The Extensive Health Benefits of Methylene Blue

Hi Lisa, Hope you won't mind my seeking your advice. I bought 20gms MB Powder and have a set of scales (manual) that weigh in 50mgs So was able to get to 1mg which I put in 1 litre brown bottle and topped up with water. Dr Deepak Golwalker told me this so now I have a 1% solution. How many drops to take or start with? I weigh 70kgs and am 82yrs old with Isolated Systolic BP and Bowel cancer which I manage myself having refused surgery. If you could advise would be extremely grateful.

Buy already diluted from compass labs, for example.

Pam, to make a 1% liquid Methylene Blue, add (1 gram) MB powder to 100 mL of distilled water. Most measuring cups have a 100 ML line for reference for the water. To mix it together, I use an empty, clear plastic soda bottle with a screw-on cap. Pour in the water first, then pour in the MB powder. Shake it 200 to 300 times to ensure the powder is all broken apart and mixed well. Then, carefully fill your 50 mL empty MB eye-dropper bottles you've saved when you bought the liquid form. If the liquid level is hard to see while pouring MB in, shine a flashlight beam through the bottle towards your eyes, so you can see the level in the dark bottle. Go slowly for best results. Good Luck.

Wow, that's awesome. Have you heard of it helping to heal the Gut, or anyone who's tried it to rid the body Heavy Metals? (Or might it also HAVE Heavy Metals in it?)😜

(I have a lot of issues…so just started taking it).

If you supplement a good quality vit.c with M blue, the whites will not turn blue.

300 mgs, or 0.3 grams in 30 mls is 1%. A 1% solution is 1.0 grams in 100 mls liquid.

With a 1% solution of methylene blue 1 drop = 0.5 mg. In Sloane's book available on Amazon 6mg. or 12 drops of the 1% solution should produce noticeable benefits for a 150lb. person.

The concentration in the flask u bought is 1%.
300 mg = .3 gm
It is also assumed that 1 ml = 1gm
Your total volume is 30 ml
Therefore, .3 divided by 30 (times 100 to get the percentage value) = 1%

Please don't take any grade other than pharmaceutical! Methylene blue can be contaminated with heavy metals or other contaminants if it is prepared without human consumption in mind. If you go to a local compounding pharmacy (in NS the medicine shoppe is one I've had reasonable success with) they can help you out. At the pharmacy, you do not want the ophthalmic solution, as it is not tested safe for consumption either. They may be confused and initially ask you for a prescription from a doctor, but you do not need one. Methylene blue is a bulk chemical, not a drug, and as such you are left on your own in finding the appropriate grade to consume that will not hurt you over time.

I haven't read the instructions, but I am very familiar with vitamin C. Usually vitamin C means Ascorbic Acid. Sodium ascorbate is also called vitamin C - as are all the ascorbates, but the ascorbic acid has been reacted with in this case Sodium and is fully buffered so a neutral pH. This will react different chemically to straight ascorbic acid. In the instructions did they mention which form to use?

I have purchased 20gm Methylene Blue. I presume too make 1% solution I use

1gm to 1 litre liquid?

1% of that to make 0.1% solution

What liquid, distilled water or alcohol should I use to do this?

Can anyone help me with this please?

There is what I have found to be a very helpful calculator for this kind of dosage at the following URL: www.omnicalculator.com/health/dosage. I'm about to do it before I spent a couple of hours working the whole thing out on a complicated spreadsheet.

Pouring half out seems like a waste if it is expensive. Where do you purchase and for how much? Thanks

MB Dilution: To arrive from a 2.3% solution to a 0.1% solution you simply add 23 units (drops, oz, etc) of distilled water for every 1 unit of MB. I used a glass eye dropper container. Add 20 drops of 2.3% MB, then add 460 drops of distilled water.

1 cubic centimeter = 1 mL

1 mL = 1 g

The above are temperature dependent but work well for normal laboratory or home use. The concentration of your stock solution is 19,430 mg/L. MB solubility is approx. 1 g per 25 mL of water, 65 mL of alcohol.

At maximum solubility the concentration is 40,000 mg/L so your stock solution is a little less than 50% by volume.

Dilutions can be calculated by ratio and proportion using this formula

M1*V1=M2*V2

where M1 is the mass or concentration of stock solution. M2 is the mass or concentration of target solution. V1 is the volume of stock solution required to make target solution.

V2 is the volume you want of the target solution. for example to make 100 mL of a 0. 1% solution

50*V1 = 0.1* 100 so

V1 = 10/50

V1 = 0. 2 mL or 0. 2 grams of the stock solution

I hope this help you understand how dilutions work. I do not know what concentrations you should injest. My example is just to show you how do make the dilutions.

hi Meera ; you can purchase MB at Script pharmacy in Calgary Alberta. I am sure you have compounding pharmacys in TO. Script made mine to the concentrarion I asked for! This should make it easier for you. Hope that helps. Flora

I use two drops in a shot glass of distilled or spring water.

