Stopping or discontinuing the use of gold therapy is the first line of treatment for Gold Toxicity. The treatment for arthritis using gold may be resumed, if the side effects improve and go away

Huh. I looked it up after reading this, and "gold salts" are used to treat rheumatoid arthritis (intramuscular injection or orally).
