Bogus Scientific Claims Made By Producers of Ionic Gold Solutions

The statements in bold are from an internet ad for Ionic Gold, an ionic gold solution produced by WaterOz and sold on the kormax.com website.

"Ionic gold at wholesale prices. 99.9999% pure liquid ionic gold in the form of gold hydroxide. A nearly 100% absorbable and 100% bioavailable form of gold. Hypoallergenic."

". . .pure liquid ionic gold in the form of gold hydroxide..." While the product is called Ionic Gold and it really is an ionic gold solution, the ad states that the anion is hydroxide. For this statement to be true gold hydroxide would have to be a water soluble salt of gold, which it is not. Gold hydroxide is not water soluble, meaning it does not dissolve in water. All hydroxides are insoluble EXCEPT those of ammonium, barium and alkali metal (Group I) cations. This misleading information is attempting to obscure the true nature of the anion content of this product. Laboratory testing by the Colloidal Science Laboratory, Inc. has determined that the anion is really chloride, which means this product is really gold chloride, not gold hydroxide.

"99.9999% pure" is stating the purity at six nines or .999999 purity. The technology to refine gold to six nines purity does not exist. If it did, the cost would be 100 to 500 greater than four nines purity (.9999) which is the industry accepted level of purity for such products.

The manufacturer (WaterOz) has confirmed that the metal purity used to produce their product is really three nines (0.999), but this does not deter the sales company from advertising six nines purity, obviously a complete fabrication.

"Metallic gold is toxic to humans, so true colloidal gold should never be consumed. Only ionic gold in liquid solution (or chelated colloidal gold) is safe for human consumption."

Metallic (colloidal) gold has a history of safe use in human medicine for well over one hundred years. There has never been a single report of toxicity from colloidal gold. A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for colloidal gold indicates it is totally non-toxic, unlike gold chloride (ionic gold) whose MSDS indicates the substance is potentially dangerous to humans.

Given the total fabrication of claims in these ads, one could easily call into question any product claim made by this advertiser.