I know it's way late, I guess you already have answer, but I see so many confusions about % of solution, so here it is for those still confused:

% = g/cc, what you have 1.943g/100cc = 0.019 =~ 2% solution.

To make 0.1%, add 19 x water to it.

But better way of using it is use what Bill said:

. just use 1 drop and consider it to be 20 drops of standard 0.1%.

. add 20oz water to it. Now your 20oz is equiv. to 20 drops.

. If you take 1 oz, you just took 1 drop,

take 2 oz, you just took 2 drops, etc...

Good luck.

Don't take the fish tank version, lab, or chemical versions. Take ONLY USP grade. Anything less than USP can give you poisoning from Lead, mercury, Cadmium, etc.

be careful with this stuff. the way I've used it is to take one drop into a gallon of water, then dilute a bit further every time I take it by filling a cup or water bottle with 1/2 or 2/3 of the MB mixture and the rest with just water. don't forget to take with 1000mg vit c

Would like to know how I might use on my skin, plus amts. for bone density. Could you send a work sheet for dilutions if possible? Thank you so much Sandi

You could add one drop of 2.3% MB to 18 cups of water (which also equals one gallon and one pint of water) and take one cup of this twice a day. You do not want to take too much MB or it can make your mind too active. Don't forget to take 2,000 milligrams (or 2 grams) of vitamin C (sodium ascorbate) a day too.

Terri:
I'm assuming you meant to ask "... To end up at 0.1% concentration"?
If so, then this means that you need 22 times as much water volume to dilute as the amount you're wanting to dilute, since. 1% IS 1/23 of 2.3%. The total of 1 part solution and 22 parts water will equal the total watered-down volume 23 parts. To make the math a lot easier, one can just dilute 20:1, ie 20 parts water to 1 part solution and be very close. Measurement quantities:
20 metric drops per ml
5 ml per teaspoon (Tsp)
3 Tsp per tablespoon (Tbsp)
2 tablespoons per ounce
Thus 600 drops, or 30 ml, or 6 teaspoons per ounce. 1 cup= 8 oz= 4800 drops= 240 ml= 48 Tsp= 16 Tbsp

So there it is. Using the 20 ratio for dilution, to get 1 cup watered down solution, just dilute 240/20= 12 ml of 2. 3% (just use a kitchen measuring spoon of 1 Tsp= 5ml) INTO the 1 cup of water.

I got my methylene blue from the pharmacy. The pharmacist had absolutely no idea how to provide a 0.1% solution, so what I have now is 50mg/ml. Does anyone have any idea how to convert this? TIA.

I don't have metric measuring instruments, so to get a 1:22 ratio, I used one Tablespoon of methylene blue and 22 Tablespoons of water. 22 Tablespoons equals 1 and a quarter cups plus 2 Tablespoons. (Derived from 16 T. = 1 Cup)

Does anyone know how many drops of the diluted. 1% of the MB one would have to take for it to have an MAOI effect?

Also, would anyone know what the conversion would equate to of X amount of drops of. 1% solution of MB to X amount of mcg's or mg's of MB?

I also should have added to my post about that I do know that MB can have MAOI properties but I do not know if it has those properties at the suggested drops of. 1% solution of anywhere between 3-8 drops on this site that is suggested. I think it would be wise if anyone could determine how many drops it would take at the. 1% solution to have MAOI effects.

Maybe Ted could weigh in on this. Reason being, if someone were to ridiculously experiment with many more drops and get in the range of it acting as an MAOI, then it is dangerous to do so if in particular that you are taking it along with an SSRI antidepressant.

To be on the safe side might as well include if taken with an NRI as well. Do your own web research to confirm this. I do take MB for added energy but I also take more drops than 8 with no adverse effects. I'm not recommending anyone else take more than 8. Everyone is different... Plus I also am not on any antidepressant. Just a word of caution here if anyone is unaware of the MAOI effects of MB and not to mix with AD's if in fact you are getting in range with the drops to have it act as an MAOI.

I have 100mg MB powder. Do anyone know how to much 0.1 solution this will make? Do I just mix 1ml with 1l water?

I'm new to this site, so I just saw your message very late & realized that, as I said above in my writing, there is quite a confusion in % of MB.

You can calculate the percentage stuff using the same formula: % = g/cc -> cc = g/%:

Since you know g=0.1(100mg), %=0.001,

cc = g/% = 0.1/0.001 = 100.

So you'd make 100cc(mL) of 0.1% solution of MB.

Warning: in above formula 'g' must be in grams and % must be in "fraction" as the calculation shows.

Maybe I didn't make it clear in my previous writing,

you just put the 100mg MB into a graduated container and add distilled water to fill up to 100cc(mL), the total volume is to be 100cc when completely dissolved (which include MB & water of course).

