💊 Understanding Methylene Blue's Impact on Health
Dr. A discusses the importance of methylene blue, a medication with a long history in emergency medicine, now gaining attention for its potential benefits in integrative medicine. Despite its dye-like properties causing temporary discoloration, it's recognized for its effects on mitochondria, energy levels, and detoxification. Methylene blue is noted for its ability to enhance mitochondrial function, which is crucial for cellular energy production and overall health. The paragraph emphasizes the significance of choosing high-quality methylene blue to avoid heavy metal toxicity, which can be present in poor-quality versions sold online.
🔋 Methylene Blue's Role in Enhancing Energy and Mitochondrial Function
This section delves into how methylene blue can boost energy levels by improving mitochondrial function. Mitochondria, often referred to as the 'powerhouses' of the cell, are responsible for converting food into usable energy via ATP production. Methylene blue is shown to interact with the final part of the electron transport chain, facilitating ATP synthesis and thus enhancing cellular energy. The discussion highlights the importance of maintaining optimal mitochondrial speed for cellular health and the potential for methylene blue to alleviate symptoms of chronic fatigue and improve focus, particularly in individuals with ADHD. The paragraph also cautions against overdosing, as excessive mitochondrial activity can lead to sleeplessness and restlessness.
🛡️ Methylene Blue's Contribution to Detoxification and Cellular Healing
The final paragraph explains methylene blue's role in detoxification and cellular healing. It discusses how a cell's energy, generated by mitochondria, is essential for maintaining normal cellular processes, including the import of nutrients and export of toxins. When cellular energy is compromised, it can lead to a buildup of toxic materials and impaired cell function, which can contribute to chronic illnesses. Methylene blue supports the cell's ability to maintain these processes at optimal levels, aiding in detoxification and the cell's natural healing mechanisms. The paragraph concludes with a reminder of the importance of sourcing methylene blue from reputable suppliers to ensure its safety and efficacy, given the potential for contamination with heavy metals in lower-quality products.

Transcripts
there are very reputable companies that
make methylene blue but there's a lot of
poor grade methylene blue sold on the
internet which should never be ingested
by humans because it has too much of the
heavy metal toxicity in
it welcome to my YouTube channel I'm Dr
a and I've been treating patients with
complex chronic illness for decades now
I've also been involved in research and
teaching in the sphere of Integrative
Medicine for 30 years and so I want to
share some of the things that I've seen
and learned along the way today I want
to talk about the most important impacts
of methylene blue and how it can be a
very very potent addition to the other
therapies that you might use because you
have certain types of problem methylene
blue is a very old medication it's
probably the oldest synthetic medication
that we currently know of and still use
it's used in emergency medicine for a
very specific set of problems but now
you see it advertised and it's it's all
over social media and people ask a lot
of questions about methylene blue now
it's a dye and so if you take it liquid
and say drink it or orally your tongue
will turn blue and your teeth will too
but you can get that off by brushing
them also just as a note your urine may
turn a little bit greenish blue uh and
you might have to clean your toilet
different keep in mind it is a d and it
does go through through you when we be
talking about a Dye that's a medicine I
want to talk about three big area is the
effect of methylene blue on your
mitochondria the second is the effect on
your overall energy in your body and the
third is the effect on detoxification
and healing methylene glue can help
support so first your mitochondria so
your
mitochondria many of us have heard
they're the PowerHouse of the C what are
they doing well they are taking energy
from the food that you have eaten gets
all broken down and then that energy is
broken into these tiny tiny pieces and
they get into the mitochondria and then
it runs this system on the inside
membrane of the mitochondria that
creates actual energy how does it do
that because we can't create energy from
nothing certain parts of the food that
you eat break down into very small
molecules and the inner membrane of your
mitochondria borrows an electron and if
you go to the wires in your house
they're full of electrons that's what
the current or the electricity well in
mitochondria it uses the electron to
Bounce Down uh an apparatus on the inner
membrane it's like a wire but it's a
biological wire so it does doesn't have
just one ion like copper wires it's got
all these intermediate steps and they
might be fueled by the presence of iron
sulfur co-enzyme Q10 vitamin B2 vitamin
B3 a number of other things that you
probably heard of right well if you
think about the current of energy the
electrons go bouncing on down what
happens when they get to the end that
makes the energy they come to the final
complex which we used to call uh atpa
pump and that takes used up energy as a
DP so diphosphate and it takes another
phosphate and puts it together with ADP
to become ATP which is triphosphate and
that last phosphate has a high energy
bond in it so we take the energy from
all those electrons moving and we use
that put the phosphate back on the ADP
and recycle it to ATP most people now
have heard of ATP primary energy
producer inside your cell why would
methylene blue which is not native to
the human body affect the mitochondria
well it turns out that methylene blue
goes in and it goes to the end of that
system where the electrons are moving
through and it causes the end to keep
moving so it goes in and it directly
interacts with the last part of that
complex that keeps the electrons going
to the ATP a pub the ADP into ATP so it
keeps this process going and the reason
that that's so important is that of
course we think if our if our
mitochondria slow down our whole energy
is is going to slow down in our body and
we'll feel tired and all that very true
but the reason mitochondria is so
important to your functioning of your
cells and your body is most of your
cells have mitochondria some cells have
a ton of mitochondria brain your heart
your reproductive organs lots and lots
of mitochondria other other tissues have
many as well well if I take mitochondria
and I get them to move slower and slower
and slower the cell becomes
dysfunctional because the cells are made
to have a certain amount of energy take
away their energy I can start to have a
back of toxic material in the cell that
I can get out and Export I have a cell
that's dysfunctional because it's not
operating at a proper speed and then if
I take a collection of cells I have a
