Welcome back to Chasing Eden: Natural Health God’s Way. I’m your host, Caroline Thompson, and today we’re diving into a fascinating—and somewhat controversial—topic: a little blue dye that’s been around for over a century, yet may hold some of the biggest keys to human health, vitality, and longevity.I’m talking about methylene blue.Now, at first mention, methylene blue might sound like something you’d find in a chemistry lab, not a wellness cabinet. But according to researcher and author Mark Sloan in his book The Ultimate Guide to Methylene Blue, this humble compound has been studied extensively for decades and has shown remarkable benefits across a wide range of conditions.In today’s episode, we’ll explore methylene blue’s surprising history, the science behind it, and its potential role in combating aging, neurodegenerative disease, viral infections, depression, pain, and even cancer.But before we get into the benefits, we need to step back and understand something that’s often called a “miracle molecule” but may actually accelerate aging and disease—nitric oxide.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Anxiety, Genes, and the Methylation Puzzle: How 40% of the World Carries a Hidden Mutation“Welcome back to Chasing Eden, the show where we rediscover health and harmony through a mix of ancient wisdom and modern science. I’m your host, Caroline Thompson. Today, we’re tackling a hidden cause of anxiety that may be affecting you—or someone you love—without you even knowing. According to human biologist Gary Brecka, up to 40% of the world’s population carries a genetic mutation that impairs how their body processes folate. It’s called the MTHFR mutation, and it can lead to a condition known as methylation deficiency.Why does that matter? Because methylation touches almost every system in the body—from how you make neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, to how you detoxify, to how calm or anxious you feel every single day. If you’ve struggled with unexplained anxiety, depression, brain fog, or fatigue… this episode could shine a light on the missing piece.We’ll discuss the symptoms, how to test for it, and, most importantly, what difference the right supplementation can make. So stay tuned—because by the end of this episode, you’ll understand how a tiny genetic change could have massive effects on your mood, your mind, and your life.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Essential oils have been used for more than 5,000 years. In fact, some of the most advanced civilizations on record—Ancient Egypt, India, Persia, Greece, and China—recognized the power of plant essences.In Ancient Egypt, essential oils were central to rituals, medicine, and beauty. Frankincense, myrrh, cedarwood, and rose were used to embalm royalty and anoint priests. Cleopatra’s legendary beauty regime included rose oil and myrrh for skin renewal.In the Bible, oils like frankincense, myrrh, spikenard, and hyssop are referenced over 200 times.The three gifts brought to Christ—gold, frankincense, and myrrh—were not merely symbolic but practical and medicinal.In India, Ayurveda classified essential oils as “volatile principles” used to balance doshas, calm the mind, and stimulate digestion.Fast forward to 20th-century France—a chemist named René-Maurice Gattefossé accidentally discovered lavender oil’s healing power after burning his hand. His results led to the term we now know as “aromatherapy.”So yes, essential oils aren’t new. They’re ancient tools—distilled wisdom from nature herself.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/chasing-eden-health-longevity-and-spirituality--6612749/support.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
