You may be shocked to see mercury, lead, copper, x-ray and other metals in the mix - remember, homœopathic versions of poisons have the opposite effect to the morbid state. If used in the correct medicinal state, they are not the poisons to be concerned about in health care. And because of the homœopathic potencies, this remedy helps to gently detoxify any possible metal build-up which is often the fear of using colloidal silver.
Golden eye ointment is not the only example. Gold was also used successfully in ancient China for measles & chickenpox. Ayurveda uses gold, copper, lead & mercury. Copper was used for headaches & wounds. Lead was used as an anti-microbial. Mercury was used to treat gout, syphilus & yellow fever.
A bright white soft ointment was used for years on burns victims called silver sulphur - it helped granulate and heal the tissue but also often removed the nerve pain & prevented infections. There are many fine examples of older and even modern medicines with these metals and rays. If used correctly, they are not poisonous but excellent healing additions to any protocol.
