I can't watch the video from this PC, but is it just me or does that entire photo seem to have a blue filter effect on it? Note the blue shirt he's wearing and then the odd tint to his hair, furniture, eyeglass frame, etc. Looks doctored, or enhanced at the least.

That's weird! I thought that silver was a dangerous heavy metal that would kill you. Apparently, the stuff he's drinking isn't deadly, but it does have some fairly negative side effects.

No, it's real.

I've seen him on NBC's The Today Show on two separate occasions.

His skin is dark blue / purplish.
