I'm refusing to read the article.
But how the heck are you injecting gold? Did he melt it, crushed it - actually just used gold nail polish?
That sounds a lot of work towards a terrible idea.

also the fact that gold is relatively inert, it wouldnt react with you, if its salts, its usually somewhat poisonious

He superheated it with water, then used a metal device to break it down, then stuck it in a slow-heated combination of several other elements.

Wait, no sorry I'm thinking of taters, precious.
