Tooth Abscess

Treating Dangerous Tooth Abscess with Methylene Blue
A chipped tooth with a lose filling, not treated resulted in a serious abscess and excessive (scary) swelling in my face.
Visited the dentist who prescribed 500mg Amoxicillin 6x/day for 10 days. Frequent salt water/sodium bicarbonate rinses/brushes were in place and continue The antibiotic had zero effect on the swollen site and after 2 1/2 days, I went to urgent care where I was prescribed Amoxicillin 875 with CLAV…time released every 12 hours. Because the antibiotic was not able to reach the site due to swelling and poor circulation to the gums, I was advised to apply heat therapy 5 minutes at a time to encourage blood flow to the site. I also massaged the area. 2 days later, the jaw was still swollen.
I was told to go to the ER if fever, throat tightening or lymph swelling occur. None of these things occurred, so I did not go to the ER.
My dentist and most medical offices were closed for an extended holiday. In an attempt to stay out of the ER and keep the infection from spreading to bone, brain, lymph…blood
With a very clean mouth, I began using DMSO with H202 and DMSO with silver alternately…2x/day at the site, inside my mouth. I also rinsed mouth with salt water/sodium bicarbonate and took silver here and there. There was a slight reduction in the swelling.
After 5 days of taking antibiotic with infection still clearly present…I decided to venture into the world of methylene blue. I had ordered pharmaceutical grade powder some months before (after Mercola interview), and (though VERY new at this) figured out and prepared a 1% solution and ordered ascorbic powder to mix. 
I searched for info on dosing (50-300 range) and found nothing specific to my condition, much less for use with infections.
So I had to guess and took 27 mg total in 2 doses, 12 hours apart. I was still taking the AMOX-CLAV. The idea initially was to assist the absorption of AB, and reap mitochondrial benefits.
In a Brave search, I found that for UTI infections 30mg 2 or 3x/day could be dosed. On day 2 of taking MB, I took 3 doses totaling 67mg/day. I added cayenne pepper to the mix (filled 0 capsules) and took 2x first day. Used cayenne with coconut or castor oil inside of mouth, all with the idea to stimulate blood flow to the area.
All along the way, I consumed 3-5 cloves of garlic in food and chew-juiced slices of ginger in mouth over the course of the 7 days;The time it took for the swelling to reduce to a reasonable level.
On days 3,4 5 I dosed @65,100,90, respectively. Don't ask😅…was uncertain and trying to learn and figure out as I continued to do battle with the scary infection.
MY QUESTION…
Now that the swelling is gone (2 days)…AND the The AMOX-CLAV prescription finished. There is no way that I am out of the woods with the infection. I would like to have an idea as to what a good MB dose would be to keep the infection at bay until my appointment with a dental surgeon…10 days from now, and if there is anything that might assist the healing that I haven't considered. My thought is to continue with the MB…at site DMSO/silver/H2O2, cayenne, sodium bicarbonate and keep taking D3, zinc, boron, magnesium, garlic, ginger, with hot/cold stimulation, natural ferments and brisk daily walking.
Just discovered EarthClinic site in my search for info on MB.
It is SO hard to navigate the censored net these days to find good information. Wow, what a community resource. Those who believe that we are given what we need in the earth to heal and remain healthy are truly blessed.

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.

Hi Lynn,
My neighbor and some of her relatives had trouble with recurring UTIs, and she found a probiotic that is sold on Amazon to stop this in everyone who has tried it. We also had a friend who had the same problem and was very ill, so we gave her several packages that my neighbor had on hand, and she is now completely well, as long as she takes the probiotics. She thinks it is worth the cost to stop getting the UTIs. It might be worth a try.

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?

I peel one grapefruit and one orange, then blend in blender with some filtered water. Then put about 1/4 cup in a glass with a bit more water. I then add 20 drops of .5 % Meth. blue. It does dilute color so that I don't get blue lips, or tongue. I've had serious constipation my whole life. Now I go every day with no other help!

