It has long been 'known' that injections of pure gold are useful in treating osteoarthritis. So, in recognition of the need for good medical health, the Romneys possess and use gold bathtubs for their nightly ablutions. Of course, since this is a medical expense, these six-hundred pound bathtubs fabricated from 18 carat gold are completely tax-deductible. And of course, the return will not be released because they have already released 500 pages.

(25,583 posts)it was an empirical treatment...no one knew the mechanism for certain but there were a lot of theories.
WD-40 works too...no lie, it helps arthritis but will give you cancer instead.

(47,675 posts)You aren't going to absorb anything by sitting in a gold-lined bathtub. It won't react with water or damn near anything else. It might be pretty, but epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) are a shitload cheaper and they actually work.
