How Germanium benefit to human health
Germanium is a mineral found in the soil, in foods and many healing herbs such
as Aloe Vera, garlic and ginseng. It is known to initiate healthy
oxygen flow in the body tissues and aids in the normal functioning of the immune cells. It
is known to maintain a healthy
balance between various body functions and is a water soluble dietary supplement. It helps
protect the human body from a number of diseases and ailments.
It is not classified as a trace mineral but has a plethora of health benefits. It enhances the body’s natural
capacity to combat viruses and is used in the treatment of AIDS (Acquired Immuno
Deficiency Syndrome) since the late 1990’s. It is extremely efficient as an intra
cellular electrical impulse initiator in the human body. It helps rectify distortions in
the electrical aggregate of the body and is a metallic co-factor for the utilization of
oxygen. It is essential for optimum nutrition, absorption and raises the level of activity
of various organs by enabling them to attract more oxygen. It supports the body’s
natural immune system and is used to bring about a number of health benefits.
Benefits of Germanium
Germanium is used in the treatment of several diseases such as cancer,
osteoporosis, heart disease, malfunction of the immune system and arthritis.
It relieves angina when consumed in therapeutic doses.
It helps lower blood pressure and improves the health
of arteries.
It is known to possess powerful antioxidant properties that enable the body to fight the
harmful effects of free radicals like pollution, smoke etc. on a daily basis. Free radials
are known to have a negative impact on the body as they cause diseases like cancer,
bronchitis, heart disease etc.
It plays a key role in the circulation of oxygen to the body tissues and regulates the
functioning of cells.
It is used in the treatment of diseases like AIDS/HIV by activating the production of
Interferon, Macrophages and NK-Lymphocytes.
It is used in the prevention and treatment of cataracts.
It is used for proper cell replication.
It relives joint pain, aids in the formation and maintenance of strong bones.
It helps in the prevention of Raynaud’s Disease and reduces the development of
Gangrene.
Deficiency
Germanium deficiency is not recognized but is usually characterized by infection, heart
disease, increased cholesterol levels, osteoporosis, cancer, arthritis and immune
disorders.
Germanium Sources
They include comfrey, ginseng, garlic, mushrooms etc. It is a powerful analgesic known to
increase the body’s own endorphins.
Dosage
Germanium is a constituent of various natural foods consisting of around
1mg per day. High dosage of synthetic germanium (50 to 250 mg per day) is hazardous to
health. Organic Germanium (Germanium sequioxide) and Germanium lactate citrate are fairly
safe but Germanium dioxide can cause permanent kidney damage.
As a supplementary mineral it came to the attention of the health industry on account of
the works of Doctor Kazuhika Asai of Japan in 1950. The results of his research determined
that Germanium will be helpful in protecting the liver from toxic damage
and support various aspects of the immune system.
Before taking any mineral supplements it is essential for you to consult a registered
medical practitioner in order to determine if the nutrient is required by your body or
not. You must also make note of any diseases or ailments you might be suffering from such
as high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, depression, kidney problem, gastro
intestinal disease, high cholesterol levels etc. You must also consider your present
medical condition, if you are allergic to any prescription or over the counter (OTC) drugs
or have a family history of any ailments before taking any mineral. Pregnant and lactating
women should take supplements only after consulting a physician.
For bringing about complete health benefits it is necessary to follow a proper
exercise routine along with the intake of a well balanced diet and adequate amount of
rest. Fitness is all about adopting a healthy lifestyle and following it.
How Titanium benefit to human health
Since
its discovery in the late 1700s, titanium has been a metal revered for its strength,
durability and compatibility with the human body. In fact, it is used today in artificial
body parts, jewelry for those with sensitive skin and even in alternative medicine, where
the metal has found a new following. Titanium bracelets are thought to have many health
benefits.
-
Titanium is thought to attract oxygen. When held against
the skin in the form of a bracelet, this metal is believed to pull that oxygen into the
area that is inflamed or is pain. The excess oxygen is relives the pain and inflammation.
This is one reason why arthritics wear the bracelets on their affected wrists close to the
joints that are inflamed because of the disease.
