I am pinning the critical comment of Dr Robert Yoho, as I consider him both a teacher and mentor, so I take the critique seriously.

I personally don't think Agent is a psyop, but I'm open to eating humble pie if I reach a different conclusion.

It was his work that helped me finally come to terms with geoengineering. I was able to verify all the claims he made on that subject.

His approach is different, angry and unorthodox, but I'm happy to judge it on its individual merits. I know his position on Vit D3 (hurts my brain to think about it), I don't know his position on IVM, and regardless I consider that separate to his MB work.

He is highly suspicious of Big Supplement and wouldn't be the first person to reach that conclusion. It's largely an unregulated space, with large amounts of money. I have no doubt that it houses its own collection of untruths. I'm not claiming that MB is one of those lies, but I think his points on the matter are worthy of consideration and discussion.

If anyone has very specific critiques of the specific points he is making about MB, I would love to hear them, but the claim that he is wrong about A doesn't mean he is wrong about B.

His primary argument is the same argument that we have been making about aluminum adjuvants in vaccines. It is toxic and any amount is not good. That is the essence of his argument here with MB. I'm not saying it's a winning argument that trumps all else, but it is a legitimate point to be considered.

That being said, a reader (thanks Tony) emailed me privately with the following valuable point that is worth sharing:

Methylene Blue paradox not a paradox at all.

It's called the Therapeutic Index - the ratio of the therapeutic dose of a drug to a fatal dose. Pretty much all drugs are poisons. Cannabis is a rare exception, there is no known fatal dose. If you are going to refuse to take a drug because it's also a poison, then you'd have to stop taking therapeutic drugs entirely. It's like saying you can't possibly use a knife in the kitchen because they kill people. It's all in how you approach the tool.

I was hesitant to publish the article but I'm now glad I did, as I think all this back and forth is valuable for everyone. It helps us all improve our thinking skills on a subject (supplements) that can easily become a "holy cow".

The problem with MB is the industrial contaminants. It needs to be third party tested.

BTW, I grew up with it. It's been widely used in Europe.

Having used acupuncture and chinese herbal medicne for the better of two decades now i know there are some strange things that can help people. In one of my many conversations with my practitioner, he pointed out that cinnabar (mercury) was a chinese herbal remedy but only used for very specific and dangerous illnesses.

Cinnabar, as is the carved red Asian beads? You're saying these are actually mercury, or they contain it?

Please expound.

Thanks ever so much.

AI is good at summarizing so I'll copy it directly:

------

Cinnabar is a vibrant red mineral composed of mercury sulfide (HgS) that has been prized for its striking color and various uses throughout history. Here are the key aspects of cinnabar:

------

Historical and Modern Uses

Cinnabar has been utilized for various purposes throughout history:

Pigment: Known as vermilion or Chinese red, it was widely used as a vibrant red pigment in paints and lacquerware.

Mercury production: It is the primary ore of mercury, which is extracted by crushing and roasting the mineral.

Traditional medicine: Used in some cultures, though this practice has declined due to toxicity concerns.

Cosmetics: Historically used as a rouge-type cosmetic in various parts of the world.

Decorative purposes: Carved into jewelry and ornaments, and used in Chinese lacquerware.

I think he’s on the money with synthetic vitamins, he’s just missing the mark with ivermectin and methylene blue. Synthetic vitamin D is definitely more harmful than good. Real food gangstas on IG have a lot of great info and science on it. So does the Root Cause Protocol. It causes potassium loss and calcium buildup. They say vitamin d deficiency is actually magnesium deficiency. The only good source I’ve found for Vitamin D is cod liver oil from a few select sources. I myself have been injured by supplements.. I developed b6 toxicity which causes severe neurological damage. I had absolutely no clue this was even possible bc they say b vitamins are water soluble. Well, not b6. And it takes years for the nerve damage to heal. Many people with long covid, actually have b6 toxicity, because they are pumping supplements and energy drinks full.

"Agent131711" is certainly a psyop working against our interests. Later on in his post, he puts a clip in about the toxicity of ivermectin. The narrator's tones are dramatic and frightening. Anyone conscious over the past 3 years knows that ivermectin toxicity is unheard of and that billions (yes) of doses have been given worldwide with negligible rumors about any toxicity. It is the true standard of care for Covid/long hauler's/viral illness/ etc. I recommend you immediately send out a disclaimer that the "Agent" source is bogus and that you retract it. Thomas Levy is the most credible reference. Here is my post; thanks for referencing it. https://robertyoho.substack.com/p/292-methylene-blue-mb-for-memory We don't know everything about MB but we sure have a lot of people who have responded to it.

