Methylene Blue Cancer: Research and Safety Insights
Mark
Reading Time: 10 minutes. Methylene blue shows mechanistic promise in oncology via photodynamic therapy and mitochondrial targeting, producing cytotoxic reactive oxygen species and disrupting tumour bioenergetics. Preclinical models, including TOV112D ovarian xenografts, demonstrate slowed growth and selective uptake, with minimal weight loss. It aids detection and surgical guidance, offering high sensitivity and cost-effectiveness. However, cancer…

Stacking methylene blue with creatine targets complementary energy systems. Creatine rapidly restores ATP via the phosphocreatine shuttle, while low-dose methylene blue shuttles electrons in mitochondria to sustain oxidative phosphorylation and reduce ROS. Potential outcomes include longer time-to-exhaustion, steadier pace, more substantial repeated efforts, and modest cognitive gains. Conservative dosing is 0.5–2…

You’re experiencing more than surface-level skin issues. Mitochondrial dysfunction triggers chronic inflammatory cascades in conditions like eczema and Topical Steroid Withdrawal, disrupting cellular energy metabolism and amplifying oxidative stress. Your skin’s complex inflammatory response stems from compromised mitochondrial complex I, which reduces energy production and activates systemic stress pathways. Uncover the…
