I am glad his dumb ass friends will be gone soon

I’m just waiting for Rogan to say DMT stops cancer and frankly I’m surprised it hasn’t happened yet

These people treat knowable medical information the way that people a decade or so ago used to treat stories about ghosts or being abducted by aliens.

So, methylene blue can be used as a fabric dye; it can also be used as ink for temporary or permanent tattoos. However, medically, it's used in the treatment of methemoglobinemia, as a urinary analgesic, anti-infective, and anti-spasmodic agent, or in endoscopy as a gastrointestinal dye, and can also be used as a rescue antidote in life threatening poisonings causing refractory shock states and other shock states.

While I sincerely doubt anyone's state IV cancer has been cured by methylene blue, dismissing it as "a fabric dye" is wrongfully dismissive of it's actual medical uses.

I mean, I'm fine with them pushing this misinformation. That's just fewer of their audience who survive cancer and go vote.

Until it causes the trump administration to drive to withdraw approvals for effective treatments in favor of this stuff...

He's long been known as a soggy wet noodle. What I want to know is, was he closeted, or never quite instant noodles?

I support right-wingers who are dumb enough to believe this right to use this treatment (without forcing any doctors to do so, of course). It will only serve to diminish their numbers.

Note that RFK Jr wants to withdrawal approval for vaccines for anyone to use...

As it propagates within their own circles, as they get real power we all get to be in the same boat as subject to their wild theories.

Fabric dye? Sometimes I wish we hadn't done all this testing on animals to make sure this stuff was safe to consume...

Methylene blue is the most surprising of them all. It's often used as a cationic stain (so it reacts with negatively charged stuff) for bacterial identification and "making cells more visible".

I barely understand how it works but also heard that is used intravenously for some anoxia issues by some smart doctors but with someone not suffering anoxia, that seems like a thing that you don't want in your body.

Edit: and as an aquarium dye to battle fungal infections.
