>New Protein Therapy Shows Promise as Antidote for Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
So Shatner was right all along: not only is Promise Margarine good for lowering your cholesterol level, but it can also treat carbon monoxide poisoning! And it tastes like butter, promise.
I don't see a relation of any kind and I hate commercials maybe more than anybody else, but it's always a good time for a funny one with Shatner :)

Methylene blue works great, is very cheap, and it's been around for over a century. I guess I shouldn't be a hater. This seems to improve the effectiveness of existing treatments. However, shame they don't mention methylene blue though in the article.

Methylene blue has a fun/shocking side-effect.

IANAMD I made a quick search and the evidence of methylene blue as a carbon monoxide antidote looks controversial.
IIUC part of the effect is oxidizing/reducing the iron atom in the hemoglobin, and that changes how strong is the bound with the O2, CO, NO. But my chemistry is not enough to give a good guess of the results.
