What is Germanium?

Germanium is a metalloid element - atomic number 32, atomic mass 72.59 - found in soil and plants. It is found in concentrations of 4,189 ppm in Korean ginseng, 754 ppm in garlic, 124 ppm in the fruit of the matrimony vine, 152 ppm in comfrey, 257 ppm in Rhizoma Menispermae, respectively.

This element has an interesting anecdote associated with its discovery. Mendeleeff, the creator of the original periodic table of the elements, left the 32nd spot in the table blank, predicting the existence of an element that will fill it. About 20 years later, the German scientist Dr. Wingura discovered an element with the properties that Mendeleeff had predicted, and named it Germanium.

Germanium has 32 electrons, and when it reacts with another substance, it loses one of the 4 electrons in its valence shell, which leaves an empty space known as a positive hole; this creates a kind of a positive-charge "trap" that invites another electron to fill it. Here, a kind of hypothesis was set up based upon the idea that we can expect what is known in physiology as dehydrogenation. Depending on how one looks at it, a living body can be seen as an amalgam of tiny corpuscles of electricity. Each organ and part functions as its own particular assemblage. Because of this each part has its own electric potential, and disease is the result of positive and negative potentials being out of sync. Electroencephalographs and electrocardiographs are machines that identify problems by measuring changes in electric potential, and Germanium has wondrous effects in correcting imbalance in electric potential.

The electric potential of cancer cells, when examined closely, is dramatically different from that of normal cells. Because cancer cells multiply at a furious pace, their electric potentials are high, and undergo extremely rapid changes. Germanium, however, acts to lower the electric potentials of cancer cells by taking away their electrons. This is precisely the dehydrogenation reaction previously hypothesized; this is the reaction that suppresses the activities of abnormal(cancer) cells, and also what causes cancer from spreading.

Germanium, like silicone, is a semi-conductive element. An example of an application of its electrical properties was the transistor, which was the beginning of today's electronic calculators and audio equipment.

That Germanium is a semi-conductor and not a metal is a physiologically expedient phenomenon as well. This is because each cell, including blood, has semi-conductive characteristics, and since semiconductors cannot coexist due to their electrical properties, there needs to be no concern that Germanium will accumulate within the body; and the fact that it cannot accumulate in the body means that no matter how much Germanium is ingested over however long a period, there cannot be any side effects because Germanium is always discharged from the body.

Human beings ingest food to live. What's not absorbed is discharged as excrement, but what is absorbed by the digestive system is burned in the body through a myriad of processes, and is ultimately discharged from the body as carbon dioxide and water. That is, gaseous carbon bonds with oxygen and leaves the body as carbon dioxide during exhalation, and another gas, hydrogen ions, bonds with oxygen and is discharged as water in the form of sweat or urine. Hydrogen, at this point, is a positive ion and is useless to a living body - in fact it is harmful. With the increase of this hydrogen ion, the acidity increases, pH being the measure of this acidity. This hydrogen ion acidifies the body and becomes the cause of disease, and what neutralizes the hydrogen ions is oxygen. The hydrogen bonds with oxygen and becomes water, which is discharged from the body. As the amount of hydrogen in the body increases, the need for oxygen to neutralize the hydrogen increases.

When germanium is administered, it bonds with hydrogen in place of oxygen, and prevents the waste of oxygen in the body; this is how germanium helps the body's recovery and cell regeneration, playing a crucial role in maintaining the body's well being. "Germanium disappears from the body without a trace within 20-30 hours; large amounts of radical-laden germanium could be seen in the urine." Just from this we can see that side effects will not be a concern. Besides helping to discharge all kinds of harmful substances from the body in this way, germanium re-alkalinizes waste products that have already been acidified, promoting metabolism and greatly affecting the genes and bioactivity.

>>GERMANIUM ENHANCES THE BODY'S NATURAL HEALING POWERS Whether a drug is taken orally or by injection, in order for it to have the intended effect it must first be "absorbed" and reach the target cells or system. The speed of absorption depends on the quality of the drug or the method by which the drug is administered. The accepted theory is that hypodermic injection is quicker than oral administration, and that intravenous injection is quicker than hypodermic injection. When taken orally, powder is more quickly absorbed than coarse crystals. Next, in order for the absorbed drug to reach the cell and have the desired effect, it must be able to permeate through cell walls, which requires solubility. The drug must dissolve before finally mixing with blood and distributed throughout the body. The absorbed drug sets off active chemical changes within the body, especially in the liver. This change is called metastasis. No matter how good a drug's ingredients are, to a living body it is still foreign body. Thus a drug metastasizes in the liver, where its action winds down, and turns into a substance that can readily dissolve in water and be discharged. This is a kind of defensive mechanism for the body, which by instinct wants to detoxify the drug - a foreign body as far as it's concerned - and discharge it as quickly as possible. We need to keep in mind here that depending on the drug, metastasis can produce a harmful substance that causes side effects. In any case, when a drug is absorbed into the body in this way, some of it undergoes chemical change within the body and is transformed into another substance, and some of it carries out its intended purpose and is discharged from the body. Although undesirable, some of the drug deposited in the liver, the spleen, or another organ remains in the body for a long time, causing side effects.

