Monoatomic Gold is something that's caught my attention recently. There are some people on Youtube and various forums reporting that this stuff is a real anti-aging agent. And there's some pretty compelling anecdotal evidence for that but I remain very skeptical of it for some reasons I'll outline below.
Sean Adam of the Alpha Learning Institute really believes in this stuff and conducted a 10 person trial back in the 90's.
In five out of ten cases, the biological signals were different before and after administration of Etherium Gold. In nine out of ten cases, the brainwave patterns were found to be significantly different after administration of the Etherium Gold. In almost all cases, this difference occurred between 30 seconds and 3 minutes after administration and continued to be evident for the rest of the recording session, which was between 10 and 15 minutes.
This has been an introductory examination of the impact of Etherium Gold on the biological and neurological states of humans. The results indicate that there is a clear need for research in this area because an impact is definitely occurring. The impact seems to be less obvious in the biological measurements than in the neurological, at least in the subjects examined. Taken as a whole, they seem to indicate that individuals become more balanced and calm after administration of Etherium Gold. The changes in GSR indicate a decrease in emotional reactivity. The increased finger temperature is an indicator of increased peripheral circulation which indicates greater relaxation.
Neurological changes were distinctly different in each case but with common themes. Subjects fell into three basic categories of predominant brainwave activity, according to baseline measurements:
- High theta - low beta
- High beta - low theta
- Balanced between theta and beta
The researcher concluded
Therefore, we could say that Etherium Gold tends toward helping people become more "whole brained".
It would take other, more in-depth, studies to determine the consistency of these results as well as how long the effects last, and if there is some kind of cumulative effects of repeated administration. A surprising, but clearly dominant, effect of taking the Etherium Gold was the increase in relative "neurological energy" across all frequency bands. Apparently, the Etherium Gold somehow has the effect of energizing or opening up neuronal passageways. This preliminary study was clear evidence that there is a positive neurological impact, at least temporarily, through the administration of Etherium Gold.
It's also called Ormus or Etherium Gold and unfortunately, it seems to be really popular with the wu-wu pyramids and flying saucers crowd. The Youtube videos about it have a disappointing amount of meta-physical psuedo-spiritual mumbo-jumbo.
Here's what makes me skeptical of this stuff
- I could find nothing on Pubmed evaluating the ostensible health benefits.
- The Monoatomic Gold "experts" who promote the stuff are hardcore wu-wu pseudo-spiritual types.
- It was more or less discovered in 1970 and given the great ostensible benefits of the stuff I would expect it to have made it into the mainstream by this time, yet it's still very much in the fringe of Internet wackiness.
- The Youtube testimonials for it all look like placebo effect cases. Their descriptions of the health benefits are really generic.
But on the other hand, there are some great plant and natural medicines out there that don't get the attention they deserve because they are unpatented and no institution wants to shell out the six figures to do a human trial.
I don't think we should discount every supplement for NOT having double, blind placebo controlled studient; look at for example Noopept or Kratom, many people find these to be very helpful Nootropics or performance enhancers but because of the politics and bureaucracy of science nobody has gotten around to doing proper studies on them.
It irritates me that sometimes there maybe a medicine or supplement in need of further research but these nutty "spiritual" people on the Internet sensationalize it to the point were no respectable researcher or institute will consider doing anti-aging research on it.
Although, I'd be willing to try it...
Can anyone with much chemical or metallurgical expertise comment on the veracity of the idea of Monoatomic gold?
Is it pure silliness or does it make much sense?
Has anyone tried this stuff?
How does it compare to Nootropics?
