That's certainly when we learned about it, particularly, you know, I learned about it through this doctor who was telling me with COVID patients he was getting immediate, like within a day of stopping of COVID symptoms from using methylene blue. That's what like piqued my interest. Like, wow, that's incredible.

And then he went on to say that then COVID tests were turning negative within a matter of like two days, which was unheard of. I've seen that with something else, but I'll get back to that. And so that's when I was like, oh, this is, you know, it started to be talked about and learned about it.

So methylene blue, when we talk about the mitochondria using that mitochondrial membrane binds to cytochrome C oxidase. And I think of it, you know, traditionally it's used when people have carbon monoxide poisoning. They'll still use it. You go in the emergency room, you have carbon monoxide poisoning, it'll give you methylene blue.

And it helps your red blood cells displace the carbon monoxide and put oxygen there. And so it's an oxygenator. That's how I think of it.

Yeah, I don't believe it's on the water list. Okay. I don't believe. Or just look for the people with the blue tongues. Yeah, easy test. So methylene blue, absorbed very well orally. I think of it like NAD, the molecule NAD, because it works on those cytochromes. Different than NAD, though, because NAD is not, if you're taking NAD by itself, not absorbed orally well at all.

It's one of the trouble with it. Methylene blue is, and actually you can take way bigger dosages orally than intravenously. We've given it intravenously a lot, but we're limited in using it intravenously just because it'll start to cause some spasm of the vein. The arm starts hurting if you're giving too much methylene blue, either too much or too quickly. And so we can give it orally.

You can get a capsule of it. That's how we, our pharmacy- What dosages? So I think a good dose is no more than 10 milligrams. 10 milligrams. Yeah. Taken when? In the morning. It is, you know, it's a cognitive stimulant for sure.
