ok, the phrase "self-medicating at PetCo" is an absolute banger. lmao
- This is an old meme in fishkeeping circles but RFK jr might make it real:
  
  It’s interesting how niche circles get continually brought into the spotlight these days. Looking forward to some weird thing next week that forces me to know about an inside joke from the ant farm enthusiasts

Getting "causes oxydative stress" mixed up with "prevents oxydative stress" is so good.
And the idea of doing a higher than optimal dose because you are "spearheading a movement" is an incredible bit.

Do NOT, without doctor supervision, put anything blue or green in your body that isn't food. Oftentimes, that color comes from copper which will replace the iron in your blood and will stop your red blood cells from releasing oxygen to the cells. Methylene blue is not one of these materials (and an IV drip of it is actually the treatment if this happens to someone) but I really want to make it clear that those colors are not safe. Do no consume dyes or anything but food grade coloring.
- It’s ok, he’s spearheading a movement
- This is true unless you are RFK Jr, in which case go for it
- If I wasn't supposed to be eating blue paint chips, Why'd you paint them blue? Checkmate
  
  Also, don't call them chips unless you want us to eat them
- now im wondering if that copper cookware fad is causing people to slightly poison themselves from the copper leaching into their food the way cast iron leaches iron.
  
  Metallic copper is safe (otherwise residential water pipes would be a terrible idea) but the salt form is not
  The issue is that heat + something reactive can make salts. Copper sulfate from cooking onions for example. As a result copper pans are typically lined with a thin layer of a nonreactive metal like tin. This makes them both ridiculously expensive AND impractical because when the tin layer starts to wear away you have to get it re-tinned. This can be done at home but the bougie person with all copper cookware generally isn’t going to do that
  Obviously cookware with “copper layers” embedded doesn’t have that drawback but this is marketing nonsense for the most part. “Better heat transfer” may be technically true but people have been cooking fantastic food on carbon steel pans for like 100 years and cast iron since the Han dynasty. If someone needs fancy cookware over a $30 pan it’s a skill issue
  As you said cast iron does leech as well but it leeches dietary iron, which for most people is beneficial. Seasoning layer does not prevent this.
  
  In copper cookware the copper is coated, the part that touches food isn't copper
  
  Generally those are lined with something to prevent a harmful amount of copper leaching. That being said, if they are not treated correctly, the lining can come off and then they would become dangerous. I use ceramic copper pans and I have felt no ill effects yet, but I am very careful with how I cook with them and clean them.
- uh. weed.
  
  I am referring to anything industrially produced.
  
  Weed is food
- an IV drip of it is actually the treatment if this happens to someone
  Chelators are such fun

low key hoping that RFK directly leads to one or more of the current administration developing health problems from the 1860s and dying because they insisted that what they were doing was helping.
- "I wish to be the next FDR!"
  monkey paw curls a finger* "HA! Enjoy the Polio, asshole!"
- I just want a secretary of some department to take enough colloidal silver to turn blue

You know what else prevents colds and viruses at the airport/planes? An N95.

sigh really hope none of my dumbass family picks this shit up
- Same, generally terrified my mom is gonna kill herself with this quackery.
  
  Same, my mom is already in not great health :pain:

will make your red blood cells explode

The libs don't want you to know this, but you should be drinking elixirs daily. I'm talking mercury. I'm talking antimony. And you'd better include your daily value of arsenic while you're at it. I'm never felt better and I'm going to live forever.
- WE ARE SO BACK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_mass
  LET FREEDOM RING
  
  The American working class of today can scarcely afford to pass down an antimony pill to their children. The modern copyright system has kept patent medicines locked away from the people. Why, even a simple liniment or elixir these days is locked up behind the counter at the general store!
  Well to you, the good people of Liberal Mountain, Idaho I say no more! A new red dawn has risen for the American worker. I bring you the finest cure-all Soviet Science can muster! Stalin's Scientific Sausage, containing naught but the certified, verified best!
- your humours are out of balance and you're phlegmatic-posting

will make your red blood cells explode
So it's the anti-vampire thing from blade? Certainly explains why it does that.

Methelyene blue is Western Decadence.
Brilliant Green is proletarian science.

Sometimes I wonder how much damage could be done to the far right by intentionally spreading crazy health dads like this. I guess for every ghoul it kills there would be 10 teenagers or maha moms.
- The collateral damage would be too great

Lmao, fingers crossed he takes care of himself.

Really hope all this self-medicating leads him to the grave, but unfortunately money always seems to keep these fucks alive no matter how self-destructive they are.
- Except for that juice drinking nitwit.
  
  True but his cancer was extremely real, which makes his case different. These other clowns are trying to "rehydrolate" their "DNA-receptor-nodes" or some shit that was made up to sell the cure. Which is unfortunate. Because I do wish they would all get pancreatic cancer and die.

