Definitions
- Acupuncture should prove itself especially in the following diseases, namely chronic constipation, asthma, circulatory disorders, and disorders of all kinds, including disorders in the area of the female genital organs, as well as depression and other diseases.
- Acupuncture has found a relatively wide spread and application today, which has been particularly favored by the knowledge of the Haedian zones. These Haedian zones are hypersensitivity of the skin, which is detectable when the internal organs are diseased.
- you first determine the corresponding areas that belong to the clinical picture or symptom by pressing the surface of the skin with your thumb. Once the appropriate areas (Tsubo) have been identified, the skin is cleaned and disinfected at these areas and the needle is inserted. Since these needles are only left in the skin for a short time, i.e. a few minutes, and on the other hand the patient is resting during treatment, i.e. lie, there are certain concerns or disadvantages for some diseases or also for therapy, which either consist in the fact that the action of the needles cannot be optimized or because the patient has to lie still for the time of the treatment.
- this therapy method could be significantly improved if the effect of the inserted needle or the duration of the treatment could be intensified in the area of the specific areas or points of the respective disease.
- a needle for oriental medical therapy which has at least one magnetic field and one electrostatic field.
- the needle is partially provided with a sealed container which contains at least a combination of an alpha-radiation-emitting nucleide and an n-type semiconductor substance and a beta-radiation-emitting nucleus and a P-type semiconductor substance so that corpuscular rays do not escape and enter form an electric field.
- Germanium is also proposed as a semiconductor substance in this patent. However, this is embedded in an isolator and therefore does not come into contact with the needle or the patient's tissue via the needle.
- the intention is to propose a needle which, due to its design, produces special magnetic radiation effects in the puncture area.
- the aim is to intensify the classic acupuncture procedure in every direction, both the time and duration of the treatment and the effectiveness of the treatment.
- Germanium or material containing germanium should be understood to mean metallic, pure germanium or a germanium alloy.
- the pure germanium can be in compact form and should be as pure as possible, with small amounts of foreign atoms not impairing the effectiveness; on the other hand, the pure germanium can also be in the form of a sintered body which is formed from a grain by pressing and heating and in itself has more or less fine, small cavities and pores.
- Germanium-containing material is to be understood as meaning a germanium alloy, for example a germanium-tin or a germanium-gold alloy.
- the germanium-containing material can also comprise a carrier in which the germanium is embedded as metallic germanium or as a germanium compound, for example as germanium oxide or in the form of germanide. A ceramic mass or a suitable plastic or glass can be used as the carrier.
- the compounds could be obtained from melts through which glasses such as zinc germanate or magnesium germanate are obtained using strongly basic metal oxide.
- the physical form in which the metal is brought onto the skin for the purpose of treating pathological symptoms can now occur in different ways according to the invention, namely the germanium metal or the germanium-containing metal, i.e. a germanium compound, for example a gold germanium compound in the form of a needle and by being pierced into the patient's skin.
- the germanium metal or the germanium-containing metal i.e. a germanium compound, for example a gold germanium compound in the form of a needle and by being pierced into the patient's skin.
- the germanium needle can, however, also be replaced by a steel needle which is vapor-coated on the surface with germanium or a germanium alloy or coated in some other way in such a way that a layer thickness of at least 2 11 m results.
- Such needles are relatively inexpensive to manufacture and can be used as so-called disposable needles, i.e. H. for single use.
- the germanium or its alloy can also be applied to the skin on a plaster, which comprises, for example, a carrier with an adhesive tape be brought.
- the carrier consists of fine linen, flannel or velvet, but also of paper, and the side facing the skin has a physiologically harmless adhesive.
- the metal body of the type described above that is to say the pure germanium metal or the pressed sintered body consisting of germanium metal or the carrier consisting of a ceramic or glass-like base material, in which germanium metal in grain form and in the desired amount is fastened to this adhesive, preferably in the center of the plaster is dispersed.
- the metal body can be made of steel and surface-coated with germanium or a Ge alloy.
- the germanium metal grain contained in the carrier is preferably dimensioned such that the grains touch one another at least so that electrical conductivity is present.
- a metallic germanium alloy for example a gold germanium alloy, can also be dispersed in such a carrier body.
- the gold germanium alloy should have the highest possible Ge content.
- the shape of the metal body on the plaster is preferably that of a circular or polygonal plate approximately 5 to 10 mm in diameter and between 1.5 and 3 mm in thickness.
