This is a Summary of my many hours of research on Organic Germanium:
Organic Germanium (Ge-132) is a mineral. Several biological properties have been associated with Ge-132, including interferon induction, immunomodulating activity and antitumor efficacy as well as other biological activities without any toxicity. Its abundant presence in many of the oriental herbs used in ancient medicinal practices emphasizes the significance of this element: chlorella, ginseng, aloe vera, garlic, suma, shiitake mushrooms, watercress, shelf fungus (a variety of Reishi mushroom), shiitake mushrooms, pearl barley, sanzukon, sushi, waternut, boxthorn seed and wisteria knob.
Ge-132 in a pure form is a highly safe organic substance with numerous therapeutic and preventive effects.
It works as an adaptogen, normalizing all bodily systems, without harming any.
POWERFUL STIMULANT OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM:

Note:
I have experimented with creating a supersaturated solution of purified water and MSM, then adding Organic Germanium. I put it in a spray bottle. It has amazing effects of the skin (the removal of old dead skin and thick callouses, and the healing of burns).
I understand that the Japanese embed it in sports injury wraps.
