We have re-established connection with Tokai Sangyo, Japan, for our supply of organic germanium.

When I visited Japan, many years ago, I visited the actual germanium factory of Tokai, and spent much time with all their executives.  There are only two legitimate producers of germanium in Japan.  One, the Asai Research Institute (ARI), sells within Japan only, not for export.  Tokai Sangyo has its own patent and factory for making germanium, and has an official Government license to export it.  No other Japanese company has a Government license to export germanium.

This “germanium” has been called by several names – causing some confusion in the marketplace.  “GE 132” is the most common label currently, or “organic germanium” but neither of these labels has a high degree of technical accuracy.

Dr. Asai got the first patent on germanium, and assigned it to the Asai Research Institute.  Around the same time Tokai Sangyo got its patent, using a slightly different process, to arrive at the same “substance.”

Dr. Asai refers to this substance as “organic germanium” but the patents are more scientific.  The Asai Research Institute, at one point, contemplated selling its germanium within the US and therefore applied for a US patent on its “organic germanium.” That patent was granted, and shows very good results in treating cancer.  Asai Research, for some unknown reason, has never pursued this opportunity within the US, and now limits itself to providing germanium, for prescription use in Japan, only.

Nonetheless, the ARI patent, in the US, provides a good benchmark of honesty and accuracy for this substance.  This patent is Number 4,681,960 in 1987 at the US Patent Office.  On technical form for this substance is "bis-carboxy-ethyl germanium sesquioxide."

The Japanese patents have now expired, so anyone can use those original processes to manufacture germanium.  However, I have spent many hours studying the process by which someone can test a substance to determine whether it is, or is not, this substance.  It is very easy to produce a mixture of “germanium oxide” with “vitamin C” in such proportions that virtually no test can distinguish it from the true substance.  Other complexities abound in this area – so that, ultimately, only your trust in the integrity of the supply chain can assure you of having the authentic substance.

I have been approached, many times, by companies in China to purchase their “germanium.”  I have even engaged in numerous back-and-forth messages on the subject of testing the material, and felt strongly that these Chinese sources did NOT have a fool-proof way of guaranteeing that their germanium was the same as Dr. Asai first developed, and that is now being sold by Tokai Sangyo.

As far as I am concerned, there is only one source in the entire world that deserves the acceptance of true germanium – Tokai Sangyo.

That is the substance we sell. 

I have Dr. Asai’s entire book about germanium on my web site – it has been long out of print.  The web site is http://www.organicgermanium.net.

I also traveled to Belgium to research germanium in Europe – Tokai germanium was then the only honest germanium I could find there.

When I have done extensive research on the web I have not found a single other source of germanium sold in the US, or elsewhere, that identifies its source of manufacture. None can claim to get their germanium from Tokai since we have an exclusive agency agreement with Tokai.

I know for a fact that germanium has been offered out of China with no way of finding out who actually makes it or how to verify its authenticity.  I believe virtually all “germanium” being sold in the US currently comes from  China, and no one wants to admit that.

In the past when we sold this product we had three sizes and prices.  There was a bottle 100 caps, 35 mg each, at $100, then a bottle of 100 Caps, 150 mg each, at a higher price and finally a bottle of 50 caps, 500 mg each, at a still higher price.

We quit selling germanium those many years ago because Tokai was not able to meet the much lower prices for so-called germanium coming into the US from unknown origins.  Some of that “germanium” was actually purchased in Taiwan, or some other place, smuggled into Japan, repackaged and exported, illegally, out of Japan.  The largest US importer of this “germanium” at that time is still a larger seller today.  They sued me for libel when I alleged that they were not selling legitimate Japanese germanium.  We settled out of court with no penalty for me.

With our new bulk cost and new supply I have settled on the following prices. The first three should be put on our shopping cart immediately. The one kg price can be a “ask for quote” price reference on the cart.

100 caps, 35 mg each, $100

100 caps, 100 mg each, $250

The above two are in bottles, the germanium is in a base of Watercress, Garlic Extract, Taheebo Extract and Ginseng.

Packet of 100 grams, $900  (note, pure germanium, no extras)

This 100 gram packet is sealed and then further packed in a storage container so that, after opening the sealed packet, the contents can be poured into the container for further storage.