- the surface of the metal plate which faces the skin surface of the body when it is in use or is intended to come into contact with it, is preferably shaped into a cone with a sharp center point. The cone angle should be chosen so that the sharpest possible tip is formed taking into account the dimensions of the patch.
- the dimensions of the patch i.e. the backing pad with the self-adhesive plaster mass is dimensioned such that the plaster causes sufficient pressure on the germanium plate and thus an intimate, deep contact thereof with the patient's skin surface.
- the plaster In order to protect the metallic surface of the germanium metal plate or the body containing the germanium-containing substance against environmental influences, in particular to prevent the formation of dust-like deposits on the surface of the metal plate, this can be covered with a removable protective film or layer, as is usual with bandaging plasters .
- the patch can be strip-shaped, polygonal, but also circular. In order to exert a radial pull on the germanium metal plate which is as uniform as possible, the plaster is preferably round and its diameter should correspond to three to five times the diameter of the metal plate.
- the use of germanium metal or germanium-containing material in the form of needles is used in acupuncture mode known per se, the use of the plaster takes place in an analogous manner, i.e. the corresponding organ points are selected or ascertained, taking into account the Haedian zones, and these places of moisture and fat on the skin are prepared by rubbing with a suitable dry cloth or solvent, then the plaster with the metallic germanium or the germanium compound is made in this way pressed onto this selected point that the preferably conical surface of the metal-containing plate presses firmly against the surface of the body.
- This application of the patch is now worn for a few days, for example two to three days, then the patch is removed and applied again in the immediate vicinity of the first application site and again worn for a few days until the symptoms of the disease to be treated applies, have disappeared.
- Either a new plaster is used to carry out the second treatment in the immediate application of the first treatment, or the plaster is cleaned after use by washing the surface of the metal plate with petrol or petroleum ether.
- germanium shows this particularly increased effect in the healing process for the diseases listed above. So far, no valid explanation is possible. However, it is believed that the effect of metallic germanium on the human body can be attributed to the special chemical and physical properties of germanium, and this applies both to germanium with an atomic weight of 72.59 and to the common natural isotopes.
- Germanium is known to be a semiconductor whose electrical resistance changes with temperature and with purity.
- germanium in the form of a needle may not be necessary in the form of a drawing, because the germanium needle is modeled on the usual acupuncture needle.
- the plaster consists of a carrier with the plaster mass thereon and a plate of germanium which is circular in shape, but the plate can also be made of a germanium alloy or from a carrier in which germanium is dispersed in metallic form, consist. Instead of a circular plate, this can also be rectangular or square, but in any case the surface facing the body should have the sharpest, conical shape.
- Germanium is most effective, followed immediately by alloys containing germanium, and sintered bodies made of granular germanium are also very effective.
Abstract
Description
Bei dem klassischen Akupunkturverfahren werden lange, dünne Nadeln in den Körper zur Diagnose und Heilung von Krankheiten eingestochen. Dabei werden Nadeln aus unterschiedlichem Metall verwendet und die Einstiche erfolgen an bestimmten Punkten der Körperoberfläche. Die Nadeln werden nur in das Unterhautgewebe gestochen und bleiben eine kurze Zeit, meistens zwei bis zehn Minuten stecken.In the classic acupuncture procedure, long, thin needles are inserted into the body for the diagnosis and healing of diseases. Different metal needles are used and the punctures take place at certain points on the body surface. The needles are only inserted into the subcutaneous tissue and remain for a short time, usually two to ten minutes.
Die Akupunktur soll sich vor allem bei folgenden Krankheiten bewähren, nämlich bei chronischer Verstopfung, Asthma, Kreislaufstörungen, sowie Störungen aller Art, auch bei Störungen im Bereiche der weiblichen Geschlechtsorgane, weiterhin bei Depressionen und anderen Krankheiten.Acupuncture should prove itself especially in the following diseases, namely chronic constipation, asthma, circulatory disorders, and disorders of all kinds, including disorders in the area of the female genital organs, as well as depression and other diseases.
