The Surprising Health Benefits of Methylene Blue- Interview with Francisco Gonzalez-Lima, Ph.D., and Dr. Mercola

In this interview, Francisco Gonzalez-Lima, Ph.D., discusses a really powerful strategy to improve your mitochondria, which generate the vast majority of the energy your cells produce from food.

Methylene blue helps mitochondrial respiration and improves brain energy metabolism. By doing that, it can improve cognitive performance and prevent neurodegeneration.

Methylene blue is the parent molecule for hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, off-patent drugs commonly used to treat not only malaria but also COVID-19.

Emergency rooms around the world use it, as it’s the only known antidote for metabolic poisons causing methemoglobinemia, which is when a metabolic poison interferes with the transport of oxygen in hemoglobin.

Methylene blue is a hormetic drug, so low doses have the opposite effect of high doses.

Low doses, 0.5 mg to 1 mg per kilo of bodyweight, are recommended for nonacute, longer-term treatments. Uses include the prevention and treatment of dementia, post-stroke and other brain injuries, cognitive enhancement, and the general optimization of health if you’re already healthy.

  • Sir, I have sent this to everyone, including my integrative Doc. It is only by chance that I ran across this on Rumble. I subscribe to the newsletter, but as you know, "free speech is fleeting".

  • Excellent video. I have been using Methylene Blue for my autism and it works like a charm. I noticed that taking MB in the morning works better as if I take it in the evening I have difficulty sleeping. I prefer to use the CZTL MB powder as it has the best impact for me and is affordable

  • I am also wondering, has anyone taken MB regularly and found that it upset your digestive tract? since it is used as an antibiotic, I'm curious if it might harm gut flora as well. Personally, I've found it to be very helpful for energy levels and clarity of mind, but I'm wondering about this other aspect of it.

  • Chlorine Dioxide will do all this also, but it is not a synthetic drug

  • be careful with MB. if you are on any kind of SSRI you can not take MB. using this for adult son with severe autism. had to reduce to 1ml twice a day because it does effect serotonin. (2ml for him was too much) everybody is different.

  • My honey said there is no way the Elite F*cks, or whomever, that created C19, etc. would unleash it on the World UNLESS THEY KNEW & HAD THE CURE for themselves. I wonder if this may be it? I took my 1st dose 2 hours ago, very exciting TY Dr. Mercola!

  • Does anyone know, is it okay to take MB with other supplements? I was thinking of taking it first thing in the morning when I take iron and vitamin C. I know the vitamin C is good, but will the iron interfere in any way?

  • How To Make It NOT SO BLUE (Jacque’s note: I personally consume 5 drops of this Methylene Blue into lemon water (and you can add buffered sodium ascorbate powder, too) both AM and PM, and the blue color lessens dramatically. That is a total of 10 drops or 5 mg/day. Very low doses like this are discussed at 1:02:30 in the video above. I use a straw, swish with pure water afterward and have not had stained teeth. Urine will be blue-green-tinged, and following that is helpful for titration; tells you when your levels are low again. The half-life is 12-13 hours. Find our personal experience with early dementia prion disease here – and how we have fought it and won. We only recently added MB.) Contraindications: Do not use Methylene Blue if you have a G6PD deficiency, a liver or kidney disorder, if you use 5-HTP or St. John’s Wort, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Side effects with MB are very rare when doses are under 2 mg/kg. Monoamine Oxidase (MAOI) inhibition becomes a big problem over 2 mg/kg of MB. So if you are using antidepressants or anti anxiety medications that affect dopamine or serotonin, you should NOT use Methylene Blue over 2 mg./kg. In the video, at 1:33:30, we find Mayo Clinic said there is “NO contraindication for oral MB with SSRIs”. Follow directions closely or find and consult a functional doctor before use.

  • This current video trend of starting the video from some sound bite random point into the discussion with no frame of reference and then cutting back to the actual beginning is not creative… it’s annoying AF. It’s like your conversation has a mental disorder. Start at the start like a normal conversation does.