There was some research on using Methylene Blue to treat Hep B. I believe it was 70 mg twice a day. I cannot remember the pharma company that did the research. However they were unable to get a patent on it so dropped the human studies. Only downside was that the Methylene Blue causes blue pee.
Methylene blue was used in WWII in high doses to treat infection. Also look for information on the Blue People of Kentucky. Those people were taking several hundred mg a day for years without harm.

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.

Methylene Blue in a Nebulizer
Posted by steve (NV) on 11/29/2021
Allgood, what do you mean by "you must hold your breath while nebulizing--do not inhale the mb--will hurt your lungs." The whole idea of nebulizing is to breathe the atomized liquid into the lungs. So what's the point of nebulizing methylene blue, if you "must hold your breath" and "do not inhale"? I don't understand.
Contraindication
Posted by Pat (Salem, Oregon) on 01/20/2012
★☆☆☆☆WARNING!
After reading your website, I was excited to try out the methylene blue for my yeast and "brain fog". I followed instructions, taking it with powder vit c and baking soda. I took it only one time because in researching a bit more, I saw where taking Methylene blue with anti depressants can cause serious problems with the serotonin in the brain.
"Although the exact mechanism of this drug interaction is unknown, methylene blue inhibits the action of monoamine oxidase A—an enzyme responsible for breaking down serotonin in the brain. It is believed that when methylene blue is given to patients taking serotonergic psychiatric medications, high levels of serotonin can build up in the brain, causing toxicity. This is referred to as Serotonin Syndrome. " (food and drug administration webpage)
I have been on effexor for 10 years, and although I plan to go off this slowly in the summer, it looks like I will not be able to use the methylene blue as planned.
Was this on your website and I missed it? If not, you might want to add this information. I'm glad I caught it, but very disappointed I cannot benefit from taking the methylene blue. Any other suggestions?
Thank you, Pat

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 :

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.

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).
Cancer
Posted by Kevin (Wilkesboro, Nc) on 08/02/2010
My dad was diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma back in Feb 2007. He has been thru chemo several times and it's to the point now that he just can't stand the strong treatments and they aren't effective now anyway. We have always believed that God put natural methods here to cure cancer etc. And one of his friends told us about Mary Martin Sloop who back in the early to mid 1900's took methylene blue for cancer after the Dr. had cut her open and then sewed her back up because they said they couldn't do anything for her. Mary Martin Sloop went on to live 40 more years after taking the methylene blue. We have no idea how to get it, use it and would it even work for my dad now since he is in pretty bad shape. He is unable to eat basically as he has trouble keeping food down and is really weak. The Dr. gave him no more than a few weeks to live. Can you please let us know quickly if there is anything that would get him well. We don't want to prolong his suffering but we would love to get him back to his active lifestyle of bowling, biking and living for the Lord. Thanks and God bless, Kevin

Tooth Abscess
Posted by Laura (Georgia) on 01/12/2025
I'm sorry I'm just seeing this. I have dealt with many tooth infections, I believe, because I have a cavitation I can't afford to deal with properly. But I would have added 1000mg of vitamin c to bowel tolerance (during active infection as you described I have taken as much as 4000mg/hr for a few hours and never hit bowel tolerance). As an antibiotic I take oil of oregano in capsules. I also placed a capsule of activated charcoal on the sight to try and pull out infection. No idea if it helps but it seems to make it feel better. Those are my main go to along with some other things you described - but not all. My heart goes out to you though because I know it is so very painful. Hope you got everything resolved!

Hello, M2M. I had noted that you were about to try Methylene Blue awhile ago. I now have a dog shelter with just 7 rescues so far, but more will be coming. Would you mind taking the time to tell of any/all experiences with it? Did it sting when applied, at all? I had been contemplating using it on rescue #7, with his deep nasal infection, but maybe I wouldn't have learned of the magnetic pull of Diamotaceous Earth VS Infections (that dog's nose skin peeled back like one of those oyster or anchovy cans of old). I just wanted to know if Methylene Blue would have helped him earlier. I am still kicking myself over this. Anyways, I respect your posts and any/all information would help us.

