I know this is rather old, but it would still be nice if someone could help. I use a combination of quite strong IR/red/UV/heat lamps throughout the day, and I've put my MB on hold because some people say its a great combination, and others are saying its dangerous. Would someone be able to help? Thanks guys!
Thanks, could you clarify what combinations you think are fine out of: near infrared sauna, far infrared sauna, topical MB, oral MB.
Much appreciated!
Thanks, @haidut if you get a spare moment, would you mind chiming in with your opinion on the above combinations. Thank you!Personally? All of them.

I think I recall him speaking positively about it once, but I never saw him address all the negative posts about it, also I neer heard him comment on the difference in combinations between oral/topical....near infrared/far infrared/incandescent heat lamps. Would be great to get a clear picture.I think Haidut has made several posts detailing benefits of combining mb and rl
I asked haidut on the solban thread page 29 I think if I could combine methylene blue and solban, and he said I could add a drop or two to it.I think I recall him speaking positively about it once, but I never saw him address all the negative posts about it, also I neer heard him comment on the difference in combinations between oral/topical....near infrared/far infrared/incandescent heat lamps.

That’s what I was worried about but then why would haidut tell me I could add a drop to solban?Do not mix MB + Light/Phototherapy.
You can give yourself a nasty sunburn/chemical burn.
So is oral MB safe around 1-2mg and then exposing oneself to red light?Do not mix MB + Light/Phototherapy.

Methylene blue - Wikipedia
Methylene blue, when exposed to certain wavelengths of light, generates singlet oxygen (a powerful free radical). This is why it is called a 'photosensitizer', and is why it and other photosensitizers can be used for chemical reactions (they can oxidize molecules).
Here's the absorption band, from what I understand, the more absorption the more singlet oxygen: Methylene blue - Wikipedia
As you can see, it peaks at red light (600-700nm).
Now, for something like an 850nm LLLT LED 'red light', it should be absolutely fine to combine with methylene blue. I was scared a few years ago of combining methylene blue with my 850nm LED, but after looking at the absorption band I came to the conclusion it would fine.
With something like, say, an incandescent bulb, I fear it has potential for oxidative stress, strong oxidative stress at that.
i took 1.5mg (for bodyweight 95kg) methylene blue and went outside topless for a few hours in the sun. was very tired and slept well, but nothing else.So is oral MB safe around 1-2mg and then exposing oneself to red light?
I dropped MB for about a year now. I only take it when I'm sick. It is not necessary if you're taking other things that increase CO2 and NAD like Niacinamide, Aspirin, Red Light, tanning, etc.i took 1.5mg (for bodyweight 95kg) methylene blue and went outside topless for a few hours in the sun. was very tired and slept well, but nothing else.
after 2 days, today, i took 5mg and did the same and came home cause the sun light made me feel bad after sunbathing for 3h at least (felt too strong), then realized i was very hot in my head and kind of headache, then i realized i had high blood pressure.
i took it with coffee and carbs and niacinamide 500mg and 500mg when i came home.
now it's been a few hours at home, still feel not great, my blood pressure went down almost to normal (120 normal, 130 now, 160 when i came home) now and hearthrate went close to normal (83 normal, 86 bpm now, 95-105 earlier)
head pressure is better, not great. my body temperature is 37.2 Celsius both under thingue and arm and i feel very hot in 23 degree Celsius room temperature. usually under thongue is 36.8 and 36.3 under arm or lower.
I took showers to cool my head, feel like i am a heating machine, not like fever, it feels both good and bad. bad is the headache, good it's the feeling of being calm and relaxed, falling asleep almost.
i did took some vitamin k1 and k2 and 2g taurine, and theanin and glycine and gelatin when i came home, I'm not sure if that helped to lower blood pressure.
i crave sugar with water. I'm not hungry to digest anything, like solid food, but can't stop drinking water why try sugar every 30 or 60 minutes or so, i don't usually do that. since i don't feel like eating solid food and don't have any fruit juice left, i just drink sugar with water, and i don't usually crave sugar that much.
so my answer is, 5mg is way too much when you sunbath, 1.5mg is more limit, but still felt a bit tired. maybe only 500ug or less is better and safer if you plan to stay in the sun longer.
note that I'm ordine to high blood pressure easily when i get anxious, so maybe some other people will not experience the same side effect.
edit : body temperature dropped 36.9 degrees Celsius, after i opened the window for fresh air, and i feel less hot (but still unusually warm).
i just took niacinamide for it's GABA effect that day, i don't take every day. there is not much sun here in Paris, excepting in the summer.Based on the number of supplements and dosage you are listing
