Dr. Brandon Crawford extensively discussed the multifaceted benefits of methylene blue, a synthetic dye with a rich history dating back to 1876. While its origins lie in the textile industry, methylene blue possesses significant antimicrobial properties and has been historically used in treating malaria. Dr. Crawford highlighted its modern applications, particularly in cognitive enhancement, improved oxygen delivery, energy levels, and overall health optimization. He shared his personal journey of skepticism towards its efficacy, only to eventually incorporate it into his daily routine after thorough research. Furthermore, Dr. Crawford explained the physiological mechanisms of methylene blue, emphasizing its affinity for neurological tissue and its role in balancing oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitric oxide levels.

He also focused on its medical uses, including potential treatments for carbon monoxide poisoning, hangover prevention, and as a possible intervention for long-haul COVID-19. Safety is a key focus, with Dr. Crawford advising on appropriate dosing and the importance of consulting healthcare providers due to potential contraindications and interactions with certain medications. He stressed the significance of starting with small doses and closely monitoring the body's response.
