Is the Blue man a fraud? Doctors don’t think so, but the colloidal silver industry is trying desperately to make Mr. Paul Karason out to be just that, if not just representing him as someone who was not very knowledgeable about the uses of silver solutions in general.

For those who aren’t aware, I posted on colloidal silver just a few weeks ago. At the time, I had no knowledge of the skin condition called argyria from which Mr. Karason suffers. The condition is known to be caused by the use of silver solutions. The colloidal silver industry is trying desperately to state that it was the use of ionic silver and not colloidal silver that caused Paul’s skin condition.

Where do I stand on this? I’m not sure. Mr. Karason does not believe that ingesting the silver caused his condition. As a matter of fact, he claims that the solution has helped him with a variety of other debilitating problems and is still taking the solution, though on a much reduced basis.

The colloidal silver industry’s response however, leads me to think that there may be more to what the doctors are saying than they would like us to believe. As a matter of fact, their statement (first link in this post) reads more like a propaganda paper from a less than savory organization. I’d like to think that this response is knee jerk at best, and that the wording will be changed at a later date, but the fact that it was published at all makes me more than a bit hesitant to believe the ret of their claims.

So, dear readers, as with any other supplement that you plan to take, please, please. Please! Consult your doctor or medical practitioner. Your health and safety are always my primary concern, and I will never knowingly steer you toward something that might damage your health. (Or just turn your skin blue!)
