Facts and myths about Methylene Blue

Methylene Blue

 

Methylene blue is a synthetic dye, that was originally used to color paper, wool, silk, and cotton fabric. Later it was used by researchers as a stain for identifying bacteria and parasites.arasites. 

 

In medicine – it is an antioxidant that can help a rare blood disorder that affects how red blood cells work in the body.

It has previously been used for treating cyanide poisoning and urinary tract infections, but this use is no longer recommended.

 

Methylene blue is a medication and laboratory-made dye that has been repurposed for many different uses. However, it’s only approved to treat acquired methemoglobinemia. People who are pregnant or nursing, take medications that raise serotonin levels, or have a G6PD deficiency should avoid this medication.


It does not really have a ‘feel’ impact or energizing effect. It is not without risk. Methylene blue has a boxed warning — the FDA’s most serious type of warning — for a risk of serotonin syndrome when used with other medications that raise serotonin levels. Serotonin syndrome is a potentially life-threatening condition that is caused by too much serotonin in the brain. Symptoms can include muscle spasms, sweating, and agitation, among others.

The dietary supplement “Recharge” by TWC (The Wellness Company) is $98.99 a month on smartship. 

They have 2 ingredients – Urolithin A, and Methylene Blue.

They claim it increases ATP (energy in the cell) and promotes healthy aging, healthy brain, and is an antioxidant.

1. 500 mg Methylene Blue – not approved as a dietary supplement. May have serious side effects at 500mg, their dosage.

 

“Generally considered unsafe at this high dose without medical supervision: While lower doses of methylene blue (e.g., 10-30mg) may be explored for off-label uses, 500 mg is significantly above the typical range and poses potential risks.

Potential for Serotonin Syndrome: Combining 500 mg of methylene blue with serotonergic drugs (like many antidepressants) dramatically increases the risk of serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition.

Other Risks: Even without drug interactions, high oral doses can cause gastrointestinal issues, methemoglobinemia (iron in the blood unable to carry oxygen) at doses exceeding 7 mg/kg, and other adverse effects.”

Some medicines that should not be taken with methylene blue include:

 

“Certain medicines for depression or anxiety, including bupropion (Aplenzin, Forfivo, Wellbutrin), clomipramine (Anafranil), citalopram (Celexa), doxepin (Silenor), duloxetine (Cymbalta), escitalopram (Lexapro), fluoxetine (Prozac), fluvoxamine (Luvox), paroxetine (Paxil), sertraline (Zoloft), trazodone, and venlafaxine (Effexor)

Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) for depression, such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), and tranylcypromine (Parnate)

Milnacipran (Savella), which treats fibromyalgia

Mirtazapine (Remeron), a tetracyclic antidepressant

Rasagiline (Azilect) and selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam, Zelapar), Parkinson’s disease treatments

St. John's wort, a supplement

Tryptophan, a supplement

Antidepressant medications are a concern because of a complication called serotonin syndrome. Serotonin syndrome is a drug reaction that happens when medication combinations create high levels of serotonin in your body. You can have mild symptoms like shivering and diarrhea or severe symptoms like muscle rigidity, fever, and seizures. It can even cause death if you don't treat it.”

2. Urolithin – A – 30mg – found in food like pomegranate, berries, walnuts – may support muscle health and fight inflammation. Need to be careful if have liver or kidney issues. It is an antioxidant and promotes healthy aging.

Research has been primarily in rodent models, and more human research is needed. Generally considered safe.

If you want better ATP production and mitochondrial function – nothing can top the Vital A&E.

Created by a Physician, A Nutritionist, and a Scientist. Dr. Seidman has a patent on how it works – clinically shown in the body – to work.

The Vital A&E™ formula nourishes at the cellular level, replenishing lost nutrients that help cells function better:

 

•​Enhances the powerhouse of the body’s cell – mitochondrial function.

•​Boosts productivity and activity.

•​Helps mitochondria function, and may slow some of the processes of aging.

•​Slows – and may reverse – age-related hearing loss.

•​Supports healthy memory and brain function.

