Hi
@Uklawyer -- I get regular emails from Orthomolecular Medicine, and one of their important contributors is Thomas Levy, MD, whose innovative and intriguing work I've been familiar with for many years (he's done tons of research on Vit. C therapy). He wrote an article on Methylene Blue which sparked my interest in it. I wrote the following post below the dotted line. The link below that starts with "Jane's tip..." is by a woman who says Methylene Blue has significantly increased her energy levels.

Thomas Levy, M.D. just published a lengthy 8-page article on Methylene Blue at Orthomolecular Medicine, which I think has potential implications for ME/CFS. It is quite long (and dry), and has voluminous references at the end. But I found it so intriguing, I just purchased a 100 ml. (3.5 oz) bottle of it at Amazon for $26.50, and anticipate starting it next week when it arrives.
Resolving Colds to Advanced COVID with Methylene Blue
Reading this prompted me to do some research on Methylene Blue, and I came across some interesting references, many of which I feel could easily connect to ME/CFS, such as:
- Methylene Blue supports apoptosis (cell death) in cancer cells.
- Methylene Blue is highly supportive of mitochondrial function.
- Cancer is largely (or primarily) a mitochondrial disease.
- Methylene Blue supports ATP production.
- Methylene Blue is similar in structure to Vit. C, and is a powerful antioxidant.
- Methylene Blue easily crosses the blood brain barrier, and has been helpful for all kinds of brain disorders.
- Methylene Blue was first discovered (or formulated) in 1876, and is purported to be the first pharmaceutical drug.
- Methylene Blue is helpful for a broad array of neurological disorders.
- Methylene Blue is a broad ranging anti-fungal medication.
- There are indications Parkinson's Disease is caused by fungal infections.
- Parkinson's Disease is being diagnosed at a faster rate than Alzheimer's.
- Dosages of Methylene Blue are fairly low, and highly individualized. Taking more than a minimal maintenance dose normally doesn't increase efficacy.
The woman in the following 9-minute video claims Methylene Blue gave her so much more energy, she would only take it in the morning, otherwise it could affect her sleep:

Just to mention, I used to have this done about 2x/year prior to getting tinnitus 5 years ago. I stopped doing it after getting tinnitus for fear of making my tinnitus worse. But I'm seriously considering getting it done again. Unfortunately, I'd have to find a new practitioner since I've recently moved. I've noticed there are a few YouTube videos on it, with some mentioning it helped their tinnitus. I could share more on my experiences if anybody is interested. It really shifted things for me in a major way.
I first ran across this therapy when a friend suffered a concussion, and over the ensuing months, began to show more and more signs of ME/CFS. She heard about this therapy from a friend who had had a serious head injury as a child, and suffered seizures ever since. Once her friend had the cranial release done, his seizures stopped. Once my friend had it done, her ME/CFS symptoms reversed, and she is completely healthy today. Most people don't realize how structural issues can lead to significant health problems. Unfortunately, conventional medicine normally pays little attention to potential structural issues.

And anyone who wants to hate/object can save their thumbs a workout and just breeze past this post.
