Electro-physical potentials in the case of fine gold
Kothbauer assumes that the effect of gold implantation in acupuncture points in animals, which has been used successfully in veterinary medicine for more than 30 years, is based on electrical activity originating from the gold implants inserted in the muscle tissue around the treated joint. Since 24-carat gold only contains 99,95% gold, he investigated the therapeutic role of the remaining elements. In prepared blocks of veal in an acidic environment (resembling damaged and inflamed tissue) the electrical potential between an inserted electrode of 24-ct pure gold and another electrode of either 24-ct gold or 925 silver was measured both for not moved and moved electrodes. In the case of pure gold/pure gold electrodes the potential increased significantly from not moved to moved. In the case of pure gold/925 silver electrodes the potential was already significantly higher when not moved and increased further in motion. Kothbauer concludes that the accompanying elements in gold implants build up an electrical potential in an acidic environment and could contribute to pain mediators becoming less effective and that the described effect is increased in motion.