•​Supports hearing as we age.

•​In double doses may help fight symptoms of chronic fatigue, and other age-related memory declines.

 

So Powerful, it is patented!

Therapeutic Treatment for Mitochondrial Function", U.S. serial #08/931,134. Patent 5,977,162

Acetyl L-Carnitine HCI - Most of the cells in your body contain carnitine, which your liver and kidneys make. Carnitine helps your cells produce energy. Studies show this nutrient may help support healthy, active brain function and slow or lower the risks of aging. It has also been studied and shown to support healthy mood, fighting sad feelings. It can also support healthy blood sugar.

 

Alpha Lipoic Acid - is an antioxidant found in every cell, where it helps turn glucose into energy. Antioxidants attack "free radicals," waste products created when the body turns food into energy. Free radicals cause harmful chemical reactions that can damage cells, making it harder for the body to fight off infections. They also damage organs and tissues. This may help fight symptoms of neuropathy from diabetes, and may support healthy blood sugar levels too. It supports healthy brain and vision. It can also support fighting inflammation in the gut. 

 

Coenzyme Q10 – is a powerful antioxidant found in every cell in the body. Free radicals can contribute to the aging process, and damage cell membranes, even our DNA. CoQ10 can help energy production in the cells, and help neutralize free radicals. It has many benefits for immune, heart, brain, and cellular health.

 

L-Glutathione – is a nutrient found in the body. It is involved in tissue building and repair, making chemicals and proteins needed in the body, and in immune system function. Glutathione is involved in detoxification, and helps the cells remove waste, and helps neutralize oxidants. It can help strengthen the gut wall too, fighting leaky gut syndrome. 

 

Glutathione can help protect our bodies from several health issues, increase fat metabolism, and support brain health too.

•​Helps make DNA, the building blocks of proteins and cells.

•​Supports immune function.

•​Breaking down some free radicals.

•​Regenerating vitamins C and E

•​Transporting mercury out of the brain

•​Helping the liver and gallbladder deal with fats

•​Assisting regular cell death (a process known as apoptosis)

High Blood Pressure and diet

High Blood Pressure and diet


Blood pressure is the pressure that occurs when blood pushes against the walls of your arteries. Today in the USA – about 1 in 2 people have high blood pressure, and many do not know it because you don’t feel symptoms. 

 

High blood pressure can lead to stroke, heart attack, dementia, vision loss, kidney disease, peripheral artery disease which can cause pain, cramping, and even loss of limb.

 

You can help your blood pressure naturally, by

• Physical activity each week (about 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week)

• Not smoking

• Eating a healthy diet, including limiting sodium (salt) and alcohol

• Keeping a healthy weight

• Managing stress

https://www.cdc.gov/high-blood-pressure/about/index.html

 

For those with high blood pressure

https://healthmatch.io/high-blood-pressure/foods-to-avoid-with-high-blood-pressure#what-is-high-blood-pressure

 

https://www.eatingwell.com/article/7571306/best-and-worst-foods-for-healthy-blood-pressure/

 

1. Watch the sodium. The recommended upper limit for those with Blood pressure concerns is 1500 mg, and upper limit for all at 2300 mg. Unfortunately to day the average person is getting more than double the recommended amount at 3400mg, which is also 50% more than we should.

 

There is a lot of salt in food – it makes bland food taste better, and can help preserve it too.

So read your labels and try cooking with out salt. Once you go low sodium, you will be amazed at how salty food tastes, and how thirsty it can make you. The sodium can also help retain water in your body which puts more pressure on your heart. 

 

2. Another thing that increases blood pressure – which may surprise you – is sugar.

Sugar is a key contributor to heart disease.

Eating too much sugar can inhibit the production of nitric oxide (NO) in blood vessels. Nitric oxide normally helps with vasodilation (expanding of the blood vessels). Without NO, vasoconstriction (narrowing of the blood vessels) can result, leading to high blood pressure.


https://www.verywellhealth.com/sugar-and-hypertension-5117022#:~:text=Eating%20too%20much%20sugar%20can,leading%20to%20high%20blood%20pressure

 

https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/007483.htm

 

3. Fried Foods

Fried foods like french fries or chicken wings can increase your risk for diabetes, and for high blood pressure. They raise blood pressure and can constrict blood vessels. They typically also are high in sodium.

