YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMethylene blue was first synthesized in the 1870's and has been used continuously since then as a dye in the textile and paper industries. 19th century biologists realized it was a useful stain for microscope slides, which led to investigations as an antibiotic. For decades the dye served a major role in combating malaria and tuberculosis, and is still used in fish tanks to counter the bacterial infection "ick".
While there are plausible reasons that methylene blue might help with ADHD and other mental health conditions, no formal research has looked at its role in treating ADHD. A few twenty-year old studies indicate the dye can provide some benefit in bipolar disorder, and at least one dosage (but not a higher or lower dose) seemed to help individuals with Alzheimer's.
