#MethyleneBlue is Beneficial for #Slowing #Skeletal #Aging and #Treating #Brain Disorders

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=nlm5BuQXUUw

Story at-a-glance
#Methylene-blue, first synthesized in #1876, evolved from a textile dye to an essential medical compound. It promotes mitochondrial #health by enhancing energy production and reducing oxidative stress.
Recent #research suggests methylene blue is useful in the treatment of traumatic brain injury and conditions like #Alzheimer's disease.
A March #2024 study indicates methylene blue supports #bone health by inhibiting osteoclast differentiation, reducing the risk of age-related bone loss when combined with lifestyle modifications.
Methylene blue offers various other health benefits, including reducing UTI risk, improving #skin health, managing #osteoarthritis and enhancing the effects of niacinamide on metabolic health.
When selecting methylene blue, opt for pharmaceutical-grade (USP) varieties with 99% purity; avoid industrial or chemical-grade options, as they contain harmful contaminants. Recommended dosages are included.

#Why I Take #Methylene_Blue (And Why You Might Want To As Well)

Methylene Blue was an early psychiatric drug, on the basis that it stains nerve tissue (and is used for this purpose in microscopy). Methylene Blue has chemical relationships to some of the later psychiatric agents, and was a starting point for their development. MB led to the investigation of another dye called Summer Blue, which formed the chemical basis for some of the best known antipsychotics, antihistamines, antidepressants, anti-epileptic drugs...

(Many of the major current Big Pharma corporations, started life manufacturing coloured dyes.)

The author of the above is David Healy, and a very reliable and informed psychiatrist he is, IMO (he has been a good friend and mentor of mine, in the past).

The point I would make is that Methylene Blue is indeed an effective and powerful drug, with a pretty wide range of therapeutic effects - but like other effective and powerful drugs, it will have a significant risk of undesirable side effects. People should (I believe) be just as careful taking Methylene Blue, as they would be about taking many of the other strong psychiatric drugs (even the best of them).

With agents that significantly change our bodies and brains; it is always a question of balancing benefits against problems, possible risks versus possible harms.

A quotation from Cicero

A person who lacks the means, within himself, to live a good and happy life will find any period of his existence wearisome. But rely for life’s blessings on your own resources, and you will not take a gloomy view of any of the inevitable consequences of nature’s laws. Everyone hopes to attain an advanced age; yet when it comes they all complain! So foolishly inconsistent and perverse can people be.

[Quibus enim nihil est in ipsis opis ad bene beateque vivendum, eis omnis aetas gravis est; qui autem omnia bona a se ipsi petunt, eis nihil malum potest videri quod naturae necessitas adferat. Quo in genere est in primis senectus, quam ut adipiscantur omnes optant, eandem accusant adeptam; tanta est stultitiae inconstantia atque perversitas.]

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
De Senectute [Cato Maior; On Old Age], ch. 2 / sec. 4 (2.4) [Cato] (44 BC) [tr. Grant (1960, 1971 ed.)]

Something different...

I began by looking for a video clip of a performer I was reminded of by a recent Jethro Tull concert.
It was his falsetto I recalled with 'Tull's' "Mine is the Mountain" (the refrain sung by Ian Anderson).

Meanwhile the Tull vid is drawing all sorts of discussions, Anderson should give it up, what's a Jethro Tull, give them a break, respect the legend, people age, parallels to Robert Plant and others ... OK, so this is for all the old folks still bogeying away, be it on stage for generations of fans, or on the couch or rocking to oldies or tuning into the current decade's music.... This is for those who can and do.

Little Feat: Old Folks' Boogie

Old Folks Boogie

Off our rockers, actin' crazy
With the right medication we won't be lazy
Doin' the old folks boogie
Down on the farm
Wheelchairs, they was locked arm in arm
Paired off pacemakers with matchin' alarms
Gives us jus' one more chance
To spin one more yarn

And you know that you're over the hill
When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill
Doin' the old folks boogie
And boogie we will
'Cause to us the thought's as good as a thrill

Back at the home,
No time is your own,
Facilities there, they're all out on loan
The bank foreclose, and your bankruptcy shows
And your credit creeps to an all-time low

So you know, that you're over the hill
When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill
Try and get a rise from an atrophied muscle,
And the nerves in your thigh just quivers and fizzles
So you know, that you're over the hill
When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill

~~
