Hi Lisa, Hope you won't mind my seeking your advice. I bought 20gms MB Powder and have a set of scales (manual) that weigh in 50mgs So was able to get to 1mg which I put in 1 litre brown bottle and topped up with water. Dr Deepak Golwalker told me this so now I have a 1% solution. How many drops to take or start with? I weigh 70kgs and am 82yrs old with Isolated Systolic BP and Bowel cancer which I manage myself having refused surgery. If you could advise would be extremely grateful.

a 1% solution is 1 gram in 100 mls of water, or 10gm per liter.

This is Pam, my sincere apologies for getting this wrong. 1gm MB in 1 litre water which Dr Deepak told me could even be tap water (preferably filtered) as MB will deal with anything in it. This will give you .01%, think that is correct now. Whatever this was what Dr Deepak wrote to me when he so kindly answered my letter asking for help. I measure 1gm into water and add to a 1 litre brown glass bottle. I bought some small wide neck 5 gm bottle to put 1gm powder in for this purpose makes things easier but do cover worktop well its amazing for infiltrating everywhere it shouldn't! I take 10 drops in the morning and 11 drops late afternoon, excellent stuff.
My daughter got rid of all her painful, aching bones (Lyme) disease using this 10 drops 2x daily and swears by it. now. I use her method of putting the drops into a shot glass and have a mugful of water with 1gm Vit C some before and rest straight after taking the shot. Yes, lemon juice squeezed onto any spillage dilutes it immediately, then mop up with anything you can throw away.

Hello Pam, have you read the book "miracle in the hills"? Dr. Mary Sloop. A woman had cancer in her intestines and the doctor operated and closed her up saying it was inoperable, so the country doctor gave her MB and she lived at least 40 years. It is on page 43 chapter 9.

Great job, Pam!! Are you new to MB? I guess the Rife machine is responsible for most of your success?
You might look into chlorine dioxide solution (CDS) as another tool in the toolbox... Dr. Kalcker is the expert... here is a good start:

MB has been thoroughly studied and tested for 150 years. MMS/chorine dioxide has NOT been tested in any credible way, in fact it has been banned from many countries with explicit warnings against its use. It is a very strong oxidizer like chlorine is, even though it is partially neutralized by the citric acid. It is not tested scientifically on humans nor animals; I defy anyone to find credible studies. Dr K is the main pusher of this toxin, funny how not even one researcher in a million gives MMS any credibility. It is not proven safe whatsoever. Unless and until someone actually runs a credible trial of at least hundreds if not thousands of people, MMS is a dangerous gamble. I tried it as I have H2O2-08 and it made me sick as hell. Please inform us how it discriminates killing only the "baddies"? Ive now read of many people harmed, possibly even some deaths. It does not have "humble" origins. It is also heavily conflated with specific religious beliefs, never a good sign when you conflate science and facts with religion; caveat emptor...

That's not true. Credible studies have been done in Russia with positive results. It has been used to clean water in other countries for decades. I was born in Spain and my mother said they used it to clean the water there 60 yrs. ago. I'm sorry but there are thousands, if not more, testimonies of people who have used MMS with great success. I don't wish to debate with you, just saying you should do more research.

Pam, to make a 1% liquid Methylene Blue, add (1 gram) MB powder to 100 mL of distilled water. Most measuring cups have a 100 ML line for reference for the water. To mix it together, I use an empty, clear plastic soda bottle with a screw-on cap. Pour in the water first, then pour in the MB powder. Shake it 200 to 300 times to ensure the powder is all broken apart and mixed well. Then, carefully fill your 50 mL empty MB eye-dropper bottles you've saved when you bought the liquid form. If the liquid level is hard to see while pouring MB in, shine a flashlight beam through the bottle towards your eyes, so you can see the level in the dark bottle. Go slowly for best results. Good Luck.

