While Colloidal Gold does not have the same germicidal/antibacterial action as Colloidal Silver, Colloidal gold is thought to have powers as an anti-inflammatory and has been reported to be a glandular activator with life extension, raised brain function, and I.Q. and Pineal enhancing (Third Eye) possibilities, (see Frontier Perspectives Journal, Vol 7, No 2, Fall 1998). In former times crushed gold particles were used to quell the cravings for alcohol, and were 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 superoxide dismutase. Colloidal Gold in elemental metal form is tasteless and non-toxic. In Homeopathy and traditional Alchemy, a mixture of Silver and Gold was called Electrum.
