Night Sweats, Obesity, and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
What are the benefits of
Mono-Atomic Colloidal Gold?
While
Colloidal Gold does not have the same germicidal/anti-bacterial action of
Colloidal Silver, Colloidal gold is known for its powers as an
anti-inflammatory and is reputed to be a powerful glandular rejuvenant with
life extension, raised brain function and I.Q. (Frontier Perspectives, Vol 7,
No 2, Fall 1998) and Pineal enhancing possibilities. It has been known to be
effective for easing the pains and swellings of arthritis, rheumatism,
bursitis, and tendonitis. In former times it was used as an aphrodisiac and
to quell the cravings for alcohol, and has been used as a remedy for
digestive disorders, circulatory problems, depression, obesity, and burns.
Gold is a catalyst for endorphin-like hormones as well as the antioxidant
enzyme SuperOxideDesmutase (SOD). Colloidal Gold is tasteless and non-toxic
Some traditional uses include treatments for
arthritis, skin ulcers, burns, impotence and certain nerve-end operations.
Gold can have a balancing and harmonizing effect on the body particularly
with regard to unstable mental and emotional states, such as depression, S.A.D.
(Seasonal Affective Disorder), melancholy, sorrow, fear, despair, anguish,
frustration, suicidal tendencies; the maladies commonly referred to as the
"sicknesses of the heart". Gold has been known down through the
ages to have a direct effect on the activities of the heart, helping to
improve blood circulation. It is known to be beneficial for rejuvenating
sluggish organs, especially the digestive system (constipation) and brain.
Gold has been used in cases of glandular and
nervous in-coordination, helping to rejuvenate the glands, stimulate the
nerves and release nervous pressure. The body's warmth mechanism may be
positively affected by gold, particularly in cases of chills, heat flashes,
night sweats and menopausal symptoms. A daily combination of silver and gold
mono-atomic water appears to support our bodies natural defense system
against disease and help promote renewed vitality and longevity.
Doctors Nilo Cairo and A. Brinckmann wrote a best
selling work entitled "Materia Medica", (Sao Paulo, Brazil, 19th
Edition, 1965), in which Colloidal Gold was listed as the number one remedy
against obesity. In July 1935, the medical periodical "Clinical,
Medicine & Surgery" had an article entitled "Colloidal Gold in
Inoperable Cancer" written by Edward H. Ochsner, M.D.,
Chicago-Consulting Surgeon, Augustana Hospital. He stated, "When the
condition is hopeless, Colloidal Gold helps prolong life and makes life much
more bearable, both to the patient and to those about them, because it
shortens the period of terminal cachexia (general physical wasting and
malnutrition usually associated with chronic disease) and greatly reduces
pain and discomfort and the need of opiates (narcotics) in a majority of
instances."
Colloidal
Gold has "strong unequaled effects" on physical, emotional and
mental health as well as.well as being
able to modulate metabolic, biochemical, immunological, and inflammatory pathogenic mechanisms.
CHRYSOTHERAPY
or Gold Drug Therapy has been used for therapeutic applications by the ancient Egyptian and Chinese
civilizations. Its effectiveness in antiquity is not known. The goals of Chrysotherapy have been
to reverse, inhibit or prevent the
pathogenic progression in rheumatoid arthritis that damages cartilage
bone and other connective tissues by
direct or indirect action of oxygen radicals and the inflammatory/immunological injury that
follows.
Other
conditions responding to Gold are:
Depression, Inflammation, Circulation, Pain, and Stress Relief,
immunoregulatory activity, inhibition
of infections (viral and bacterial), stabilization of collagen, and inhibition or release of lysosomal enzyme
activity. It creates a beneficial
balancing and harmonizing effect on the rhythmic balancing and healing
activity of the heart, improves blood
circulation, rejuvenates sluggish organs (especially the brain), assists the digestive system, as well as
promoting renewed VITALITY and
LONGEVITY. Colloidal Gold has been found useful in cases of glandular
and nervous incoordination because it helps to rejuvenate the glands and
stimulate the nerves. It helps release pressure, allowing the nerve
signals to function and transmit through to
the various organs and glands. Colloidal Gold also regulates body
temperature. Gold is a catalyst for
endorphin-like hormones, as well as the antioxidant enzyme SOD.

