Absolutely not—the idea that you or your pet will turn blue from using colloidal silver is simply unfounded in the context of responsibly formulated products like ours.

Some misinformed people from articles they read, believe this info from the internet about colloidal silver. Mostly this is all to spread misinformation. Often saying you can turn blue from drinking Colloidal Silver, which is one of the medical industries favorite lies about CS. This info, based on partial internet sources, may spread the idea that you will actually turn blue from using colloidal silver. That narrative—often perpetuated by medical-industry rhetoric—fails to account for the difference between unregulated homemade brews and responsibly formulated products.

What’s really behind the “blue skin” story
There is a condition known as argyria — when someone uses extremely high-levels of poorly produced colloidal silver over a very long time, their skin can turn a bluish-gray color. This is associated with homemade solutions, high concentrations, or unknown silver compounds.

Why this doesn’t apply to our HighVibe Silver

• Most of the “turning blue” stories involve very high concentrations and uncontrolled DIY formulas.

• At HolisticPetCare our HighVibe Silver is carefully produced, with clarity and intention.

• Our silver is for the most part clear, but can have a faint rosy, lightly golden or slightly greyish tint due to weather, light and other conditions but never thick, cloudy or murky looking. It is formulated for pets and their humans, and designed to align with a high-vibe lifestyle and frequency alchemy.

• The fear-based statement “silver will turn you or your pet blue” is a generalised myth that doesn’t reflect the quality, form and dosing of responsibly made products.

What pet parents really want to know

• If you choose a well-made silver product, used correctly, the risk of blue-skin discolouration from normal use is not ever going to happen.

• Transparency matters: what form of silver is used, what concentration (ppm) is listed, how it’s manufactured? These help ensure you’re using a product aligned with your holistic high-vibe values.

• As with anything you introduce to your pet’s routine, make sure the product comes from a trusted source that honours clarity, intention and integrity — much like your own approach to pets, frequency and holistic care.

Why it matters for you, the pet parent

• Your pets are your high-vibe companions. Offering them a product that honours clarity, purpose and safety reinforces our whole mission: raising vibration, supporting wellness, nurturing the body-spirit connection.

Addressing common fears (like “Will this turn my pet blue?”) honestly builds trust with your friends and family concerned about something they heard about the 'Blue man'. When you speak from a place of knowledge, love and transparency, you elevate not just a product, but a movement of conscious pet care.

Ah yes, the famous ‘Blue Man’ — Paul Karason (often called “Papa Smurf”) from California. He openly admitted to making a very high-concentration colloidal silver solution using tap water plus salt to speed up the process. He said he was drinking between 10 to 20 ounces per day of this saline-accelerated silver solution — nonstop for over ten years — before his facial skin began to turn blue. He was actually trying to turn blue. 

This wasn’t some mild dose. His homemade brew was far, far more concentrated than typical commercial colloidal silver (based on visuals he showed, I’d estimate about ~100 ppm or higher — roughly ten times what normal products might be). He consumed that daily for about 14 years.

Papa Smurf eventually died of a heart attack (vitamin E deficiency was noted). He brewed one pint (500 ml) of this dark, muddy silver solution each hour using tap water and a 30-volt device, then drank it every day for 14 years (he later admitted part of his goal was to turn blue). He apparently didn’t get sick in that time, but the skin discoloration (argyria) took serious commitment—constant dosing, high concentration, and years of use. It’s not something you will accidentally cause.

Bottom line
The dramatic “turn blue” risk for colloidal silver comes from extreme misuse — unregulated formulas, very high doses, unknown compounds, long-term overuse. When you use a clear, responsibly made product like HighVibe Silver — and use it with intention, proper dosing and transparency — you and your pets can enjoy the frequency of long term, regular usage and support without fear of turning blue.
