Using alliance combats rheumatoid arthritis

Those who want to convince their partners to "formalize" the relationship, now have an argument that comes precisely as the ring finger: the alliance commitment protects rheumatoid arthritis, a disease that progressively damages the joints. Work in Italy and the United States showed that, among those suffering from the disease in their hands, one finger where the ring was used for development of gold showed no problem.

Beyond the surprising observation, this news confirmed what many people, somehow, it was already known through the "oral tradition" means the biological action of various metals, specifically copper, gold and bronze on the body. The effects range from the local area, as in this case, to the called system is operating in a specific item (such as the wrist, for example) and from there spread throughout the body.

Now researchers working in two ways: find out exactly how the gold interferes with the disease and how to expand their local activities to the rest of the joints of the body.