No - we need to hear all perspectives. Don't try to silence anyone. That is just building an echo chamber. You never know what other things Ivermectin is causing that the medical profession isn't even looking at. One has to ask though - putting toxins into one's body - is that a good thing? Does it have impacts down-the-road (like fluoride for example)?

I have had some concerns with Agent131711's nutrient posts and have shared some of my thoughts in the substack links below. I am not a fan of scare tactics because that is precisely what mainstream news and medicine have done since 2020, and I do not want to be a part of that. I tried to communicate with him to discuss it but to no avail. He presents only one side of the story. For instance, are cheap supplements in poorly absorbed forms a waste of money? Yes. But do some people need quality supplements such as vitamin D. Yes, again.

I also have a upcoming post in which I compare Dr. Levy's ,Chris Kresser's and Ray Peat's view on calcium supplementation. Dr. Levy does not think we should consume dairy but does not give cited data to support his reasoning.

I definitely agree. I was thinking the same thing that Agent131711 is a controlled opposition shill. He talks negatively about most vitamins too. What he doesn’t do is compare synthetic substances with natural or pharmaceutical grade compounds. I’m actually going to unsubscribe from his Substack now.

I have posted some counterarguments to Agent131711 substacks and tried to communicate with him, but I have not received a response. That was my entire issue with his posts- he used fear tactics and only talked about synthetic supplements, whereas there are many quality supplements. Also, some people need supplements; some do not. This will always be dependent upon the individual.

I use IVM to deworm my cat - and myself since we share the same space. With cats, a typical human dose of .3 mg/kg can be too much, and could cause a life threatening emergency. I give him half of that amount by cracking a 3 mg pill in half and giving him half, which is correct for his weight.

I have been reading a lot about Chlorine Dioxide (CD) to the extent that I purchased it’s two ingredients from Germany (I live in the U.K.) although I haven’t yet gone through the process of making CDS (the solution). In truth I am a little scared of it, and need to do more research - it’s all a bit confusing, especially dosage. I am a 62 year old woman, very healthy, I eat low carb on the whole and keep my weight around 150 pounds, not skinny, not fat…I do have arthritis in my hands (my right index finger bends towards my middle finger). My father’s hands were the same. I am also constantly a bit ‘snotty’ (I eat a lot of dairy products, including heavy cream). I sleep badly quite often, waking several times in the night, often to pee, and sometimes I get restless legs - I take magnesium supplements, even spray magnesium oil on my legs in the vain hope the restlessness won’t keep me awake. Restless legs sounds a bit trivial, but when it’s bad it’s horrible and disturbing. Of course I never took any of the toxic jabs, and haven’t had any vaccine since the ‘polio’ sugar cube when I was fifteen. Never ever wore a mask, either, easy not to in the U.K., although most of my countrymen wore the filthy things inside and out, there is no cure for stupidity, alas.

Anyways, it seems to me that CDS does everything that methylene blue does and more, without the risk of the dye. So…more research needed in my life, although I do have high hopes for CDS….

I will copy this blog post onto Substack but I want to do a few updates on it first. I will also be teaching an online course on how to make chlorine dioxide, how to make silica water, also zeolite, photobiomodulation patches, etc. I will be launching March 4th and will do weekly zoom calls. Follow me for updates.

It was 2 years ago tomorrow the first day I made a batch! I just looked it up and I had a lot of symptoms from shedders (I was not vaxxed) prior to starting on the chlorine dioxide: brain fog, dizziness, tinnitus, feeling hungover, clumsy, bad fatigue, needing daily naps, post nasal drip, pain in hand, arms and shoulders, high blood pressure (which I never had in my life prior to 2021 / vax rollout), trouble going up and down stairs, heavy bruising.

All the symptoms went away within days on CDS.

They are listed in my recipe (the Andreas Kalcker method): https://www.annmariemichaels.com/how-to-make-pool-water/

Oh OK I just looked it up.

1 ml = 20 drops. So 3 ml would equal 60 drops. In a liter of water.

I don't know how many drops are in a dropper. OK I just looked that up and it said the standard pipette holds 1 ml or 20 drops.

So it sounds like you are taking the same amount?

CD is helpful but powerful. I only use it every month or so as sometimes I get pain in my back that is not relieved by my regular anti inflammatory which I will give info on after I tell you about the CD method I use:

I mix 6-8 drops with a 5% HCL acid activator then add distilled water and take every hour for 4 hours before bed time.

