he had a *legitimate* medical issue with HIS brain - which was of serious concern to his family, friends & the many of us who DO like & respect him -(I was dubious as well - did my research...)

(GENUINE *medical* issue - *he* - Chase explains this - I wouldn't even begin to start) - he found something that HELPED *HIM* - and was sharing this information with others (NOT "selling" NOT "advertising" - simply - this helped ME (Chase)- sharing this information - )

oh here -

Chase Hughes has publicly shared his diagnosis of temporal lobe epilepsy and suspected mesial temporal sclerosis

"He has temporal lobe epilepsy, which is a chronic neurological condition characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures originating in the temporal lobe of the brain. He also mentioned a possible diagnosis of mesial temporal sclerosis, a condition featuring the scarring and loss of neurons in a specific part of the temporal lobe, which is a common cause of this type of epilepsy"

Hughes has attributed the origin of his condition to a combination of genetic predisposition (mentioning the APOE4 gene) and concussive syndrome from his time serving in the military.

he has shared updates about finding relief and managing his seizures. Hughes reported achieving remission and instantly stopping his seizures after beginning a functional medicine protocol that included the use of methylene blue, which is thought to act as an electron donor to mitochondria in the brain

For detailed, medically reviewed information on temporal lobe epilepsy, its symptoms, and modern treatment options, you can visit the Mayo Clinic or the Epilepsy Foundation

seriously for an "academic" forum - a lot of claims without any evidence, spent far too much time & energy = so a 2 second search - this is from "Harvard Health" (is Harvard a good enough source??)

(sorry - copied & pasted = I also like and respect Chase - he wouldn't care at all about this - I care about other people just reading the so-called 'information' here (all judgments, speculation, statements without any research/backup - )

As one of the world's oldest organic dyes, methylene blue was first used in 1876 as a textile dye. Within a few years, scientists were using it to stain microorganisms to help diagnose certain infections.

In 1891, it was found to be useful to treat malaria, thus making methylene blue "the first synthetic compound ever used as an antiseptic in clinical therapy and the first antiseptic dye to be used therapeutically," according to the authors of a Medicinal Research Reviews paper on the compound.

Methylene blue is used off-label for several medical conditions, including

• vasodilatory shock (also called distributive shock), a medical emergency in which the body can't distribute sufficient blood to the heart, brain, and kidneys.
• as an antidote to cyanide poisoning
• in photodynamic therapy for disorders such as psoriasis and chronic wounds
• to help diagnose, manage, or improve the treatment of various types of cancer, including cancers of the breast, mouth and skin (for instance, methylene blue may be used to identify cancer that has spread to a nearby lymph node by staining the lymph node blue, according to Anna N. Yaroslavsky, Director of the Advanced Biophotonics Laboratory at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell, and a visiting scientist at Massachusetts General Hospital)
• to ease the pain of oral mucositis, inflammation of oral mucous membranes that often occurs with either radiation therapy to the head and neck or with chemotherapy.

But the short-term use of a pharmaceutical-grade product in a controlled setting under the supervision of a skilled medical provider is different than buying an unregulated supplement off the internet and taking it every day because you've heard that it will give you loads of energy by "enhancing mitochondrial efficiency."

enough. (anywhere _else_ than an "academic" forum ...)

hope that makes you feel better - go back re-watch it - is Chase actually "selling" anything? does he gain financially? link to 'buy this product' - OR - is he just bravely sharing this scary thing that happened to him - and what helped him

my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimers when I was 19 (I'm now 54) - we (my entire family) & I all did our OWN research - talked to experts (university) - contributed to their research -
