Trem,

The original supplement was an aqueous dispersion as described. Some time
later the dispersion was dispensed with and the gold colloid (nano-fine
particles of gold) was compounded into tablet form, which is the now the
form of administration.

Frens and others developed a method of reducing gold salts with citrates to
produce gold colloids of reproducible nanometre size.

I'll ask anyone again.  Didn't get any response the first time around.

Frank or anyone,

Can you tell me what is meant by the "Aqueous dispersion of colloidal
metallic gold was prepared by a modification of the citrate reduction method
of Frens."  as mentioned in the colloidal gold/IQ thread discussed a week or
so ago regarding this URL?
http://www.belmarpharmacy.com/library/reference3.html

Did you also get the impression they were putting 3 - 10mg tablets into
water in order to make what they called an aqueous dispersion.


"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(r) ) was 30 mg per ounce of fluid."

Doing some checking on the product called Aurasol which calls itself
colloidal
gold turns up some very strange information.

This product is sold in tablet form. 30 tablets to a bottle. Each tablet
contains 10 mg of gold. Price $40.

The manufacturer is Biomicrotek(?) of Torrance CA.

If the gold was once in a colloid form, it is no longer a colloid when
reduced
to a tablet. It would seem the producer does not know the definition of a
colloid.
