Dr. Stephen Levine, Renowned Molecular Biologist and Geneticist Author, "Oxygen Deficiency: A Concomitant to All Degenerative Illness": "In all serious disease states we find a concomitant low oxygen state...Low oxygen in the body tissues is a sure indicator for disease...Hypoxia, or lack of oxygen in the tissues, is the fundamental cause for all degenerative disease. Oxygen is the source of life to all cells."
ORGANIC Germanium facilitates the movement of oxygen across cellular membranes to deliver oxygen into the cells. Dr. Otto Warburg, Nobel prize-winning cancer researcher, discovered that cancer cells do not metabolize oxygen properly. Flooding cells with oxygen may retard the growth of cancer cells or even help return them to normal.
A study published in the Journal of Interferon Research, concluded "...organic germanium restores the normal function of T-cells, B-lymphocytes, natural killer cell activity, and the numbers of antibody-forming cells.... Organic germanium has unique physiological activities without any significant side effects."
Germanium has been used to treat depression, arthritis, vision problems, elevated blood pressure, heavy metal poisoning, and cancer.
Germanium was found in fossilized plants as well as in some foods,
certain mineral waters, and in healing plants and herbs. However, it
took many decades of persistent research to identify and confirm the
healing properties of this mineral.
Japanese researcher, Dr. Asai who dedicated more than thirty years to
the investigation of germanium, found out that some plants and mineral
waters that are well known for their therapeutic properties also contain
relatively high concentrations of germanium. The list includes garlic,
broccoli, celery, aloe vera, comfrey, chlorella algae, ginseng,
watercress, pearl barley, and shiitake mushrooms. The content of
germanium in these plants depends on the soil in which they were grown.
In 1967 Dr. Asai synthesized a new compound that received the name
"organic germanium" or germanium-132 (bis-carboxyethyl germanium
sesquioxide). Although this compound was created in the laboratory, it
is called organic because it contains carbon atoms just like any other
organic substance.
Unlike its non-organic counterpart which causes serious damage to
kidneys, organic germanium is well known for its health benefits. The
research shows that organic germanium
- stimulates immune system and activates body's own defense mechanisms
- fights free radicals
- chelates some heavy metals
- may assist improved vision
- increases the flow of oxygen in the body
- improves skin conditions if applied topically as an ointment
Verified clinical research confirms both the safety and the efficacy of ORGANIC Germanium. (Remember there is a difference between ORGANIC and non-organic. the ORGANIC kind is perfectly safe and nontoxic. But if it is as good as some think, then big pharma wants to spread confusion on the subject of its safety.)
Regular intake of organic germanium may alleviate many health concerns
and possibly slow the aging process because it supplies additional oxygen. In Japan and in Russia organic germanium is
used in alternative cancer therapies because of its ability to modify
the body's biological response to tumors.
Most chronic diseases start quietly on a cellular level. Cellular injury
affects the cell's ability to maintain a steady, normal, or adaptive
homeostasis. Homeostasis is the ability to compensate for any changes
caused by physical, emotional, or environmental stress. Homeostasis is
the necessary condition for optimal health.
Lack of sufficient oxygen
supply to the cells is considered to be the primary cause of cellular
injury. Cells die when they do not have sufficient oxygen supply. The
only cells that thrive without cellular oxygen are the cancer cells.
"Cancer, above all other diseases, has countless secondary causes. But even for cancer, there is only one prime cause. Summarized in a few words, the prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by the abnormal process of the cancer cell." - Otto Warburg--Two-time Nobel Laureate, Winner of the Nobel Prize for Cancer Research:
Since organic germanium is known to enhance the oxygen supply to the
cells, it may be considered the supplement of choice in cancer
prevention and in cancer therapy.
Researchers also confirmed that organic germanium increased production
of the interferon in the body. Interferon is produced by the leukocytes
in the presence of pathogens. This probably is the reason why germanium
is so effective in fighting off viruses as well as the tumor cells.
A
study published in the Journal of Interferon Research* concluded
that "Organic germanium restores the normal function of T-cells,
B-lymphocytes, natural killer cell activity, and the numbers of
antibody-forming cells. Organic germanium has unique physiological
activities without any significant side effects."
Dosage
Suggested preventive daily dose of organic germanium
is 100 mg. If needed the dose can be increased gradually to 1000mg per
day. Dr. Asai administered a daily dose of 1000-2500 mg daily to
seriously ill patients. Organic germanium is considered to be non-toxic
and can be taken over a longer period of time. It is normally dispelled
from the body via the digestive and the urinary tracts within twenty to
thirty hours after ingestion.
It is important to remember, however, that organic germanium accelerates
the detoxification processes and may cause Herxhaimer** reaction in
sensitive individuals if taken in very high doses.
