The "TRUE" Blue Bloater on Oprah

[mcknis]

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.

[leslie :-D]

How would you know if he was hypoxic?

it depends on the severity.

many do not become cyanotic.

in its later stages, increased hr and rr would be indicators:

as well as the use of accessory muscles, positioning, jvd, etc.

once true resp distress sets in, it's pretty darned apparent. :)

I think it's interesting that the saying "born with a silver spoon in their mouth" comes from the use of silver to stay healthy.

A couple of centuries ago, the wealthy (only ones who could afford real silver flatware) gave their babies silver spoons to suck on to boost their health.

I guess if that was all you had you'd be glad for it.

I thought it was "plastic spoon"....

Well, I was wondering how the great Dr. Oz knows how all of his internal organs and brain are now blue? Did he have laparoscopy and cranioscopy? He's still sorta cute though, even if he's blue inside...

The colloidal silver "bluing" is irreversible. Now if some of y'all brainiacs can just come up with the cure...

He was also putting it on his skin too. He said that he had a bad case of dermatitis. ugh... that is terrible.

[leslie :-D]

does this mean if he rubbed red stuff on his face, it would turn purple?

or yellow stuff, it would turn green?

I thought he was more gray than blue....but that is just me :)

Wonder what colour his pee is? Wonder if the silver is somehow attatching to the red blood cells and that accounts for the colour change? You know like attatching to the haemaglobin. Wonder what his sats are like? Hmm lots of questions, I go a little crazy on nights....
