And so I would use a tanning bed not to get tan, but I'd use like two, three minutes at a time just because it just had a systemic effect in preventing the eczema that I would get in the winter.

I think you have to be careful with it because there is some concern that people are just, if they're tanning to tan, they're gonna wind up with too much damage to their skin.

But what I would do is, um, for morning sunlight, I think you can get like a lux meter app and just some people are, some people, they think that it's, there's no sun outside, but actually it's like a hundred times or a thousand times brighter than indoors and their eyes are adjusting.

And so it's like cloudy or overcast, but there's still a lot of value in going outside.

So I would say if you use a lux meter and it's like under 10,000, you could get a, um,

like a light therapy light at home to use to just like turn it on and not look straight into it but kind of have it going into your eyes um and then for vitamin d uh you could you could do like tanning bed but just try to really keep it minimal like go in go in for two or three minutes not like you're trying to tan you're just what i was getting at is there a different kind of tanning bed

Yeah, so there are different ratios of wavelengths.

And the ones that have more UVB are the ones that are gonna give you more vitamin D.

So if you're just going to a tanning bed place, probably the staff there tell them that you want like mixed wavelength that gives you a mix of like surface tan and deep tan.

I think that's how they, because they don't know the vitamin D science.

So I think that's how you have to get the bed that gives you more vitamin D. You have to tell them I want a mix of surface and deep.

Methylene blue is something that could do wonders for your mitochondria if you need it and could really hurt you if you don't and I think that there are there are certainly a lot of people raving about it on the internet and it's because they're it's a mix of things so there are

people that are treating themselves for a problem in their mitochondria that they don't know that they have.

And then they get an outsized voice because they're the ones raving about how much it helped them.

And so there's like selection, you know, if some, you don't get, if people didn't get a benefit or if they just felt a little worse, they don't go raving about it on the internet as much.

So that's part of it.

There is also a part of it is that when you get up to a dose of around 10 milligrams or so per day, um,

For perspective, in clinical trials of Alzheimer's, they're using 200 milligrams, but you can buy like a 0.5 milligram on Amazon.

So a lot of people are using like 0.5 milligrams.

But once you get up to 10 milligrams or so, you're getting some degree of pharmacological antidepressant effect because it's a monoamine oxidase inhibitor.
