Methylene Blue Vs Caffeine: Cognitive Benefits, Energy, and Key Differences
Reading Time: 6 minutes. Methylene blue enhances cognition by stabilising mitochondrial electron cycling, thereby stabilising ATP and reducing oxidative stress. Small trials suggest improved memory and processing under load, with steadier effects. Caffeine blocks adenosine receptors, increasing arousal, attention, and reaction time; however, tolerance and rebound fatigue are common, with sleep disruption occurring at higher doses.…

Revitalising Health: Understanding Mitochondria and Lifestyle Choices
Reading Time: 6 minutes. Our cellular health fundamentally depends on mitochondrial function, which powers everything from basic metabolism to disease resistance. We’re witnessing alarming rises in chronic conditions such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes – with over 90% linked to compromised mitochondrial efficiency. Through strategic lifestyle modifications, we can enhance our cellular energy production…

Unlocking the Secrets of Optimal Testosterone Health
Reading Time: 6 minutes. To reveal the secrets of ideal testosterone health, you need to understand how vital balanced levels are for your physical, emotional, and sexual well-being. Testosterone regulates libido, muscle mass, and bone density, and its decline can lead to fatigue and changes in mood. Factors such as genetics and diet influence testosterone…

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;…

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…

Safely Taking Methylene Blue: A Beginner’s Guide
Reading Time: 6 minutes. When taking methylene blue, you’ll need to follow strict safety protocols and precise dosing guidelines. Start by confirming the correct dosage with your healthcare provider, typically 50-300mg for oral use or 1-2mg/kg for IV administration. Don’t combine it with serotonergic medications like SSRIs or MAOIs, and wait at least 2-5 weeks…

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…

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…

Administering Methylene Blue: Methods and Best Practices
Reading Time: 15 minutes. You’ll need to administer methylene blue primarily through IV infusion over 5-30 minutes, diluted with 50 mL of 5% Dextrose Injection. For the treatment of adult methemoglobinemia, use 1 mg/kg IV; pediatric doses range from 0.3 to 1 mg/kg. Do not use sodium chloride solutions for dilution. You must continuously monitor…