Die Akupunktur hat heute eine relativ weite Verbreitung und Anwendung gefunden, was insbesondere durch die Kenntnisse der Haedschen Zonen begünstigt worden ist. Bei diesen Haedschen Zonen handelt es sich um Überempfindlichkeit der Haut, die bei Erkrankung der inneren Organe nachweisbar ist. Bei der Anwendung der Akupunktur bestimmt man zunächst die entsprechenden Flächen, die zu dem Krankheitsbild- bzw. Symptom gehören, indem man mit dem Daumen die Oberfläche der Haut drückt. Sind die entsprechenden Stellen (Tsubo) festgestellt, wird an diesen Stellen die Haut gereinigt und desinfiziert und die Nadel eingestochen. Da diese Nadeln nur kurzfristig, also wenige Minuten in der Haut belassen werden und andererseits der Patient bei der Behandlung ruhen, d.h. liegen muß, ergeben sich für manche Erkrankungen oder auch für die Therapie gewisse Bedenken oder auch Nachteile, die entweder darin bestehen, daß die Einwirkung der Nadeln nicht optimierbar ist oder weil der Patient für die Zeit der Behandlung ruhig liegen muß.Acupuncture has found a relatively wide spread and application today, which has been particularly favored by the knowledge of the Haedian zones. These Haedian zones are hypersensitivity of the skin, which is detectable when the internal organs are diseased. When using acupuncture, you first determine the corresponding areas that belong to the clinical picture or symptom by pressing the surface of the skin with your thumb. Once the appropriate areas (Tsubo) have been identified, the skin is cleaned and disinfected at these areas and the needle is inserted. Since these needles are only left in the skin for a short time, i.e. a few minutes, and on the other hand the patient is resting during treatment, i.e. lie, there are certain concerns or disadvantages for some diseases or also for therapy, which either consist in the fact that the action of the needles cannot be optimized or because the patient has to lie still for the time of the treatment.
In jedem Falle könnte dieses Therapieverfahren wesentlich verbessert werden, wenn die Wirkung der eingestochenen Nadel oder die Dauer der Behandlung im Bereiche der spezifischen Flächen oder Punkte der jeweiligen Krankheit intensiviert werden könnte.In any case, this therapy method could be significantly improved if the effect of the inserted needle or the duration of the treatment could be intensified in the area of the specific areas or points of the respective disease.
Aus der US-A 4 508 119 ist es bekannt, eine Nadel für die orientalische, medizinische Therapie zu verwenden, die wenigstens ein Magnetfeld und ein elektrostatisches Feld aufweist. Dafür ist die Nadel zum Teil mit einem abgedichteten Behälter versehen, der wenigstens eine Kombination eines Alpha-Strahlen emittierenden Nukleids und eine n-artige Halbleitersubstanz enthält und ein Beta-Strahlen emittierendes Nukleid sowie eine P-artige Halbleitersubstanz, so daß Korpuskularstrahlen nicht entweichen und ein elektrisches Feld bilden.From US-A 4 508 119 it is known to use a needle for oriental medical therapy which has at least one magnetic field and one electrostatic field. For this purpose, the needle is partially provided with a sealed container which contains at least a combination of an alpha-radiation-emitting nucleide and an n-type semiconductor substance and a beta-radiation-emitting nucleus and a P-type semiconductor substance so that corpuscular rays do not escape and enter form an electric field.
Als Halbleitersubstanz wird in dieser Patentschrift auch Germanium vorgeschlagen. Dieses ist jedoch in einem Isolator eingebettet und gelangt daher nicht mit der Nadel bzw. über die Nadel mit dem Gewebe des Patienten in Berührung.Germanium is also proposed as a semiconductor substance in this patent. However, this is embedded in an isolator and therefore does not come into contact with the needle or the patient's tissue via the needle.
Es ist vielmehr Absicht eine Nadel vorzuschlagen, die aufgrund ihrer Ausgestaltung besondere magnetische Strahlungseffekte im Einstichbereich erzeugt.Rather, the intention is to propose a needle which, due to its design, produces special magnetic radiation effects in the puncture area.
Dem gegenüber ist es im vorliegenden Falle das Bestreben eine Intensivierung des klassischen Akupunkturverfahrens in jeglicher Richtung, sowohl Zeit und Dauer der Behandlung, als auch Wirksamketi der Behandlung, vorzuschlagen.In contrast, in the present case, the aim is to intensify the classic acupuncture procedure in every direction, both the time and duration of the treatment and the effectiveness of the treatment.
