How to determine the amount of germanium in the human body

Dear friends!

This section is focused on germanium (Ge),  a trace element, easy to find in 4-th group of the periodic table under the number 32.

It is a potentially toxic ultra-trace element, a fragile non-metal of silver color and of high semiconductor properties.

As far back as 1891, Dmitri Mendeleev predicted the discovery of this element and even gave it the absentee name of “ecasicily”. A new trace element, derived from the silver mineral (arhyrodite) in Germany in 1886, got its present name from a country it was discovered in.

Germanium is widely used in the industries of instrumentation and electronics. This semiconductor is used for making triodes, diodes, crystal detectors, instruments for measuring magnetic fields, etc.

Germanium is produced through processing non-ferrous metal ores. The wastes of the coal-mining and coke industries are the major source of pollution of the environment with germanium.

Germanium generally gets in to the body with water and food. The trace element gets distributed throughout the body, uniformly saturating its tissues and organs.

Properties of this element relegate it to the toxic trace elements, yet, we should keep in mind that it is vital for proper functioning of the immune and musculoskeletal systems, when present in the minimum necessary proportion.

The lack of germanium manifests itself through the following clinical symptoms:

- the decrease in antitumor immunity;

- the vulnerability to viral infections;

- anemia and edematous processes.

The exceeded level of germanium manifests itself through the following clinical symptoms and pathologies:

- the vast renal failure;

-the general weakness;

- anemia and adynamia;

- peripheral neuropathy.

It is worth sparing a thought for the endemic disease of osteoarthritis  or Kashin–Beck disease. It is common for people living  in areas with the lack of trace elements, which causes the imbalance of the metabolism of such vital elements as selenium, boron and germanium.

This pathology effects twice as much men as women. It manifests itself through dystrophy of connective tissue cartilage, leading to the destruction of cartilage and severe problems with the musculoskeletal system, finally resulting in permanent disability and incapability.

Speaking of toxicity of germanium and its salts, it is relatively low,  yet, there were some reported cases of lethal poisoning with this toxic trace element, caused by patients taking some nutritional supplements, which included its organic form.

Though this trace element can't be called very popular,  yet, analyzing the requests made by consumers regarding this issue, we have detected the following variations:

• how to determine the amount of germanium in the body;

• how to determine the amount of germanium present in the human body;

• how to determine the amount of germanium in the human body;

• how to check the level of germanium in the body;

• how to reduce the level of germanium in the body;

• how to reduce the level of germanium in the human body;

• how can I learn the level of germanium in the human body;

• how the level of germanium in the body can be determined;

• how to eliminate germanium present in the body;

• how to learn the amount of germanium present in the human body;

• how to determine the limit of germanium for a child and an adult;

• why is germanium bad for the human body;

• what harm can germanium do to the human body;

• why is the excess of germanium bad for the human body;

• what harm can germanium do to a human;

• why is germanium bad for a human;

• the harm germanium can do to a human;

• the harm germanium can do to the human health;

Answering the question of “how to determine the amount of germanium  in the body of an adult and a child? ”, we must say that there is only one method capable of determining the bioelemental status of the human body i.e.  the one which is based on analyses of 33 medically-studied trace elements, both vital and toxic noxious ones.

    Toxic trace elements get systematically accumulated in the tissues, organs, bones and other body structures, therefore it is impossible to detect their exact presence through studies of the organic samples such as urine, blood, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva, etc.

It also applies to the detection of the vital trace elements when their exact quantity needs to be determined in order to build an overall picture of the bioelemental status qua the aggregate of vital and toxic elements.

    That is exactly why the unique laboratory of elemental analysis aimed at detecting and monitoring the presence of toxic trace elements in the human body of was launched within the Clinic of the Ministry of Emergency Situations in 2007. The service was initially meant for employees of the huge structure accountable to the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

    The spectral analysis (you can learn more about the method by clicking this link http://www.mineralogram.com/bioelementnyystatus.html) is a unique method which provides the most  accurate information both on vital and toxic trace elements, present in a human body, which makes it possible to study the wide range of indicators instead of focusing on a certain single chemical element.

You can look into an example of the study done through the method of the spectral analysis by clicking this link.

It is a matter of great importance, since the trace elements constitute a single system and the lack of some elements causes the accumulation of the others, which results in replacement of the certain elements with the other once.

    As you might see, our project is fully devoted to the spectral analysis and its principle with regard to health control. We will gladly assist you at every step of this study, elucidate the obtained results and, if necessary, advise you on how to restore the elemental status of your body.

Our experts will be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding the method of spectral analysis!

The uniqueness of this method makes it possible to study samples sent from any part of the world as a usual letter. It is a truly unique tool of the health control.

Remember that the systematic control over the vital sighs it is the major step on the way to well-being and longevity.

We would like to thank you for your kind attention!

Yours faithfully, 33 Elementa.Ru
