What if one of the greatest medical breakthroughs started not in a lab, but in a fabric dye factory? In this episode of Healing Beyond Diagnosis, Dr. Jason West unpacks the incredible story of methylene blue—the vivid dye that became the first synthetic medicine, fought malaria, saved lives in rare blood disorders, and now shows promise for brain health and energy at the cellular level.
You’ll learn how this humble molecule supports mitochondria, why researchers are studying it for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, and how Dr. West uses it in clinic to help patients battling fatigue and brain fog. You’ll also hear the real risks, including dangerous drug interactions and genetic contraindications, and why methylene blue is not a DIY experiment.
This is a story about rediscovering old tools, blending history with modern science, and asking the powerful question: what if your diagnosis isn’t the end of your story?
