so, Renee Nouveau has an advanced degree in chemistry and biophysics, right? because she obviously downvoted that person as a result of her opinion based on appeal to authority, a classic logical fallacy. bring on the accountability, my logic is sound.

No one needs an advanced degree to spot pseudoscience. No advanced degree is required to learn how to do research and judge the credibility of claims and sources.
I do have a background in chemistry and biology. :D
do you even know what colloidal gold is or how to make it? what do you think of colloidal silver? many clinical trials there. nasa uses a form of it. it is showing up in socks, gloves, et cetera. have you actually done your own experiments or are you just saying you can, and looking it up on snopes? i have made it myself and have done my own double blind controlled experiments, and i can say i urge you to do the experiments yourself. wikipedia just won't do. i have had ongoing experiments over 5+ years. i have found some claims i cannot substantiate, but i'm not selling the stuff. i just got tired of hearing the pro and con sides call each other crazy or criminal. there is a sure way to know and, i can say, i know.
please look again.
If you claim it treats a disease, it needs to be approved by the FDA, which will validate your clinical trials and claims. If it's been approved to treat depression, BY the FDA, then please show me the proof of these claims. The onus is on the content creator to prove their claim if they are trying to state that they know of something that cures or treats a disease. It's not THAT hard to be published in a "scientific journal" (quotes because many of them are NOT very scientific). The difficulty is double-blind proofs of your claims being carried out by others. You show me THOSE published papers, along with FDA approval for treatment, and I'll believe that what you have is science. I'm not saying colloidal gold or silver dont have uses, just that they havent been proven for THAT use (treating depression).
i didn't claim anything. the FDA arrests people for telling the truth. all i said was if you want the truth do the experimentation for yourself. if you don't, then be my guest to use whatever deadly crap they are hawking this week. if you read closely you will see that i never once said it was good for depression. what i use it for is personal and doesn't have to be approved by any pretend authority. the FDA is anything but scientific. there is more proof of that than one person could go through in one lifetime. if you have not seen any it is because you believe the story you've been told and aren't looking at the evidence. it seems, that you will believe anything authority tells you and nothing i can say will change anything. just try not to hurt too many people with your ignorance.
I wouldn't throw around the FDA so carelessly. They're a corrupted authority and certainly far from the last word.
i just woke up, I must have missed it. got a link? im always up to see something like that. 8D
