The world’s most famous blue man, Paul Karason, also dubbed Papa Smurf, was born as a fair-skinned, freckled boy with ginger hair. In the 2000s, he became an internet sensation and made many TV appearances, openly talking about his condition. Let’s find out together why Karason turned blue and how he became a cautionary tale.
Paul Karason had a skin condition that made his skin flake, as well as acid reflux and arthritis. Doing his own research in order to improve these ailments, he found out about a solution of silver in water, also known as colloidal silver.
Colloidal silver was widely used as an antibiotic back before penicillin was invented in the 1930s. It was banned in 1999 in over-the-counter medications after scientists found that it can severely damage internal organs.

Karason drank what he believed was a miracle cure for over 10 years. Moreover, he even began to apply a silver preparation directly to his skin; he claimed his acid reflux and arthritis just went away. “I had arthritis in my shoulders so bad I couldn’t pull a T-shirt off. And the next thing I knew, it was just gone,” he shared.
Due to the silver accumulation in his skin, he started to turn blue and suffered from a permanent and rare condition called argyria. Only when Karason met an old friend who asked him, “What have you done to yourself?” did he begin to realize he’d become blue.
Karason claimed his blue skin had many advantages — he never got sunburns or had to wear sunglasses. There were some side effects he did not appreciate, however, such as folks “being less than polite” to him. Moreover, Karason confessed he couldn’t get a job because of employers’ resistance to hiring “people that are blue or that are noticeably different.”
Sadly, Paul Karason passed away in 2013 when he was 62 years old due to heart complications.
Papa Smurf’s story serves as a valuable lesson about the importance of being careful when it comes to at-home remedies. While it’s natural to want to find easy solutions to health problems, it’s important to be aware that such remedies can sometimes pose serious risks. It’s always better to consult a doctor and follow their advice for a safe and effective treatment.

J6 Footage Proves Pelosi’s Security Guard Told Massive Lie…Full Details Here
Newly reIeased Capitol CCTV footage has raised serious doubts about the testimony provided by Special Agent David Lazarus, Nancy Pelosi’s head of security, during the Oath Keepers trial.
The footage, made public with the permission of House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), has cast a shadow of doubt over key cIaims made by the prose cution and raised troubling questions about the integrity of the entire case.
Lazarus was called in as a witness to corroborate another Capitol police officer’s account, which alleged an antagonistic encounter between Officer Harry Dunn and the Oath Keepers on January 6th.
However, the released footage appears to contradict Lazarus’s testimony, suggesting that he was not present at the scene and couId not have witnessed the events as described.
The media and Democrat poIiticians have unquestioningly relied on the testimonies of individuals such as Lazarus to paint the picture of the January 6th events. These narratives have been used to convict individuals, some of whom are now serving lengthy pri-son sentences.
Many individuals were charged with unlawfully entering restricted areas of the Capitol. This included charges for those who engaged in disorderly or disruptive conduct in the Capitol or on its grounds. Some faced charges for acts of vioIence or physical confrontation with law enforcement officers.
