Today we’re going to talk about methylene blue. I haven’t talked about this before because it’s not a natural remedy—it’s actually a synthetic drug. However, it has some interesting properties.
Methylene blue is sold over the counter and has been around for a very long time. It was the first fully synthetic drug in medicine, one of the first antibiotics, and one of the first antipsychotic drugs.
It was also used for malaria and is currently used for cyanide poisoning and carbon monoxide poisoning. In low doses, methylene blue acts as an antioxidant.
Methylene blue can potentially help with certain conditions, including:
• Septic shock
• Anaphylaxis
• Viruses
• Fatigue
• Brain fog
• Memory loss
• Depression
• Candida
• Nerve degeneration
• Gout
• Mitochondrial dysfunction
• Inflammation
If you decide to try methylene blue, I suggest getting the USP pharmaceutical grade one percent solution. This will give you about 0.5 mg per drop.
Someone taking an SSRI would not want to take methylene blue. Check with your doctor before taking something like this for any other contraindications.

Wow these are amazing benefits! thank you again Dr Berg 😊
You’re most welcome!
Interesting! If cancer is a metabolic disease, I bet this could help. Also interesting that the protocol for a cancer treatment had the initials “REDUX” . Hmmmm…Picking up this for my medicine cabinet. I stay away from synthetics as well, but this may help someone in the coming days. As always- Dr. Berg to the rescue!
Same thoughts!
*_One of the very few places that you can get a truly informative, accurate education – Always with Dr Berg, every single time …_*
Wow! Jane, is that you in your avatar?? Gorgeous!!
Good morning Dr. Berg, Thank you so much for all the information you provide us with on daily basis. Since you are very much involved in growing your own veggies and raising chickens, we would greatly appreciate it if you can make a video about how to raise healthy chickens. The eggs that we buy at the grocery store are not nutrient dense and contain soy. Thanks again.
Most of our local feed even contain soy in order to provide the protein chickens need. I tried sprouting lentils for my free ranging chickens and they turn their beaks up at it. Given the choice they pick out corn ( locally grown non gmo) and seed but leave behind the expensive pellet or crumble, which then attract the rodents.
A friend of mine sprouts sunflower seeds and his chickens love it.
I thank the creator that there are people like Dr. Berg❤
Methylene blue is also in the medicine uribel that helps with my interstitial cystitis. I call it a miracle drug for that reason.❤
Where do you get it?
hi Dr. Berg, im watching your video at 3:30am p/s/t b-cuz of insomnia but I watch all your videos. im requesting if you can talk about living without a spleen in the near future. what i researched so far is our gut is 70% our immune system then our thyroid, liver and so forth. iv been following your keto diet and man its done such a tremendous change to my body…👍🏼
Never heard of this substance before. Reminds me of another remedy like hydrogen peroxide. So very useful used properly. It’s a crime how this information isn’t made know to the general public. Thank you so much for another arrow to put in my quiver of home medicine.
If more Dr.s shared Dr Burgs passion for helping people this world would be so much healthier! Thank you Dr Burg
Thanks for this info Dr. Berg. Although MB appears to be useful for many things and it is very safe for most, my only concern is if it has any adverse impact on our microbiome. MB has many beneficial effects, and it also acts as an antiviral, but will it also act as a bacteriacide and damage our legion of freinds in our gut? Does anyone out in YouTube land have any answers and research that could shed light on this aspect of MB? Dr. Berg, do you know?
Dr. Francisco Gonzalez-Lima (University of Texas at Austin) says no. Someone emailed him this exact question recently on another podcast, and reported back his response.
Thanks Key Largo. I’ve been taking MB for a few years with good results along with red light. Just trying to optimize and am looking deeper. Dr. G. has some very good research and Mark Sloan’s book is useful as well.
I use this for my freshwater fish. Recently I used it to save my $600 lavender Ranchu goldfish. She had a huge hole in her back that was created by another fish. I thought for sure I was going to lose her. I moved her into a hospital tank for over a month and used methylene blue and she healed up beautifully.
Sounds more like a heron strike too me that keep eye out will ploat your pond!
@Micks rovers MG well, they are indoors in a 270 gallon aquarium. No herons in the living room. It was American Flag fish that were attacking her. They got moved to a separate tank. She was new to the community of 14 goldfish and they targeted her. But you are correct, outdoor fish are very vulnerable to predators from the sky!
Salute to my favorite internet doctor! So many people appreciate you! What a blessing you are!
I work in a lab and we use methylene blue for staining blood slides. Never knew it could be used for people! Neat!
This was given to the “blue Fugates” family of Kentucky that had a genetic defect that caused them to have very blue skin. It almost instantly turned them back to a normal skin color. It is a fascinating case.
Never heard of them turning normal color. Got a link?
No cap yo
Really? I heard that Methylene turns your skin bluish, same with like Colloidal Silver, I meant I guess it happens when you take it for a long time.
It would be super appreciated to have a reputable source. It’s my understanding even some pharmaceutical grade still has heavy metals.💚
Thanks for all you do. The material is easily digestible and dense. I can only imagine the the time of research and prep that goes in to these videos. You get to the point and don’t take an hour to explain things. Thank you!!
I recently found out about MB through a functional med PA who was trying to help me treat double ear infections on my non-verbal, sensory issues 2yo. We tried breathing treatments with the few remanding drops orally. Within three days of three of these treatments, it was like seeing a different kid. After a month of maybe one or two oral doses a week, he is saying I Love You, Hi, and Up (a couple of times). Yesterday he wore shoes for over a hour! Before he wouldn’t let you touch his head. It was like he could see that hand coming from a mile away, even from behind. Now he WANTS me to touch his face, neck, ears and head. He is giving kisses and interacting in a completely different way! We have made more progress in one month than we have made in over a year!
This stuff is AMAZING!
People want to leave testimonials and then leave you hanging!?
Methylene blue is very familiar to anyone who has a freshwater aquarium. It’s been used for decades as an antibiotic.
Thanks for another useful informative video Dr Berg! 🙏🏻 I don’t know if you’ve ever looked too much into this topic but would you ever consider doing a video talking about what Covid does to our immune system and how it seems to dysregulate it? And how it has even been compared to HIV/AIDS in its nature? Thank you for all you do in bringing us this important information
I just want to thank you Dr. Berg. I love watching your videos and I am learning so much. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos and the information you give.
I had thyroid cancer and also my gallbladder is removed. I gained so much weight with my cancer and hypothyroidism and wasn’t getting anywhere with my doctors. I now understand insulin resistance and I’m doing 22 hours fasting and drinking ACV with lemon. I just started but it is making such a difference. Thank you so much.
