in spite of, what for me its biggest downside, staining the toilet seat when I'm not careful.

Have you started with lower doses and then moved to your current dose? I think it could be a real alternative to taking prescription antidepressants. Hopefully some providers will consider this when advising their patients.

    Thank you doctor Kuehne. I would be most grateful if you can respond to the following……I began researching MB over a year ago when I watched a YT by Dr. Been and decided to give it a try. I began taking 20 drops per day and stuck with it for almost a year. I would have continued but found myself in a real conundrum. My concern arouse when I read that MB might kill off a lot of our gut microbiome, which is of course hugely important for our health. At that point I was no longer certain what to believe and found myself conflicted. I stopped a few months ago, uncertain how to proceed and what information to rely on. Do you have an opinion or research you can point me towards on this subject sir? I would love to be able to continue taking MB. I still have a substantial amount of it. Thank you.. Whoops! I wrote my question before I finished the video. Naturally, as soon as I posted it and restarted the video, you went straight into addressing my concerns. I should have waited until the end. I very much appreciate your information.

    Started dosing 5 weeks ago. Started with low dose increasing to 20 drops per day in water with powdered Mg. I started taking MB because of intermentant virtego that was not resolving through other theraputic tx. I'm an equestrian and have had head injuries (due to falls) over the years (I ride with a helment). In addition, for 6 months prior to dosing with MB, I'd eliminated sugars and histimine foods from my diet. While eliminating these foods and practicing intermentant fasting, episodic vertigo was still occuring. Reducing neuro-inflammation continues to be the goal. MB has reduced the episodic vertigo and feeling of 'fullness' in my ears and eyes. My hearing and eyesight have both improved. Memory and short-recall has improved. Balance has improved. I feel that mast-cell activation and autoimmunity is involved in some sort of LC (long covid) capacity. Quieting down the immune system is vital and I feel MB is effective as it seems to help remove viral debris and fungal overgrowth. I'm 66 years old.

    I've been using methylene blue since May 2023, and I can't be sure, because I've made a lot of changes in diet and exercise and supplements, but I do feel that my general energy levels are higher and my thinking seems to be a little more sharply focused due to methylene blue. I put 2 drops of methylene blue in my coffee every morning, and I have a half panel of LED red and near infrared lights that I use frequently, both to alleviate muscle soreness after my workouts at the gym, and to help me sleep at night (I find that getting some red light first thing in the morning helps me to sleep better at night). When I first started using methylene blue, there was no change to the color of my urine, but now that I've been using it a while, I do get the blue to green tinge in my urine. Maybe at the beginning it was all being used up to repair all the damaged mitochondria, etc, as I was very metabolically unhealthy? (I still am, but I'm in much better shape now, and continuing to make progress).

    This is interesting. I’ve heard some of my patients using MB lately. I’m trying to become better educated on it. It was not something we learned to use clinically in medical school and I’ve never heard it used that way in any of my continued professional trainings. There seems to be some concern with toxicity be it acute or long term. However the comments here show that many people are having fantastic results. I’ll have to research more and if it is as good as it sounds for patients health maybe I’ll have to bring it to my fellow Naturopathic Doctors.

    This was my experience as well. I was only familiar with methylene blue from the emergency room, where it was used intravenously in cyanide or carbon monoxide poisoning cases. Using it as a nootropic requires much smaller amounts in my opinion. I currently use only 6 mg a day, five days per week. This is way below the safe range of 40 mg to 320 mg for my body weight. Well, I could find know long-term studies at these doses, it is difficult to imagine toxicity here.

