No not at all. Just curious is all. It's a fairly new site so I'm still trying
to promote it.

it has some good information.
Q - Will colloidal silver turn me "blue" (a cosmetic condition called
argyria)?
A - No! There is one well known case of argyria which these people keep
displaying as a scare tactic. What they neglect to tell you that the condition
WAS NOT caused by colloidal silver! Years ago this same individual (complete
with photograph) was shown on an FDA web page, and the description read: "From
taking excessive amounts of SILVER NITRATE nose drops, over an extended period
of time, as a young girl"! Silver nitrate IS NOT "colloidal silver"! I have
never seen where anyone has produced a single "verifiable" case of argyria
attributable to "colloidal silver"! Yes, there have been obscure "examples"
(manufactured), like the one mentioned above. IF they were real and verifiable,
they would be "in your face" every time you mentioned colloidal silver. The
person would be somewhat of a celebrity, appearing every time the need arose!
Strange that they merely disappear and are not heard of again! Who were they?
Who knows? Smoke and mirrors! With the huge number of people using colloidal
silver today, IF argyria were indeed a potential problem, you would expect to
encounter at least one "blue person" a week! How many have you seen? Finally,
IF argyria were a real possibility (remember, it is only a "cosmetic"
condition), why don't you see several cases posted on the FDA "NSAERS"
(Nutritional Supplements Adverse Event Reporting System). Could it be because
filing a false AER is a federal crime?
