Nancy. Wow. That lady is grey. This is an excerpt from her website under FAQ. Evidently, she already knows about the suggested reversal formula. http://www.together.net/~rjstan/argyria_photos_intro.html
Is there a cure for argyria? I know of two dermatologists experimenting with laser therapy. One is Allison Vidimos, MD. The other is Martin J. Safko, MD. Dr. Vidimos has treated the entire faces of two argyric people. She and the two patients are very pleased with the results. I have spoken with all three. Dr. Safko has done a test patch on one argyric person. I have seen that myself and think that it looks like the patient's normal skin color. The treatment is experimental, painful and expensive. If you would like to know how to contact the doctors directly, please send me an email. There has been a "cure" touted on the Internet for a long time. It is the selenium - vitamin E "cure". Stan Jones was reportedly trying it. So far I have not heard that it has helped or harmed him. High doses of selenium are known to be toxic and there is preliminary evidence indicating that high amounts of vitamin E may also be bad for your health. There is no scientific reason to believe that this "cure" might work. I've tried unsuccessfully to track it down. I suspect that it may have originated with Mark Metcalf who posted a letter from an anonymous person who claims to have successfully used the "cure". Mark and I have corresponded about the matter. Mark posted our correspondence on his website along with a bunch of nasty, untrue statements about me. Nancy DeLise <[email protected]> wrote: That would be Rosemary Jacobs. She swears that her doctor back in 1930 or there about, gave her colloidal silver for her nose problems. The truth is she was given nose drops with PURE SILVER (Not CS) and she took it much longer than prescribed. We know that at that period in history doctors did prescribe prescriptions with powdered silver in it for various problems. Some members of our list have sent her the recipe to rid her body of the argyeria, but she will not respond nor do it since argyeria is her claim to fame. She has been on Good Morning America, as well as Ripley's Believe It Or Not among others. ----- Original Message ----- From: Deborah Gerard To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, March 11, 2006 11:11 PM Subject: Re: CS>argyria has anyone ever seen a woman that has her picture posted on a webpage somewhere who had developed argyria, she sure looks familiar to me...deb Carol Ann _______________________________ The Pessimist complains about the Wind; The Optimist expects it to change; The Realist adjusts the Sails. - The world needs more sailors. --------------------------------- Yahoo!