If you are just starting out, I would recommend lowering the dose to 1- 3 drops per hour because If you are highly toxic your body will respond with diarrhea and nausea- This is a herxheimer reaction where the body purges toxins very quickly and it’s uncomfortable, but a signal that the medicine is detoxifying your system. This is why small doses should be used initially then increased slowly.

A gentler option I like to recommend is Gum Spirits of Turpentine the distilled gum resin of the Turpentine tree. This is my daily anti inflammatory anti cancer antifungal antiparasitic ….it has so many benefits…it cured my joint pain, long covid symptoms reduced my Morgellons symptoms to negligible and relieved brainfog and so many other issues. I also alkalize my body with simple salts Here is the research on its active ingredients of gum spirits followed by dosage charts. For Alkalizing, iodine supplementation and gum spirits dosages

According to Dr.Ana CDS does not dissolve hydrogel clots but would still not be without it.Been taking meth blue for a couple months,no issues but take some probiotics also.You have a good list there.Tony P has a youtube channel called herbs and beadworks,made a video on turpentine.Have some but have not tried it.I have honey with coffee every morning,always make at least one cup with baking soda.The CDS is a great electron donor.You can get boron from mule team and boron works for arthritis.Have also taken pill form from Hakala labs but don't really trust them so that was yrs ago.Also Red pine needle oil is stated to dissolve plastic so take that 3-4 times a week with fulvic acid in grape juice.

Sorry - I don’t understand - you wrote ‘mix 6-8 drops with a 5% HCL acid activator then add distilled water and take every hour for 4 hours before bed time.’ How many drops of the activator and how much distilled water? I am currently drinking 10ml of CDS mixed with one litre of water each day since Sunday - this is my 3rd day and I haven’t seen any improvement much or any change (no vomiting, slightly looser bowel)….perhaps I am impatient…I follow Dr Andreas Kalcker’s kilner jar method for making CDS from HCL activator and NaClo2 5ml of each in a shot glass lowered into water in the kilner jar to just below the rim of the glass….I am sure you know the method…I have heard that CDS is better for people over 60, such as my husband and me.

Expand full comment

I would start small. Try 3 at fist and increase as you tolerate

Expand full comment

It’s always the same number of drops of the activator as CD. *****The CD will lose potency after an hour that’s why you have to mix one dose at a time. That is the annoying part. After the first hour your CDS will denature so the liter of water becomes just water

So start with 3-5 drops CD match the same #of drops of activator in a DRY cup. Wait 30 seconds until the color change then add a few ounces of distilled water. Drink mixture then follow up with 8+oz of plain distilled water. Repeat this every hour until you feel some relief

Also make sure the cup is plastic or glass. CD is a chelator and reacts with metals

Make sure you’re not taking any b6, (or anything with it hidden) it can cause b6 toxicity which causes peripheral nerve damage, like restless legs and insomnia( plus many more). Australia has started to label their supplements as such, but not here in the USA. Unfortunately, I’m recovering and it’s horrible. Many doctors are unaware but thankfully I found one who diagnosed me and it led me to understand all the symptoms I was experiencing.

Thank you for this is information! My magnesium supplement has added B6! Good lord - just when you think you are doing the right things…the very stuff I was taking for my restless legs is causing it! Off to order a better magnesium supplement….

There is a great group called understanding b6 toxicity on Facebook, they also have a website. Once you stop taking the b6, you can get a decrease in symptoms, followed by an increase. I’m confident that’s what’s causing it for you. The good news is it’ll heal! The bad news is nerves heal very slowly. It’s so undiagnosed bc so many doctors are unaware it can even happen. I’m so glad I mentioned it!

Thank you again. My restless legs symptoms are intermittent - not every night, and only when I am very tired and can’t sleep. My father had the same - he didn’t take b6! Anyways, magnesium without b6 has been ordered today from Amazon - very much more expensive than the supermarket b6 variety…that’ll teach me to be so miserly….

Ahh, yeah.. many people do have restless legs alone. But glad you found one with out b6. I swear they are adding it to everything purposefully. I’ve dealt with the restless leg feeling when I can’t sleep at times too, so I know how frustrating it can be. I’m so glad it doesn’t bother you too often! Do you do use Epsom salt baths? Or topical magnesium spray? That seems to help too and can be better absorbed at times.

Another way of looking at MB is through light. Like a green plant, that plant absorbs anything but the color green.

In a blue-lit toxic world of EMF, when we eat blue foods, we are less likely to absorb more blue light. Our melanopsin photoreceptors which regulate hormones and blue light are...blue!