To quote Ted: "When you do buy methylene blue, the concentration may sometimes be sold as 1%, in which case you may need to dilute this to 0.1% concentration. So if a 100 cc of 1% methylene blue is bought from a local aquarium shops, I may have to add 900 cc of water (which totals) 1000 cc or 1 liter at 0.1% concentration." - end of quotation

So if you had a 2.303% solution you would use just under 50cc of 2.303% methylene blue and 900cc of water. Does that sound right?

wow- this gets sooo confusing. OK- so I have the littel bottle of Meth Blue from science lab website... I am trying to convert the measurements here: If I have 100 cc, that equals 3 and 1/2 ozs., and then to mix the 1:9 ratio, I mix that 3 and 1/2 ozs. with a liter (900 ccs of water?) thanks... am trying not to poison myself....

i bought MB from local aquarium shop but theres no info written on it about the %. also on the cover it says for aquarium use only not medical use... so I am m confused. should I use it or not. is it safe to take 1 drop with a glass of water?

Hi Pankaj...I also use Methylene Blue bought from an aquarium shop. This also has no spec showing the percentage MB in this solution. But, generally, all Methylene Blue sold from aquariums is at 1% strength.

So what I did was just to assume that it was 1% solution.

The way I now take Methylene Blue with water is like this:

Say that I want to take 5 drops of 0.1% MB solution.

For five drops of 0.1% MB I first add 1 drop of 1% MB to a glass of water. This is equivalent to 10 drops of 0.1% MB.

Then I pour half the water out of the glass.

So you are now left with 1/2 drop 1% MB or 5 drops of 0.1% MB in solution which is your dose.

Usually, I take about 10 to 15 drops whenever needed. Always add or supplement at least 1000 mgs of Vitamin C with the methylene blue solution -- the vitamin c stops your eyes and urine turning blue. MB is a harmless stain that is also used in science to identify carbohydrates by turning blue.

Thank you for the clarity

I am just learning about Methylene Blue uses and very hopeful it will help with many of my maladies. Too many to list but fear of brain decline with age is chief concern.

Thank you. This was very helpful. I had never heard this. I'm beginning this slowly but now I know the upper limit. Much appreciated.

I read somewhere that an effective dosage is 1-5mg. In order to help with bad rheumatoid arthritis, for a 140lb person, is the correct low dose with a 1% solution about 64 drops? I have been taking only 10 drops before reading this without any noticeable relief so I would like to know if I am just taking to little and need to up it a lot, and if I need to take it as a divided dose or take 64 drops 2 times a day or however more for lasting benefits. I would greatly appreciate knowledgeable feedback so I can know what to do. Thanks

All the formulas for breaking down Methylene Blue 2.3% caused nightmares of high school math & science, resulting in an Excedrin PM headache lol. I took the info everyone provided and it averaged to be 1 part 2.3% MB : 22 - 23 parts distilled water.

Still afraid to try it, I called a friend of a friend who's a chemist - he said 1 part MB to 23 parts water. (The K--don is 2.3% water solution, zinc free.) I hope this helps!

I used methylene blue to kill fungus infections anyway. A fungus damages sensitive organs, in particular, the brain, thymus, adrenal, pancreas, spleen, thyroid, are some of the things I noticed. A fungus is killed by sodium bicarbonate because of its alkalinity, but more effectively so with potassium, magnesium, for example because it kills alkalinity intracellularly as opposed to extracellularly. This is known for ages and the doctor you have mentioned to me was Dr. Simoncini. However, I have went further to look at fungicides besides methylene blue which are more effective, such as azoxystrobin, afloxystrobin and related strobilurins. Those are much more effective at much lower dose. The depth in which baking soda is limited to extracellular fluids, but are limited in bone cancer and bone marrow where baking soda is neutralized before reaching these areas, hence the necessity to use antifungals methylene blue being one of that. The issue is not well explained at other websites WHY fungus causes cancer, but the cause is not fungus in itself, it's the toxins generated by the fungus, such as mycotoxin and aflaxtoxins are the well known cancer causing substance from fungus and perhaps mycobacterium. Hence, the toxicity of mycotoxins and aflatoxins may be reduced with the BHT, but to eliminate them effectively, a potassium should be added along with baking soda. The only issue is baking soda is not so effective because of its limited alkaline buffering capacity if we compared against the carbicarb plus potassium which goes much more deeper. The Carbicarb is a sodium carbonate plus potassium citrate (e.g. technical name is tripotassium citrate). In fact two major sodium that are more effective is the sodium citrate (e.g. trisodium citrate) and potassium citrate (e.g. tripotassium citrate) and sodium carbonate with equal mix of sodium bicarbonate (commonly called carbicarb). However the current carbicarb remedy in practice isn't that perfect and may cause some kidney pain because of sodium potassium imbalance, and hence, a potassium must be added to the carbicarb remedy to resolve this problem and larger dose can be taken.

It must be noted still that I have noted two kinds of cancer, the fast cancer and the slow cancer. The faster cancer are the metastatic cancer, which are viral in character while the slower cancer are the fungal type cancer which tends to cause bone pain and leads to osteoporosis. Still I haven't even cover how you can eliminate the tumors and this is dealt most effectively with a bloodroot tincture.

I hope this explains just a small portion of my approach to dealing with cancer.
