HOW DOES Germanium MAKE PAIN DISAPPEAR?

Because pain is a subjective phenomenon, it cannot be verified in animal tests. But the fact that Germanium has the effect of mitigating pain - apart from how helpful this actually is to the treatment - is a good sign. The only thing clear is that it does not merely numb the senses like morphine; that it induces the secretion of endorphin is the extent of what is known about its pain-killing effect. In real terms, pain disappears about 20 minutes after a large dosage, and even patients accustomed to morphine can stop using morphine within about 2 weeks. The use of morphine ultimately means anesthesia, and the senses remain numb as long as its effect lasts. Germanium, on the other hand, makes pain disappear but does not numb the senses, so other treatment methods can be tried as well.

Simply put, moxibustion is the act of scorching the surface of the skin with fire. When this happens the proteins on the surface decompose, and the decomposed proteins acquire a slight toxicity; when these proteins enter the bloodstream, blood cells react to produce interferon as a defense against their toxicity, counteracting against bigger diseases as a result.

Modern man, especially if he received a higher education, are often too accustomed to logical thinking, and have a tendency to dismiss anything that has not been proven scientifically. But to outright reject something even in the absence of contradicting evidence is to take a kind of dogmatic stance. It would be foolish to negate something just because it is beyond one's limited knowledge and scope of thinking. One must not dismiss a possibility simply because there is no evidence at hand.

Germanium, HERB MEDICINE, AND RADIATION
Although Germanium is produced by chemical methods, when we consider that it is used not for allopathic therapy but homeopathic therapy, it is closer to an herbal remedy than Western medicine; and when viewed in relation to herb medicine, herb medicine and Germanium have a synergistic relationship.

In modern medicine, there is the tendency to believe that the best remedy for any disease is finding out the cause and prescribing drugs and removal of the affected part. Thus, only visible stromal disorders that show up in tests are deemed to qualify as disease, while dysfunctions are not. In comparison, herb medicine aims to eliminate the cause itself, whatever the cause and wherever the affected area. Even if there are visible abnormal areas, if they do not really affect everyday life the ailment is considered cured. To give an extreme example, even if thorough examination revealed no abnormalities, if the patient complains of sleeplessness or pain, these dysfunctions are treated as disease. Herb medicine attempts to normalize the patient's symptoms by normalizing the surrounding conditions that caused the dysfunctions. This is the approach that characterizes herb medicine.

It is difficult to avoid the criticism that while Western medicine is objective and scientific, herb medicine is rather subjective and unscientific. But though a dysfunction may be a subjective phenomenon, it is a disease if the patient himself feels it is a dysfunction. This is not to say which approach is wrong or right, but rather to suggest that Western medicine and herb medicine must be mutually complementary.

Take cancer, for example. It's one thing if it's already too late for medical therapy, but if early detection and early surgical removal are the only courses of action relied upon, then a side effect would be the decline in the production of interferon, which mobilizes macrophages and other natural defender cells that serve as the infantry in the battle against cancer cells. Thus the absurd situation arises where the cancer is destroyed but the patient is killed in the process. This is because patients can go into germ-unleashing endocrine shock, with malfunctioning macrophages, and become susceptible to complications such as pneumonia.

When macrophages fail to function, it can lead to paralysis of the liver, which in turn leads to the accumulation of waste matter within the body. After an abdominal operation, no matter how simple, interferon production declines for about a week. This is because cortisone is produced as a reaction to the surgery, which suppresses the production of interferon.

In this respect, radiation therapy and anticancer drugs all have an effect on interferon production. The problem with all chemotherapy, including cancer therapy, is that they are unselective; radiation therapy, too, destroys normal cells along with the cancer cells. Cancer is not a disease that develops overnight or in a period of a few months, but a disease that develops over many years, caused by complex conditions. To hope to cure this disease with a few months' worth of surgery and medication is expecting too much. If the disease took a year to develop, give it 1 year until full recovery and if it took 10, then give it that much time as well; this kind of relaxed state of mind is essential in the battle against cancer.
