Episode 97: Methylene Blue, Ivermectin, Nicotine: Miracle or Misunderstood?

Are methylene blue, THC, CBD, ivermectin, nicotine, colloidal silver, or creatine miracle cures… or dangerous fads? In this episode of Wholistic Living, we dive deep into some of the most controversial and misunderstood compounds in health and biohacking. Discover how these molecules can boost energy, cognition, immunity, and mitochondrial function — but also how the wrong dosage or misuse can cause serious harm. We cover:

• Methylene Blue – Enhance mitochondrial function, memory, and brain energy safely
• Ivermectin – Antiparasitic and immune support: time, place, and controversy
• THC & CBD – Pain relief, mood regulation, and cognitive effects (plus adrenal and hormone impacts)
• Nicotine – Cognitive enhancer, focus booster, and addiction caution
• Creatine – Muscle, brain, and mitochondrial support for athletes, aging adults, and vegans
• Colloidal Silver – Antimicrobial support vs potential toxicity

If you’re curious about biohacking, natural medicine, or emerging health strategies, this episode is for you. Learn how to use these compounds safely, when to seek guidance, and how to separate fact from hype.