Es wurde nun gefunden, daß eine solche Intensivierung der Behandlung erzielt wird und zwar dadurch, daß die entsprechenden Stellen (Tsubo) der Körperoberfläche des Patienten mit der eingangs beschriebenen Vorrichtung in Berührung gebracht werden, die aus Germaniummetall, einer Germaniumverbindung oder einer Germaniumlegierung besteht oder aus einem Träger der mit Germaniummetall, einer Germaniumverbindung oder einer Geraniumlegierung beschichtet ist, so daß das Germaniummetall, die Germaniumverbindung oder die Germanium- legierung mit dem Hautgewebe des Patienten in Berührung bringbar ist.It has now been found that such an intensification of the treatment is achieved by bringing the corresponding areas (Tsubo) of the patient's body surface into contact with the device described at the outset, which consists of or consists of germanium metal, a germanium compound or a germanium alloy a carrier which is coated with germanium metal, a germanium compound or a geranium alloy, so that the germanium metal, the germanium compound or the germanium alloy can be brought into contact with the skin tissue of the patient.
Unter Germanium, bzw. germaniumhaltigem Material soll einmal metallisches, reines Germanium, bzw. eine Germaniumlegierung verstanden werden.Germanium or material containing germanium should be understood to mean metallic, pure germanium or a germanium alloy.
Das reine Germanium kann dabei in kompakter Form vorliegen und sollte möglichst rein sein, wobei geringe Mengen an Fremdatomen nicht die Wirksamkeit beeinträchtigen, andererseits kann das reine Germanium auch in Form eines Sinterkörpers vorliegen, der aus einer Körnung durch Pressen und Erhitzen gebildet ist und an sich mehr oder weniger feine, kleine Hohlräume und Poren aufweist. Unter germaniumhaltigem Material soll eine Germaniumlegierung verstanden werden, beispielsweise eine Germanium-Zinn oder eine Germanium-Gold-Legierung. Andererseits kann das germaniumhaltige Material auch einen Trägerstoff umfassen, in welchem das Germanium als metallisches Germanium oder als Germaniumverbindung, beispielsweise als Germaniumoxid oder in Form der Germanide eingebettet ist. Als Trägerstoff kann eine keramische Masse Verwendung finden oder ein geeigneter Kunststoff oder ein Glas.The pure germanium can be in compact form and should be as pure as possible, with small amounts of foreign atoms not impairing the effectiveness; on the other hand, the pure germanium can also be in the form of a sintered body which is formed from a grain by pressing and heating and in itself has more or less fine, small cavities and pores. Germanium-containing material is to be understood as meaning a germanium alloy, for example a germanium-tin or a germanium-gold alloy. On the other hand, the germanium-containing material can also comprise a carrier in which the germanium is embedded as metallic germanium or as a germanium compound, for example as germanium oxide or in the form of germanide. A ceramic mass or a suitable plastic or glass can be used as the carrier.
Im letzteren Falle könnten dabei die Verbindungen aus Schmelzen gewonnen werden, durch die man unter Verwendung stark basischer Metalloxid Gläser wie Zinkgermanat oder Magnesiumgermanat erhält.In the latter case, the compounds could be obtained from melts through which glasses such as zinc germanate or magnesium germanate are obtained using strongly basic metal oxide.
Die physikalische Form, in der das Metall auf die Haut zum Zwecke der Behandlung krankhafter Symptome gebracht wird, kann nun erfindungsgemäß in unterschiedlicher Weise geschehen und zwar kann das Germaniummetall oder das germaniumhaltige Metall, d.h. eine Germaniumverbindung, beispielsweise eine Gold-Germaniumverbindung in Form einer Nadel und durch Einstechen in die Haut des Patienten mit dieser in Berührung gebracht werden.The physical form in which the metal is brought onto the skin for the purpose of treating pathological symptoms can now occur in different ways according to the invention, namely the germanium metal or the germanium-containing metal, i.e. a germanium compound, for example a gold germanium compound in the form of a needle and by being pierced into the patient's skin.
Die Nadel aus Germanium kann aber auch ersetzt sein durch eine Stahlnadel, die oberflächlich mit Germanium oder einer Germaniumlegierung bedampft oder sonstwie beschichtet ist, derart, daß sich eine Schichtdicke von wenigstens 2 11m ergibt. Solche Nadeln sind relativ preiswert herzustellen und können als sogenannte Wegwerfnadeln benutzt werden, d. h. für eine einmalige Verwendung.The germanium needle can, however, also be replaced by a steel needle which is vapor-coated on the surface with germanium or a germanium alloy or coated in some other way in such a way that a layer thickness of at least 2 11 m results. Such needles are relatively inexpensive to manufacture and can be used as so-called disposable needles, i.e. H. for single use.
