Okay, so take a look at this guy:
No, this is not a character from Star Trek. This is an actual guy with a permanent, incurable condition called argyria, which he got from ingesting a substance called colloidal silver, which has no proven medical benefits but which is marketed as an “alternative medicine” treatment for all manner of common ailments. (This guy was taking it for arthritis.) This is all perfectly legal thanks to super-dumbass Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah, who wrote the 1994 Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, which basically states that as long as you label something a “dietary supplement” and not a “drug” (the majority of such “supplements” are manufactured in Utah), you can basically put anything you want in the bottle and there is no oversight whatsoever. It’s not even required that you accurately list the ingredients. So be very careful about taking dietary supplements. Many of them are scams, and some of them can be very, very dangerous.
For more on distinguishing science from bunk, check out my interview with Brian Dunning of the Skeptoid podcast.
I am taking colloidal silver for sinus congestion, etc. and it works great. There are no harmful side effects at all. It is completely natural.
To turn blue, my doctor states that you would need to take 2 bottles of silver a day for 70+ years. I am taking a couple teaspoons a day for a few months.
That guy dosent look 70, so apparently you doctor is an idiot. I obviously dosent take 70 years to turn you blue