 

Health fats do not. You can eat nuts, avocado, olive oil and improve your heart health, gut health and brain health.

 

4. Alcohol – while a glass of wine is good for our heart, especially red wine – too much of any alcohol can be bad. Alcohol can stimulate your cortisol hormone – or stress hormone, causing weight gain, fatigue, and impact your heart.

 

Foods to eat.

1. Healthy fats – as we already noted – walnuts, avocado, olive oil, even butter had butyric acid that boosts good bacteria in the gut, and where more butyric acid is made that helps reduce inflammation and help circulation and heart health. 

2. Banana’s, beets, and spinach have potassium and that can help flush sodium from the body. We have an electrolyte balance in our KeTonic too.

3. Calcium - Calcium is vital for heart health, playing roles in heart muscle function, blood clotting, and regulating blood pressure. We have this nutrient in Vital Daily in the Vital Pak supplements from Dr. Seidman. We also have calcium and a nutrient in our Core shake that boosts absorption of calcium into the body by +47%. One Core shake a day not only fuels you with lean protein, low sodium, and full serving of prebiotic fiber – but it helps you absorb calcium from the shake and any foods you eat during the day. 

4. Fiber – especially prebiotic fiber - Prebiotic fibers, such as those found in cooked garlic, cooked onions, raw asparagus, and sweet potatoes, can contribute to healthy blood pressure by promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. These bacteria produce substances, like short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which can help lower blood pressure. Additionally, prebiotic fibers can improve the absorption of minerals like calcium, which may also contribute to blood pressure management. 

 

We have a full serving of a clinically studied and patented prebiotic fiber in the whey based Core shake, and the plant based V-Pro shake. We also have 3 types of prebiotics in our Tri-Active Fiber Pro.

How can JTH help?

1. We can help you lose and maintain your weight. 

2. Our shakes are lean protein, low fat, have prebiotic fiber, and nutrients to help you absorb nutrition better. We are more than a protein shake – we are a health shake. 

3. Fiber pro – unlike other fibers – this one is not gassy or gritty and it is prebiotic fiber. Other brands are not. Affordable too. Mix into your morning coffee or afternoon tea, or stir into yogurt, soup or any food and boost your heart, gut, brain, moodand overall health.

4. Excelerade  - contains Citrulline malate is a nutrient that can help dilate blood vessels and help them stay soft and supple. It converts to arginine in the body which supports healthy blood flow, oxygen in the blood, and can support healthy blood vessels too.

Athletes often supplement with Citrulline malate for a reason!

5. Omega – Vital Omega is a more powerful, robust Omega blend that supports heart, bone, joint health. It is also good for skin, hair and nails. 

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3607063/ 

 

Vital Omega https://www.fluid.app/s/dae5c7

6. Try KeTonic – it has magnesium and potassium. Potassium can help remove sodium from the body, while magnesium in the body supports muscle function, nerve function, blood sugar levels, and blood pressure. 

 

Keytonic https://www.fluid.app/s/c39657

7. MCT’s – and a keto diet may aid brain health and also blood pressure. We have an easy to digest form in the Ignite product. You can put it in coffee, tea, juices, etc. for cream flavor and to curb hunger.

Great for intermittent fasting it curbs hunger, and tastes like ice cream with no sugar.

Ignite https://www.fluid.app/s/8403cc

8. Polyphenols (fruit and vegetable compounds) can help the brain.

Indole 3 carbinol is also good for the brain and cellular health. It is derived from broccoli, brussel sprouts kale. So you can add an Indole 3 carbinol supplement – or in our Jump products the Fruit & Veg Power capsules would be good and we have a lot of polyphenols in the Vital Defense.

 

vegetable power and fruit power https://www.fluid.app/s/942f1a
