> That is 100% incorrect. The picture was of [Paul Karason](http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/man-turned-blue-silver-dies-article-1.1466905) who famously promoted the use of colloidal silver. He recently died.

But, to be clear, from a heart attack that apparently had nothing to do with the colloidal silver. I wouldn’t take it, and I wouldn’t take it during pregnancy for sure, but it doesn’t seem to be - oh say - quacking yourself with mercury as the Victorians did.
