Turning blue is not an “an extremely rare side effect”, it is a natural consequence of ingesting colloidal silver in sufficient quantities. It is dose related.

Silver has great antibacterial properties.
it’s used in modern wound dressing for wound sthat won’t heal – especially for the elderly.

Kids raised with a silver spoon get less sickness.

Old royalty were called blue bloods becuase they ate off silver utensils which gave their skin a blue cast.

Collodial silver is not a natural cure for either blocked arteries or Cancer. It is for colds and flus.

“colloidal silver” is not colloidal–it is ionic silver. When ingested it forms silver chloride, which precipitates out of solution. Yes, it can accumulate in the skin and turn you blue or gray.

True colloids are silver nanoparticles–just really tiny pieces of pure silver–not silver ions. They do not react and will not turn you blue. I am not affiliated with this company, but I believe their claims of a true colloid and have tried their product: http://www.purestcolloids.com/mesosilver.htm

Blippitt: You’ve included a deceptive pseudo-quote there. No where in this article does it say that he got a “clean bill of health.” It actually says, “he was recently treated for a blocked artery and prostate cancer.” The other part of that sentence says “a recent physical indicated that his heart, lungs, kidney and liver were all healthy.” So to recap:

Signs of health: heart, lungs, kidney and liver.
Signs of illness: blocked artery and PROSTATE CANCER.

I think that puts colloidal silver well within the category of junk science.
