Remember how a small time crook, Clive Maxton (Rob Schneider) changed into a girl (Rachel McAdams) overnight in The Hot Chick? Something like that has happened with Paul Karason. No, he did not turned into a girl over night but in fourteen years, his skin color changed from fair to blue. You must be thinking that he has attended somekind of paint to his body. No, he did not. It was a slow natural process which took fourteen years. What was the cause? According to Paul, 14 years ago he was suffering from dermatitis which was caused by stress. He started using colloidal silver after his condition had grown worse.
The change was so slow that Paul could not even recognize it. After several months an old friend of his noticed the change in his skin.
Paul’s life also changed with his skin color. People look at him in a different way now. Katu.com reports:
Whatever the cause, Karason said it is not easy living life as a blue man.
"I do tend to avoid public places as much as I can," he said.
Karason's girlfriend, Jackie Northrup, said she was surprised at first, but is now used to it.
"The only time now that I really think about it or notice it is if we're out in public and people start staring," she said.
Living in
"The only time now I really think about it or notice it if we're out in public and people start staring."
Paul moved to
"I hope that they just accept me and learn to like me. And I think that will happen here. Where I was, I rather doubt it would have. This is a different kind of community here," said Paul.
To treat his skin problem, Paul used colloidal silver.
Colloidal silver refers to microscopic particles of silver that are held in a liquid suspension. A colloid is technically defined as particles which remain suspended without forming an ionic, or dissolved solution. The broader commercial definition of colloidal silver includes products that contain various concentrations of ionic silver, silver colloids, ionic silver compounds or mild silver proteins in purified water. Colloidal silver with concentrations of 30 parts per million (ppm) or less are typically (but not always) manufactured using an electrolyte process, whereas colloidal silver with higher concentrations of 50 ppm or more are usually (but not always) either silver compounds such as silver chloride and silver iodide or are solutions that have been bound with a protein to disperse the particles. (Wikipedia)
Made by extracting silver from metal, into water with an electrical current, and drinking it, it's billed as something that will cure just about everything that ails you.
Paul swears by it.
"After it turned your skin blue, your still drinking it?"
"Yeah, but much less," said Paul.
Actually Paul doesn't believe drinking this potion caused the discoloration. He believes it happened because he rubbed it on his face to treat a skin problem.
In the end, you should not judge a man with his/skin color but his mind and heart. I hope the people in
