Dave Wickware said:Germanium-132
IN ITS inorganic form, the trace mineral germanium is used in the
electronics industry as a semiconductor, and has no nutritional or
therapeutic benefits. However, in its organic form, germanium is being
hailed as one of the greatest new developments in the nutritional treatment
of cancer.
Those hailing it are primarily those like Spammin' Dave, who sell the
stuff. I think I found exactly one case in the literature where
germanium may have been a factor in someone's recovery from cancer.
I found a much larger number of cases where someone was poisoned by
germanium supplements.