The concentration in the flask u bought is 1%.
300 mg = .3 gm
It is also assumed that 1 ml = 1gm
Your total volume is 30 ml
Therefore, .3 divided by 30 (times 100 to get the percentage value) = 1%

Reading here and elsewhere all the discussion about MB, could be helpful to put it all in perspective. I ran across also an article (link posted below) that helped with some aspects of the questions. The accepted doses for various conditions cover a range of three orders of magnitude, ~ 50 mg to as little as 50 micrograms. Even if a person determined the dilution necessary for the final dose it might not be the best amount for that person. Genetics, epigenetics and the mediation of microbiomes on any medication does make fools of MDs who are inflexible. How to get a particular dose? I have several droppers from herbal extract 1 oz bottles. One is graduated in 1/4 ml increments.
So, one ml, close 2/3 of that dropper, of the fish tank solution of 2.3% methylene blue is gonna be about 23 mg methylene blue. Just now tried with water and found 8 drops ~ .25 ml. 1 ml water is 1 gram. With MB drops the equivalent could be different because of surface tension and viscosity but that I will try later. Rough estimate at the moment is 1 drop/30 mg of 2.3% MB solution contains ~0.7 mg MB. If you want a dose in that range put n drops into a glass of water.

Please don't take any grade other than pharmaceutical! Methylene blue can be contaminated with heavy metals or other contaminants if it is prepared without human consumption in mind. If you go to a local compounding pharmacy (in NS the medicine shoppe is one I've had reasonable success with) they can help you out. At the pharmacy, you do not want the ophthalmic solution, as it is not tested safe for consumption either. They may be confused and initially ask you for a prescription from a doctor, but you do not need one. Methylene blue is a bulk chemical, not a drug, and as such you are left on your own in finding the appropriate grade to consume that will not hurt you over time.

I followed as he states: 1 part by volume of 1% to 9 parts water. I used tablespoons, 1 to 9. Then I thought I understood that would be my jar supply to work out of. I then did 10 drops (protocol amount) from that new mix and added water for drinking. Added 1/4 tsp sodium ascorbate as directed whereupon he says it should go from blue to clear. It did not clear. I'm guessing maybe he expected my powder to be same strength as his powder...or something like that? My powder is 'crystalline' and states 1/4 teaspoon is 1112 mg vitamin C as sodium ascorbate and sodium 137 mg. I guess I thought powders would be one basic same 'strength'. I added another 2 teaspoons once before hoping that would help but it did not.
I could certainly be 'one sandwich short of a picnic' in my reasoning so please help me get un-stumped. I'm very new at this stuff as well as having 50 varieties of foggy, soggy brain. Thank you for sharing your power around the universe.

I haven't read the instructions, but I am very familiar with vitamin C. Usually vitamin C means Ascorbic Acid. Sodium ascorbate is also called vitamin C - as are all the ascorbates, but the ascorbic acid has been reacted with in this case Sodium and is fully buffered so a neutral pH. This will react different chemically to straight ascorbic acid. In the instructions did they mention which form to use?

MB Dilution: To arrive from a 2.3% solution to a 0.1% solution you simply add 23 units (drops, oz, etc) of distilled water for every 1 unit of MB. I used a glass eye dropper container. Add 20 drops of 2.3% MB, then add 460 drops of distilled water.

1 cubic centimeter = 1 mL
1 mL = 1 g
The above are temperature dependent but work well for normal laboratory or home use. The concentration of your stock solution is 19,430 mg/L. MB solubility is approx. 1 g per 25 mL of water, 65 mL of alcohol.
At maximum solubility the concentration is 40,000 mg/L so your stock solution is a little less than 50% by volume.
Dilutions can be calculated by ratio and proportion using this formula
M1*V1=M2*V2
where M1 is the mass or concentration of stock solution. M2 is the mass or concentration of target solution. V1 is the volume of stock solution required to make target solution.
V2 is the volume you want of the target solution. for example to make 100 mL of a 0. 1% solution
50*V1 = 0.1* 100 so
V1 = 10/50
V1 = 0. 2 mL or 0. 2 grams of the stock solution
I hope this help you understand how dilutions work. I do not know what concentrations you should injest. My example is just to show you how do make the dilutions.

I know it's way late, I guess you already have answer, but I see so many confusions about % of solution, so here it is for those still confused:
% = g/cc, what you have 1.943g/100cc = 0.019 =~ 2% solution.
To make 0.1%, add 19 x water to it.
But better way of using it is use what Bill said:
. just use 1 drop and consider it to be 20 drops of standard 0.1%.
. add 20oz water to it. Now your 20oz is equiv. to 20 drops.
. If you take 1 oz, you just took 1 drop,
take 2 oz, you just took 2 drops, etc...
Good luck.

