Drinking colloidal silver is bad for you

Apparently this man named Paul Karason has been drinking “colloidal silver” for 14 years. According to wikipedia:
Colloidal silver refers to microscopic particles of silver that are held in a liquid suspension. A colloid is technically defined as particles which remain suspended without forming an ionic, or dissolved solution.
He says his face turned blue after rubbing it on his face. I think he is.. mistaken? Look at his hands and the back of his neck. The color is uniform. If he was manually dabbing, or rubbing, there wouldn’t be this level of uniformity. Plus, when silver was used in the past as a part of antibiotic delivery, there were documented cases of pigmentation alteration.
Paul clearly has Argyria.
Argyria (ISV from Greek: αργύρος argyros silver + -ia) is an extremely rare condition caused by the ingestion of elemental silver, silver dust or silver compounds. The most dramatic symptom of argyria is that the skin becomes blue or bluish-grey colored. Argyria may be found as generalized argyria or local argyria. Argyrosis is the corresponding condition related to the eye. The condition is believed to be permanent, but laser therapy may be helpful.
Drinking colloidal silver is bad for you.
Check out the video:
Yes, argyria (skin greying) is a very real side effect of excessive usage of colloidal silver.
But diabetes, pancreatitis and heart disease are very real side effects of excessive usage of sugar.
Cirrhosis of the liver and heart failure are very real side effects of the excessive usage of iron supplements. ‘
Kidney malfunction, calcification of soft tissue within the body, cellular toxicity and impaired immune function are very real side effects of excess usage of calcium.
Muscle pain, fatigue, irritability, depression, schizophrenia, fever, liver damage and anemia are very real side effects of the excessive usage of Vitamin A.
What’s more, DEATH is a very real side effect of the excessive usage of…water (it’s called “drowning”).
None of those side effects justify being afraid to use the substances mentioned. Why? Because the key phrase involved in each one is “excessive use.” When used in moderation, these substances are not only benign, but helpful. When used in excess, they can cause serious health consequences.
It is exactly the same with colloidal silver. If you use it in moderation it is completely harmless, and in fact extremely beneficial for boosting immunity and warding off infections of all sorts. It even helps the body heal from chronic degenerative diseases such as lupus, MS, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, Lyme disease and a host of others that often are caused by underlying hidden infections. But if used in excess daily over long periods of time, the result can be argyria, or skin-staining. It is a harmless, but cosmetically unappealing condition resulting from silver particles being pushed to the skin (the body’s third major organ of elimination) at which point they oxidize (or tarnish)from exposure to the sun.
Out of the estimated 10 million users of colloidal silver throughout North America, only a very small handful have been naive, ignorant or ill-informed enough to take such excessive quantities over such long periods of time to result in skin-staining. It is ridiculous to blame the substance for the mis-use by the person. That’s kinda like saying water is terrrible for you because several thousand people a year die in it due to drowning.

Great… so the only person here who is gonna say it’s good for you is someone apparently promoting their own little mixture of it, ya real believable. Glad you put this up here, I was actually looking into this as a cure for mononucleosis, luckily I found this article first.
