DR. MERCOLA
About this episode

Story at-a-glance

  • Methylene blue has been shown to shrink tumors and slow cancer growth by targeting cancer cell metabolism and energy production
  • Photodynamic therapy with methylene blue uses light activation to destroy cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed, making it a more precise treatment option
  • Research on ovarian cancer found that methylene blue forces tumors to shift away from their preferred energy source, making them more vulnerable to treatment
  • Unlike chemotherapy, methylene blue treatment does not cause significant side effects or toxicity, making it a promising option for patients with drug-resistant cancers
  • Proper dosing is important. Just 5 milligrams of pharmaceutical-grade methylene blue per day is enough to reduce cellular stress and support mitochondrial health
