    Methylene Blue is also fish medicine. It treats ich.

      Yes and it treats fungal infections in tree frogs. I’m not trying to say that these medicines work the way that Gibson is saying they do, but the whole “horse dewormer” talking point is dishonest as it makes it out like these medicines have only a single use. I doubt ivermectin treats covid or whatever. But anytime someone just throws out these minimizing points as if it’s impossible to use things in more than one way only makes me doubt the validity of their claims.

    When numbnuts have no power in society, it’s often dismissed as a fool’s errand to try to counter their crazy claims. But I think we all need to be countering the crazy at all times, not just when the biggest crazies are enjoying power and reach. Otherwise, we get Joe Rogan and Mel Gibson talking about curing terminal cancer with animal dewormer and Donald Trump winning a second term and appointing RFK Jr. to delete vaccines from history.

    Horse/barn door situation, but still. It can always get worse.

    There were so many calls to “Let Mel come back,” promising that his outbursts weren’t a real problem anymore and he was on the way to recovery. Nope. Don’t believe that shit. Second chances are dead now, thanks to cunts like him and these other fucks that have squandered the goodwill of the people. Gibson isn’t done doing harm. He will be a piece of shit until he dies, which can’t come soon enough. Fuck him and the entire tribe of fuckwads that spout the same and similar nonsense. They are a blight on humanity.

        What’s your point? Antivaxxers are fuckwits who are trying to kill the innocent. They’d dispute that, but they don’t even understand how vaccines work, so what chance could they have of understanding cause and effect generally? And therefore, why should anyone give a shit what they have to say or what they think?

            Too bad he gets “corrupted” because he is naïve and believes the things he hears on Rogan or you would have a point.

            Believe it or not, many of Rogan’s listeners are even less rigorous about fact checking than he is because they trust his guests even if they don’t trust him.

        I can confirm it will not. All it will do is leak a bit and then you spend years trying to figure out which specific spice has a bit of food coloring on the bottom because every now and then you find a green circle on the counter.

      Methylene Blue does have medicinal purposes and I know someone who had it used in a hospital due to a reaction to anti-malarials.

    Well the blue color actually proved valuable in spinal reconstruction. (AFAIK)

      Huh. Apparently it’s been found seemingly helpful with pain management, trauma reduction, disinfection, cleaning, and tumor detection when used as a dye. I wasn’t thorough so I didn’t find anything about spinal reconstruction specifically but its use is probably related in one of these ways in some procedures. So TIL.

      Still not a cancer-killer. Sorry, Mel!

        It’s also used as a topical antibacterial agent in wound care (source: am wound care nurse), but ya, not cancer.

        True… I found this… but probably a little out dated.

          TL;DR: When injected intravenously, it prevents surrounding tissue damage by preventing the flood of ATP from binding to neighbor cell “death receptors”. It replaces oxidized ATP that needed to be injected directly on the injured spine and had other side effects. At one cost: temporarily turning turning your skin blue. Neat!

              Yeah! That’s what immediately came to mind when I first heard the song because in Spanish it’s APT and I used to love biochem many years ago. lol

              E: Apparently my dyslexia got the best of me and it’s also ATP in Spanish and I’m misremembering.

      I can believe that, but thinking a thing that’s helpful in spinal surgery then taking it when you have the cancer is… it’s pretty fucking dumb. Like… penicillin has saved my life about 5 different times because I have had chronic pneumonia, but I’m not about to down it if my leg breaks. These aren’t similar issues.

      That reminds me of some obscure bit of dialogue in some scifi show or something, where someone tries to insult another person by something but then they’re not offended, just autistically go “brains are supposed to be wet” for something.

      Ugh it’s not wet though but something along those lines. Ugh this is gonna bother me all day