Art, if you apply an ascorbic acid solution, or a Vit C serum on top of the Methylene blue, the blue colour goes. Anyway, it even washes off with soap and water. I was using a 0.1% solution. I'm trying it for disc pain, knee pain in conjunction with red light therapy
Hi Chandrika,
Yes, you are correct. I'm just not sure if this version has the same effects as regular MB or if you now have essentially a different product with possibly different effects.
Do you find it is helping your disc pain and knee pain? If not, I have reports from friends suggesting that the melatonin lotion is helping both of these conditions. I wrote about it here :

You could add one drop of 2.3% MB to 18 cups of water (which also equals one gallon and one pint of water) and take one cup of this twice a day. You do not want to take too much MB or it can make your mind too active. Don't forget to take 2,000 milligrams (or 2 grams) of vitamin C (sodium ascorbate) a day too.

Terri:
I'm assuming you meant to ask "... To end up at 0.1% concentration"?
If so, then this means that you need 22 times as much water volume to dilute as the amount you're wanting to dilute, since. 1% IS 1/23 of 2.3%. The total of 1 part solution and 22 parts water will equal the total watered-down volume 23 parts. To make the math a lot easier, one can just dilute 20:1, ie 20 parts water to 1 part solution and be very close. Measurement quantities:
20 metric drops per ml
5 ml per teaspoon (Tsp)
3 Tsp per tablespoon (Tbsp)
2 tablespoons per ounce
Thus 600 drops, or 30 ml, or 6 teaspoons per ounce. 1 cup= 8 oz= 4800 drops= 240 ml= 48 Tsp= 16 Tbsp
So there it is. Using the 20 ratio for dilution, to get 1 cup watered down solution, just dilute 240/20= 12 ml of 2. 3% (just use a kitchen measuring spoon of 1 Tsp= 5ml) INTO the 1 cup of water.

Does anyone know how many drops of the diluted. 1% of the MB one would have to take for it to have an MAOI effect?
Also, would anyone know what the conversion would equate to of X amount of drops of. 1% solution of MB to X amount of mcg's or mg's of MB?
(Myrtle Beach, Sc)
01/10/2012
I also should have added to my post about that I do know that MB can have MAOI properties but I do not know if it has those properties at the suggested drops of. 1% solution of anywhere between 3-8 drops on this site that is suggested. I think it would be wise if anyone could determine how many drops it would take at the. 1% solution to have MAOI effects.
Maybe Ted could weigh in on this. Reason being, if someone were to ridiculously experiment with many more drops and get in the range of it acting as an MAOI, then it is dangerous to do so if in particular that you are taking it along with an SSRI antidepressant.
To be on the safe side might as well include if taken with an NRI as well. Do your own web research to confirm this. I do take MB for added energy but I also take more drops than 8 with no adverse effects. I'm not recommending anyone else take more than 8. Everyone is different... Plus I also am not on any antidepressant. Just a word of caution here if anyone is unaware of the MAOI effects of MB and not to mix with AD's if in fact you are getting in range with the drops to have it act as an MAOI.

(Cerritos, Ca)
02/19/2017
I'm new to this site, so I just saw your message very late & realized that, as I said above in my writing, there is quite a confusion in % of MB.
You can calculate the percentage stuff using the same formula: % = g/cc -> cc = g/%:
Since you know g=0.1(100mg), %=0.001,
cc = g/% = 0.1/0.001 = 100.
So you'd make 100cc(mL) of 0.1% solution of MB.
Warning: in above formula 'g' must be in grams and % must be in "fraction" as the calculation shows.

Maybe I didn't make it clear in my previous writing,
you just put the 100mg MB into a graduated container and add distilled water to fill up to 100cc(mL), the total volume is to be 100cc when completely dissolved (which include MB & water of course).

To quote Ted: "When you do buy methylene blue, the concentration may sometimes be sold as 1%, in which case you may need to dilute this to 0.1% concentration. So if a 100 cc of 1% methylene blue is bought from a local aquarium shops, I may have to add 900 cc of water (which totals) 1000 cc or 1 liter at 0.1% concentration." - end of quotation
So if you had a 2.303% solution you would use just under 50cc of 2.303% methylene blue and 900cc of water. Does that sound right?

