    High Metabolism Quickly Destroys / Chelates Endocrine Disruptors Like BPA

    I suspect the topic of endocrine disruptors is on many forum users' minds. We have had multiple discussions about them here, and the ability of chemicals like BPA / BPS to act as thyroid antagonists and estrogen agonists. Bpa-free Plastic Just As Dangerous As One With Bpa Plasticisers (bpa...

    Methylene Blue Cures Malaria Within 48 Hours And Stops Its Further Spread

    This study shamelessly presents the findings as something completely novel and groundbreaking. However, methylene blue (MB) has been used as anti-malarial for more than a century, and in fact treating malaria was its first designation as an official drug. Methylene blue - Wikipedia Be that as...

    Methylene Blue Is A Potent Anti-inflammatory, With Possibly The Broadest Spectrum

    Some bold statements in this study, which combined both in vitro and in vivo models. The HED for methylene blue (MB) was just 0.15mg/kg, which is in the range of 10mg-15mg doses that showed great effectiveness in treating mental disorders like depression and psychosis. As you can see from the...

    Another Human Study Shows Methylene Blue (MB) May Treat Alzheimer Disease (AD) If Used On Its Own

    A few months ago, a thread was posted about the news published by mainstream media that MB "failed" in a human trial for AD. It only failed when it was combined with other drugs currently used for AD, as those drugs are mostly cholinergic and highly excitotxic. When used on its own, MB showed...

    Analgesic Effect Of Methylene Blue

    I came accross an article written by Paul Ehrlich and Arthur Leppmann called "Über schmerzstillende Wirkung des Methylenblau." published in 1890 in the Deutsche Medizinische Wochenschrift. This was a couple of years before Aspirin came on the market. The researchers tested methylene blue on...

    Does Methylene Blue Increase Methylation?

    Hello! I wonder if anyone knows if methylthioninium chloride (A.K.A methylene blue) increases methylation, and if so, at what dosages it would exert that effect. I read someone claiming methylene blue donates methyl groups and increases methylation, that's why I would like to have some...

    Methylene Blue Improves Short-term Memory In Humans

    I suppose the results of this study are to be expected but I wanted to post it anyways since it was one of the few human studies using methylene blue. The doses used was pretty high (4mg/kg for human) but for some reason the authors claim that this is actually a pretty low dose. Be that as it...

    Methylene Blue Blood Pressure

    This happened yesterday, as well as today: After taking 1 mg MB yesterday and 500 mcg MB today, I've experienced a marked increase in blood pressure verified by my blood pressure monitor. Has anyone experienced something similar? Could this be caused by nitric oxide inhibition?