Unbekoming has developed a method of compiling materials in a unique way. What we get is a systematic overview of the subject, with key issues and a number of questions to ponder about. Each article in this format is a superb departure point for own research. I love it. But there is more. Being a writer myself, I can appreciate the effort made to provide a framework for the article - the reader feels as in a museum tour, led from exhibition to exhibition, and additionally building up knowledge with each new step.

Folks, this is a mastery of the writing trade which you won’t even notice - which is only the proof of Unbekoming’s great contribution to our common knowledge. This approach takes a lot of time and requires unique skills, and the authors like this one are extremely rare. If I may, I do recommend every reader to make a paid subscription with Unbekoming, as it will help him to bring more and more interesting subjects to us in a reader-friendly format. I did, and I have to admit that his substack is the only one for which I have paid. Unbekoming consistently provides informative resource-quality texts, which is what you would normally expect when you want to expand your knowledge of this reality we are in. [Disclaimer: this is an honest opinion, no strings attached.]

Thanks for writing this article and thank you for linking to the article by Agent131711. I read your article, read his article, and then did my own research.

My conclusion.... the history of Methylene Blue is HIGHLY SUSPECT. It was made from coal tar dyes. Highly toxic!

Also very suspicious that while things like Ivermectin, Fenbendazole, and Hydroxychloroquine and Chlorine Dioxide have been suppressed, Methylene Blue is being touted everywhere. Books still on Amazon, videos still up on YouTube. My interpretation: MB must not be a threat to Big Pharma.

Yes, MB may work to do SOME THINGS but we can do the same things with chlorine dioxide and antiparasitics. There is no need to take a toxic coal tar based drug like MB.

I will be writing an article about this and I will tag you guys.

Agent’s article made me decide to throw out my pharmaceutical grade MB. I had only used it maybe five or six times. But the taste struck me as so very odd, and I’m very used to bitter things, I just sensed my body was telling me it’s not right.

People, look into Chlorine Dioxide, or MMS Drops. That solves most of your health problems. Add fresh air, lots of sun (Or Vit D pills), moderate fat-burning excercise, detox (coffee enema, sweat etc.) and fast, eat natural whole food, lots of healthy fats, cut out processed carbs as much as you can, sort out your stress and emotional hang-ups and you are good to go without desease and doctors or supplements for the next 50 years.

In the end every medicine can be toxic at too high of a dose and may be less effective for some than others. We should not be competing and insisting our treatment is superior to all others. Instead we should celebrate the fact that there are a number of options.

I again point to homeopathy as being very safe and effective. No need to ingest possible toxins in material doses. By diluting and succussing/(potentizing) the poison, you remove its toxicity and increase its therapeutic abilities.

I tried methylene blue as part of cancer treatment. After only three days of a low dose (0.4 mg/day), I found myself depressed and thinking nonstop of suicide. I've never had these problems off MB. I discontinued the MB and the symptoms were gone in a day.

Is methylene blue a vasodilator?

Methylene blue is a selective inhibitor of guanylate cyclase, a second messenger involved in nitric oxide-mediated vasodilation. By inhibiting guanylate cyclase, methylene blue may minimize the effects of nitric oxide and subsequent vasodilatation.

Yes, it will raise blood pressure. That is another precaution in addition to SSRI use.

This is what I love so much about reading your stuff. You aren't afraid to take on both sides. I read Agents article and I have to admit, he's made me very nervous recently about supplements. I do believe there are people that want us sick and it's hard to know if he's one of them or if everyone else is wrong. I think you really need to trust your gut and do what feels best for you individually. I was taking methylene blue and thought I was having side effects because I had stomach cramping and pain. Of course I had just read Dr Mercola, who stated that methylene blue disrupts the microbiome so I was convinced that was what was happening. I am no longer convinced as I discontinued using MB and the stomach issues continued. I'm starting to think it has more to do with too much magnesium.

Currently, my mother has bladder cancer and cannot get the recommended treatment which is BCG so I am going to get her started on methylene blue. I'm hopeful that this will help along with vitamin C infusions and the fenbendazole she's been taking.

On another note, it was recently debunked by a molecular biologist who studies methylene blue that it can cause serotonin syndrome if you are taking it with SSRIs. Here is the link to his discussion. https://rumble.com/v11f5hb-the-surprising-health-benefits-of-methylene-blue-interview-with-francisco-g.html. He also states that it's best consumed mixed with buffered sodium is sorbate as it can skip a process where it becomes more bioavailable.

My husband and I use muscle testing, kinesiology, whenever we take supplements. We did this with methylene blue and thus took the small amounts it indicated in water for a short period of time.