Such absorption, metabolism, and excretion is known as general medicinal action, and in germanium's general medicinal test results, absorption and excretion were quick and there was almost no residue left in the body. That is, after being administered germanium was evenly distributed to each organ and served its purpose, and after 3 hours 90% was discharged through the urine, and after 12 hours almost no residue remained in the body. From this it can be concluded that there should be no concern that germanium will accumulate in the body and cause side effects. Also, based on tests on animals, germanium showed no medicinal action in healthy animals, while manifesting healing action in sick animals. This is germanium's biological attribute, and what is believed to be related to its effectiveness in lowering blood pressure, regulating the immune system, inducing interferon, and anticancer functions, which will be discussed later.

>>GERMANIUM AND ITS REGULATION OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM The method of curing diseases can be divided into two categories.

The first is the Western method of administering a drug directly to the source of the disease or a tissue, and the other is the method based on the eastern approach to medicine - curing disease by raising the level of the body's resistance to disease, raising the immunity levels that have declined with age, or correcting abnormalities in the immune system by suppressing hyperactive functions. Although it is not clearly known what causes various incurable diseases such as cancer, but it is suspected that these onset of these diseases and hyperactivity are caused by abnormalities in the immune system, based on the fact that the patients manifest immune deficiencies. A good example of this argument is AIDS.

Therefore, because immunity-enhancing treatment has been applied recently in treating cancer patients, medical treatment based on correcting immune-system abnormalities is receiving a great deal of attention. This is what is known as immunity modulation treatment, which uses an immunity-controlling agent. Preliminary studies in this field have found that germanium has an immunity-regulating effect, and recent research has suggested that germanium is linked to anti-cancer efficacy.

The experiment was conducted as follows. A group of mice were divided into subgroups according to age - 5-8 weeks, 13-18 weeks, and 30-40 weeks - and using a small amount of SRBC as an antigen, germanium was administered along with immunization; after 4 days, spleen cells were extracted from the mice and measured for PFC and studied. When the results were tallied, there was no increase in PFC in the 5-8 week old mice - which were expected to show normal immune responses - even after germanium was administered; in fact, there was even a decrease in PFC. This meant that germanium had no effect on these mice. But in older mice, 30-40 weeks old, whose immunity had drastically deteriorated, showed PFC increase levels nearly twice as high as the control group that did not receive germanium injections. From this we can see that germanium is not simply an immunity-reinforcing agent, but acts as a regulator of the immune system, lowering levels where the immune response is excessive while raising levels where the immune response has deteriorated.

Currently available drugs that regulate the immune-system include Levamisole, Penicillamine, and Sodium Aurothiomalate, and among these Levamisole is the most widely used. Levamisole, however, is known to have severe side effects, including agranulocytosis. Agranulocytosis is a disease characterized by a decrease in white blood cells; lymphocytes are present but granulocytes all but disappear, weakening resistance to viral infections, and the patient suffers from inflammation of the throat that is accompanied by high fever and pain.

Germanium does not have side effects that are associated with Lavamisole. It raises the body's immunity levels, which is effective in combating cancer, and prevents many other complications; it is a drug whose efficacy is anticipated in other areas besides cancer.

Germanium's Role

HOW DOES Germanium MAKE PAIN DISAPPEAR?

Because pain is a subjective phenomenon, it cannot be verified in animal tests. But the fact that Germanium has the effect of mitigating pain - apart from how helpful this actually is to the treatment - is a good sign. The only thing clear is that it does not merely numb the senses like morphine; that it induces the secretion of endorphin is the extent of what is known about its pain-killing effect. In real terms, pain disappears about 20 minutes after a large dosage, and even patients accustomed to morphine can stop using morphine within about 2 weeks. The use of morphine ultimately means anesthesia, and the senses remain numb as long as its effect lasts. Germanium, on the other hand, makes pain disappear but does not numb the senses, so other treatment methods can be tried as well.