Hi Pankaj...I also use Methylene Blue bought from an aquarium shop. This also has no spec showing the percentage MB in this solution. But, generally, all Methylene Blue sold from aquariums is at 1% strength.
So what I did was just to assume that it was 1% solution.
The way I now take Methylene Blue with water is like this:
Say that I want to take 5 drops of 0.1% MB solution.
For five drops of 0.1% MB I first add 1 drop of 1% MB to a glass of water. This is equivalent to 10 drops of 0.1% MB.
Then I pour half the water out of the glass.
So you are now left with 1/2 drop 1% MB or 5 drops of 0.1% MB in solution which is your dose.
Usually, I take about 10 to 15 drops whenever needed. Always add or supplement at least 1000 mgs of Vitamin C with the methylene blue solution -- the vitamin c stops your eyes and urine turning blue. MB is a harmless stain that is also used in science to identify carbohydrates by turning blue.

That assumes each drop is 1mg. Most droppers are 0.5mg per drop. Therefore, you would need to take 100 drops per day to equal a 50mg Dosage per day.
Dosage
★★★★★
You should always take MB with at least 1000 mgs of vitamin C in water in order to avoid its side effects -- Taken just on its own, MB turns your urine green and the whites of your eyes blue because it stains carbohydrates blue. Other than that there are no side effects. I've taken MB with Vit C for 8 years and what you will also find is that it will give you an energy boost and wake you up due to its positive methylation effects on the body.
You should never take MB in the evening otherwise you might have difficulty getting to sleep because it is so energizing. Other than that, I've found MB easy to use and very useful against pathogens.
The dosage that is advised here is relatively small and very safe. In the 1960s they used to give the US troops in Vietnam MB by the spoonful to help recover them from malaria.
Dosage
So, does that mean if I add 23 drops to 1 drop of the 23.3% that I get .1%?
I know someone said to put it in a gallon of water. How much 1 drop? Isn't that 200%?
As you can tell, I am not understanding this AT ALL!

All the formulas for breaking down Methylene Blue 2.3% caused nightmares of high school math & science, resulting in an Excedrin PM headache lol. I took the info everyone provided and it averaged to be 1 part 2.3% MB : 22 - 23 parts distilled water.
Still afraid to try it, I called a friend of a friend who's a chemist - he said 1 part MB to 23 parts water. (The K--don is 2.3% water solution, zinc free.) I hope this helps!

You are using equal parts.
1:1
1 ml of 2.3% 1ml of water = 2 ml of 1.15%
--
1:10
1ml of 2.3% 10ml of water = 11 ml of .23%
You just move the decimal point to the left for each factor of 10 since the quantities we are using are metric. 10 100 1000 = .23 .023 .0023
23 divided by 23 = 1
so 2.3 divided by 23 = .1
and 2.3 divided by 46 = .05
so!
1 ml of 2.3 + 23ml of water = 24 ml of .1% solution.
Don't make it harder than it is. :)

I've always believed that trying to exactly create a 0.1% Methylene Blue(MB) solution from, say, a 2.33% MB solution is such a pain!
But there is a much easier way of doing it. All you have to do is work out the milligrams of MB powder that you need and the problem becomes easy.
And you only really need to know a few simple facts and here they are:
0.1% MB contains 0.05mg per drop.
1% MB contains 0.5mg per drop.
2% MB contains 1.0mg per drop.
So, if you're a bit picky and you want the exact MB amount then it follows from the above that:
2.33% MB contains 1.165 mg per drop
Let's try a quick example, so that everyone understands it better.
Say for example that you want to take 10 drops of 0.1% Methylene Blue per day but you only have 1% MB.
Here's how to work out the drop dosage:
From the above, 1 drop of 0.1% MB contains 0.05 mg MB powder, so a 10 drop dose will contain 10 x 0.05 = 0.5mg MB.
And that also means that 10 drops of 0.1% MB will contain the same milligram amount of MB powder as 1 drop of 1% or half a drop pf 2% MB.
And just to be clear -- I always use the Methylene Blue that is advertised for fish tanks because fish breathe in water. And they breathe in the Methylene Blue as well. It's also well-known that fish are highly sensitive to poisons, heavy metals etc in their water -- much more so than us humans in our air environment. And I should also mention that Ted from Bangkok always recommended that Methylene Blue for the fish tank was quite adequate for human consumption.
Some other facts about MB, which might help:
The effects of MB on the body will always vary from person to person because we are all built differently. Generally, if you are using a low dose and use a certain MB dose with water that makes you a bit hyper or nauseous then you should reduce the MB dose. Similarly, if you are using a low dose and it's doing nothing for your problem then you should increase the MB dose.
Generally and for me anyway, a total daily dose of MB would be in the range 3 mg to 30 mg -- taken in split doses, depending on what was wrong with me.
According to my research, Methylene Blue has a half-life in your body of 6 hrs and is completely eliminated in 24 hrs.
If I had a serious and systemic fungal problem or a viral infection or a blood clot I would probably take more MB -- in the range of 80mg to 100mg or more in split doses. This is still well below the lower limit of 2mg/kg.
During the Vietnam war, the US troops took Methylene Blue powder by the spoonful. So Methylene Blue is tried tested and used both at high and low dosages over the last 130 years. So yes, MB is well known and quite safe to use.
I use Methylene Blue because it helps protect my cognitive abilities, anti-Alzheimer's, antioxidant, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, enhances the body's energy cycle and helps to regulate the immune system -- prevents inflammation and prevents out-of-control cytokine storms, which makes it doubly useful against COVID viruses.
Last fact for you. Methylene Blue kills a large range of viruses, bacteria and fungi that is probably only matched by Lugol's Iodine and Colloidal Silver -- and no microbial can adjust to those remedies. And, of course, pre-WW2 medicine used all three of those medicines to good effect.

