The findings of this study indicate that physical activity directly adds to total energy expenditure, without evidence of constraint or compensation, in humans.






I stopped taking Methylene Blue because it did much more damage than good. I took the bait, and it left me significantly worse off in every aspect of my life. Since I previously posted my (initially) positive experience with it, and people were reaching out asking if it's something they should take, I feel obligated to publicly share what happened and why I stopped Some background: In 2023, after a decade of dealing with chronic disease, I undertook a holistic lifestyle overhaul and was able to experience a full level of health again. I believe I was cured, was feeling consistently healthy, and decided to go back to working at a job that allowed me to maintain my healthy routines in March of 2024. I began taking methylene blue at this time, after seeing positive reviews and seemingly great science from sellers. I started with a few drops per day, cycling every few weeks. Overtime, I gradually migrated to taking 5-10 drops daily, with cycling. Sometimes I felt a bit weird taking it (things like headaches, heart palpitations, anxiety, hyperactivity etc), but brushed it off, especially if I paired it with something like coffee that can have similar effects. It wasn’t anything major initially. These symptoms gradually grew to be more prominent overtime. I believe the methylene blue was accumulating and causing damage to my system, regardless of cycling. What I experienced later was much worse Summer of 2025, after taking methylene blue for over 1 year with cycling, these symptoms grew significantly, and my overall functioning started to decline. I did not think it was the methylene blue, so I didn’t stop taking it. I began experiencing moderate insomnia, stomach issues, hyperactivity, and muscle weakness. I thought I was having a Lyme/Co-infection flare up, which I haven’t had in 2+ years. I was confused, because I truly believed I had healed myself, my immune system, and was maximizing natural detoxification methods. I started fishing around for what I could do for this "flare up," and methylene blue came up as a treatment for Lyme infections. The advertised science seemed fine - so, I started taking MUCH higher doses of it - amounts corresponding to what doctors claim they were giving their patients who saw positive results. I did this for 2 months. Throughout this time, I thought I was experiencing some cycle of herxxing effects, chopped it up to “proof” it’s fighting bacteria, so I kept taking higher doses and feeling more energy as a result. I felt great at first, like a honeymoon period, but ultimately it acted like a positive feedback loop -> feel bad, take more, feel better temporarily. All the while methylene blue was diminishing my body's ability to heal itself, because things became much worse. After these 2 months, my issues suddenly began compounding very quickly, and within a few weeks my life turned into what I could only describe as a literal “hell on earth". My body felt like it was going hay-wire, completely off the rails. My physical symptoms included fever/chills, neuropathy, shakiness, light sensitivity, nausea/vomiting, floaters, general joint stiffness, muscle twitches and soreness, general weakness, tinnitus, migraines, weight gain. The mental symptoms included erratic behavior, irritability, my brain feeling “numb”, extreme paranoia, extreme anxiety, seeing shadows and stars in my vision, and I would go as far as saying I was experiencing a state of psychosis. Things got so bad, I stopped working. I stopped going to the gym. I stopped cooking my own meals. I was rambling about irrelevant things. My family started voicing concerns about my state of health. I became withdrawn and not myself. My decision-making capability was VERY impaired - I made uncharacteristically poor, longterm financial and relationship decisions during this time that have significantly altered the trajectory of my life for the foreseeable future. I moved out of my house. I thought my friends and neighbors were conspiring against me. I would say odd or irrelevant things during conversations. I legitimately felt like I was losing my mind, my entire self. I could not even imagine what I would do if I was a mother who had to take care of her children during this time. Knowing there are kids taking this stuff whose brains aren’t fully developed is heartbreaking. When I realized this drug was not actually healing me, I began the process of easing off of it. I found that tapering down from methylene blue, especially from higher doses, was incredibly difficult - like a chemical-dependancy level of difficulty. The impulsive, irritable, and excitable behaviors I was exhibiting by using MB was a very similar experience to that of taking highly dosed prescription amphetamines. After my experience, I do not believe that methylene blue should be taken as a means of healing the body, or really in any capacity The best way I can describe methylene blue is that it acts as a bandaid that makes the body FEEL better, while simultaneously decreasing the body's ability to heal itself To learn more about the science, @NutriDetect @hubermanlab @paulsaladinomd all have good YouTube videos on it and @yungkingmito has a lot of info on his page. Thank you to @yoursimmo and others for encouraging me to share my story - lots of love to you all