Chronic Bladder Infections
Posted by Cindy (Illinois, USA) on 06/14/2024 533 posts
I've been reading about recurring infections as I've been looking for a reference I lost track of...apparently, infection can "hide" in areas of heavy metal deposits and regenerate from there. Apparently, heavy metals tend to accumulate in areas that are already compromised, providing unfriendly microbes with shelter from the immune system.
In cases of chronic dehydration - which it is thought that most people are chronically dehydrated to some degree - the body is in a sustained "emergency mode" of water rationing during which some systems are slowly and steadily sacrificed to dehydration to assist the body in getting as much hydration to critical systems as possible.
This would explain why a rehydration scheme has such favorable effects on such a huge variety of different issues and systems. And I reckon a system that is slowly being sacrificed would be a safe place for heavy metals to accumulate. Otherwise, they'd simply be identified and flushed out as "foreign material".

I take MB with ascorbic acid (vit. c), 1% or 2.33% MB and a approx 1/8 tsp vit c powder in h2o. my MB dose is not always the same, as it depends on which dilution I use. if using 1%, then I take approx 20 drops 2x/day (so, 40 drops/day) from the supplied dropper to = 10mg 2x/day (20mg/day) for tinnitus, which it has helped. As an aside, my memory has improved. I was actually taking more MB but it gave me really loose stool so I backed off to this dose, which is fine. We'll see how it goes. I also take a day off from MB every so often.

Contaminated Methylene Blue
Posted by Chickkie (Chelmsford, Ma) on 07/25/2014
I found out the hard way. Methylene blue is sometimes deliberately contaminated with arsenic, possibly to prevent us from benefiting from a safe effective product. The type I bought had a warning label not to be used in food producing fish. I called the store I bought it from, they said it did not have arsenic. This was a lie.
I suffered greatly from severe arsenic poisoning. I wish there was a way to be sure the source was pure, because aside from the arsenic, methylene blue was great stuff.

I am suffering from a bad fungal infection of my sinuses and head-tried verconazole--1100.00 a month--lots of nasty side affects--methylene blue (mb) did the job much better--ingested and nebulized at first then only orally. Started with 1/10th of one drop of 2% mb been working up another drop a day. The day after being sneezed on by a very sick woman, I started feeling poorly with my head feeling worse--I nebulized mb a few times and felt poorly the next day-but am feeling good again now--I think the mb stopped the virus in its tracks--could be the cure for the common cold and other viral infections.
Warning--you must hold your breath while nebulizing--do not inhale the mb--will hurt your lungs--I put a straw in the mouthpiece and block off the unit so all the mist is coming out the straw--you can only do this with the old style neb that works off air pressure. Hope is everything!!!

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.

Hi Josecito, Ted spoke about how to dilute 1% MB into 0. 1% MB. One part of MB in 9 parts of water will dilute 1% MB and make it 0. 1%. So if you want to make 1L of MB 0. 1%, you have to take 100 ml of MB 1% ( one part ) and pour it into 900 ml ( 9 part) distilled water. Another example, if you want to make 500 ml MB 0, 1%, you take 50ml MB 0. 1% and pour into 450 ml of distilled water. There is a lot of ways how to make the volume you want, you have just to follow the right dilution ( 1:9). I hope that can help you.

