"Health Experts Issue Warning on Deadly Risks of Trendy Blue Skin-Tinting Supplement"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Daily Mail

Experts are warning against the use of colloidal silver, a popular 'skin-healing' supplement, due to its potential to cause seizures, kidney damage, and turn the skin blue. Despite claims of miraculous wound-repairing properties, experts emphasize that the risks of using colloidal silver outweigh any potential benefits, with ingestion leading to serious adverse effects and even deaths. The FDA has long deemed colloidal silver unsafe and ineffective for any disease or condition, and its unregulated nature poses significant health risks.

'Super Melanin': The Future of Skin Healing and Sun Protection

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Medical Xpress

Scientists at Northwestern University have developed a synthetic melanin that mimics the natural melanin in human skin. When applied topically, the synthetic melanin accelerates wound healing and protects the skin from sun exposure and damage caused by sunburn or chemical burns. The synthetic melanin acts as a sponge, scavenging free radicals that can cause inflammation and cell damage. It also quiets the immune system, allowing for active healing. The cream could potentially be used for blisters and open sores, and may have applications in treating skin burns from radiation exposure and cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy.
