The first to have created the colloidal gold solution of our times was the 16th century alchemist Paracelsus who believed in the healing powers of this precious mineral. Paracelsus associated gold with the sun, and considered it as charged with positive energy that could purify and cleanse all the residual matter. The great chemical discovery was that gold could become a very active mineral with improved properties when fragmented to very small particles that get suspended in ionized water. The resulting reaction surface is a lot larger; hence the impressive features of this precious metal.
After studying the work of Paracelsus, the 19th century British scientist Michael Faraday created his own colloidal gold solutions finding new utilitarian features associated with it. The discovery that colloidal gold inhibits bacterial growth brought a Nobel Prize to the German scientist, Robert Koch. The chemical compound is easily tolerated by the body since gold gives absolutely no toxic reaction when administered internally. Moreover, we’re are talking about a mineral that neither corrodes nor tarnishes and which has almost no chemical reactions with the chemical body substances.
Nowadays, gold and its colloids have a whole range of medical applications recognized by traditional and alternative medicine at the same time. Surgeons use gold nets to re-construct nerves, bones, membranes, tissues and blood vessels. Injections with microscopic forms of gold together with administration of oral colloidal gold have proved efficient in the treatment of prostrate cancer in men and women. There are several medical processes in the experiment form, as gold is tested as a cure for AIDs and cancer as well. Classical medicine has finally come to admit that ancient remedies such as silver and gold in various compounds remain highly valid beyond millennia.
