I have a friend that used to get gold injections for severe arthritis. They no longer have gold for this use. He said that his arthritis hasn't been as much under control since he had to give up the gold shots. **** Your friend should be grateful that gold shots aren't being given to him anymore. I also had a friend who was given gold shots for severe arthritis. Thirty or forty years of them killed her kidneys -- and last year she had to have a kidney transplant. She was fortunate enough to find a donor -- otherwise she would have died. MA
