Mindsip insights from this episode:

Recognize blue brain staining as effective mitochondrial targeting

Seeing a brain stained blue from methylene blue is not a sign of toxicity, but rather evidence that it is successfully reaching the mitochondria-rich brain tissue as intended.

Cycle methylene blue use to maintain mitochondrial function

To prevent potential buildup and a slowing of the mitochondria, it is a good idea to take a couple of days off from methylene blue every 10 to 14 days.

Investigate man-made origins of Lyme disease theory

A controversial theory suggests that modern Lyme disease is not a natural spirochete but a more virulent, man-made biological weapon developed on Plum Island after WWII.

Treat hidden prostate infections with Prostabluezone protocol

Many men may have hidden prostate infections, not just age-related growth, which can be treated with a 'Prostabluezone' protocol involving direct injections of antibiotics, methylene blue, and ozone.

Prevent partner infections by addressing prostate health

Infections like fungus or bacteria in a man's prostate gland can be passed to a female partner during intercourse, potentially causing her to experience recurrent UTIs or yeast infections.

Biohack recovery with stem cells and peptides in hospital setting

After a severe injury, Dr. Lieurance secretly used smuggled-in stem cells, peptides, and methylene blue to reverse his kidney failure and aid recovery in the hospital.

Inhale carbon dioxide to enhance recovery and calm anxiety

Inhaling 3-7% carbon dioxide for a few minutes can induce a calming, anxiolytic effect and trigger a large release of nitric oxide, aiding in recovery.
