Episode notes
Often pseudo-scientific medicine is brought to Dr. Sydnee by friends and family. But this time, she encountered Methylene blue in the wild! Methylene blue is currently being touted as a cancer treatment, which is . . . not based on evidence. But Dr. Sydnee talks about the history of this colorful substance and what it can be actually used for.
