It's Cheap, Potentially Life Changing, And I've Been Testing It Myself
A look at the notorious Methylene Blue after a ten-day-trial and what I think about taking it more.
What Is Methylene Blue?
Right from the start of this article, you’re probably wondering what methylene blue is unless you’re ahead of where some people were when they first heard of this substance. Methylene blue is a synthetic dye with potential health benefits. It has been used in the medical field for over a century, but more recent information suggests other possible uses.
Why it Might Be Good for Cancer Patients
If you have cancer and your doctor or oncologist recommended trying Methylene Blue, consider yourself lucky. From experience, it doesn’t happen for most.
A primary benefit of methylene blue in cancer therapy is that it can selectively target cancer cells. Traditional chemotherapy damages both healthy cells and cancer cells. Methylene blue affects only cancer cells. This could help reduce the side effects of chemotherapy, which is often the harshest part of having cancer.
A cheap substance that targets cancer cells. That’s probably why doctors and cancer centers don’t recommend something like this as a standard. There is far more money to be made if you don’t cure or beat a person’s cancer.
Tests have indicated that methylene blue can target cancer cells and inhibit tumor growth. This occurs when methylene blue’s anticancer effects target the mitochondria of cancer cells. Lab studies have found that methylene blue disrupts the electron transport chain in the mitochondria of cancer cells, and this leads to reduced ATP production and pushes the cancer cells to undergo apoptosis.
One study suggests that methylene blue has had a synergistic effect with chemotherapy and radiation therapy. A simple substance that can be mixed with other drinks or ingested directly might help the effects of chemotherapy or radiation treatments be more successful.
Other Potential Benefits of Methylene Blue
Through testing, the substance Methylene Blue has shown potential antimicrobial benefits against various pathogens. This includes bacteria, parasites, and fungi, and it is because it interferes with the metabolic processes of microorganisms on a cellular level, causing them to die.
Methylne Blue has shown promise as an antiviral. This claim is believable, both due to the testing involved and the history of its use.
Paul Ehrlich discovered that dyes that target certain microorganisms and leave the surrounding tissue unharmed could be used as drugs. In 1891, methylene blue was discovered to fit into this category for malaria treatment.

Since 1891, the health benefits of Methylne Blue have been tested, and over time, many doctors and researchers have agreed that it has benefits for a variety of things.
These are the established uses as of 2023:
- Treatment of Methemoglobinemia
- Treatment of Ifosfamide-Induced Encephalopathy
- Diagnostic Dye
Areas showing promise:
- Neuroprotection and Cognitive Enhancement
- Antimicrobial and Antiviral Agent
- Antimalarial
- Photodynamic therapy for cancer and skin conditions
- Supporting Mitochodrial function and anti-aging
- Treatment of Cyanide Poisoning
I’ve taken Methylene Blue orally for the past ten days. Methylene blue has a slight taste that makes it easier for most people (I suspect) to mix it with a drink. So far, after ten days, the only side effect noticed is the occasional tint of blue mixing with urine.
However, it’s the long-term benefits one hopes for that interested me. The potential from the tests on cancer cells and the explanation about what it does is very promising. Taken as suggested, its potential outweighs the price and any minor risks.
Is it a bio-hack, or is it a hoax? There appears to be plenty of history, over 130 years of history to be precise, and many people indicating success in the use of Methylene Blue for various things. Might it help to beat or cure cancer? Considering this is 45.00 a month and cancer drugs like Nubequa cost over 14,000 to the insurance industry, making the pharmaceutical industry one of the most profitable on the planet, one might argue that the truth will never get advertised to the world if it does help cure or beat cancer.
Most of us wouldn’t disagree.
After ten days, I've noticed one side effect. Other than peeing like a leperchaun, I haven't seen anything negative. With a stage IV cancer diagnosis and doctors telling me lately that I won't see more than maybe one or two summers from this point, I'll keep taking this and, hopefully with a little help and a lot of luck, be around for that third summer.

The Unthinkable May Happen Sooner Than You Think!
Are You Ready We are officially in tornado season, and the alarms have gone off multiple times for some of you. For many of us, this is a part of life. Some have noticed that these finger-of-god-like storms have increased in frequency and strength.

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.

They extend your life with all these testing treatments. I hope one of them work sooner or later. May you get the right healing method 🙏🏼 keeping you in prayers.
Although I would not be surprised at corruption and just blind-sided bias, I find it hard to believe that all doctors and researchers are so greedy that they would not wish to find better treatments for cancer. I do understand your willingness to try unorthodox things at this point and pray for your healing. Thanks for writing this piece.
"can", "might", "could", I hear a lot of hedging in this. That having been said, if I was stage IV I'd probably try it as well. (Heck, I might try it just for the blue urine, lol. As I've long said about asparagus: "It entertains twice: first on the palate, then in the stool.") I wish there would be more testing to provide more definitive results, though that's not likely during this time as federal grants for such research are currently on DOGE's chopping block. And the likelihood of pharmaceutical companies pushing something like this is slim to none for the foreseeable future. (Democrats have long been in the pockets of lawyers, Republicans in the pockets of big pharma.) With reliable, well-documented & peer-reviewed studies, most doctors I know would eagerly embrace an effective inexpensive treatment. Big pharma & CFOs of large hospitals, perhaps not so much.
