Become A Smurf With Colloidal Silver Quack Gadgets

Colloidal silver, a quack health supplement, has but one genuine benefit: it may turn your skin a pleasant slate blue. Permanently.
One must take it for years, however, to achieve the desired effect: a good way is to buy one of the many gadgets that infuse everyday water with the substance, then drink it regularly. This causes a condition called Argyria: silver-laden skin. There are no serious side effects either, according to most sources.
Real-life smurfs include Paul Karason, pictured, and Libertarian senatorial aspirant Stan Jones. Naturally, if you don't want to end up looking like a Belgian cartoon communist, lay off the colloidal silver.

Not sure, if you heard that story, but I have seen a report on that man about two weeks ago.