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?
Tooth Abscess
Posted by Sherri (PNW) on 12/28/2024
Hello Farmer,
Wow, I hope you have cleared your tooth infection.
I had a severe tooth abscess and was scheduled for surgery though was unable to see the dentist for a week. I used the following to help with the pain and swelling though discovered it also cleared the infection:
Clove essential oil rubbed into the gum line around the tooth 6x/day. After 3 days the pain disappeared. Later in the week I also included oregano, cinnamon and peppermint essential oils (today we use: oregano, peppermint and a "thieves" blend - clove, rosemary, cinnamon, lemon or orange and eucalyptus). Many include thyme EO for the high thymol content.
When I saw the dentist there was no evidence of infection! Both of us were surprised.
Today, this is all my husband and I use for tooth infections and it works:
We do a combination of direct applications of essential oils (always clove & oregano) to the infected site along with ozonated oil swishes (ozonated coconut or olive oil with or without essential oils) for 15-20 minutes. Also, we sometimes apply the essential oils externally to the skin over the infected site (diluted to tolerance).
We still do the warm salt (with or without iodine) swishes.
All of these procedures are done 4-6x/day for serious infections.
My holistic dentist told me that oregano essential oil has been shown to even penetrate bone infections in the jaw and said it could treat cavitations. It is a very strong broad spectrum antimicrobial. I had surgery on my cavitations so I have not tried oregano oil on jaw bone infections ... yet.
Clove essential oil is such an effective broad spectrum antimicrobial that it is still used in many dentist products and materials today.
Lots of research using essential oils for dental issues.
Benefits of oregano and clove EOs:
Antibacterial - gram negative and gram positive
Antiviral
Antifungal
Potent Antioxidants
Digestive
Anti-Allergenic
Anti-Parasitic - broad spectrum
Anti-Inflammatory. Insect repellent Anticancer
Clove EO also - analgesic, anesthetic, remineralizes teeth & food preservative
IMPORTANT: must obtain real, non-synthetic, quality/organic essential oils. More synthetics are showing up on the market from China. A good oregano is from the Mediterranean, such as from Greece or Turkey.
I have found that some oregano EO brands were actually cayenne pepper oil sold as oregano oil!
Note: I tend to use a mix of oregano species, both O. vulgare and a mediterranean species (e.g., O. minutiflorum, O. hirtum, O. vulgare Heracleoticum or P73). These are high in carvacrol, over 85%.
Hoping your infections clear up soon,
Sherri

I have done my research on MB. I found 2 methods. I just started taking the liquid Methylene Blue with the Ascorbic Acid in Water. I doing the 6 days on and 7th day off method.
2 Methods
How do I mix the methylene blue solution.
The methylene Blue solution I received from Valboren Labs in Florida is in a concentrated liquid form. This should be mixed with distilled or deionized water using the recommended dosing. Dosages between 0.5 milligram per kilogram of bodyweight to 4 mg per kg. As mentioned, methylene blue is a hormetic, so low dosages have the opposite effect of high dosages. Adding 1/16th teaspoon of Ascorbic Acid to the prepared solution will facilitate better absorption and reduce the blue staining potential. After the Ascorbic Acid is added to the solution let it sit for a minimum of 3 hours before taking. With methylene blue less is more. Higher doses are not as effective a low doses (hormetic response). Dosage recommendation varies; Dr. John Lieurance suggests 0.5-1mg/kg of body weigh, t 2 to 4 days a week, with 20 to 60mg daily being therapeutic for many. Do it slowly 2 or 3 drops to start 3 times a week, and work you way up .
or
Method #2
1-2 drops am in distilled water with 1/16 tsp. of Ascordic acid first 2 days.
Increase dose on third day by 2 drops for 2 days, Continue increasing
dosage by 1 drop every 2 days, until you reach 22 drop or more. Take 6 days
in a row and 7th day off. Note: Do not take Co10 with it.

I read somewhere that an effective dosage is 1-5mg. In order to help with bad rheumatoid arthritis, for a 140lb person, is the correct low dose with a 1% solution about 64 drops? I have been taking only 10 drops before reading this without any noticeable relief so I would like to know if I am just taking to little and need to up it a lot, and if I need to take it as a divided dose or take 64 drops 2 times a day or however more for lasting benefits. I would greatly appreciate knowledgeable feedback so I can know what to do. Thanks

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...

Yes, it is great... BUT... if you do get a UTI in spite of using D-Mannose... I used chlorine dioxide solution (CDS) to cure a nasty UTI in just 2-3 days... nothing else.
Just an FYI! Dr. Kalcker is the expert, if you want to do any research... amazing stuff!

Several posts insist that the correct dose of MTB is 60mcg three times a day. Surely it MUST be 60 mg because they seems to use Uralene Blue tablets at the beginning of the trial and these are 60mg.
I don't understand the reasoning behind the 60mcg beliefs

