Methylene Blue

Specifically then, you're taking methylene blue because you believe it will cause your mitochondria to make you live longer, or at least age slower?
 
Yes. Along with a lot of other stuff, including fasting--I'm midway through a five-day fast which I do about four times a year.
 
Seems like a lot of work when you know you are going to die anyway.
 
We used it in biology class at middle school to stain cells for microscope slides. Along with a handful of other stains. Don't schools teach science and biology anymore?
 
There's also a neat experiment (More school chemistry) where you make a solution of methylene blue, glucose and sodium hydroxide which is a light purple color. When you shake it violentky, it turns clear and after a short rest, it returns to its colored state. This you can do multiple times.

Wasn't that colloidal silver?

Exactly. Silver salts were used to combat infections before antibiotics became available (in the case of newborns, it is still used in the eyes).

A few years ago, some scammers were promoting colloidal silver as an "essential trace element" and that it boosted the immune system and helped fight disease. In most cases, the silver didn't really do anything except empty people's bank accounts. However, for some people, the silver deposited in their skin and turned them blue.

First time I heard about Methylene Blue was in an episode of Seabert.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, methylene blue was used in the past an anti-bacterial before antibiotics were available. So, we're supposed to believe that something that kills bacteria is somehow beneficial to humans?

There's just no end to all of these scams. You want your mitochondria to work better? Eat a healthy diet. Get exercise. Don't smoke, drink or do drugs. Avoid consuming microplastics. Avoid consuming chemicals that your body doesn't need.
 
In the truest sense, vanity is either the excessive preoccupation with one's attractiveness, or the futility of human power in the face of time, nature, or God.

What I didn't hear Latimer saying was that he was focused on appearing young past youth. He expressed interest in defending against age and decay. If he were to believe that was a perpetual state, then it might be vain, but I didn't har that.

We all have our thresholds for tolerating risk. If one man is willing to test something that others are not, I don't find that foolish, but brave.

I like that this was thrown out as an open discussion. In my years here, what t've found to be more common is that members are quick to share their successes, but not as much their folly or dubious acts (and Harke, I'm NOT including you.) :LOL:

This category of thread might be broadened to what do YOU do that's considered unorthodox by others, and why.
 
How about what Peter Thiel does? Pumping up on the blood of youths in the search for immortality. Parabiosis in quackspeak. Even if it does work, so what? I would rather live 70 years as a human being than live a thousand as a piece of shit.
 
Someone I went to high school with had multiple serious conditions. He was irretrievably far down the right wing rabbit hole, spouting all kinds of ridiculousness on FB. One day he decided he knew more than his doctors because he watches YouTube. He stopped taking his prescriptions, in favor of trying some quack "natural" nonsense instead. He posted about it on his Facebook page. His heart stopped within a week.

Similarly, an acquaintance of my mother's tried to treat cancer with ground up apricot stones (or something similar, I don't exactly remember) and died in very short order.

Surely you'd want to kill certain bacteria that don't belong there?

Did the Methylene Blue work at all?

But how does a chemical that kills bacterial cells not kill human cells? Yes, quantity and concentration are a factor even in the case of antibiotics. Antibiotics have the potential to damage the auditory nerve, the kidneys, the liver or make the person sicker. I would expect that repeated use of a drug that kills bacteria to have similar adverse effects on human cells.

Methylene blue was used once upon a time as an anti-malarial in the tropics. But once antibiotics were discovered, it was abandoned for that use. Now it is used as a one-time dose as an anatomical dyes or as an antidote for cyanide poisoning. I've only used it one time in a patient and that was for cyanide toxicity.

It was Laetrile that I was thinking about when I posted a response.

One of the smartest and I thought, most rational people I knew just fell into this...travelling from Canada to Mexico for 'treatments'. And lots of others with more money than sense did this as well.

I am always proudest of my mother that when she learned she had only a few months to live with cancer that she refused to grasp at straws that would only exacerbate the sense of failure but waste precious time and energy.

Targeting only certain bacteria is elusive.
Killing all bacteria on/in your body, or most of them is likely to be fatal. We rely on the symbiosis with bacteria to stay alive. Kill off all your gut bacteria and you die.
