Question about blue man?!
Question: So I was watching the Today show this morning they interviewed a so-called "blue man" who had a silverish blue tint to his skin because of taking colloidal silver for dermatitis so this had me curios exactly what is dermatitas and what are the benefits of this colloidal silver ?

Hi Peeps. I researched this when that guy first appeared on the show about a month ago. Dermatitis is a one of many disorders of the skin. What he used it for isn't the real issue as the healing properties claims for it make it sound like a true miracle drug. Research has established that an antibiotic kills perhaps a half-dozen different disease organisms while silver kills some 650. Here are some excerpts from the web link shown below.
Rediscovery of Super Antibiotic
Colloidal silver appears to be a powerful, natural antibiotic and preventative against infections. The presence of colloidal silver near a virus, fungus, bacterium or any other single celled pathogen disables its oxygen metabolism enzyme, its chemical lung, so to speak. Within a few minutes, the pathogen suffocates and dies, and is cleared out of the body by the immune, lymphatic and elimination systems. Unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics, which destroy beneficial enzymes, colloidal silver leaves these tissue-cell enzymes intact. Thus colloidal silver is absolutely safe for humans.
Colloidal silver was in common use until 1938. Many remember their grandparents putting silver dollars in milk to prolong its freshness at room temperature. At the turn of the century, scientists had discovered that the body's most important fluids are colloidal in nature: suspended ultra-fine particles. Blood, for example, carries nutrition and oxygen to the body cells. This led to studies with colloidal silver. Prior to 1938, colloidal silver was used by physicians as a mainstream antibiotic treatment and was considered quite "high-tech." Production methods, however, were costly. The pharmaceutical industry moved in, causing colloidal research to be set aside.
Contemporary Research
While studying regeneration of limbs, spinal cords and organs in the late 1970s, Robert O. Becker, M.D., author of The Body Electric, discovered that silver ions promote bone growth and kill surrounding bacteria. The March 1978 issue of Science Digest, in an article, "Our Mightiest Germ Fighter," reported: "Thanks to eye-opening research, silver is emerging as a wonder of modern medicine. An antibiotic kills perhaps a half-dozen different disease organisms, but silver kills some 650. Resistant strains fail to develop. Moreover, silver is virtually non-toxic." The article ended with a quote by Dr. Harry Margraf, a biochemist and pioneering silver researcher who worked with the late Carl Moyer, M.D., chairman of Washington University's Department of Surgery in the 1970s: "Silver is the best all-around germ fighter we have."
For the "blue man" I'm no scientist so I have no idea...but, I definitely encourage the use of colloidal silver. I have used it for years. Best thing out there for just about any ailment. I use it for sore throats, cuts, scrapes, when I bump into a table to prevent bruising, I've even put a drop into my eye (diluted, of course) to ease the effects of my "cat allergy". My son calls me the "Silver Freak"! LOL. >^..^<
