The woman who turned silver

there really is something here though. it does not seem to have any other serious side affects. i bet versions of this are used to change peoples identity. think about it. you could develop this to give a person any skin tone. i bet this is how michael jackson became white:)

that's so fu*kin' horrible.

It pisses me off when people who get bad reactions from excessive use of something stand out against it. It's the reason I can't have a casual cigarette in a bar, or I can't get salt on my fucking chips.

"Taking it will ruin your life"? I think she is an idiot.

Incidentally, I actually think she looks pretty cool like that. Fuck shouty little twats, enjoy your indiviuality. If you can make the kind of person who would tell you that looking at you makes them feel sick, feel sick, you have a respectable power.

My condolences, but I gotta take the chance at this one... She's a second place trophy wife!

She's feeling sorry for herself now but she should have read the bottle to begin with.

I've taken colloidal silver for 10 years...at the recommended dosage! You don't take it every day!

In fact colloidal silver saved my life when my heart was infected. The cardiologists just gave me antibiotics until they didn't work anymore, then shrugged their shoulders. I realized they couldn't care less if I lived or died so I got busy finding out how to treat myself. Too bad she listened to that doctor who obviously didn't have a clue what he was doing. I take hawthorn berries every day and no longer have to take the silver as my heart healed in spite of the cardiologists. I changed my diet and stick to it.

I have a tear in my heart from a car accident. If i can recover from this I'm sure others can too. Colloidal silver is used by millions of intelligent people who read the label. The others....well, they're not hard to see.

Eek, I'm sure that must have more detrimental health effects than the silver colouring as well, though I suppose silver isn't a toxic metal..

How could people be so cruel with their remarks? It's shocking.

I wonder how much she's worth.

She was 36 years old when that picture was taken (in 1978).

Aside from being silver, she looks pretty darned good for a 66-year-old woman. Tragic though.

I feel for her, I wish she could feel the love she most likely yearns for.

However I wouldn't mind being blue man.

Imagine if she had to have an MRI. It would kill her.

Very, very sad. My heart goes out to her.

KristinL, the caption under the photo (in the original article) says "Rosemary Jacobs in 1978 just before she received treatment for her condition.", so she was 36 years old when that picture was taken.

wait a minute-this photo must not go with the article...geez, if i can have that smooth of skin at age 66, i wouldnt mind a little silver tinge....

"Mrs Jacobs, who took her drops every other day for four years, said they were prescribed by a doctor for a possible allergy which caused a blocked nose."

Are you kidding me... why would you not seek a second opinion in a situation where you are being prescribed medication on such a regular basis. Further, I have no idea how a person does not notice a change in complexion, regardless of how gradual it is.

Wow, she is properly silver. Poor lady. Surely she's owed some *massive* chunk of compensation from the company that didn't warn patients of the medicine's side effects? I know that wouldn't help her skin, but it'd certainly make going on holiday a lot easier :)

When I first saw the picture, I thought it was a joke, but apparently it is real. It is crazy that such medications are sold without warning people about possible side-effects.

I saw an interview of the "Blue Man" recently, and he believes the silver extract cures certain ailments, so he continues to take the solution even if the symptoms would eventually disappear.
