| > We really shouldn't be taking chemicals used on animals for veteran purposes and use them on humans too. While I totally agree in principle, the specific substance in question (methylene blue) is used on humans already (or should I add was used, at the time of the 1933 study), and for a related emergency purpose: fixing hemoglobin that is poisoned in a certain way, giving rise to a condition called methemoglobinemia. > And now this whole methylene blue thing, RFK takes methylene blue. I have no idea about that; I don't follow tabloid stuff. Methylene blue isn't a now thing; it's been known for a hundred years or more. > there is no way on earth it has a medicinal purpose You might be in for a surprise when you do a 15 second web search on it. RFK playing around with methylene blue doesn't mean anything. If he happens to ascribing to it properties it doesn't have and using it for situations for which it has not been proven, he's engaging in dangerous quackery. People kill themselves with fentanyl, yet it's an important drug, and on the World Health's Organization list of Essential Medicines: https://list.essentialmeds.org/ (scroll down to the F section). Oh, look what else is in this list of essential medicines! Methylthioninium chloride. A.k.a. methylene blue. Yet here you are, claiming that there is no way it has a medicinal purpose?! But you're sure you are smarter than that RFK. |
