“You mentioned methylation as a detrimental process, the way it disrupts the epigenome and the CD reader, so to speak. There are people out there who are ingesting methylene blue. And when I was a kid, I used methylene blue to clean my fish tank. And I love fish tanks. I know you're into aquaria also, a different podcast episode, we'll talk about aquaria, but why in the world, would people ingest methylene blue? Meaning is their logic correct? And or is that a dangerous practice? I'm not sure I'd want to ingest methylene blue, sounds not like a bad thing to do.”