I don't understand the reasoning behind the 60mcg beliefs
Fungal Infections
★★★★★
Deirdre, you might want to get Ted's opinion and post it. I just read Ted's methylene blue for Parkinson's disease. What really caught my attention was that methylene blue is sold in aquarium shops to kill fungus in the fish. DING!!!!
The question pops up: Is Parkinson's disease a fungal infection of the brain?
Something else that pop's up is the Italian method of treating cancer patients with baking soda to kill the fungi and the cancer goes away on its own!!!
It would seem that if methylene blue kills fungi in fish, it should also kill fungal infections in most, if not all living creatures, so maybe this should be posted on cancer pages. As I recall the interview with the Italian doctor shown on Dr. Mercola's site, the Italians believe that all cancers are preceded by a fungus. If this is true and methylene blue kills fungal infections, doesn't it follow that maybe all cancer treatment should begin with a substance that wipes out fungi?
Of course common sense tells you to also change the eating habits that caused you to have the fungus problem
I used methylene blue to kill fungus infections anyway. A fungus damages sensitive organs, in particular, the brain, thymus, adrenal, pancreas, spleen, thyroid, are some of the things I noticed. A fungus is killed by sodium bicarbonate because of its alkalinity, but more effectively so with potassium, magnesium, for example because it kills alkalinity intracellularly as opposed to extracellularly. This is known for ages and the doctor you have mentioned to me was Dr. Simoncini. However, I have went further to look at fungicides besides methylene blue which are more effective, such as azoxystrobin, afloxystrobin and related strobilurins. Those are much more effective at much lower dose. The depth in which baking soda is limited to extracellular fluids, but are limited in bone cancer and bone marrow where baking soda is neutralized before reaching these areas, hence the necessity to use antifungals methylene blue being one of that. The issue is not well explained at other websites WHY fungus causes cancer, but the cause is not fungus in itself, it's the toxins generated by the fungus, such as mycotoxin and aflaxtoxins are the well known cancer causing substance from fungus and perhaps mycobacterium. Hence, the toxicity of mycotoxins and aflatoxins may be reduced with the BHT, but to eliminate them effectively, a potassium should be added along with baking soda. The only issue is baking soda is not so effective because of its limited alkaline buffering capacity if we compared against the carbicarb plus potassium which goes much more deeper. The Carbicarb is a sodium carbonate plus potassium citrate (e.g. technical name is tripotassium citrate). In fact two major sodium that are more effective is the sodium citrate (e.g. trisodium citrate) and potassium citrate (e.g. tripotassium citrate) and sodium carbonate with equal mix of sodium bicarbonate (commonly called carbicarb). However the current carbicarb remedy in practice isn't that perfect and may cause some kidney pain because of sodium potassium imbalance, and hence, a potassium must be added to the carbicarb remedy to resolve this problem and larger dose can be taken.
It must be noted still that I have noted two kinds of cancer, the fast cancer and the slow cancer. The faster cancer are the metastatic cancer, which are viral in character while the slower cancer are the fungal type cancer which tends to cause bone pain and leads to osteoporosis. Still I haven't even cover how you can eliminate the tumors and this is dealt most effectively with a bloodroot tincture.
I hope this explains just a small portion of my approach to dealing with cancer.
