So, does that mean if I add 23 drops to 1 drop of the 23.3% that I get .1%?

I know someone said to put it in a gallon of water. How much 1 drop? Isn't that 200%?

As you can tell, I am not understanding this AT ALL!

Please help! Thank you!

You are using equal parts.

1:1

1 ml of 2.3% 1ml of water = 2 ml of 1.15%

--

1:10

1ml of 2.3% 10ml of water = 11 ml of .23%

You just move the decimal point to the left for each factor of 10 since the quantities we are using are metric. 10 100 1000 = .23 .023 .0023

23 divided by 23 = 1

so 2.3 divided by 23 = .1

and 2.3 divided by 46 = .05

so!

1 ml of 2.3 + 23ml of water = 24 ml of .1% solution.

Don't make it harder than it is. :)

I've always believed that trying to exactly create a 0.1% Methylene Blue(MB) solution from, say, a 2.33% MB solution is such a pain!

But there is a much easier way of doing it. All you have to do is work out the milligrams of MB powder that you need and the problem becomes easy.

And you only really need to know a few simple facts and here they are:

0.1% MB contains 0.05mg per drop.

1% MB contains 0.5mg per drop.

2% MB contains 1.0mg per drop.

So, if you're a bit picky and you want the exact MB amount then it follows from the above that:

2.33% MB contains 1.165 mg per drop

Let's try a quick example, so that everyone understands it better.

Say for example that you want to take 10 drops of 0.1% Methylene Blue per day but you only have 1% MB.

Here's how to work out the drop dosage:

From the above, 1 drop of 0.1% MB contains 0.05 mg MB powder, so a 10 drop dose will contain 10 x 0.05 = 0.5mg MB.

And that also means that 10 drops of 0.1% MB will contain the same milligram amount of MB powder as 1 drop of 1% or half a drop pf 2% MB.

And just to be clear -- I always use the Methylene Blue that is advertised for fish tanks because fish breathe in water. And they breathe in the Methylene Blue as well. It's also well-known that fish are highly sensitive to poisons, heavy metals etc in their water -- much more so than us humans in our air environment. And I should also mention that Ted from Bangkok always recommended that Methylene Blue for the fish tank was quite adequate for human consumption.

Some other facts about MB, which might help:

The effects of MB on the body will always vary from person to person because we are all built differently. Generally, if you are using a low dose and use a certain MB dose with water that makes you a bit hyper or nauseous then you should reduce the MB dose. Similarly, if you are using a low dose and it's doing nothing for your problem then you should increase the MB dose.

Generally and for me anyway, a total daily dose of MB would be in the range 3 mg to 30 mg -- taken in split doses, depending on what was wrong with me.

According to my research, Methylene Blue has a half-life in your body of 6 hrs and is completely eliminated in 24 hrs.

If I had a serious and systemic fungal problem or a viral infection or a blood clot I would probably take more MB -- in the range of 80mg to 100mg or more in split doses. This is still well below the lower limit of 2mg/kg.

During the Vietnam war, the US troops took Methylene Blue powder by the spoonful. So Methylene Blue is tried tested and used both at high and low dosages over the last 130 years. So yes, MB is well known and quite safe to use.

I use Methylene Blue because it helps protect my cognitive abilities, anti-Alzheimer's, antioxidant, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, enhances the body's energy cycle and helps to regulate the immune system -- prevents inflammation and prevents out-of-control cytokine storms, which makes it doubly useful against COVID viruses.

Last fact for you. Methylene Blue kills a large range of viruses, bacteria and fungi that is probably only matched by Lugol's Iodine and Colloidal Silver -- and no microbial can adjust to those remedies. And, of course, pre-WW2 medicine used all three of those medicines to good effect.