Effect
of Colloidal Metallic Gold
on Cognitive Functions: A Pilot Study
From "Journal of Frontier
Sciences"
Guy E. Abraham, MD; Souhaila A. McReynolds; Joel S. Dill, PhD
Optimox Corporation, Torrance, California
Abstract:
In order to evaluate the effect of colloidal metallic gold on cognitive
functions, the revised Wechsler Intelligence scales battery of tests (WAIS-R)
was administered to 5 subjects aged 15 to 45 years, before, after 4 weeks on
colloidal gold at 30 mg/day and again 1 to 3 months off the gold preparation.
The WAIS-R total scores (I.Q) were calculated by adding the sum of the verbal
test scores to the sum of the performance scores. After 4 weeks on colloidal
gold, there was a 20% increase in I.Q scores with mean + SE of 112.8 + 2.3
pre gold and 137 + 3.8, post gold (p <0.005). Both the performance and
verbal test scores contributed equally to this increase in I.Q scores. The
effect of the colloidal gold persisted in 3 subjects after 1 to 2 month off
gold, where as in 2 subjects who took the tests 3 months after stopping the
gold , I.Q scores were down to baseline levels.
Introduction:
It is generally accepted that intelligence or cognitive functioning is the
sum of many mental capacities. For this reason, tests that were developed to
measure intelligence quotient (I.Q) comprised a series of subtests evaluating
the several dimensions of intelligence. Of the several I.Q tests available,
educators have found that the Full Scale I.Q score of the Wechsler
intelligence scales (WIS) battery, which is calculated from the sum of the
individual scores of 11 tests, (6 verbal and 5 performance tests) is an excellent
predictor of academic achievement.1 The revised version of this I.Q test
(WAIS-R) has been used extensively to assess the effect of deficiencies and
supplementation of specific nutrients2,3 and the effects of sex, race, age
and education4-7 on mental performance.
Gold is a precious metal which belongs to the transition group I in the
periodic table and exists in nature in two basic forms: metallic gold and
gold salts. Metallic gold is non-toxic, used extensively in dentistry and is
widely available in colloidal form as a nutritional supplement for human
consumption. One of us (GEA) has observed a significant subjective
improvement of mental performance in 21 adult subjects after ingestion of a
preparation of colloidal metallic gold (Aurasol®) for 3 to 9 months at a
daily dosage of 15 mg of gold (unpublished). In order to use an objective and
more standardized approach in evaluating the effect of colloidal gold on
mental performance, the WAIS-R battery of tests7 was performed on 5 subjects
(4 females, 1 male) age 15-45 years, before, during and after the ingestion
of the same colloidal gold preparation at 30 mg/ day. The results suggest
that colloidal gold at 30 mg/day improved significantly the I.Q scores after
only one month of administration.
Materials and Methods:
Aqueous dispersion of colloidal metallic gold was prepared by a modification
of the citrate reduction method of Frens. The concentration of gold in this
preparation (Aurasol® ) was 30 mg per ounce of fluid.
Five subjects were recruited for this study ( 4 females and 1 male) with
ages ranging from 15 to 45 years. The subjects were evaluated using the
WAIS-R procedure.7 Verbal scores, performance scores and total scores (I.Q)
for each subject were calculated. The WAIS-R battery was performed on each
subject before gold administration, after ingesting 30 mg of colloidal gold
daily for one month, and again after being off the gold preparation for 1 to
3 months. The statistical significance of the data was assessed by Student's
paired t test.9
Results:
The group of tests called verbal are non-learning and therefore is not
influenced significantly by repetition. The performance tests can be learned
with repetition and this should be taken into consideration when evaluating
the results displayed in Table I. The mean scores + standard error (SE) were
respectively for pre- and post-gold administration: verbal 61.4 + 2.4 and
75.4 + 4.5 (p<0.005); performance 51.4 + 0.83 and 61.6 + 1.9 (p<0.01);
total scores (IQ) 112.8 + 2.3 and 137 + 3.8 (p<0.005). Since both the
verbal (non-learning and performance (learning) scores contributed equally to
the increased values observed in the total IQ scores following colloidal
gold, the positive effect of colloidal gold cannot be attributed solely to
learning the correct responses on the second test due to repetition.
