@RSJdesign It looks like RFK is adding methylene blue to his water! But what is methylene blue? 😮 comment “how?” If you would like us to post of video about how it works. Methylthioninium chloride, widely known as methylene blue, is a synthetic liquid drug with a vibrant blue color. It contains various compounds, including carbon, chlorine, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur. Methylene blue was first developed in the 1870s and used as a textile dye. However, scientists soon discovered its therapeutic effects on malaria and its antibiotic and antipsychotic potential. Today methylene blue is being used for its wide range of benefits including: 1. It may improve depression. Methylene blue can increase the release of neurotransmitters in the brain, including dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. These neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that help regulate mood and are widely known as feel-good hormones. A study published in Biological Psychiatry found that daily methylene blue supplementation had potent antidepressant effects in those with severe depressive illness. In addition, methylene blue may improve anxiety in those with bipolar disorder. 2. It supports cognition. Pharmaceutical-grade methylene blue can cross the blood-brain barrier and may help reduce oxidative stress in the central nervous system. Research published in Cureus found that methylene blue has various neuroprotective benefits, including improving memory and cognitive function. 3. It has antimicrobial properties. Methylene blue has been shown to have antimicrobial effects against several fungi species and infectious bacterial strains. A study published in the Journal of Orthopedic Surgery and Research found that methylene blue contains antimicrobial agents that inhibit the growth of candida species, Staphylococcus bacteria, and Escherichia coli (E. coli). These bacteria are associated with vaginal yeast infections, oral thrush, staph infections, and urinary tract infections (UTIs). #methyleneblue - @simidoctors
