The story of a miracle drug methylene blue
The story goes that Magic blue is a life-extending supplement and that it would also be inexpensive. It would outside that it is a life-extending drug and would also provide, among other things, a functioning memory and a better mood. It’s almost too good to be true, and who wouldn’t want that. But it seems to be possible with methylene blue if the stories are to be believed.
What makes magic blue special is that it acts at the cellular level. People have been searching for centuries for the drug that has a strong positive influence on the power plants of our cells, the mitochondria. The idea is that if one keeps power plants at a sufficient level and feeds them with regenerating substances then it is possible to regenerate your cells and thus eventually rejuvenate them.