Das Germanium oder seine Legierung kann auch auf einem Pflaster, das beispielsweise einen Träger mit einer Klebemesse umfaßt, auf die Haut aufgebracht werden. Der Träger besteht aus feinem Leinen, Flanell oder Samt, aber auch aus Papier, und die der haut zugewandte Seite trägt eine physiologisch unbedenkliche Klebemasse. Auf dieser Klebemasse, vorzugsweise mittig zum Pflaster, ist der Metallkörper der weiter oben beschriebenen Art, also das reine Germaniummetall oder der aus Germaniummetall bestehende gepreßte Sinterkörper oder der aus einer keramischen oder glasartigen Grundmasse bestehende Träger befestigt, in welchem Germaniummetall in Kornform und in gewünschter Menge dispergiert ist. Auch hier kann der Metallkörper aus Stahl bestehen und oberflächlich mit Germanium oder einer Ge-Legierung bedampft sein.The germanium or its alloy can also be applied to the skin on a plaster, which comprises, for example, a carrier with an adhesive tape be brought. The carrier consists of fine linen, flannel or velvet, but also of paper, and the side facing the skin has a physiologically harmless adhesive. The metal body of the type described above, that is to say the pure germanium metal or the pressed sintered body consisting of germanium metal or the carrier consisting of a ceramic or glass-like base material, in which germanium metal in grain form and in the desired amount is fastened to this adhesive, preferably in the center of the plaster is dispersed. Here, too, the metal body can be made of steel and surface-coated with germanium or a Ge alloy.
Die in dem Träger enthaltende Germaniummetallkörnung ist vorzugsweise so mengenmäßig bemessen, daß die Körner untereinander sich wenigstens so berühren, daß elektrische Leitfähigkeit vorhanden ist. Anstelle reinen Germaniummetalls kann auch eine metallische Germaniumlegierung beispielsweise eine Gold-Germanium-Legierung in einem solchen Trägerkörper dispergiert sein. Die Gold- Germanium-Legierung soll einen möglichst hohen Ge-Gehalt haben.The germanium metal grain contained in the carrier is preferably dimensioned such that the grains touch one another at least so that electrical conductivity is present. Instead of pure germanium metal, a metallic germanium alloy, for example a gold germanium alloy, can also be dispersed in such a carrier body. The gold germanium alloy should have the highest possible Ge content.
Die Gestalt des Metallkörpers auf dem Pflaster ist vorzugsweise die eines kreisförmigen oder vieleckigen Plättchens von etwa 5 - 10 mm Durchmesser und einer Dicke zwischen 1,5 und 3 mm. Die Oberfläche des Metallplättchens, welche beim Gebrauch der Hautoberfläche des Körpers zugewendet ist, bzw. mit dieser in Berührung gelangen soll, ist vorzugsweise zu einem Kegel geformt mit einer möglichst scharfen zentrischen Spitze. Der Kegelwinkel sollte so gewählt sein, daß unter Berücksichtigung der Abmessungen des Pflasters eine möglichst scharfe Spitze sich bildet.The shape of the metal body on the plaster is preferably that of a circular or polygonal plate approximately 5 to 10 mm in diameter and between 1.5 and 3 mm in thickness. The surface of the metal plate, which faces the skin surface of the body when it is in use or is intended to come into contact with it, is preferably shaped into a cone with a sharp center point. The cone angle should be chosen so that the sharpest possible tip is formed taking into account the dimensions of the patch.
Diese kann an dem Plättchen während des Preß-oder Gießvorganges gebildet werden oder sie kann angeschliffen sein, wenn das Metallplättchen, beispielsweise durch Abtrennen eines Scheibchens von einem Germaniumstab oder von einem Stab einer germaniumhaltigen Legierung entstanden ist. Besonders dann, wenn das Germaniummetall oder die germaniumhaltige Legierung in einem Trägerstoff, beispielsweise in ein Glas eingebettet ist, sollte die Oberfläche des Kegels, die der Hautoberfläche des Patienten zugewendet ist, angeschliffen sein, um eine Oberfläche metallischen Germaniums bloß zu legen.This can be formed on the plate during the pressing or casting process or it can be ground if the metal plate is formed, for example by separating a plate from a germanium rod or from a rod of a germanium-containing alloy. Particularly when the germanium metal or the germanium-containing alloy is embedded in a carrier, for example in a glass, the surface of the cone which faces the skin surface of the patient should be ground to expose a surface of metallic germanium.
