- The wellness industry, despite its promises, often prioritizes financial gains over genuine health benefits, emphasizing the importance of critical evaluation.
- Methylene blue, while medically useful for specific conditions like methemoglobinemia, should not be used casually for mood or cognitive enhancement due to potential risks and misinformation.
