Gold has long been used for medicinal purposes. It has strong unequaled effects on the physical body, in areas of health and in sickness. Around 1885, Colloidal Gold was commonly used in the US as the basis for the cure of dipsomania (uncontrollable craving for alcoholic liquors). Since then, some traditional uses include treatments for arthritis, skin ulcers, burns, certain nerve-end operations and various types of punctures.
While Colloidal Gold does not have the same germicidal/anti-bacterial action of Colloidal Silver, it can have a balancing and harmonizing effect on the body particularly with regard to unstable mental and emotional states, such as depression, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), melancholy, sorrow, fear, despair, anguish, frustration, suicidal tendencies...the maladies commonly referred to as the "sicknesses of the heart".
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 and night sweats.
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., B.S., F.A.C.S., 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." Gold-Max - very good colloidal gold information, but pricey.
