Dr. Kazuhiko Asai's work led to the synthesis of the first organic germanium compound. After extensive self-experimentation, he opened a clinic in Japan where many patients abandoned by conventional medicine were treated with this substance. The largely non-toxic germanium compound significantly increases the oxygen levels in the body; toxic substances are either broken down into harmless forms or completely eliminated. Dr. Asai supports his experience with organic germanium not only with dry data but also presents the reader with the Japanese worldview that underlies his philosophical ideas about this substance, extending beyond the purely physical.
