Methylene Blue for Students: Memory, Focus, and Learning Support
Reading Time: 10 minutes. Methylene blue may support memory and focus at low doses by enhancing mitochondrial respiration, stabilising ATP supply, and modulating task-evoked brain activity. Small randomised trials have shown modest retrieval gains and improved network-specific activation within one hour. Benefits appear to be dose-dependent, with low doses being favoured; higher amounts can blunt…
Methylene Blue Vs Bacopa: Key Differences for Cognitive Enhancement
Reading Time: 7 minutes. Methylene blue modulates mitochondrial respiration through redox cycling, enhances NADH oxidation, and increases ATP efficiency; it also inhibits MAO-A, thereby posing a risk of serotonin toxicity. Low hormetic doses (<30 mg/day) show improved memory and attention, with a noted 8% reduction in cerebral blood flow at cognition-relevant doses. Bacopa, an herbal…
Unravelling Cancer: Lifestyle, Metabolism, and Prevention
Reading Time: 7 minutes. Recent evidence suggests cancer operates primarily as a metabolic disorder, not just a genetic disease. You’ll find that lifestyle factors considerably impact your cellular metabolism and mitochondrial function, with traditional societies exhibiting remarkably lower cancer rates. Through strategic nutritional interventions, regular physical activity, and reduced exposure to environmental toxins, you can…
Methylene Blue Weight Loss: Can It Support Metabolic Health?
Reading Time: 11 minutes. Methylene blue is a redox-active dye that supports mitochondrial electron transport, improving ATP production and shifting metabolism toward fatty acid oxidation. It can transiently raise the NAD+/NADH ratio, engage Sirtuin 3, and signal via AMPK, which may enhance insulin sensitivity. Early trials in obese adults suggest short-term improvements in glucose handling;…
Unlocking the Secrets of Optimal Hydration for Health
Reading Time: 6 minutes. Ideal hydration requires more than just drinking eight glasses daily – we need a strategic approach based on body weight, activity level, and climate. For every 100 pounds of body weight, we should consume approximately 8 glasses of water throughout the day. Proper timing matters: drink 30 minutes before meals, not…
Ivermectin Medication Guide: Dosage, Side Effects, and Treatment Uses
Reading Time: 14 minutes. When using ivermectin, you’ll take a dosage based on your body weight, typically 0.15-0.2 mg/kg orally for parasitic infections such as onchocerciasis and strongyloidiasis. It is FDA-approved for these conditions, as well as topically for head lice and rosacea. Watch for side effects such as dizziness, diarrhoea, and allergic reactions, and…
Methylene Blue for Seniors: Safety, Benefits, and Precautions in Ageing Populations
Reading Time: 11 minutes. Methylene blue is FDA-approved only for IV treatment of methemoglobinemia. Early studies suggest that mitochondrial and cognitive benefits may be achieved through redox cycling and enhanced electron transport; however, human evidence is limited. Older adults face higher risks from its potent MAOI activity, including serotonin syndrome with SSRIs/SNRIs, plus contraindications like…
Alcohol Impacts Health, Warns Fitness Scientist Holmes
Reading Time: 7 minutes. In the age of the Roman Forum, a soothsayer might have warned of the ill effects of Bacchus’ libations, but today, it’s Fitness Scientist Kristen Holmes sounding the alarm on alcohol’s impact on health. Holmes, a pioneer in the realm of physiological data, asserts that even moderate drinking can disrupt the…
Unlocking Wellness Through the Ancient Art of Qigong
Reading Time: 6 minutes. We reveal wellness through Qigong by embracing its ancient wisdom, which intertwines movement, breathwork, and meditation to harmonise body, mind, and spirit. The Eight Brocades, a key practice, enhances flexibility, mental clarity, and longevity. Qigong reduces stress, improves immune function, and fosters a deep connection to our inner selves. As we…
Methylene Blue and Serotonin/MAOI Risks
Reading Time: 6 minutes. Methylene blue is the first-line, FDA-approved antidote for acquired methemoglobinemia. It accelerates the NADPH-dependent reduction of ferric (Fe3+) to ferrous (Fe2+) haemoglobin via leuco-methylene blue, rapidly restoring the oxygen-carrying capacity. Indicated when methemoglobin levels are≥20–30% or earlier if symptomatic, dosing is 1–2 mg/kg IV (lower in paediatrics), repeatable once. Risks include…
