In this short video, a clinician explains that methylene blue (MB) possesses strong antiviral and antimicrobial properties, especially when combined with red and near‑infrared (NIR) light. He notes that blood banks routinely sterilize donated blood by adding a small amount of MB and irradiating it with red/NIR light, meaning virtually every transfusion recipient receives a dose of MB. Building on this principle, he describes an IV protocol he has used on more than 100 patients with severe COVID‑19, delivering intravenous red light together with intravenous MB. He reports anecdotal, rapid improvements during the infusion—patients often sit up and express feeling better while the treatment is ongoing. The speaker presents the combination as a powerful, low‑risk therapeutic option for COVID‑19, emphasizing its established use in blood‑bank sterilization and its observed clinical benefits.

Some of the things that a lot of people don't talk about with methylene blue is its ability to work against microbes. So as an antiviral, antimicrobial, particularly when you blend it with light. In fact, at the blood banks, it's the primary way that the blood's sterilized. So if you've— anybody that's gotten a blood transfusion has actually gotten a little bit of methylene blue. Whoa. So they'll put a little methylene blue in with the blood and then they'll irradiate it with, red and near-infrared light. And so that combination's very powerful. I've worked with well over 100 patients with very significant COVID with an IV protocol using intravenous red light and intravenous methylene blue. Hmm. And it wasn't uncommon to see people in the middle of that IV kind of like start to sit up straight, like, what's in this stuff, Dr. John? Like, I'm feeling better. Is that normal? Could I be feeling better? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, you could.
