And so I do think that there are some people who are, they're like, oh, I feel so much better.

And it's like, yeah, bro, you're taking an antidepressant.

So that's part of it.

But if you look at what it actually does,

It is a very non-specific rewirer of how your mitochondria produce energy.

And if you can think of it like, let's say there's a main road in the city and it's the best road and that's why everyone's on it, but it's blocked.

and then they set up detours, they're gonna help the traffic because that road is blocked.

You actually can't get through there.

And so the side roads that would take you somewhere are actually better because they're not blocked, right?

So in the context where you need the detours, the detours help you.

But if the main road was not blocked and they start putting up detour signs and people start going out in the side roads, they're not going to get to their destination faster.

They're just getting tricked by the mess, the chaos that was created by people putting up detour signs that they didn't need.

So methylene blue is something that goes into your mitochondria and sets up detour signs all over the place.

And how does it do that?

Yeah.

So what your mitochondria do to produce energy is they extract.

You have a molecule like carbohydrate or an amino acid from the protein that you ate or fatty acid from the butter you're eating.

You've got to break that apart.

You've got to take out the energy and you've got to synthesize ATP with it.

The ATP is the general energy currency of the cell.
