clinically, like working with patients, which Paul does not do, you would see and get that experience very quickly and get the response very quickly that this has nothing to do with serotonin. I mean, there's something going on with serotonin, but the effects that we're getting are not related to that at all.

Yeah. I mean, I think it, I think it's. it's good to have a counterpoint in the whole situation to talk about why that counterpoint is wrong. And from clinical experience, we know that what he's saying is not correct.

The other aspect of it is, he talked about this and Chris Masterjohn also spoke about it in various ways, is that if you have optimized mitochondria, you shouldn't take methylene blue because it can make the mitochondria worse. And so this is an important point to distinguish. And so first of all, 94% percent of the U.S. population has some element of mitochondrial dysfunction.

So there's very few people who fall in this category of optimized mitochondria, number one.
So there's very few people who fall in this category of optimized mitochondria, number one.
And even people that have optimized mitochondria still have significant stress on the mitochondria on a relatively regular clip if they are on an airplane, if all the things we mentioned before, poor sleep, stress, toxins, getting infection, all these other reasons why somebody with optimized mitochondria will still have stress on their mitochondria, okay? So for that reason, for the first part,

So for that reason, for the first part,
My first part of coming back to this is saying that 94% of the US population has some element of mitochondrial dysfunction. So as a secondary piece to that is what Chris Masterjohn initially said in one of his first treaties on methylene blue, which is a fantastic biochemistry It was really great for biochemistry. He did a great job.

So as a secondary piece to that is what Chris Masterjohn initially said in one of his first treaties on methylene blue, which is a fantastic biochemistry It was really great for biochemistry. He did a great job.
But his conclusion was that you should only take methylene blue if you have an inherited mitochondrial disorder. And this is also crazy because 94% of the US population has some element of mitochondrial dysfunction. they may not benefit as much as somebody that has an inherited mitochondrial disorder, but they can still benefit.
But his conclusion was that you should only take methylene blue if you have an inherited mitochondrial disorder. And this is also crazy because 94% of the US population has some element of mitochondrial dysfunction. they may not benefit as much as somebody that has an inherited mitochondrial disorder, but they can still benefit.
And we're seeing this on a regular basis on how these people can benefit with sort of any level of mitochondrial dysfunction. The amount of methylene blue that you need may be different. The amount of methylene blue that you need to take on a regular basis may be different, but they can still benefit if they have mitochondrial stress overall. So that's also a big piece of it.
And we're seeing this on a regular basis on how these people can benefit with sort of any level of mitochondrial dysfunction. The amount of methylene blue that you need may be different. The amount of methylene blue that you need to take on a regular basis may be different, but they can still benefit if they have mitochondrial stress overall. So that's also a big piece of it.
And then the final one, which is important is that they both discussed that you should not take methylene blue if you have optimized mitochondria. And so, okay, we've already kind of discussed that most of us have stress in our mitochondria at all time. But in the case that you have optimized mitochondria, should you take methylene blue?

And they're both pointing to a study that was done in stroke patients, in stroke animals actually. And in these stroke animals, You gave methylene blue immediately after you gave an animal a stroke, the size of their infarct, the size of the area of the stroke was significantly less. They had better perfusion in that area.
