During the 12th century, the Arabian medical practitioners valued gold highly for treating disorders of the heart. However, after its use by Arabian physicians, gold was not used medicinally till the early part of the 20th century when it was used for curing ailments, such as tuberculosis, and in blood examination for determining the sexually transmitted disease (STD) syphilis. Nowadays, gold is used in conventional medicine to treat rheumatoid arthritis as well as in treating cancer (I need to check this statement data). In effect, homeopathic physicians prescribe aurum met. for people who endure precise clinical complaints that may vary from depression to heart ailments.
In fact, even today physicians of different alternative forms of medicine consider metallic gold to possess healing attributes. In addition, a number of gold salts do possess anti-inflammatory attributes and are used in pharmaceuticals to treat arthritis and other analogous health conditions. Nevertheless, only the salts and radioisotopes of gold have been found to be of pharmaceutical value, since elemental or metallic gold is inactive to all chemicals that it comes across within the body.
I know..... wierd.
But I know for sure that colloidal silver is an antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, that is non irritating.
I used to put drops of it in Lucy's water for the first few months as a systemic antibiotic. She never had an infection again once I did that.(but I did do other pills as well)
If colloidal gold is similar (that's what this stuff is but in pretty small amounts...) but I also read that gold was and still is used today in the medical field.
It enhances circulation and if it does things like silver does it could start to fall into place. But I am far from saying anything on this yet. Sometimes a bread crumb is just a bread crumb, but sometimes it leads to more and then a path to something. I love Google!
Like chinese medicine using names and things for organs that really have no control over something in the real world what we know today doesn't make it invalid. The herbs still work for the things they said. I am wary of homeopathy in general and there in generally not enough evidence in trials that it works. But dogs don't have bias or need blind testing for stuff. Man, if something worked for somebody I will look into it and try to find some science behind it.
The depression aspect of it could fit because just on my limited research on autism spectrum and bipolar disorders - zinc, magnesium, calcium, and other minerals have to be in sync and in balance and some genetic subtypes do have inferior processing of these due to bad genes. Gold might affect something possibly in that complex process.
Clinical resolution of nasal aspergillosis following therapy with a homeopathic remedy in a dog.
Source
Wilmington Animal Hospital, Wilmington, DE, USA.Abstract
A 6 yr old, male, neutered Weimaraner was treated homeopathically for nasal aspergillosis after failing to respond to two treatments of topical (intranasal) clotrimazole and oral amoxicillin trihydrate/clavulanate potassium. Computed tomography, rhinoscopy, fungal culture, and cytology previously confirmed the diagnosis. At presentation for homeopathic treatment, the dog had aggressive left-sided sinusitis and rhinitis with destruction of nasal turbinates and severe bouts of epistaxis. Erosion and depigmentation of the nasal planum were evident. After two treatments with homeopathic aurum metallicum, resolution of clinical signs occurred and clearance of the aspergillosis organisms was documented by computed tomographic scan, rhinoscopy, and histopathology. Homeopathic aurum metallicum may be beneficial in treating cases of canine nasal aspergillosis.- PMID:

I am wondering if it might be helpful in both cases in this does something to immune system AND help symptoms/healing of nasal destruction. I have to research it lots but it's wild anyway to see something like this in NIHM.
And here is the separate case with photos
- A profuse, clear to opaque discharge from the nostrils that may alternate with episodes of nose bleeding.
- Ulcerations on the external part of the nose.
- Pain or discomfort in the nose or facial area.
There are three symptoms that are characteristic of aspergillosis (sure sounds like nasal cancer huh misdiagnosis can be common without extra tests) :
How is aspergillosis diagnosed?
There are several ways to obtain a positive diagnosis of aspergillosis. Swabs of the nasal area that are examined under the microscope are sometimes diagnostic, as are fungal cultures of the area. However, many times these fail to identify the organisms and could also be positive in a dog whose symptoms are not due to the Aspergillus; i.e., many normal animals may have Aspergillus in their nasal passages. Therefore, their use in detecting aspergillosis usually is not recommended. Radiographs (x-rays) of the sinuses and nasal areas often reveal a destruction of the bones in the sinuses.
The use of a small flexible bronchoscope to examine and obtain a biopsy of an infected area inside the nasal cavity or sinus is another effective diagnostic technique. There are also several blood tests including the AGID and ELISA tests that have given fairly accurate results and are a useful diagnostic tool.
Diagnosis is generally made through use of several of these diagnostic techniques. When a dog presents with nasal bleeding and discharge, it is important to differentiate between a tumor and aspergillosis. With a tumor, we rarely see ulcerations on the nose or nasal pain which are trademarks of aspergillosis.