Simply put, moxibustion is the act of scorching the surface of the skin with fire. When this happens the proteins on the surface decompose, and the decomposed proteins acquire a slight toxicity; when these proteins enter the bloodstream, blood cells react to produce interferon as a defense against their toxicity, counteracting against bigger diseases as a result.

Modern man, especially if he received a higher education, are often too accustomed to logical thinking, and have a tendency to dismiss anything that has not been proven scientifically. But to outright reject something even in the absence of contradicting evidence is to take a kind of dogmatic stance. It would be foolish to negate something just because it is beyond one's limited knowledge and scope of thinking. One must not dismiss a possibility simply because there is no evidence at hand.

Germanium, HERB MEDICINE, AND RADIATION
Although Germanium is produced by chemical methods, when we consider that it is used not for allopathic therapy but homeopathic therapy, it is closer to an herbal remedy than Western medicine; and when viewed in relation to herb medicine, herb medicine and Germanium have a synergistic relationship.

In modern medicine, there is the tendency to believe that the best remedy for any disease is finding out the cause and prescribing drugs and removal of the affected part. Thus, only visible stromal disorders that show up in tests are deemed to qualify as disease, while dysfunctions are not. In comparison, herb medicine aims to eliminate the cause itself, whatever the cause and wherever the affected area. Even if there are visible abnormal areas, if they do not really affect everyday life the ailment is considered cured. To give an extreme example, even if thorough examination revealed no abnormalities, if the patient complains of sleeplessness or pain, these dysfunctions are treated as disease. Herb medicine attempts to normalize the patient's symptoms by normalizing the surrounding conditions that caused the dysfunctions. This is the approach that characterizes herb medicine.

It is difficult to avoid the criticism that while Western medicine is objective and scientific, herb medicine is rather subjective and unscientific. But though a dysfunction may be a subjective phenomenon, it is a disease if the patient himself feels it is a dysfunction. This is not to say which approach is wrong or right, but rather to suggest that Western medicine and herb medicine must be mutually complementary.

Take cancer, for example. It's one thing if it's already too late for medical therapy, but if early detection and early surgical removal are the only courses of action relied upon, then a side effect would be the decline in the production of interferon, which mobilizes macrophages and other natural defender cells that serve as the infantry in the battle against cancer cells. Thus the absurd situation arises where the cancer is destroyed but the patient is killed in the process. This is because patients can go into germ-unleashing endocrine shock, with malfunctioning macrophages, and become susceptible to complications such as pneumonia.

When macrophages fail to function, it can lead to paralysis of the liver, which in turn leads to the accumulation of waste matter within the body. After an abdominal operation, no matter how simple, interferon production declines for about a week. This is because cortisone is produced as a reaction to the surgery, which suppresses the production of interferon.

In this respect, radiation therapy and anticancer drugs all have an effect on interferon production. The problem with all chemotherapy, including cancer therapy, is that they are unselective; radiation therapy, too, destroys normal cells along with the cancer cells. Cancer is not a disease that develops overnight or in a period of a few months, but a disease that develops over many years, caused by complex conditions. To hope to cure this disease with a few months' worth of surgery and medication is expecting too much. If the disease took a year to develop, give it 1 year until full recovery and if it took 10, then give it that much time as well; this kind of relaxed state of mind is essential in the battle against cancer.

How to take organic germanium powder

1) Put the dosage of organic germanium powder in the mouth and slowly dissolve with saliva before swallowing.

2) After putting the dosage in the mouth, gargle with a mouthful of water or juice and swallow.

3) Put the dosage of organic germanium powder in hot water(60°-80°C) and stir to dissolve, and drink it like tea.

4) Much better and quicker results can be expected when taken before every meal on an empty stomach, which increases the rate of digestion and absorption. (If, however, you have excess stomach acid, it is better to take it after meals. This is because organic germanium is an oxide and could irritate the empty stomach of a person with excess stomach acid.)

All three of the above methods of taking germanium are similar, but the third method is strongly recommended because it assures the fastest rate of absorption into the body.

CORRECT DOSAGE OF ORGANIC GERMANIUM POWDER, BY SYMPTOM
People who want to maintain health and fortify the immune system, people who want to guard against harmful electromagnetic waves, and people who want to raise their level of concentration: 1-2 doses per day(morning, night) on empty stomach, 1 spoonful each using included spoon.

**Spoon size: one full spoonful will amount to approximately 750 mg, but a heaping spoonful will be approximately 1000 mg
