Does methylene blue chelate mercury and heavy metals?

[BootsAndBear]

Back Story
I have been chelating heavy metals with the andy cutler protocol for over a year. I got really sick in early 2020 with covid and the next year was in a wheelchair. Bam. My mitochondrial tests from 2020 were the worst the doctors had ever seen. Various mito-targeted supplements did nothing. I cleared my body of extensive mycotoxins (genetic problems kept them stuck but binders eventually led to a clean report from Great Plains), then still didn’t feel better, then got tested for heavy metals and had lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury, etc, all very high. I started with DMSA, then worked up to DMPS because we realized I was also extremely copper toxic, my eye color had even changed and went back to blue after a few months on DMPS. Now I am chelating with ALA as well but still very ill. I share this because I was always sicker than I should have been, but viruses (like covid and cmv, ebv) really knocked me down hard.

Enter methylene blue, a strange and fascinating substance. It can clear viruses. It got me out of bed again in June after three years of being bedridden. I had an unbearable herx for the first month or two, but now take 24mg a day and am doing great on it. I stopped chelating for about three months to try to give my body less to work on at once, the herx was extreme but I think now that is a good thing! Something needed clearing out, maybe those gunky old viruses. 

Here is my question: Does methylene blue chelate heavy metals out of the body? 
I shop carefully to get methylene blue that has been well tested for heavy metals. I see all kinds of studies on methylene blue getting heavy metals out of unclean water. But have I stayed sick even though I have improved some, because maybe I never actually stopped chelating if I took methylene blue the whole time? If methylene blue binds to metals, which it seems to in studies about fish tanks and water treatment, how do I know if it is a good or bad chelator for the body? Redistribution is my main concern.

I have spent all summer trying to find this answer on my own, but do not have the chemistry or biology chops to grasp what I managed to find. Can anyone weigh in?

Have I been chelating all summer on methylene blue even though I stopped taking DMPS and ALA for awhile?

Do I need to be extra careful chelating with the andy cutler protocol while taking methylene blue? I do not want to quit the blue because it helps my mitochondria so much, but I need to chelate or I will never get better.

Thanks to any who can contribute!

Sounds nice now i wanna try it too.

I‘m such a sucker for supplements and 99.5% they suck and are a waste of money.

[Schizophonia]

Most of supplements are useless.

For me either useless or they extremely interfere with my sleep in a very bad way.

I take daily multivitamin, multi mineral, omega 3, probiotic supplements, is that useless?

I've tried each of those and never noticed anything.

It's also a lose of occasion to but whole foods which actually contains them.

I don’t “notice” anything either except neon yellow pee (maybe too much information) , I read it can be because of ingesting a lot of a certain vitamin. And maybe skin improvements.

that second sentence was hard to understand do you mean it’s a bad replacement for foods that contain it? I eat healthy too, I just use the pills to get that lil extra

Ahah.

I used to buy the B Complex of Thorne and it looked really yellow indeed, with a smell of fish.

Don't know if your pee also smell fishy lmao, but a priori it mush be that.

Yea

I didn't know.

Maybe it's epigenetically allows skin to repair, and protein waste are ejected in urea, something like that.

No, i mean i don't have that much money and will to put on health so i prefer focus on food rather that supplement.

I don't want to be mean to my pocket Croatian by explaining that it's useless lol, but, "voilà".

I haven’t really noticed much of a smell, I think. Yea it was b vitamins if I remember correctly 

I couldn’t quote more on my phone so I do it like this:

food is enough I think, I’m just being extra.

Idk, i've just heard here and there it was good for skin.

Putting fat on skin too (like oil Jojoba), i've already talked about that once.

What does it do? I use pure squalane oil (it’s naturally present in skin too) as the as the last step in my skincare routine and it’s amazing . I heard of it from an article on the blog “simpleskincarescience”
