Colloidal Gold in the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
Modified on Jan 28, 2022
In these 2 pilot studies from 1997, colloidal gold was found to be rapid-acting (within one week) by reducing joint tenderness and swelling, without side effects, improving one's feeling of satisfaction in the ability to perform activities, and reducing fatigue.

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 to have therapeutic effects in RA and devoid of side effects.
