"Blue Man" on Oprah 02-19-08

[Jay62]

The "Blue Man" will be on today's Oprah show (Tuesday, February 19th). He suffers from a condition called argyria.

Many of you have read this gentleman's story on the internet or have seen him on television.

Habakkuk 2:2-3
The Just Live by Faith

2 Then the LORD answered me and said:
“ Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it.

3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.
Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.

I am pretty sure someone else posted on the Blue man earlier today.

[Kritters]

Yes, Jason 'twas I,

Yep. He's blue alright! Dr Oz was having a look-see at his blood after the show. He was drinking Nutri-silver daily from 12 oz (?) tumblers. But he said he didn't turn blue until he began applying it topically.

Now he's blue

will he always be blue??? did they say?

[2manyfibers]

He's like me ladies..........He'll always be blue without you!

- Sorry.....couldn't resist that one

And yes Jo, he will always be blue (with or without you and a bit more literally than me) - argyria (blue skin from a build-up of silver in the body tissue) is a permanent condition.

[Jo]

cute 2many, very cute

[Kritters]

you beat me to it, 2many! I was gonna say he'll be blue until someone really cheers him up. But what a nice thing for you to say

Here's a question though....isn't tissue replaced continually? Cells die and are replaced in the skin, correct?

Dang Kritters When I hit post on my computer, You and Jason were the only two responses to Buggedout's post. When it posted Jo, 2many, Jo again, You again, and Carla were all before me I'm surprised that didn't cause somekind of forum, I know I need to say congestion, but I really want to say constipation
