	5. A Weapon for Self-defense     For a more exact clue to the role germanium plays in plant life, it is interesting to note the wisteria plant. When attacked by germs and viruses, wisteria forms a knob (mentioned in the first list as containing a high concentration of germanium) in self-defense. This is a strong indication that the plant is using germanium to fight off the invading viruses. Further evidence that germanium serves to combat viruses in plants is a species of bamboo grass common to to Yakushima (An island located in the southern part of Kyushu, Japan) which received wide notice a number of years ago for its effectiveness in treating cancer. I obtained some and confirmed the presence of germanium in this plant. After a number of people had plucked the leaves, however, the roots began to weaken. What became apparent, in line with my theories was that the plant's ability to resist bacteria was lowered due to a disruption of the germanium cycle. The germanium existing in the soil, which is normally absorbed by the roots and returned to the soil when the leaves die and fall, was no longer present in adequate supply. Consequently, the plant became defenseless against bacteria and decayed. The same theory holds for ginseng also, which would be just as susceptible to the thousands of viruses and bacteria existing in the soil and would soon rot if it were not for its extremely high germanium content.  One reason  why, until recently, it has taken so long to cultivate regular crops of ginseng is that when one crop is harvested the germanium content is removed from the soil. A recent report says that success has been attained in harvesting an annual crop of ginseng by thoroughly disinfecting the soil. Although the beneficial effects of ginseng grown without germanium may be rather dubious, I believe the report re-emphasizes the role of germanium.     In addition to the plants mentioned above, germanium is also present in the structure of various mushrooms such as Cortinellus shiitake, champignon, and kawaradake. All these mushrooms are susceptible to various diseases and could not exist without sufficient resistance to bacteria. Interested in finding out more about the antibiotic properties of germanium, I conducted the following two experiments.            Experiment I. A gelatin commonly used for the cultivation of bacteria was stained with methylene blue and put into five test tubes. Ten varieties of bacteria were then introduced into the gelatine at random and a solution of germanium complex salt was poured into two of the five tubes. Since various bacteria require oxygen from the methy]ene blue to propagate themselves, the methylene blue takes on a transparent gray after the oxygen has been used. In the tubes containing germanium, however, the methylene blue maintained its original  color, indicating that the bacteria died, being unable to utilize the oxygen.            Experiment 2. Using another method for cultivating bacteria, gelatin was put on two test plates one containing germanium and one without it. Various microorganisms were introduced and molds of various colors began to grow on the surface of the gelatin without germanium. No change occurred, however, on the plate containing germanium.     However, about a week later, dark spots appeared on the surface of the test plates of gelatin containing germanium used in Experiment 2. In no time the spots, appearing to be miniature aegagropilas in form and  color, developed into well rounded spheres about 7mm in diameter. Nonetheless, when viewed from a different angle, the above phenomenon, rather than indicating failure, merely re-emphasized the effectiveness of the germanium solution. The bacteria used in the first experiment died because their molecular structure  was destroyed by the dehydrogenating effect, or oxidizing action of germanium. The mold which grew on the test plate containing germanium used in Experiment 2,  however, grew principally due to the presence of germanium - a large mold resembling aegagropilas could not have grown without germanium because the microorganisms present would have destroyed it before it was established. The mold made use of the germanium to fight harmful bacteria as well as to facilitate its own growth.     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.     Various other experiments led to the observation of other interesting phenomena. When only a small quantity of the germanium solution was used, the growth of various plants was greatly accelerated and their flowering period was advanced. Germanium was also found to have positive effects on plant cuttings. Improved assimilation was noted when water drawn by the plants was electrolyzed by sunlight with germanium acting as a catalyst.     All these experiments pointed to a very interesting relationship existing between living substances and metals. In nature there is a transmigrational phenomenon whereby metallic elements existing in the soil play an important part in plant growth when absorbed by plants. Animals absorb these elements after feeding on the plants and return them to the soil through evacuation or upon death. Naturally, the metallic elements involved in this cycle move in organic form from the plant to animal bodies, and I became extremely interested in determining what form of organic compound is present in living organisms. If this organic compound could be found and synthesized. a substance could be created which would surely have beneficial effects on all forms of life.     The physicist Schrodinger said, "Life is a supreme work of art created by the hands of God through quantum mechanics." Since I was setting out to create a substance of vital importance to life which this great scientist referred to as God's work of art, I had to adopt the proper frame of mind. The physical laws of nature are complicated so that the creation of a new substance is the most difficult of problems. To this end, in a spirit of prayer to God, I have undergone extreme hardship and devoted thirty years of my life.
