I remember reading the article about this guy and I can't remember what specifically he kept eatting but it did contain silver. I wonder if he has blue..

There is medical documentation about the other born blue people in the world. I think a few are in WV.....

If people are dumb enough to take it I'll be more than happy to laugh at them.

I thought the symptoms are similar however the causes are genetic and the other is stupidity.

Now where's my banjo?

In my entire life I have never seen this condition, so it must be rare or I don't get out much.....
But I have seen a lot of albinos lately.

I emailed that Rosemary years ago and asked her what she took and why all the people I've known to take properly made colloidal silver haven't turned blue. She sent back a very bitter email.

There's no correlation between taking a normal suspension of colloidal silver where the particle size is in the parts per million vs. whatever kind of silver salts these people took.

Exactly. I brew my own colloidal silver from time to time (and will be doing so now, given the risk of swine flu) and it is unfathomable that someone can overdose to the extent of turning blue/gray. Indeed, colloidal silver is not the cause; it is silver nitrate and other silver salts, improperly ingested by careless people, that are.

Nothing destroys pathogens as effectively as silver, and bacteria and viruses cannot develop resistance to it. It works by interfering with their form of respiration. The smaller the size of the silver particles, the deadlier it is to pathogens. (Think of those IKEA playpens for kids with the balls. They can bury themselves and be OK because the spaces between the balls are big enough to allow air to flow. Shrink those balls to the size of tiny styrofoam beads. Throw in a kid. He/she will suffocate in minutes. The kid symbolizes a bacterium or virus and the beads represent tiny silver particles.)

Finally, those people may be blue, but they are healthy -- unlike the many people who are injured, die or commit suicide from taking incessantly advertised prescription drugs for rheumatoid arthritis, depression, restless leg or whatever other imaginary ailment comes up.