Robyn, have you tried the "Chemical Injury Information Network", Member supported group of Multiple Chemical Sensitivity? I have suffered many yrs disability with environmental illness, but I somehow do no suffer the severity of symptoms of this group or fibro, so there is a big curve of individuality.
Have you done parasite cleansing? There are both chemical and natural methods but I can't imagine you haven't addressed this already but I suggest it because these buggers cannot be "detoxified" w/ the list of naturals you provided. You may have very little in the way of elimination. Have you done gallbladder and colon cleanses? Don't rule out some type of viral Hepatitis even though you haven't had that diagnosis (like myself). I have responded favorably to the St John'sWort, Lysine, Colloidal Silver only in combination. BHT seems to be helping remarkably but it's only been about 5 days now so I cannot conclude. Detox Foot Pads are quite effective for all kinds of toxins, have you tried them? You can purchase them at wholesale prices on Ebay. Hot Baths with minerals must bring you some relief. I use Baking Soda, Epsom Salt, and micronised agriculture grade multiminerals ---1/4 cup of each and ALWAYS come out the better. And to treat fungal issues add some Borax or Povidone Iodine.
Please update as you appear to need some help from these debilitating "invisible" disease conditions.

I can only find Lugol's online. Usually, I get the 2% and double the number of drops because 5% is harder to come by.
Just realized that I wrote I was taking 9 grams of melatonin. LOL! That would be an overdose for sure. I was taking 9 mgs, and have tapered down to 3 mg. Will continue tapering to 1.5 mg.
At this point, the brain buzzing has become barely noticeable on top of my head. That buzzing sensation in the legs and right side have stopped as well (those are areas that flared up with buzzing and pain once when I took doxycycline -so it's interesting to note) and it appears the other possible side effects - back pain, headaches, weren't related. I do suspect the interaction of melatonin with methylene blue (MB) was part of the buzzing issue. Regular coffee is definitely also an isssue in the buzzing, so my advice is avoid or drink decaf.
MB has not increased my energy levels but I still think it has increased my ability to focus and has perhaps reduced depression and anxiety as well.
I don't know how many miccrograms I'm getting of the MB with each drop at 0.1%. I think it could be 60 mcg. If anyone has a guesstimate, I'd really appreciate an approximation to assist with my research on scientific studies with MB.

Methylene Blue Side Effects
Posted by Lorica ([email protected], In) on 04/14/2011
I started taking methylene blue to help get rid of candida & indeed it is good for that. However, I think it should be used with extreme caution, especially if one has any history of heart problems. My own heart has always tested out as fine, however the first day after taking MB I felt this strange, strong blip in my heart. Then about 5 minutes later I felt it again. Now I had been eating the same foods exactly for weeks due to diet and health issues. Only the MB was a new addition. I did still want to take it and dilluted my dose by half. Since then I have had no problems, only benefits. Be so very careful.

Methylene Blue in a Nebulizer

Regarding using Methyene Blue in a Nebulizer: I briefly had this thought, too, but then I remembered how messy it was, and how much it stained when I just spilled a single drop of the diluted methylene blue (and undiluted it would be even worse). In a nebulizer if some of the vapor got loose it could get all over you and you'd end up looking like the "cookie monster".

Many thanks, Bill, for taking the time to write this up. This is the best explanation I've seen yet on MB.

I'm glad I can take the colorless form so I don't have to worry about stained blue teeth but still get all the benefits. Thanks again for sharing!

I would basically reduce his suffering by restoring energy and nausea. As mentioned I used clove oil and methylene blue. To restore appetite I used b50 and HCl and at least the case I was involved with simply did not want to die. While that case was given a few days to live she is doing fine after 3 years. Yet in another case just last week in similar circumstances she simply don`t want to live so nothing was done because she refused any treatment even though the natural treatment for cancer was a success and hence nothing was done so she died in few days just last week. It was the patient that really have their say and if not conscious it just depend on the family's decision.

