Wait... I thought it was me the poster was talking to  Lets go back to that original post. I'm going to bold what I see as what appeared to be the most relevant passages that I responded to and that seem to have evolved into pure science since they were written. I think I will even change the font color to red

Searching articles on it I've also come across those on colloidal gold and it's supposed to be beneficial for a number of conditions, is a general tonic and aids mental focus and mood. Many people report a noticeable improvement on it, depression, rheumatism, overall exhaustion and weakened cognitive abilities etc seem to improve significantly.
There seems to be some controversy on safety but it's generally considered perfectly harmless if the metal is pure and if you don't overdo it with ingestion. It also has external uses, I've heard of some also using it in IVs under supervision.
Not sure whether I'm allowed to post a link but this is a description of colloidal gold uses (or you could google it, there seems to be loads on it):
"used to treat unstable mental and emotional states, such as depression, S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder), melancholy, sorrow, fear, despair, anguish, frustration, and suicidal tendencies.
A natural stimulant and rejuvenator for cells throughout the body, colloidal gold improves the transmission of electrical signals between nerve cells in the brain. In part, this may be because gold is a catalyst for endorphin-like hormones. Gold also enhances the antioxidant enzyme superoxide desmutase (SOD).
In recent times, colloidal gold has been used both separately and in combination with colloidal silver to help fight many forms of cancer, including prostate and ovarian cancer. It has been theorized that gold helps prevent the spread of cancer by essentially encapsulating cancer cells yet still allowing colloidal silver to penetrate the cells.
In July 1935, the medical periodical Clinical, Medicine & Surgery had an article titled "Colloidal Gold in Inoperable Cancer," which recognized the benefits of using colloidal gold against cancer. The author of the article, Edward H. Ochsner, M.D., Chicago-Consulting Surgeon, Augustana Hospital, stated:
"When the condition is hopeless, colloidal gold helps prolong life and makes life much more bearable, both to the patient and to those about them, because it shortens the period of terminal cachexia (general physical wasting and malnutrition usually associated with chronic disease) and greatly reduces pain and discomfort and the need of opiates (narcotics) in a majority of instances."
Colloidal gold is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent and is often used to ease the pains and swellings of arthritis, rheumatism, bursitis, and tendonitis. When combined with colloidal silver, it is particularly effective against some forms of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis.
Other traditional uses for colloidal gold have included using it for skin health, using it to rejuvenate sluggish organs and using it as a remedy for digestive disorders, circulatory problems, obesity and burns. In former times, gold was even used as an aphrodisiac.
Colloidal gold has been shown to help dogs in many of the same way it helps humans, particularly for joint and back problems such as canine hip dysplasia - where once again, it's best used in combination with colloidal silver. Dogs that are down in their backs will often show marked improvement within a few days when given a few teaspoons of colloidal silver and gold daily - sometimes displaying friskiness not seen in years."
I made that one blue because it's a direct quote from something written by one Tony Isaac who doesn't appear to have any qualifications, as a scientist or physician. I provide your source here... call it a footnote 
-Anyone with experience?
-Anyone made it themselves? Made ormus, perhaps?
The subject has my curiosity as from my understanding of metaphysics electroconductivity is key to "anything"- just wondering whether it works in practice

Okay, I believe it was Michanne who posted some links to actual scientific research. Other than possibly being useful in the treatment of cancer there doesn't appear to me to be anything else except folklore and anecdotes to back up any other claims. An article written by an MD in 1935 isn't something I would use to guide me in making an informed decision to place a foreign substance in my body. There were some pretty bizarre (and dangerous and ineffective) beliefs and treatments back in those days.
Okay... I've lost interest. It is snake oil in the original context/content of your post but you're free to believe otherwise.