    Question: I have a colostomy (from diverticulitis blockage emergency surgery) and reversing on May 23, 2024. I can’t seem to digest steaks or heavy meals too well, lost 30 lbs. to 107 lbs., but was always skinny. They doctors say take more fiber, but have learned that is not good. Do you think MB might help with digestion or my condition now OR after reversal (healing wound will take 4 to 6 weeks at home)?? Other history: About 8 years ago I had a level 3 spinal fusion and 2 years ago, a hip replacement (dog tripped me on stairs), then I had the emergency Colostomy blockage surgery last August - they had me on antibiotics for UTI’s for 8 months before the ER Colostomy because of a recurrent UTI, but actually, at Urologist, they missed the large kidney stone that had been causing the UTI’s (they found during my ER surgery for the blockage), and took this kidney stone out after the blockage surgery manually with a stent. Then, this last XMAS in hospital for scar tissue blockage. .… just FYI, in case history matters. Barely in hospital or sick before all this started (very healthy before I was 60). Now 68, soon 69. I feel all those antibiotics have really messed me up - they loaded me with antibiotics again in IV’s at hospital! I have started on a good liquid vitamin and Saccharomyces Boulardi probiotic with MOS a prebiotic rated high for colon issues (sold on Amazon) just last week. I see you answer most inquiries, so thank you so much!

    Thank you for providing this detailed information. I’m sorry to hear about all the medical issues you are having. Methylene blue will in my opinion not improve digestion. I would also be concerned to start any medication prior to your next upcoming surgery. you could ask your surgeon if a supplement of digestive enzymes may be helpful in better processing the food that you eat. increasing your water intake within reasonable limits may also help. Antibiotics can be a tricky thing. Often times they are necessary,short-term, but it is important to select the correct ones to prevent complications.

    Caffeine is a diuretic and may lead you to excrete MB faster. I usually take it right after a meal because it does bother my stomach a bit if I take it between meals. I don’t think that the absorption will be significantly influenced with food in this case. I am taking the same dose, but all at once after breakfast in the morning. So 20 drops or 10 mg.

    interesting, I heard of Methylene Blue for health about a dozen years ago, the "nootropics" movement was just starting. Entrepreneurs were starting online stores to sell it, because, although cheap, the main common source was at pet shops as a substance for treating fish illness. Obviously this wasn't pharmaceutical quality and people were naturally hesitant to take it as a supplement for themselves, so, from discussion boards of supplements, an online market was born. Also, I've not head of it used in psychiatry, in fact nearly the opposite: it was tried as a dye for pills and tablets in research, including for placebos, but interfered so much with results of studies of antidepressants, that pharmaceutical research became careful to stop using it! Actually while I found results fairly good, I also wanted to try various other antidepressants and supplements, so stopped using it for similar reasons

    Thank you for your kind words! Methylene blue has been used in psychiatry for mood disorders and psychosis. I am not sure how it compares to conventional medications here. Also very important to discuss any changes with the treating physician. Lithium, if given in the correct dose and levels are monitored Regularly, is a good medication, but can have a good amount of side effects as well. Methylene blue has positive effects on the mitochondria. I have not seen much literature on MB in the treatment of cancer. Cancer cells have malfunctioning mitochondria, and produce energy by simple fermentation. It is therefore less likely that MB supports these cells. It should, however support the cells of the immune system, which may help decrease the number of cancer cells. These are of course only theoretical assumptions.

I am so thankful that you've spoken of Dr. Seyfried, he is a wonderful man who truly cares and is not afraid to speak the truth about what is going on. If all doctors could be like the both of you, we would have no health issues to speak of. God Bless you !

    Methylene blue can slightly increase blood pressure. In someone that has poorly controlled high blood pressure, It is not recommended. Oral dosing in my opinion (not medical advice) is between 5 mg to 30 mg daily. At doses higher than 30 mg it may cause disruption of the gut Microbiome. Most people take less than 15 mg daily with good results.

    It sounds like you have a lot of inflammatory issues due to your weight and alcohol intake. I would suggest to cut out simple sugars and processed foods, decrease alcohol intake significantly, and make sure you have adequate protein intake. I would check for metabolic health with HgA1c + fasting insulin, ideally with your PCP. You can also get access to labs through online services (e.g. life extension labs). As for methylene blue, it has anti-inflammatory action, but may not be sufficient on its own. Cannot give advice on medications or dosing here, but I am taking less than that. Also, nice bike!

    Chest pain should always be taken seriously and followed by discontinuation of the supplement as well as contacting your physician. In high doses and if you have a G6PD deficiency, methylene blue can cause methemoglobinemia which can present with chest pain. However, low-dose of methylene blue are also used to treat methemoglobinemia.
