Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has recently generated significant interest following the release of a video in which he adds Methylene Blue to his water while aboard an aircraft.
The clip, which was disseminated by MMA fighter Vance Elrod on X (formerly Twitter), quickly gained traction, drawing the attention of users fascinated by this unconventional behavior. In his post, Elrod suggested that Methylene Blue could offer various advantages when consumed during flights, including reducing radiation exposure, safeguarding against oxidative stress, preventing colds, and enhancing autophagy during fasting.
The video elicited a diverse range of reactions from users on X. Some individuals commended Kennedy, stating that they also incorporate small doses of Methylene Blue into their daily routines for its alleged health benefits. Conversely, others voiced doubts, questioning the safety and effectiveness of the substance.

Methylene Blue, a synthetic dye, is frequently utilized in medical applications, particularly for treating methemoglobinemia, a rare blood disorder that hinders oxygen transport within the body. While its medical applications are well-established, broader health claims, particularly in everyday contexts, remain contentious.
Kennedy, a 71-year-old politician, environmental attorney, author, and anti-vaccine advocate, has consistently been a divisive figure. Beyond his recent viral video, he is also recognized for his outspoken opposition to the fluoridation of drinking water, a public health initiative designed to decrease tooth decay by adding fluoride to water supplies. He has persistently criticized this practice, which is supported by numerous health organizations.

Kennedy serves as the chair of Children’s Health Defense, an organization opposing vaccines that he established in 2015. This group has faced significant criticism for disseminating misinformation regarding vaccines and various public health matters.
Although Methylene Blue has legitimate medical uses, such as assisting in cancer surgeries to locate lymph nodes, its application outside of clinical environments, especially during air travel, is still a topic of contention. Numerous health professionals advise caution regarding its extensive use without appropriate medical supervision.
