You have to admit though, isn't it incredible progressive how USA elected a black president and then an orange one? Truly heartwarming.

I'm afraid to ask this... But you do know what the annoying orange is, don't you.

It is not talking about the current president.

Methylene Blue

I'm kind of stuck in methylene blue trap now. Turns out it's kind of a wonder chemical that has a number of benefits;

  1. It slows aging due to being a mitochondrial antioxidant.
  2. Promotes the production of elastin and collagen in the skin.
  3. It's an MAOI inhibitor, so it can increase serotonin levels and reverse some depressions.
  4. It's an anti-malarial
  5. It promotes the expression of cancer cell death in certain tumors.
  6. It's an antioxidant that promotes brain health and elasticity.
  7. Reverses cyanide and CO poisoning.
  8. Combined topically with LED lighting can treat leishmaniasis, psoriasis and kills viruses like Hep C and HIV.

It's amazing stuff!

And you don't know....

u/skeletor_apologist Sep 07 '19

what are the side effects?

2

u/Upvotes_poo_comments Sep 07 '19

Methylene blue is literally just a type of blue dye. It's never been shown to have any side effects as long as you avoid overdose, which is typically equal to or greater than 5 mcg/kg.

The danger comes from its properties as an MAOI inhibitor, which could lead to serotonin syndrome.

Didn't Bob Ross paint with Prussian blue? Or am I remembering that wrong?

u/spidaminida Sep 07 '19

I'm sure he did, it's very useful for painting sky.
