In early 2008 television news reports began being broadcast about a man named Paul Karason, who had, by his own admission, turned blue after drinking excessively large amounts of colloidal silver daily for over 12 years.

But in subsequent interviews with other television stations Mr. Karason explained that he had been drinking as many as 10 ounces of colloidal silver per day, sometimes doing so twice a day, for years on end.