Modern day equivalent of emperors ingesting mercury to become immortal.

I just watched this documentary about the "mother god" cult
Anyway, I think RFK should get into colloidal silver

Is this the mythical fluid that turned that old guy's body blue because of how much he was taking?
- I think that was colloidal silver. I have no idea what this shit is about. I did OK in chemistry and used to know a lot of functional group prefixes by heart, but that was a decade ago. but looking at those words, without looking at an MSDS sheet, tells me humans probably shouldn't assume it's safe to ingest.
  but maybe it has some immunosuppressant qualities that the worm in his brain finds beneficial.
  it really throws me that these guys are always on about the ancient wisdom of their supposedly traditional medicine, but it's always promoting new formulation of panacea somehow at the same time.
  it really undermines their attempts to distance themselves from the snake oil comparisons.
  
  Colloidal silver is actually an old-timey disinfectant, as silver itself actually does have anti-bacterial properties. Drinking colloidal silver is the old-timey version of thinking that drinking bleach will be good for you.
  
  Methylthioninium chloride
  From a cursory Wikipedia walk it is exceedingly unfit for human consumption
- Nah, that's colloidal silver. Causes Argyria.
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Karason
  
  The original Nate Silver
  
  that guy's story. just going crazy for the colloidal silver to fix all his problems (acid reflux, arthritis) and willing to overlook it making him look like a Level 55 Smurf Warlock. and apparently not willing to stop or even slow the heavy smoking of tobacco the entire time... even after a triple bypass.
  dies of heart attack/pneumonia/stroke.
- That was colloidal silver
- That was colloidal silver. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_Jones_(Libertarian_politician)

I combine blue spirulina, collodial silver, and methyl blue.
- Don't forget the blueberries
  
  Ew! Those blueberries could've been treated with Chemicals! Better not touch them, just to be safe.

Okay I've never bothered to look into any of this, but why is it antioxidants are so important? Don't I want oxygen? Google is just giving mlm, Reddit and ai slop answers
- So your body naturally creates certain oxygen containing molecules called free radicals. These are created in response to stress, immune response, and environmental stressors like UV light, radiation, and smoke. Free radicals are highly reactive as they lack a valence electron. Due to this reactivity they can damage molecules that make up your cells, including DNA, and lead to long term health issues. This is called oxidative stress. Antioxidants are molecules which have an extra electron and readily donate it to molecules that are lacking one, in this case the free radicals in your body. Their importance is in this function of reducing oxidative stress.
  
  Neat! Thanks for the writeup. Never thought I'd be against radicals running free
- I don't remember why, but certain compounds break down into "free radicals", or single oxygen atoms (as opposed to double-bonded oxygen molecules) that very easily bond to other compounds in your body and break them down.
  Antioxidants cut down on the free radicals in your blood (typically by bonding with them first, I believe) to prevent them from destroying important compounds in your body.

Why are chuds like this

Methylene blue may cause serious or fatal serotonergic syndrome when used in combination with serotonergic drugs.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK557593/ Methylene blue is a medication used in the management and treatment of methemoglobinemia, a condition in which hemoglobin decreases its ability to carry oxygen. This activity reviews the indications, action, adverse effects, and contraindications for methylene blue as a valuable agent in the therapy of methemoglobinemia, vasoplegic syndrome, Plasmodium falciparum, and ifosfamide-induced encephalopathy, as well as for diagnostic purposes such as sentinel lymph node mapping during breast procedures and parathyroid gland mapping during parathyroidectomies. This activity will highlight the indications, mechanism of action, adverse event profile, and other key factors pertinent for members of a healthcare team managing patients with methemoglobinemia and related conditions.
Methylene blue has FDA approval for the treatment of methemoglobinemia, a condition when Fe2+ of hemoglobin gets oxidized to Fe3+, reducing the oxygen-carrying capacity of hemoglobin, and typically presents with cyanosis of the lips and extremities, characteristic "chocolate-colored urine," and hypoxia.[1] Methemoglobinemia results from exposure to certain drugs such as dapsone, a drug indicated for the treatment of Mycoplasma leprae and Pneumocystis jirovecii prophylaxis, benzocaine (a local anesthetic), high altitude water sources, and nitrites such as nitroglycerin or amyl nitrite used for treating coronary artery disease.[
- Comrade methylene blue, plz

IT DYES YOUR BRAIN BLUE. MOTHERFUCKER IS GOING ALIEN MODE
ALSO THATS NOT HOW VIRUSES WORK OTHERWISE EATING SOAP WOULD CURE YOU OF MOST DISEASES JACKASS

Drinking aquarium water (complete with fish and probably a frog egg or two) every day to jumpstart my immune system.
You can tell by the jaundice that it's working.
