Laser hair removal works MIRACLES for the hirsute! I used to have a MASSIVE mustache, sideburns and chin hair. I discovered laser hair removal and it CHANGED MY LIFE! It's awesome and really works. There's a machine for darker skin colors now, as well -- the older machines used to burn darker skin, but newer frequencies allow these lasers to work on even the darkest tones. You have to go many times to completely eliminate the hairiness (I went monthly for a year), but it is TOTALLY, TOTALLY worth it. Be sure your technician performs a test run on your first visit to see how your skin reacts before committing to a series of treatments. You wait two weeks and then proceed. This year, I'll be doing my bikini, underarms and, uh, a couple of other new locations. Money well spent!
I am tired of Dr. Oz being the "expert" on everything. Why can't Oprah have other doctors on who actually specialize in the fields they are talking about?
The last straw for me was when she had the football player on who was able to walk because of his team doctor. Dr. Oz sat on the stage with the player and talked while the actual life saving doctor was stuck in the front row.
Oprah there are other experts in the world, heck you are in Chicago and we have wonderful specialists here. Use some other experts and give all these heros the credit they are due!
i forget where, but i this is not the first time i have heard of this happening to someone. i think it may have been on some online home remedy site (i was looking for strep throat cures) but i do recall someone posting a warning about not using silver. it was something about a woman turning gray, not as blue as this guy. he looks pretty good, kinda like the shade of a smurf! if i had to be discolored in some way, i'd rather be bluish/purple than gray!
There is a book that all smokers, wanting to quit, should read. The title is ' The Easy Way to Stop Smoking' writen by Allen Carr. Please, please, please read this book.
I am now six months free from smoking. I did not 'white knuckle' it or go through any pain and suffering. There are several different titles now geared towards different groups of society who smoke. I belive the book I read was the original one. Even if you have already quit I still sugest you read this book. It explains why we smoke, I felt like a veil had been lifted.
Thanks

It was very interesting to see the Man who turned blue because it reminded me of a book I read a few years ago, Poor Miss Finch by Wilkie Collins. In this book a man turned blue as the result of a medical treatment but falls in love with a woman who is blind from cataracts who then gets a chance to be able to see again and he is not sure how to handle telling her about his condition. Very cool book and great to see that what I had imagined he looked like was similar to the Man who turned blue!
My half sister had the same "blue"condition. She is now deceased and was never as blue as this gentleman. Her coloring was atttributed also to taking colloidal silver. She also had a somewhat rare disease called Porphyria. I have no idea if there could have been a connection between the disease and the production of blue colored cells. The thought that comes to my mind is that her disease was a blood condition which produced too many Porphryia cells activated by exposure to sunlight. Dr. Oz mentioned sunlight playing a role in Paul's case. Perhaps, you could forward this email to Dr. Oz for his investigation.
The gentleman attempted to make his own colloidal silver but used impure water and did not follow proper lab procedures. So he made something besides colloidal silver. Properly processed CS has not been shown to cause adverse effects. Properly processed colloidal silver is an effective antibiotic which does not create "super-bugs" that are immune to it. And that is one good answer for Dr. Oz's question about why would one use CS instead of pharmaceutical antibiotics. MRSAs are probably the result of overuse of pharmaceutical antibiotics. CS also does not suppress or tax the immune system which many pharmaceuticals do.
Many, many people here and around the world use CS consistently with excellent results. It even kills many viruses, which antibiotics do not do. It kills mildew and molds and some fungi. I use it to sanitize counters and sinks in the kitchen. I spray it on vegetables to increase their lifespan in the fridge. I spray it on cuts for me and my pets. I use it in my neti pot and it gets rid of sinus infection quickly. As much as I respect and admire Dr. Oz, I am nevertheless disappointed at his lack of openness to this low cost, high value antibiotic which has been given a very bad rap by AMA misdirection and myth.
What was this man thinking drinking that stuff. He should have gone to his DR. Not drink something because his buddy thinks its ok.
I am a 32 year old woman and was a smoker for 10 years - well I am proud to say that I have been smoke free for 8 months and 17 days! I was asked recently why I new exactly how many months and days it had been since I ceased smoking. I asked the person if they had ever been a cigarette smoker to which they responded "No". I responded by saying that until you have been addicted to nicotine you wouldn't understand why I count days. I made the commitment this time to never have another cigarette again, just as an alcoholic can never drink again, a person addicted to nicotine cannot smoke again. I finally feel free - free from the burden and free from the addiction to nicotine, but continue to count the days to remind myself why I chose not to pick up a cigarette again. We all make choices and smoking is one of those choices - we can therefore chose to not smoke! Choosing to be a non-smoker was the best decision I ever made - a difficult decision but one that I am so glad I made. Anything worth doing is often a challenge but one that can be done - fight the urges, fight the temptation, and live! I continue to count my days that I have been smoke free as it reminds me of how far I have come and reminds me to never go back again. All behaviours can be started and ceased - what do you chose? Fight the fight and live the life God has given you!
Cheers,

Re: Dr. Oz Investigates the Man Who Turned Blue Feb 19, 2008 4:11 PM
I have been smoke free for over 10 months following 38 years of a pack a day. This is not my first attempt but it will be my last. I never want to go through those early days, weeks and months again. I know it's tough. Use any and all tools available to you - I used the patch and a very good book put out by the Cancer Society. I also have a support buddy who quit with me - we support each other. Do whatever it takes. I found the 3rd day, the 3rd week, the 3rd month the toughest for some reason, but I have turned the corner. It is finally easier. I know I am a "puff away from a pack a day", so I vow to never pick up another cigarette, no matter what. It is so worth the effort for so many reasons and as I tell myself often, "Quitting smoking never killed anybody." Just hang in there - it does get better.
