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.

rn/writer, RN 17 Articles; 4,168 Posts Feb 19, 2008 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.

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.........
