Germanium
* Cancer Treatment
* Candida
* Arthritis
* Oxygen deliverer
* Viral Infections

Germanium
is a trace element found in garlic, ginseng, chlorella and
various mushrooms. Although officially considered nonessential,
researchers have learned that the element might help treat
cancer, arthritis, osteoporosis, Candida albicans (yeast),
AIDS, and other viral infections.
Germanium
has the ability to stimulate immune function, supplement
tissue oxygen and help inhibit tumor development.
Japanese
scientist, Kazuhiko Asai, found that an intake of 100 to
300 milligrams of germanium per day improved many illnesses,
including rheumatoid arthritis, food allergies, elevated
cholesterol levels, chronic viral infections, cancer, and
AIDS.
Germanium
carries six (sesquioxide) oxygen molecules to whatever tissue
it reaches. In the case of cancer cells, which demand an
oxygen free environment to multiply, germanium favors the
growth of normal tissue over the invasive malignancy.
Research
shows that germanium, especially the sesquioxide, boosts
the immune system, wards off free radical damage, and helps
the body rid itself of immune-weakening toxins while generating
oxygen production inside tissue cells.
Germanium
is important for diets high in unsaturated fats, which,
although cholesterol lowering, deplete oxygen.
Sources:
Germanium is found in all organic material, of both plant
and animal origin. Foods containing the greatest concentrations
of germanium are broccoli, celery, garlic, shitake mushrooms,
milk, onions, rhubarb, sauerkraut and tomato juice.
Herb
Sources: Aloe vera, comfrey, ginseng and suma.
Precautions:
Germanium dixoide, germanium lactate citrate, and other
inferior versions are inexpensive and widely available but
potentially dangerous. They have been blamed for two deaths
and have been linked to cases of kidney damage. Pure Ge-132
is expensive, but has not been known to cause adverse effects.
Dosage
Ranges and Duration of Administration: Supplements are the
most reliable source of germanium. Consume only pure organic
germanium, at a dosage of 25-300 mg per day. The safest
form of the nutrient is germanium bis-carboxyethyl sesquioxide-132,
or Ge-132.
100-300
mg of germanium per day improves many illnesses including
rheumatoid arthritis, food allergies, elevated cholesterol,
candidiasis, chronic viral infections, cancer and AID
