GREAT FALLS, Montana (AP) -- Montana's Libertarian candidate for Senate has 
turned blue from drinking a silver solution that he believed would protect him 
from disease.

Stan Jones,a 63-year-old business consultant and part-time college instructor, 
said he started taking colloidal silver in 1999 for fear that Y2K disruptions 
might lead to a shortage of antibiotics.

He made his own concoction by electrically charging a couple of silver wires in 
a glass of water.

His skin began turning blue-gray a year ago.