Homeopathic remedy Aurum metallicum 30c is based on symptoms of bone necrosis including facial
bone necrosis, head pain, ulcerated nostrils, yellow and
malodorous nasal discharge, exostosis of the facial bones, and
aggravation from cold weather. (In Murphy’s Repertory, in
the Bones Chapter, Bones: decay, face, in–Aurum is the only remedy!)
Indiana never looked back! Over the course of the next few months, with occasional redosing of the remedy and an increase to 200c potency, all of his symptoms resolved: his depression, facial pain, nasal discharge, erosion of his planum nasale (the black “nose” on the dog), and destruction of the bones in his head. After the first homeopathic prescription, Indiana began to play with other dogs, readily using his mouth for the first time in months! Over one year later, Indiana remains a normal dog, with some scarring in his left nostril as the only sign that something had been wrong with him.

So, with just gold and colostrum, this dog got better? Wild.

My dog and cat both love it!, June 22, 2012

This review is from: Colostrum Plus
Desperate to avoid chemo therapy for my big ole boy I was turned on to
this product by a friend. It enhances an aging immune system and pets
will instinctively recognize the colostrum as something they need is
what I read. I'm not entirely sure if that was the case or if it was
because it smelled like cheese but my dog loves it. He didn't eat for
days after his chemo pill that his vet swore was "safe" and would give
little to no side effects...grrrr. Like I said, desperate to help him
after I poisoned him with "medicine" I ordered this product. Sprinkled a
couple of table spoons over his kibble and he ate it. First time in
days he ate his kibble. My cat is the pickiest spoiled bratt ever and
she even likes it. Then when I was feeling sick (from stress over my
dog's illness)and toxic, run down, and fluish I added a tablespoon to my
protein shake. It blends well and I didn't taste anything which was a
relief because I swear it smells like cheese haha. I did the same thing
the next morning and two days later I feel great and have more energy.
The benefits from this natural product is amazing. If you google the
benefits it does so much. As for my dog, I now have giant 8 year old
puppy :)
At this point I have no idea how this actually works....... yet

Uses
Homeopathic physicians generally prescribe Aurum metallicum (Aurum met.) for individuals suffering from mental ailments, for instance depression that is accompanied by suicidal thoughts. It has been found that individuals who require this homeopathic medication are usually very susceptible to their views and opinions being challenged by others and when such situations occur, they are likely to burst into anger (Bipolar?). At the same time, their appearance turns reddish and they begin to shudder. (it is known that certain metabolic problems with minerals and balancing of neurotransmitters that use those minerals in certain genetic subtypes - hence Lithium as example)In addition, Aurum met. is also given to augment blood circulation (this may help immune system get at harder to reach places like the nasal cavity...) that may result in blockage of blood in the head or other body parts, for instance, a headache accompanied by evident pounding in the temples.
In homeopathy, Aurum metallicum (Aurum met.) is also an effective medication for treating heart ailments. The heart ailments that are helped by this homeopathic remedy include difficulty in breathing or breathlessness, sporadic pain in the chest behind the breastbone, a sensation that the heart might stop functioning any moment, and a sensation that the blood vessels are hot. In addition, this homeopathic medication is also prescribed for people suffering from liver ailments, for instance jaundice, pain in the bones that is related to loss of bone wherein the bones are extremely susceptible to touch, and even sinus congestion.

- From Glen A. - Apr-06-2011
- My son had Tourrette's syndrome. (still a neurotransmitter imbalance problem) The very first remedy was aurum met. and within 4 hrs, my son was so
much better, it wasn't funny. I then knew that homeopathy was going to
cure him Well two yrs later my son is cured, with other remedies that
followed. Streptococcus was the last remedy, to have my son cured.
So this could work on cancer AND aspergillus. Some vets even misdiagnose one or the other because they don't get a biopsy. Treatment with all my stuff and this stuff might work either case.
