There is a story out there about Paul Karason who the news media has dubbed "The Blue Man". Although the news media has continually said that he was taking colloidal silver.  The new media loves catch phrases.  The whole Blue man story seem to be turning out to be a major media disinformation event which was produced by a public relations firm and paid for by a pharmaceutical interest.  Always follow the money. The fact is that Paul has a condition called argyria that turns the skin a blue-gray color. He got this condition by taking his HomeMade silver Compound that was mostly a highly concentrated ionic silver solution. The guy used a tanning bed to further the blue look and his 15 minutes of fame. There is to known difference between true colloidal silver and ionic silver or silver proteins. I guess the guy thought of himself as an amateur chemist.


Now for some know True colloidal silver facts:

Colloidal silver was in common use until 1938 used for treating flu and other ailments. At the turn of the century, scientists had discovered that the body's most important fluids are colloidal in nature: suspended ultra-fine particles. for example, carries nutrition and oxygen to the body cells. This led to studies with colloidal silver. Prior to 1938, colloidal silver was used by physicians as a mainstream antibiotic treatment and was considered quite "high-tech." Production methods, however, were costly. The pharmaceutical industry moved in, causing colloidal silver research to be set aside in favor of fast working and financially lucrative drugs.

Silver has been proven to be useful against hundreds of infectious conditions. Fixing my colds and flu will work just nicely.

Silver is one of the most universal antibiotic substances. It is non-toxic when administered in the colloidal form.
Colloidal silver is back in favor, making this product a natural antibiotic and preventative against infections. The colloidal silver reportedly, does not do harm to human enzymes or parts of the human body chemistry and disables the enzyme that one-celled bacteria, viruses and fungi need for their oxygen metabolism.


Maybe it is time for a little silver.

Some extra silver facts.

History of using silver for used as a healing and anti-bacterial agent and employed as a germicide and antibiotic by civilizations throughout the world.

Ancient Egyptian writings have also the mentioned use of silver. They were way ahead of their time

In the Middle Ages, silverware protected the wealthy from the full brunt of the plague.

Before the advent of modern germicides and antibiotics, it was known that disease-causing pathogens could not survive in the presence of silver. Consequently, silver was used in dish ware, drinking vessels and eating utensils.

Food has been stored and ate from silver vessels to keep bacteria from growing.

The Chinese emperors and their courts ate with silver chopsticks.  I need some of those.

Settlers in the Australian outback suspend silverware in their water tanks to retard spoilage.

Pioneers trekking across the American West found that if they placed silver or copper coins in their casks of drinking water, it kept the water safe from bacteria, algae, etc.

All along the frontier, silver dollars were put in milk to keep it fresh.  Maybe we need to keep doing this.

Prior to the introduction of antibiotics, colloidal silver was used widely in hospitals and has been known as a bactericide for at least 1200 years.

In the early 1800s, doctors used silver sutures in surgical wounds with very successful results.

I just love history. The truth is always better that fiction.
