The Tragic Reason Why One Man Actually Turned Blue Forever

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.

Clint Eastwood heartbroken by his family at age ninety-four. Fans are now in disbelief

The iconic actor’s daughter, Kathryn Eastwood, stirs up controversy on social media with an outburst.

At Clint Eastwood’s daughter Morgan Eastwood’s wedding in Carmel, California, over the weekend, a joyful celebration swiftly descended into an emotional maelstrom. Family strife that erupted during the event at Clint’s opulent house was a social media mess.

Another of Clint’s daughters, Kathryn Eastwood, shared a heartwarming video of herself dancing with her father, who is 94 years old. Her caption, “Had to dance with my dad for 50 f**king seconds before we were interrupted,” however, indicated underlying tensions. Kathryn began expressing her feelings publicly on the internet with this post, which was just the start of her online outburst over her family.

“I had to break up with my sister Morgan after her wedding because she’s so concerned with her reputation that she called me ‘insane’ online for the world to hear,” Kathryn said in a particularly emotional post that included Morgan. My capacity to become a mother and have children has been hampered by this, so I need to guard against this monster’s image-driven behavior to spare myself more grief.

Amid a family dispute, Dina Eastwood threatens to file a lawsuit.

When Dina, Kathryn’s stepmother and Clint’s ex-wife, threatened to take legal action if Kathryn didn’t take down the offensive posts, things got out of hand.

“I will give you until tomorrow morning, then I will use the money I stole from your father in your words and file a lawsuit against you,” Dina declared. In a defiant response, Kathryn called Dina a “gold digger” and implied that her fears about inheritance were the source of her actions.

Rather than back off, Kathryn called Morgan “the cruelest most shallow superficial woman I have ever known,” ratcheting up her insults.

What was supposed to be a happy event has been clouded by this well publicized family fight. With his aging and palpably fragile appearance, Clint Eastwood and his normally private family are becoming the focus of intense media scrutiny.