The magnetized titanium
bracelets are also believed to hold a positive charge. In alternative medicine, pain is
said to have a negative charge. If you will remember back to middle school science class,
you will know that a positive charge and a negative charge cancel out one another. Thus,
the titanium bracelet relieves pain by neutralizing it.
Medical alert bracelets are made of titanium because the
metal is less vulnerable to corrosion than iron-based alloys. It is also less easily bent
than gold and silver. In fact, titanium can withstand higher temperatures, saltwater and
the rough handling that medical identification and alert bracelets suffer over the years.
Their durability also makes the bracelets more likely to withstand a catastrophe or
accident.
Unlike many other metals used in medicine, titanium is
compatible with the human body in that is can be used without fear of rejection by the
body. If an implant is rejected, medical problems arise, the least of which being
infection. The implant must be removed and replaced at immense cost to the patient.
Titanium parts overcome this obstacle and can remain inside the body for many years.
Titanium bracelets can therefore be worn without causing the wearer infection, rashes or
increased pain and swelling.
Because of all the health benefits of titanium
bracelets, modern medical researchers are using them to treat internal disorders like
reflux. The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center is working with the use of a titanium
beaded bracelet to prevent acid reflux. The bracelet is wound around the lower part of the
esophagus where the sphincter lies. It is tightened to hold the sphincter closed so that
the stomach acid will not leak out and cause reflux.
Press Release
Excess Titanium from NNSA’s Y-12 Plant to be Used by the Army for New Generation
of Protective Body Armor for Combat Troops
Jun 28, 2010
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The
National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) today announced that excess titanium at
its Y-12 National Security Complex in Tennessee will be used by the U.S. Army to develop a
new generation of lightweight protective body armor for combat soldiers.
The material, which was originally intended for use at the Oak Ridge, Tenn., facility,
has been provided to the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (ARDEC)
at Picatinney Arsenal, N.J. The high strength, lightweight material is also being
considered by ARDEC for use in breech assemblies on field artillery to improve maintenance
and reliability.
“As we work to transform a Cold War-era nuclear weapons complex into a 21st
century nuclear security enterprise, NNSA is committed to finding new ways to reuse
unwanted material that save taxpayers money,” said Randal S. Scott, Deputy Associate
Administrator for Infrastructure and Environment. “The fact that this excess titanium
will be used to protect our soldiers in combat makes this accomplishment even more
rewarding, and is one more example of our investment in nuclear security paying dividends
in other areas.”
The titanium, valued at about $10,000, was processed and transferred to ARDEC at a cost
to the Army of $2,500. The transfer saved Y-12 $12,000 in waste characterization and
disposal costs. This cooperative effort between NNSA, Y-12 and ARDEC resulted in a net
benefit to the government of $19,500. Based on the success of this effort, Y-12 is
considering this business model to dispose of additional excess materials.
This marks the second successful transfer of materials from Y-12 to the Picatinney
Arsenal. In October 2009, Y-12 transferred a large quantity of stainless steel that was
used for various military support and production activities at the New Jersey site.
Established by Congress in 2000, NNSA is a separately organized agency within the U.S.
Department of Energy responsible for enhancing national security through the military
application of nuclear science. NNSA maintains and enhances the safety, security,
reliability and performance of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile without nuclear testing;
works to reduce global danger from weapons of mass destruction; provides the U.S. Navy
with safe and effective nuclear propulsion; and responds to nuclear and radiological
emergencies in the United States and abroad.
Medical Uses
With its excellent biocompatibility characteristics and low-occurrence of metal-related
allergic reactions, titanium is widely used as a material for implants (artificial dental
implants and artificial bone). Development of applications in other medical fields is
expected.
Titanium Dental Tools
In the field of dentistry, titanium alloy, which is lighter than conventional steel, is
now commonly used for tools. These titanium tools have higher corrosion resistance and
strength than stainless steel tools.
Artificial Dental Implants
Titanium has high biocompatibility and does not harm the human body. Therefore, it is
ideal for use in dental implants.
