There are some really interesting experiments done on Germanium; all from the link above. Unfortunately there will probably not be raised money for bigger surveys on Ge, so it is up to ourselves if to take advantage of this knowledge or not;

" In an experiment with rice plants I discovered another effect of germanium: it increases their resistance to cold. In a greenhouse, rice was grown at a temperature of about 20°C having first been immersed in a germanium solution for two days. When the rice grew to a height of about 30cm, the temperature of the greenhouse was lowered to 5°C. As a result, the rice plants grown from the unhulled rice which had not been immersed in the germanium solution soon withered and rotted from the cold. The plants grown from the unhulled rice treated with germanium, however, were unharmed by the cold and steadily continued their healthy growth."

" For instance, there has been a long continued use of mercury and cadmium in fertilizers etc, that in sufficient amounts can lead to metal poisoning. To study the efficacy of organic germanium on mercury poisoning, I asked a pathologist to use it on animals. At the time, the shocking symptoms of mercury poisoning cases of people who had eaten mercury contaminated fish in a particular area of Japan were widely reported, and there was a real sense of urgency to relieve the plight of the victims. The experimental results obtained by the pathologist were as I had expected: "An intravenous injection of 0.6 mg of mercury chloride to a rat weighing 200 gm induced a calcareous deposit in the cortex of the kidney 20 hours after the injection. A high degree of calcareous deposit was also observed in the medulla. The rat was then treated with the organic germanium compound, and after 10 days, most of the calcareous deposits disappeared, and after another 20 days, no trace of calcium was observed. The dead cells were found dispersed, some of them in the interstices of the tissues. After 30 days of germanium therapy, these were replaced by healthy cells, thus showing the efficacy of the treatment. Moreover, another experiment in which mercury was given to a rat along with germanium compound revealed no toxic symptoms in the rat. "

"In one experiment, a group of five mice were given a hypodermic injection of cancer cells after administering a water solution of the organic germanium compound. Another group of five mice were given a hypodermic injection of cancer cells without administering the solution as a control. The hypodermic injection of cancer cells is a method of inducing cancer in mice generally practiced in the Cancer Research Institute. The mice injected invariably developed cancer, except those five mice to which the germanium compound was also administered who failed to develop cancer. This experiment was repeated twice, with the same result."

Beatty; not so interesting in replying when you send PM`s "I can help. I will not waste my time if you are not going to listen.
If you are really sick take 3 grams C, and call me 541 810 ####"
THIS is a waste of time, IMO.

Other from that, yes interesting about the oxygenation;

"According to a Dutch researcher, Dr. Schuitemaker, "It (germanium) is involved as a catalyst in the supply of oxygen to oxygen poor tissue, such as cancerous growths. . . It lessens the per oxidation of fatty acids, thus establishing the role of germanium in free radical pathology." Free radicals are highly reactive molecules which reduce the cell's oxygen supply. When free radicals abound, tissue injury and disease states such as cancer can occur."

Also..

"Dr. Asai reported astonishing success when he treated cases of heavy metal poisoning (mercury and cadmium), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's) poisoning and carbon monoxide asphyxiation with germa­nium. Some scientists believe germanium's chemical structure may help the nutritional supplement bind or chelate (grab) toxic sub-stances and remove them."
