And so in my more optimized patients that maybe they were on methylene blue a lot initially as they were kind of working on their mitochondria, working on their cellular function, their gut. their hormones, those kinds of things. Eventually, I like to wean them down to a point where they're taking it maybe on average, maybe three days a week-ish.

And that's a good mark for most people to use it in more of like a targeted way for those three days a week. And that could be, again, just more stress on the system, like a long exercise this day, a bad night of sleep, as I mentioned, like going on a plane. And Most of us are under stress on a regular basis.

Our mitochondria are used to stress on some level, but they're not used to shitty lights and shitty food and toxic relationships and screaming kids or whatever that don't stop. I find that most people can benefit from it some of the time on a regular basis, but Some people can benefit from it on a regular basis for a longer period of time.

But the dosing from a mitochondrial perspective, feeling the energy, feeling the detox capacity, feeling more resilient overall, usually between 4 and 16 milligrams. Man, I've been... really surprised by that. Initially, when we first came out with the product, I was like, this is going to be, I think that might be too low, but it's not.

I mean, I have some people, a good example is I was talking to a clinician just a week ago or so, a patient of theirs who was widowed. They'd lost their spouse maybe a year prior and just hadn't been able to like break out the funk, right? They were still kind of moping around and they just weren't doing their thing. She gave this guy four milligrams of methylene blue.

He had like the best day of his life. He was walking around. He was moving. He was doing things around his house. It was like a different person. And I have four, eight milligrams in people. I have another friend of mine. She's Dr. Stephanie Remke. She's great. And she'd be great for your podcast eventually. She's fantastic.

But she's like, I give my little old ladies with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, just a little bit of methylene blue. They can go get their haircut. They can clean. Really? and clean their floors and their kitchen, and they love it. And so just these like lower doses go a long way. And of course, there's other things that these people are doing with these clinicians, right?

But like it goes a long way. Now, if you have a chronic infection or you have severe mitochondrial stress from like an acute trauma, acute low oxygen state, this is when your dose of methylene blue should be much higher in general. So- For me, this is from an acute infection. So leave chronic infection out for a minute because that's a little bit of a different animal.

So- For me, this is from an acute infection. So leave chronic infection out for a minute because that's a little bit of a different animal.
But acute infection, acute stress, acute trauma, I'm usually dosing around one to two milligrams per kilogram for about three to five days, maybe even more than that, maybe a little bit, maybe up to seven days. So that's like 150 to about 150 milligrams of methylene blue for about three to five days. So it could be high.

But then I slowly ramped them. I quickly ramped them down after being at the higher doses. Okay. Chronic infection though, they tend to need higher amounts of methane blue for longer periods of time, usually in combination with other things as well. And so you're talking about your chronic Lyme and co-infections, for example, chronic mold.
