Yes Sol,
My speculation was in naming the disease. I would be very interested to 
know of anything else that would fit the picture as we have it. Do you have 
any thoughts on this?

She must have had a disease or dis-ease or why would she have had 
doctors attending(plural)? Why was she given so much silver; enough to 
give her argyria? What else had she been prescribe or was taking?  Why 
did she have skin abrasion done? and why did the skin abrasion operation 
get botched? 

A prior question should be; was it silver that caused her to turn blue? And, 
is she really blue? 

While searching for something else I noticed the term "blue pus" and 
following that thread lead me to glanders/melioidosis. Blue pus could have 
been the cause of blue skin, right? 

I joined the Silver list a long time a go seeking for reasons NOT to make 
and sell colloidal silver generators. My questions were : Is colloidal silver a 
scam and can it cause harm? I definitely did not want to cause harm and 
did want to be aware of any psychodynamics. So Rosemary was perhaps 
one of the skeletons in the CS cupboard and I followed my thoughts for a 
while. I was left with some facts, she has blue, pockmarked skin. But I was 
also left with the fact that the pictures and information came from a 
Ripley's Believe it or not TV strip. An American chewing gum advert!!! Also 
that the movie colour had been doctored. Also that she looked as though 
she had had smallpox.

My guess today is that she was ill due to a contaminated vaccination or 
due to hugging a sick horse (or both). My guess is that antibiotics and the 
standard treatments of the day, including old time remedies  were tried. My 
guess is that as a result of the ilness/treatments she became pockmarked 
and scarred. My guess is that although the disease had subsided it had 
gone quiet and systemic, and that it flared up again when the 
dermabrasion was done. My guess is that the 'blue" colouration to her skin 
is also due to scarring and maybe poor circulation too.  

I'll also take a bet that Rosemary Jacobs is now still taking silver in one 
form or another to keep that organism (or cluster of organisms) at bay. 

I'd also stick my neck out a bit and take a bet that her symptoms would 
clear up if she took EIS while phasing out the silver compound; the 
premise being that the EIS would do the "natural silver germicide" against 
the offending organism/s and might reverse the argyria. According to 
Marshall, taking EIS would prevent argyria, and not cause argyria as a 
silver compound does. Anyway there is evidence that argyria could be 
reversed by taking H2O2. [ note EIS is electrically Isolated silver which is 
what we make with low voltage connected to two pieces of pure silver 
immersed in water ]

enough,
Tony Moody
