A 6100% markup? I suppose one could make that claim based on weight alone - if you overlook the hundreds of thousands of dollars in equipment and the overhead of having a facility and staff. Basing a markup claim on weight along, while perhaps technically accurate for the assayed value of the amount of gold in hand, also fails to take into account the vital importance of relative surface area.
If the size of the gold particles in home made gold solution versus that of commercial true colloidal gold particles is akin to that of basketballs or bowling balls versus BB's, then take the number of basketballs or BBs that will fill a 50 gallon drum and total their surface area up and then do the same with BBs. You will find that the smaller BBs have hundreds and perhaps even thousands of times more surface area and that is the same as is true in homemade ionic or dissolved metal solutions versus superior true colloids. When you look at it that way, the relative difference in cost (or actual value) is not nearly so dramatic as it appears by simply comparing the weight of the metals.
I have seen much the same arguments put forth about homemade silver versus true colloidal silver. The idea that someone could make an equal quality product with a nine volt battery and a glass of water to something that is made with advanced technology where the replacement element in a single one of three inline filters cost more than most home generators (over $300 per element, which are changed several times a year) is rediculous. You may be getting a much cheaper product, but you are also getting a much less effective product with far, far less surface area and, in the case of home made gold solutions, one that is possibly dangerous to ingest.
Yes, I am friends with the owner of Utopia Silver and have been since the second grade. I also know the owner of Purest Colloids pretty well. Because of that and my own research, I know a bit about colloidal metals. I also know how their colloidal metals are made and there is simply no comparison between their processes and any others I know of. If I were not friends and wanted colloidal gold, based on what I know I would still opt for either Utopia Silver or Purest Colloids because their gold products have the smallest particle sizes and are true colloids and because home made gold products and inferior commercial products are likely not actual colloids. Plus, they may very well contain gold chloride which is a neurotoxin.
As I posted earlier - if the end product you get is not a ruby colored liquid, then you do NOT have colloidal gold. Here is a way to test for the presence of gold chloride:
Put a small sample of the ionic gold solution in a clear glass and add one drop of a 1% silver nitrate solution. The presence of chloride is indicated by the formation of a white cloud in the liquid. The white cloud is silver chloride, an insoluble salt which is formed when silver ions combine with chloride ions. The formation of silver chloride proves that the solution being tested is gold chloride.
If the solution tests positive for gold chloride, then my advice would be to steer clear of it regardless of perceived cost benefits. On the other hand, if it does not test positive for gold chloride you might give it a try - just don't expect the same results you will get with the superior commercial gold true colloid products.
I am not sure how much "home made" gold one would have to take to get the same benefit of the normal dose of two teaspoons of colloidal gold, but I rather imagine it would take a lot - and the price of gold being what it is, that might add up to more than one might think. I note that if a person were to take two teaspoons of gold daily, a gallon of colloidal gold would last about a year.
Personally, I like and use both colloidal silver and colloidal gold - and I consider both to be safe. Even so, I don't take either silver or gold on a daily basis and when I do take either one of them I would rather put the smallest amount of any metal as possible into my body that would get the job done rather than opt for saving money and ingesting many times the amount needed otherwise.
