Scientists Use Gold Salt to Speed Up Antibiotics

For years now, the medical community has been telling us that we rely way too much on antibiotics. Of course, some members of this same medical community were the very ones prescribing so many antibiotics in the first place, but now it seems that they have changed their tune. As always, you do better when you know better. So while they thought that antibiotics would help improve some people’s health, doctors now know that you really can have too much of a good thing. Some people have actually experience adverse affects from taking too many antibiotics.

Scientists want to find alternatives and help us stop turning to antibiotics when we don't need them and they are looking to gold to help accomplish this change of habit. No, we can't use gold as a cure for what ails us medically--although if you get cash for gold after you sell gold to a gold buyer, you may feel better--but gold can speed up antibiotics. If scientists can make antibiotics more efficient by using gold, then those people who do need to take them, can take then in smaller amounts and for shorter periods of time.

At the National Chemical Laboratory in India, they are looking into how gold nanotechnology can help antibiotics get the job done quicker. Yes, it takes tiny particles of gold, not comparatively huge gold earrings or gold coins to complete this work. In fact, these researchers are working with something they refer to as "gold salt". They are mixing gold salt with antibiotics and water. The goal is to ensure that the antibiotic is absorbed by the body more efficiently. It also does not hurt that nanoparticles of gold have their own antibiotic properties as well. The gold nanoparticles support the antibiotics as the antibiotics are sent to targeted areas of the body.

Having tiny particle of gold as backup can make a big difference in how well antibiotics get the job done. For those of you who have gold to sell, you know that have some gold around as a backup can make a big difference when you need an infusion of cash.

Of course this gold salt method is still in experimental stages.There is no word on how soon they will have perfected this technique or when some people will be able to brag about having gold in their veins.
