Methylene blue is excellent. Everyone needs to be using small amounts of it. It's extremely safe.
for what purpose? lol its not extremely safe and why its no longer used as it once was. def don't take it if on antidepressants as can cause serotonin syndrome. also please find a study about long term use of MB... even short term uses has its issues.
this sounds safe to you? and everyone should take it? I think u have been misinformed, ESP if promoting LONG TERM USE!!! yowza
"One of the popular cationic dyes that is environmentally persistent, toxic, CARCINOGENIC and MUTEGENIC is methylene blue (MB) dye. It is commonly applied as synthetic dye for dyeing fabrics in clothing and textile industries and also for dyeing papers.."

aswell as give anemia and irritate bladder, keep in mind that is all with acute use. not LONG TERM use, as likely unstudied.
I get it for folks that never used it in the biology lab and read the MSDS and how u dont even want it on your skin because of cancer risk.

Toxicity and carcinogenicity studies of methylene blue trihydrate in F344N rats and B6C3F1 mice - PubMed more cancers in mice study.
again, see this all the time, folks read blog entries about how safe something is when if actually did research would find out wait, it causes cancer? wait, its bad for environment as persists. forget there is a HUGE difference from back in the day being used acutely to treat something that would otherwise kill you (ie benefit of preventing dying from cyanide was worth any risk as just 1 dose vs EVERYDAY).
If read literature and somehow think EVERYONE should take it DAILY, im not sure what world u live in but your wrong. If read indications for use is for 1 day ONLY in life or death circumstances, and ONLY when prepared for anaphylaxis.
really hope you have data saying long term use is ok when promoting its use when literature indicates it is toxic carcinogenic and mutagenic.. 99.999% if something is known carcinogen and mutagenic u want to avoid taking it chronically esp when no real reason to take it. OR hopefully learned a lesson about what MB REALLY does to your body and will think twice about taking it for whatever reason u think EVERYONE should be taking it.
