It’s Not Makeup: 57-Year-Old Man’s Skin Turns Dark Blue

"The change was so gradual that I didn't perceive it and for people around me, likewise. It was just so gradual that no one really noticed. It wasn't until a friend that I hadn't seen in several months came by my parents' place to see me and he asked me 'what did you do?'"

Did the reporter say colloidal silver? This does not sound good to me. It looks like a systemic dessimation of silver to the point it has affected his skin. I fear for this man’s internal organs. If I were his wife, I’d get him to a MD right away for blood tests, etc. and stop drinking silver!

I guess he’ll be singing the BLUEs then…

Unless he gets a visit from the BLUEbird of happiness…

Or maybe he could star in a BLUE movie…

Or he could be the official spokesBLUEberry for BLUEberry crunch cereal…

ok, I’ll stop now

Argyria

Long-term intake of high doses of certain silver products may result in an extremely rare condition known as argyria, which is a blue or gray discoloration of the skin. It occurs when sunlight interacts with silver deposited in the skin, in the same way that silver particles in photographic film darken when exposed to sunlight. It can occur both via ingestion of silver, or through topical application of silver to the skin.[citation needed] While generally considered permanent, some have claimed to have reversed it.[7] Argyria is non-fatal[8] , but at high doses, some cases of kidney damage, stomach distress, and headaches have been reported, and a few rare cases of brain and nerve damage.[9] An FDA “Talk Paper” references silver ingredients and silver salts that includes silver proteins, silver chloride and silver iodide. They claim that the use of these “gelatinous” silver solutions has resulted in rare cases of argyria.[10] Advocates don’t dispute the fact that almost all known cases of argyria resulted from use of highly concentrated silver compounds such as silver oxide, silver nitrate or silver chloride and not the electrolyte-manufactured solutions, which contain only ionic and colloidal silver and typically comprise silver concentrations of 30 ppm or less.

Advocates assert that, under careful use of properly produced colloidal silver, argyria is virtually impossible,[11] though these claims are anecdotal and have not been confirmed by scientific study. Advocates also claim that very few if any current cases are known to exist. They view the entire controversy as an orchestrated scare tactic by special interests who they say deliberately exaggerate and mislead people away from colloidal silver products. However, occasional verified cases of argyria continue to be reported and proven, sometimes making the television news programs
