    There are recent articles (not just the one below), but I’m not finding studies related to PD. Likely there’s no money to be made, particularly if it’s neuro-restorative in any way.

    Some take-always: • Small doses are good, large doses bad. • Get the pharmaceutical grade, not the other kinds. • There are contraindications. Read them, especially if you have Parkinson’s Disease and take medication for it!

    Do extensive research so you know more about it than your doctor before discussing it. Your doctor will probably say “no” regardless, since it’s not a standard PD medication. How do we break free from that stranglehold?

    I recently became aware of Methylene Blue, and at first was very excited about its potential benefits for Parkinson’s Disease patients.  But I read a precaution against taking it if also taking carbidopa/levodopa. I would appreciate more information.
