Dr. Millzner's use of methylene blue followed first aid instructions prepared this autumn by Pharmacologists Paul John Hanzlik (Stanford University) & Chauncey Depew Leake (University of California). Cyanides poison the body cells, make them incapable of taking life-essential oxygen from the blood. In some unknown way methylene blue detoxifies the cells, enables them to breathe again...