It is of interest to note that in two subjects (#1 and #2) who repeated
the battery 3 months after stopping colloidal gold, the total IQ scores were
close to baseline pre-gold levels whereas, in 2 subjects who performed the
test 1 month after stopping the gold, (#3 and #5) and in one subject (#4) who
did so after 2 months off colloidal gold, the total IQ scores were still
elevated above baseline, suggesting that the effect of the gold on mental
performance has a carry-over of one to two months after stopping the use of
this preparation.
Discussion:
The WIS battery of tests is an excellent predictor of scholastic
performance.1 In fact, according to Lezak,10 the average scores on a WIS
battery provide just about as much information as do average scores on a
school report card. We have observed a significant increase (20%) of the mean
IQ scores in 5 subjects aged 15 to 45 years after only one month on oral
colloidal metallic gold at 30 mg/day. This effect persisted for up to 2
months following discontinuation of the gold preparation. To our knowledge,
this is the first study evaluating the effect of colloidal gold on mental
performance. Possible mechanisms of action of the colloidal gold preparation
are only speculative at this time. However, the potential applications of a
non-toxic colloidal metal with marked and rapid positive effect on mental
performance are without question of great practical value, not only in
scholastic performance but also in the workplace.
The encouraging results of this pilot study warrant further evaluation of
colloidal metallic gold in a larger number of subjects of different age
groups. Testing various amounts of gold would assist in quantifying the
response of the IQ tests in term of cumulative amount of gold ingested in
order to investigate a possible dose-response relationship. Using the
smallest amount of colloidal gold that results in a desirable effect on
mental performance and scholastic achievement would keep the cost of such a
program as low as possible.

Colloidal
Gold in the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) by Peter B.
Himmel, Jorge D. Flechas, Guy E. Abraham
Gold salts (aurothiolates) once the primary therapy for active RA has in
recent years declined in its use because of apparent lack of long term
efficacy, toxic side effects, and delayed onset of action. One of us (GEA)
postulated that the active ingredient in aurothiolates is colloidal gold
generated by in vivo disproportionation with subsequent clustering of
monoatomic gold, and that the side effects were due to the aurothiolates
themselves and the trivalent cationic gold generated from the
disproportionation. If this postulate is valid one would expect colloidal
gold [which is not gold salts] to have therapeutic effects in RA and devoid
of side effects.
Methods:
10 patients (6 female, 4 male; average age 50 +/- 3.16 (SE) with long
standing erosive RA ( 9 of 10 seropositive) were given an oral dose of 30
to 60 mg a day of colloidal gold (Aurasol-tm) for a period of 1 month. Clinical
exams were performed weekly and laboratory studies done on weeks 1, 2, 4.
Gold toxicity was evaluated by questioning the patient as to pruritus,
rashes, oral ulcers, metallic taste, GI disturbance. The blood was checked
for a drop in WBC, Hb, platelet count, BUN, creatinine or eosinophil
elevation; and urine for proteinuria. Efficacy was evaluated by an 86 Joint
Count Index scoring for joint tenderness and swelling: AM stiffness; the
Modified Health Assessment Questionnaire (MHAQII) by T. Pincus and an ESR.

How
Gold Salts Ease Pain Of Arthritis And Other Inflammatory Diseases
Science
Daily (Oct. 22, 2007) — Scientists at Duke University Medical Center may
have solved the mystery surrounding the healing properties of gold -- a
discovery they say may renew interest in gold salts as a treatment for
rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory diseases. Now that we have
identified at least one of the ways gold can help arthritis sufferers,
perhaps we can use that knowledge to build new and safer-acting, gold-based
treatments, says Pisetsky, a senior author of the study.

Gold
And Its Relationship To Neurological/Glandular Conditions: Reported by: Meridian Institute
The
affinity of gold for the nervous system and the implications of this for
the treatment of nervous disorders was remarked on by Keeley (1897): The
use of gold by the histologist to develop microscopical nerves may, perhaps,
be said to indicate that nerve fibre has a peculiar affinity for that
metal. The application of it in solution brings out nerves which otherwise
would be invisible. When the fact is recognized that absorption by lifeless
fibre is quite unlike assimilation or reconstruction of that which is
vitalized, then the development of lifeless microscopic nerves by asolution
of gold may be in part owing to some of the recondite forces which cause
the gold, taken into circulation, to reconstruct living ones Read the full Article
