Just curious if anyone is trying this to cover all three infections.

Thanks for the help.

Keep in mind that Methylene Blue is a fairly potent MAO-Inhibitor (and is used in some cases as an antidepressant drug). The MAO-Inhibitors can react badly with certain foods (aged meat, cheeses, fermented foods), and with certain other drugs. The reaction can be as bad as what's called "hypertensive crisis," which can be dangerous.

Opinions seem to be mixed regarding the safety of using both at the same time. I don't know anything about methylene blue myself but I think the prudent thing is to use DSF as a monotherapy if you are a Lyme patient. While there is a long history of DSF use for alcoholics, Lyme patients are clearly more sensitive to the drug (for whatever reason), and mixing in another experimental treatment could be trouble.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I agree with you Potsnpans. Figured I’d ask in case people have been trying it without any problem doing both. Don’t feel comfortable doing it if it hasn’t been explored much though.

The risk of hypertensive crisis with MAOIs is negligible, tyramine is not commonly found in most foods these days unless they are fermented.

Someone in the Disulfiram Facebook group posted about their progress with this on Jan 9, titled "Disulfiram and Methylene Blue gave me back my humanity."

Careful with methylene blue if you're on antidepressants.

Those taking mythalene blue where you able to find it at your local CVS?

I’m doing DSF (375 mg), doxy, azithro and cholestyramine.

Exhausted all the time but a month left on DSF. I can see the finish line.

Wish you all good luck.

MB is compounded by hand, so not carried at mainstream pharmacies. A few I've had quotes from:
San Jose, CA compounding pharmacy
Boston Hopington drug compounding
FL infuservamerica .com has best prices.
Apparently I paid too much and need to join a FB group

I have avoided antidepressants because they've never agreed with me, fortunately I am not on them. Phew. Thanks for looking out for me though!

The success story on the facebook page has given me hope - I just read it. I don't want to be bedridden with seizures and headaches and all sorts any more this life is miserable and some risks are worth taking. I can't be done with waiting another year or so until I get compensation for all the crap that I went through either...

Methylene blue is dirt cheap heck in fact self treatment is incredibly cheap for the most part. Just got to take the right precautions.

Wish me luck lol. 😂

what was the inexpensive source of the methylene blue you found - I visited the Facebook groups a few weeks ago and found that there was heavy metal content above what would generally be deemed acceptable for human use when the cheap source ( APC i think? ) was tested independently.

the lack of a pharma-grade source seems to be the limiting factor for more people to try this.

has a new source materialized or have you elected to use the APC (several others seem to have done so)?
