No offense taken Neurochic. Thanks for making sure the record was straight on the gold coated goodies. Yes, those are okay...and pretty.

I was concerned about the colloidal since they could potentially be gold "salts" like those used to treat arthritis, which can be unsafe. And with treatments/preparations that aren't regulated it can be very difficult to know what you're really getting. There's been enough of a problem even with supplements and herbals to warrant caution. I agree about doing your research. Always wise.