Swine Flu
Posted by Ted (Bangkok, Thailand) on 07/22/2009

... I have encountered a person who was dying from swine flu, pretty much the doctors have given up. Tamiflu simply didn't work both as prevention and in advanced cases of the swine flu, or the 2009 Viruses. The only thing that has helped this man in ICU was actually the hourly dose for 24 hour of 1000 mg of lysine. For weeks he was on high fever, and the only thing that can tame his fever was actually the lysine. When he did get better and body temperature became normal, the lysine dose was switched to 2000 mg every two hours, since every hour prevented him having long sleep. Lysine was fed via tube. Ideally the lysine dose can be spaced much further if there is no increase in any fever. Since this man was a confirmed H1N1, where it took a week to found out he did have H1N1, the swine flu ate away about half of his lungs, from excessive mucus, and the man was not able to breathe on his own, and has to be on an artificial respirator. As a result, the excessive mucus was controlled with 4 tablets of chinese herbal supplements ganmaoling tablets, taken every 4 hours so it may again disturb his sleep schedule. Within the first hour, there were clear indications of reduced mucus, and it was this that ate away his lungs. His inability to breathe was placed on artificial respirator, as a result two more supplements needed to restore his normal breathing using methylene blue 0.1% taken at 2 drops one in the morning and two drops one in the evening. Since methylene blue did restore or return his breathing and was taken off the artificial respirator within the week, the methylene blue caused him to sleep less as he now has more energy. Therefore the dose was reduced to one drop in the morning and one drop at 12.00 p.m. Tamiflu was not helpful both as prevention and when people did have it since some were on tamiflu."
...
10. The Swine flu scare is not real.
It is real and the numbers are much larger then what authorities say. However the real scare is to spread it and for people to get vaccinated and then it gets deadly. It eats up the lungs over long term flu. I am as yet trying to fine a cure to restore lungs after they have been eaten away by the flu. What I am currently looking is the lysine, methylene blue and the Ganmaoling chinese herbal preparations.

The way the media in this country ran with the story, it did look like a hoax. And then so few cases were discovered despite the apparently urgent need for vaccines and face masks. And the people who succumbed to it were already ill. It has been said that other types of flu that hit do more damage and receive less media attention. It did look like a hoax, possibly an attempt to force the public to demand the borders be closed. Thank you for the clarification, Ted :)

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%.

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%

Has anyone using Methylene blue (and getting a positive response) been tested for Brucella or Lyme's Disease?
Both diseases are chronic infections that are notably hard to cure, requiring 6 weeks to up to 2 years of strong antibiotics, because these pathogens replicate in cells where the antibiotics can't reach, ensuring fresh crops of pathogens about every two weeks. Also, patients may have initially bad symptoms when first taking the antibiotics because as the pathogen dies, it releases toxins.
When taking MB, or any other medicine, for infection, PLEASE take it long enough and at a high enough dose to completely eradicate the pathogen. Otherwise you may be simply creating another Superbug that neither MB nor antibiotics can cure.

Yes, use both taurine and K2 I've read calcium in the tissues causes pain, ca blocking the arteries causes stiffness but maybe thats not the reason for UNBELIEVABLE pain. Reading all the fibro case studies does nothing to ease my mind.
Please if anyone has got better from fibro tell us about it. If anyone has got better from chemical sensitivity tell us about it. I've now got myself too sick to get away from pollution and other chemicals. And very lonely when you can't go near people. EC it would be good if there was a way to contact people who have posted up their case study. I got some more helpers for my liver; NAC, grapefruit seed extract, milk thistle - had a huge reaction, unbelievable pain, couldn't move for a week. Stopped them and the pain is now down to I can't stand it. So if I'm taking taurine and K2 I don't know if I'm making myself worse or not.... overactive immune system?? or a crapped out liver that reacts to what's sposed to help it.

Had to have 14 teeth pulled due to caps and so many fillings. Went back to check book and pain began shortly after having caps put on teeth.

For fibro...in my mind this is a toxin illness, in that you have toxins you can't get rid of. Someone mentioned wonderful results with pulling teeth (assuming they were amalgams.) Also many people with MCS have ongoing or former fungal exposure (water damaged buildings) which their doctors know nothing about (there is a lot on the web) and some have ongoing fungal infections. I had one friend who got over her MCS (and she also had CIRS, the inflammatory response to the pathogens in water damaged buildlings) after treatment with ampohtericin B for a fungal infection, after she had gotten out of environmental exposure. These "syndrome" things can take a very long time to track down, but take a look at what poisons you might be retaining and how to get rid of them. Many of us have had to live outside for a number of years, to get mold toxins out of our systems. There are now a few doctors who specialize in the people who have the genetic haplotype that cannot get rid of mold toxins. (Illness now called CIRS.)
