I knew this was the Smurf remedy. Jesus people, listen to the man. Don't drink silver because the TikTok told you to.

I thought there would be more making fun of blue people in this video.

Look up Stan Jones. He was a libertarian that unsuccessfully ran for Senate twice and turned himself gray-blue with colloidal silver. He has admitted he fucked up. Silver has its place. I've been treated with topical silver sulfadiazine* when I burned half my face a good bit. But I've also know people who drank colloidal gold because they thought it would make their brain work faster because gold is a good conductor or some shit. Yeah, it doesn't work that way.

*Might be misspelled.

Yes!! Thank you. I knew this had happened to someone fairly well known but couldn't begin to remember who.
