Just turned on Oprah and saw the only single man of the Blue Man group. Just kidding, but this man had been drinking collodial silver for several years which in the long run, turned his skin blue! Very fascinating story if you never hear about it! Just curious how many others watched this, or even have seen this story before.

Someone made a post here once warning people that stuff can turn your skin gray but this is the first time I heard blue.

Decades ago we had a patient whose skin was blue after surviving human experimentation in a nazi concentration camp.
it sounds like the color of his skin, is the least of his problems.

In the film The Five People You Meet In Heaven, the first person the main character meets is The Blue Man from the carnival he worked for. In the story, The Blue Man drank colloidal silver as an adolescent and it turned his skin a deep royal blue, not unlike the Blue Man Group guys, but maybe a tad more toward the purple end of the spectrum.
Wonder what else the colloidal silver does to your body.

I saw a older couple like this. They drank it while on a mission or something somewhere in Central America.
And they were indeed quite blue.

Well, Oprah's Dr. Oz said his internal organs are also turned blue. The Doc said even his brain was now blue too.

I'm so glad to see others have become aware of the negative side effects of ingesting silver. Someone wrote in on a thread that I can't remember (senior moment # ??????), that since silver dressings worked so well on wounds, he/she was going to start taking it orally.
After reading that, I tore a large portion of the skin from my lateral forearm near my elbow, in a fall - (funny thing is, it didn't hurt, and I wouldn't have known the extent of my injury if I hadn't spotted blood.). After the 22 stitches were removed, and the nosocomial infection resolved........... healing wasn't terrific (I'm 68, and find healing is slower as I age), so I applied a silver dressing, and it really worked to speed up and enhance healing. However, the scar is blue!
If any of you on this thread can remember which the one that is with the silver enthusiast, maybe you could warn the writer that it is not OK to take whatever seems good, in other forms and refer them to this thread.........
o.k. I gotta ask--- Anyone else thinking of Phil Collins, you know the song
