What is Organic Germanium (Ge-132) Germanium Sesquioxide?

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.

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.

Surprised no comments or they are on MTHFR site. Wow. I am someone who has limped along in life for 20 plus years. Every so often it seems I am thrown a bone & get overly enthusiastic, like when my hypothyroid was diagnosed & I was given fake thyroid my liver could not convert. My improvement was only a few brief months. Raising kids often alone with a hubby who traveled much of every week all of my energy went into the kids. In the years before hyperthyroid turned to hypo where I had neck pain so bad that I could make it through dinner, only barely before I had to lie down. Sometimes I would ask my husband to get me a few beers because over the counter pain meds did no good. I have a mouth full of mercury, been replacing as I can. Recent MTHFR C677T results & lousy heart lab results. One of my adult child has multiple psychiatric diagnosis. All this to say I have NEVER heard of anything nutritionally that offers hope for so many ailments that are debilitating so many. As I learn how to treat my methylation mutation surely this will be part of the protocol. Thanks for the work. I would love updates from people who are using Ge-132.
