Right now I dilute it to 0.1% and take two drops in the morning and two drops in the evening. That dosage is derived from a study done by researchers at Children's Hospital & Research Center Oakland. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/08/080818101335.htm And from other sources. A company is trying to patent methylene blue as an Alzheimer's drug and their testing uses much larger doses, 65 mg three times daily. http://pipeline.corante.com/archives/2008/07/31/rember_for_alzheimers_me thylene_blues_comeback.php I don't know of anyone trying to treat Alzheimer's with the lower dosage but it may work and should at least act as a preventative. If you read the comments to the Rember link I provided, commenter 44 says: "44. <http://pipeline.corante.com/archives/2008/07/31/rember_for_alzheimers_m ethylene_blues_comeback.php#365364> jtwiz7 <http://jtw...@peoplepc.com/> on August 31, 2008 7:40 AM writes...
After Dorothy and Denise's comments, I discussed it with wife and after ten days,there's a new person in our house." I am corresponding with him currently. His wife has Alzheimer's and the MB is helping her greatly. She was using 150 mg twice a day and has changed to 65 mg thrice daily. There are two leading candidates as the cause for Alzenheimer's. One is called the TNF-alpha (amyloid accumulation) and the second is referred to as the tau protein. MB act on the tau protein. Another alternative that acts on the tau protein and shows promise is cinnamon: http://techtransfer.universityofcalifornia.edu/NCD/10309.html You can use either or both. I lean towards using both. >From Patricia's Protocol at: http://www.perpetualcommotion.com/a/Patricias_Protocol.html "Cinnamon <http://www.perpetualcommotion.com/a/Notes.htm#Cinnamon> : 1000mg three times per day, for the first 6 weeks, then twice per day thereafter for maintenance. Cinnamon in capsules form prevents the degradation of the cinnamon by saliva. If the person can't swallow capsules, it may be possible to substitute 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon in food for the 1000mg capsules. However, degradation of the cinnamon by saliva may make this method less effective. 1/2 cup of "cinnamon tea <http://www.perpetualcommotion.com/a/Cinnamon_Tea.html> " two or three times per day could also be considered.Target: Inhibition of tau protein aggregations, disassemble aggregations that have already formed; improve glucose metabolism; lower blood cholesterol levels. May also inhibit H.pylori <http://www.perpetualcommotion.com/a/Notes.htm#Helicobacter_pylori> infection." To attack amyloid accumulation, you can take curcumin: http://www.jbc.org/content/280/7/5892.full Bioavailability is a problem with curcumin but there are some products out there that give improved bioavailability. I realize this is a little sketchy but it is a work in progress right now. While I am interested in prevention personally, I am also looking towards reversing age related memory loss for my 90 year old mother. - Steve N ________________________________ From: john freese [mailto:jrf...@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2009 12:35 AM To: silver-list@eskimo.com Subject: CS>OT Alzhiemers Hello, Steve N Back on August 28, 2009 you wrote (You may also find it beneficial to use a low dose of methylene blue daily. Studies have shown it to be effective for memory improvrment and one product, Rember, claims a study shows that it reverses Alzheimer's. I am currently using it. Methylene blue is very inexpensive and you can buy it at aquarium supply places and dilute it yourself. Some studies below. ) Could you please tell us how much your taking and what dilution you are using? Thank you in advance. John.