tissue type take a collection of those I
have an organ and you can actually have
organs that slow down and don't work
well we call that pathology so that's
the sort of big picture of how methylene
blue makes an impact just on your
General Health so the first thing that
people often will feel is a sense of
energy if you think about what we just
talked about with the mitochondria you
are the sum total of your mitochondrial
function when it comes to your energy if
I take and figuratively speaking was to
take and had like a thermostat or a riat
that adjusted your mitochondri to go
slower you would feel more tired and
indeed people who are chronic Ally ill
chronically fatigued chronically tired
have lower mitochondrial function now
people will say well if the mitochondria
stopped working you're dead well of
course right but there's a range within
they they can operate and they can be
normal threshold which is up and down a
little bit every day they can be sub
threshold which is usually associated
with illness or they can be moving too
quickly which is usually associated with
a hyper metabolic state so the effects
that I've seen in people when we use
methylene blue and is it the only thing
you use no and is it the first thing you
use usually not but when you have
chronic fatigue when you you're coming
out of chronic illnesses long Co all
these sort of things what I normally see
is two major things if we get the doses
right that people noted one is that
their overall energy does slowly improve
that's good but the other thing is that
your brain cells have lots of
mitochondria and a lot of people will
say that they have more Focus okay we
use this with a lot of folks in the ADHD
add spectrum and it can help them with
Focus as well and so what's the only
side of that that we tell people to
watch out for you can have too much of a
good thing so you can have too much
brain mitochondrial activity so we
always tell them if you feel like you
can't sleep if you feel shaky jumpy that
sort of thing we have to back the dose
off because it really does affect energy
and mental focus very quick doses are
all over the map and this is obviously
not medical advice but I have seen uh
sensitive people do just great with
really low doses like 5 to 15 milligrams
I've seen people on the highend that
were very resistant do you know 50 or
bigger much bigger Doses and I've seen
everything in between the most important
thing about dosing is that you're
working with somebody who can kind of
objective assess your metabolism and how
well the dose is working and can level
you off at a dose that works for you now
it seems a little odd that we would also
tie in a benefit with methylene blue of
detoxification and cell healing but if
we go back to the original premise on
how do cells stay healthy versus cells
that would get sick the main premise
there is that if the cell has enough
energy by the generation of ATP in the
mitochondria of the cell then the cell
can do all of its processes at a correct
speed if that cell's energy slows down
and that's tissue wide or organ wide
then those cells that are slower are
going to have problems doing normal
business of a cell well the normal
business is getting enough energy
substrates in from the food I ate
exporting the metabolic and other to
toxins out of the cell making energy and
then running all the little organel that
go on in the cell that require ATP to
operate let alone the cell membrane
which is what communicates with the
other cells around it the formation of
ATP which is supported by the methylene
blue not only gives me that energy we're
talking about but it also keeps the cell
business of what goes in and what goes
out operating at a normal level the
reason that this helps with
detoxification is is that your your
cells just just like your body has
respiration we breathe in and we breathe
out we breathe in mixed gases from the
air we extract the oxygen we put that in
uh to the bloodstream we breathe out we
breathe out more carbon dioxide and that
helps to keep our oxygen tension or
oxygen balance normal well your cells do
the same thing they take in oxygen and
they export carbon dioxide side as they
have cell respiration based on
mitochondrial function so if we just
slow it down a little bit we can get a
backup in the carbon dioxide movement
the oxygen movement that changes the pH
now it doesn't change the pH enough to
make you real sick or dead or anything
really sick or about to die but it
changes the pH just a little bit and
that's enough to slow down the export of
the bad stuff the toxic material
including carbon dioxide in the cell so
then the cell becomes more toxic does
not operate correctly well what would
that lead to then that would then lead
to your cell not healing as well as it
should now cells heal like your body
heals they have this innate sort of
architecture or wisdom if you will or
whatever and they are set up so that if
there's some sort of damage they can
usually repair either self-repair or
repair with the immune system there's a
state where if they get really damaged
they will just implode on themselves and
essentially take themselves out of the
game is also a state where if they're
damaged enough the immune system will
take the cell out of the game what we
would prefer is to have enough energy so
that we move the oxygen and nutrients in
and the carbon dioxide and the toxic
materials out so the cell has what it
needs to stay healthy and auto repair in
minor situation so this is another
reason why people are chronically ill
and trying to get their cells back
online and this could be real chronic
illness like fibromyalgia chronic
fatigue certain autoimmune conditions
long covid other po infectious illness
this is one of the reasons why as a
piece of the big protocol that we might
do methylene blue can fit in because it
helps the cells get back online and it
helps the overall healing capacity of
the cells in the body one thing you do
want to make sure of and you can can
look at our other methylene blue content
on the YouTube channel is that you have
a reputable source for the methylene
blue so methylene blue is one of those
Oddball things where it's technically a
drug but you can buy it over the counter
whether it's made by a drug company or
by a supplement company you need to make
sure that they have certificates of
analysis because raw material methylene
blue can have a lot of heavy metals and
the last thing you want to do is be
taking methylene blue let's say as a
supplement Ora drug and have it be toxic
for you there are very reputable
companies that make methylene blue but
there's a lot of uh poor grade methylene
blue sold on the internet which should
never be ingested by humans because it
has too much of the heavy metal toxicity
in it so just make sure you have a
reputable Source go take a look at the
other videos if you want I want to thank
you for listening if you like this
content we're going to link up here some
other methylene blue content be some
notes down in the description box below
Dr a thank you for joining me I'll see
you on the next video