Bulk Germanium, one Kg, $6,000

There are no additives, preservatives added to any of the above.

The first three are subject to our usual discounts up to 40%.  That is, 25% discount for four or more of the same size, 30% for purchase of 8, 35% for purchase of 24 and 40% discount for the purchase of 60.  The packets would be subject only to a maximum discount of 30%, since a bulk kg would then be less expensive per gram than 24 packets.  The bulk kg is not subject to further discount.

We have a certificate of purity for every batch we purchase.

There are no refunds except for unopened (sealed) containers.  In due course I also want to change our general guarantee to be good for 30 days only – but we can implement this, for now, on germanium only – measuring time from the time of receipt by customer.  This guarantee should be noted on the shopping cart also, and marked to apply to germanium, only, for now.

Obviously with this type of sizing someone could decide to buy a smaller number of bottles of the larger dosage rather than a larger number of bottles with a lower dosage.  I have not figured out where the breaking points are, but they can be figured by the customer.

Those who might be interested in the 100 gram packet should realize that Dr. Asai suggests about 2 grams per day, or more, to treat cancer.  At this rate the packet of 100 grams would last for about 50 days – plenty of time to tell whether there is going to be a worthwhile benefit.

Since a heaping teaspoon is about 5 grams, people can measure the germanium, in the loose powder packet, with a “slightly less than flat” teaspoon.  It has no taste – can be put into the mouth directly, or into water or juice.

Many people who are sick do not absorb anything well, so the mouth tissues are the best place for absorption – the germanium should be kept in the mouth for 30 seconds or so, so that dissolving and absorption takes place there – if mixed with water, the water should be held in the mouth for these 30 seconds before swallowing.

Germanium will dissolve quickly in warm water – more slowly in cold water.

It can be taken with or without food, at any time of the day.

Germanium does not deteriorate – so “shelf life” is not a factor.  Storage conditions, likewise, are not a factor in its effectiveness.

It will not interfere with any drug and there is no toxic dosage for germanium.

We would never claim that germanium will “cure” cancer, but we can say, as we do for Taheebo Life Tea, that it will work fast, or not at all.  Thus, a person who gets a packet of germanium, and uses it at the rate of 2 grams per day, about a 50-day supply, should see very positive and very obviously objective evidence of improvement in a month or so.  If he does not see that improvement, I would not recommend further expenditure of money, although, a longer time might be helpful.

I do not ever advise someone getting a biopsy.  If they have a “lump” and want to treat that with germanium – fine – don’t get a biopsy – just look for the lump to get smaller, softer, lighter in color (if observable) and to cause less pain – these are the objective measures of improvement to look for.  Click here for my data on biopsy.

If there have been or are ongoing medical tests, or a biopsy, OK – then the same significant improvement in less than 50 days.  If there has been or is ongoing drug or radiation treatment, the improvement will probably take longer, but can still be achieved.

If there is that improvement within that first month, the person should realize that the usage should then continue at the same dosage, at least, until the cancer is GONE.  You are not looking just for shrinkage, but GONE!

On this basis the $900 is less expensive than most medical cancer drugs.

The fact that medical drugs are very harmful, no matter how they handle a cancer, must be coupled with the fact that these medical drugs are often covered by health insurance whereas germanium will probably never be.

There is obviously no guarantee that germanium will produce a positive result for anyone.

If a person wants four of these 100 gram packets, the 25% discount applies, and they then cost $675 each.  Eight packets would cost $630 each.  By the time a person considers getting 24 packets, it would obviously be less expensive to buy a full kg and this 24-packet discount level is not applicable.

When and as a person buys, for instance, 4 packets, uses one, and wants to return 3 unopened for a refund, the refund must be calculated on the basis that the one packet he used cost $900, and the refund calculated accordingly.

When and as we sell any germanium in these higher quantities, we should let the customer know that there will be no re-supply if we find them advertising and re-selling germanium at any discount below our various prices.   The entire US has been deprived of this wondrous substance because of the willingness of many US distributors to buy counterfeit stuff with unknown origins and sell at prices that do not reflect authenticity.
