WOW!
That's enough to scare me from ever touching it again.
I'm not going to anymore. Nooooot even going to take that chance.
I had to laugh when he told Matt (how he's come out more publically) because he said he couldn't find that cave he was looking for (to hide) basically.
hahhahaha
I'm glad I saw that. Glad you posted it. Thanks!

WOW! That's enough to scare me from ever touching it again. iiiii think that's the point of the broadcast. to scare people from never touching it again. I wonder if it turned his skin .. say.. a different color .. say... deep dark brown like a very dark skinned black person and they pointed it out as a negative thing, if they'd get hate mail from africans and african americans? it's like .. yeah ok you've got silver in your body and you're going to be immune to early everything now... but you're blue.. and blue is bad and people think you're a freak because it's not in our 'zone of acceptable colors for people to be'... Krishna was blue. we might turn blue after this transformation fully completes.. i wonder how acceptable we'll be to others... just by.. 'being blue'... i wonder how acceptable we will be to ourselves... me? I could be green or blue and still feel as comfortable with myself as my old pale white self.

Isn't that about the truth of it? And I could be comfortable too as having my skin blue or green....if NO ONE in the world was around.

Acacian -
There are many other documented cases of people turning blue from colloidal silver. In fact I was talking to the man who owns one of the health food stores I go to about the case, and he said one of his regular customers has turned blue from it. He said her case is not nearly as dramatic, but she has been buying up almost everything they stock. She claims to bre fighting MS.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArgyriaArgyria (ISV from Greek: ἄργυρος argyros silver + -ia) is a condition caused by improper exposure to chemical forms of the element silver, silver dust, or silver compounds. The most dramatic symptom of argyria is that the skin becomes blue or bluish-grey colored. Argyria may be found as generalized argyria or local argyria. Argyrosis is the corresponding condition related to the eye. The condition is believed to be permanent, but laser therapy has been used to treat it with satisfactory cosmetic results.[2] History Since at least the early part of the 20th century, doctors have known that silver or silver compounds can cause some areas of the skin and other body tissues to turn gray or blue-gray. Argyria occurs in people who eat or breathe in silver over a long period (several months to many years). A single exposure to a silver compound may also cause silver to be deposited in the skin and in other parts of the body; however, this is not known to be harmful. It is likely that many exposures to silver are necessary to develop argyria. Once argyria develops, it is generally believed to be permanent. Generalized form of Argyria.Reports of cases of argyria and a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency statement suggest that 1 to 4 grams of silver or a silver compound taken in medication in small doses over several months may cause argyria in some humans. People who work in factories that manufacture silver can also breathe in silver or its compounds. In the past, some of these workers have become argyric. However, the level of silver in the air and the length of exposure that caused argyria in these workers is not known. It is also not known what level of silver causes breathing problems, lung and throat irritation, or stomach pain in people. Studies in rats show that drinking water containing very large amounts of silver (2.6 grams per liter) is likely to be life-threatening. Argyria that covers the entire body is not seen following skin contact with silver compounds, although the skin may change color where it touches the silver. However, many people who have used skin creams containing silver compounds such as silver nitrate and silver sulfadiazine have not reported health problems from the silver in the medicine. In one animal study, a strong solution of silver nitrate (81 milligrams silver nitrate per liter of water) applied to the skin of guinea pigs for 28 days did not cause the animals to die; however, it did cause the guinea pigs to stop gaining weight normally. It is not known if this would happen to people if they were exposed the same way. Reports in humans A prominent case was that of Stan Jones of Montana, a Libertarian candidate for the United States Senate in 2002 and 2006. Jones acquired argyria through consumption of a home-made silver product that he made due to fears that the Year 2000 problem would make antibiotics unavailable. The peculiar colouration of his skin was featured prominently in media coverage of his unsuccessful campaign, though Jones contends that the best-known photo was "doctored".[3] Jones promised that he was not using his silvery complexion as a gimmick. He continues to promote the use of colloidal silver as a home remedy.[3] He has said that his good health, minus the unusual skin tone, is the result of his use of colloidal silver.[3] On December 20, 2007 the world press published stories about Paul Karason, a California man whose entire skin gradually turned blue after consuming colloidal silver made by himself with distilled water, salt and silver, and using a silver salve on his face in an attempt to treat problems with his sinus, dermatitis, acid reflux, and other issues.[4][5][6] Another case of argyria caused by colloidal silver ingestion can be found here: PMID 17177941 The US Food and Drug Administration mentioned a book recording 114 cases of argyria had been compiled in the 1930s in a ruling that the sale of drugs containing colloidal silver over-the-counter was illegal, as they are unsafe and ineffective.[7] A fictionalised case of argyria is the "Blue Man" in Mitch Albom's novel The Five People You Meet in Heaven.
