thought I'd add my two cents.
There was an ormus product called colloidal gold which was sold a while back. These things change names but it's basically white extracted gold which is the same thing. Someone decided to define the effects on this website here:

read the studies. They're all double blind studies performed to test IQ and performance enhancement. I quote:
Conclusion:
In this pilot study colloidal gold (Aurasol-tm) was found to be rapid acting (within one week) by reducing joint tenderness and swelling, without side effects, improved ones feeling of satisfaction in the ability to perform activities and reduce fatigue in 8 out of 10 patients with long standing erosive RA. The study will continue for one year. More definitive controlled trials should now be undertaken with colloidal gold.
Note:
The study has now completed its eighth month with all ten of the original patients still enrolled. The patients continue to do well with no significant side effects noted. This data is being compiled to be submitted for publication.

Knowlege is power, and this stuff does have an effect on IQ and fatigue. But my knowlege makes me think that if people start to use this as a panacea instead of a performance enhancer they'll have a lot of disappointment