Die Abmessungen des Pflasters, d.h. der Trägerunterlage mit der selbstklebenden Pflastermasse ist so bemessen, daß durch das Pflaster ein ausreichender Druck auf das Germaniumplättchen und damit eine innige, tiefe Berührung desselben mit der Hautoberfläche des Patienten zustande kommt. Um die metallische Oberfläche des Germaniummetallplättchens, bzw. des die germaniumhaltige Substanz enthaltenden Körpers gegen Umwalteinflüsse zu schützen, insbesondere die Bildung von staubförmigen Ablagerungen auf der Oberfläche des Metallplättchens zu verhindern, kann diese wie bei Verbandspflastern üblich, mit einer abziehbaren Schutzfolie oder -schicht abgedeckt sein. Das Pflaster kann streifenförmig, vieleckig, aber auch kreisrund sein. Zur Ausübung eines möglichst gleich gerichteten radialen Zuges auf das Germaniummetallplättchen ist das Pflaster vorzugsweise rund und sein Durchmesser sollte dem drei- bis fünffachen des Durchmessers des Metallplättchens entsprechen.The dimensions of the patch, i.e. the backing pad with the self-adhesive plaster mass is dimensioned such that the plaster causes sufficient pressure on the germanium plate and thus an intimate, deep contact thereof with the patient's skin surface. In order to protect the metallic surface of the germanium metal plate or the body containing the germanium-containing substance against environmental influences, in particular to prevent the formation of dust-like deposits on the surface of the metal plate, this can be covered with a removable protective film or layer, as is usual with bandaging plasters . The patch can be strip-shaped, polygonal, but also circular. In order to exert a radial pull on the germanium metal plate which is as uniform as possible, the plaster is preferably round and its diameter should correspond to three to five times the diameter of the metal plate.
Während die Anwendung des Germaniummetalls, bzw. germaniumhaltigen Materials in Form der Nadeln in an sich bekannter Akupunkturweise verwendet wird, geschieht die Verwendung des Pflasters in analoger Weise, d.h. es werden die unter Berücksichtigung der Haedschen Zonen so die entsprechenden Organpunkte ausgewählt, bzw. festgestellt und diese Stellen von Feuchtigkeit und Fett der Haut durch Abreiben mit einem entsprechenden trockenem Tuch oder einem Lösungsmittel vorbereitet, sodann wird das Pflaster mit dem metallischen Germanium oder der Germaniumverbindung derart auf diese ausgewählte Stelle aufgedrückt, daß die vorzugsweise kegelförmige Oberfläche des metallhaltigen Plättchens fest gegen die Oberfläche des Körpers drückt. Diese Applikation des Pflasters wird nun einige Tage, beispielsweise zwei bis drei Tage getragen, sodann wird das Pflaster entfernt und in unmittelbarer Nähe der ersten Anwendungsstelle erneut aufgeklebt und wiederum einige Tage getragen und das so lange, bis die Symptome der Krankheit, die es zu behandeln gilt, verschwunden sind.While the use of germanium metal or germanium-containing material in the form of needles is used in acupuncture mode known per se, the use of the plaster takes place in an analogous manner, i.e. the corresponding organ points are selected or ascertained, taking into account the Haedian zones, and these places of moisture and fat on the skin are prepared by rubbing with a suitable dry cloth or solvent, then the plaster with the metallic germanium or the germanium compound is made in this way pressed onto this selected point that the preferably conical surface of the metal-containing plate presses firmly against the surface of the body. This application of the patch is now worn for a few days, for example two to three days, then the patch is removed and applied again in the immediate vicinity of the first application site and again worn for a few days until the symptoms of the disease to be treated applies, have disappeared.
Entweder benutzt man zu Vornahme der zweiten Behandlung in unmittelbarer Anwendung der ersten Behandlung ein neues Pflaster oder man reinigt nach der Anwendung das Pflaster, indem man die Oberfläche des Metallplättchens mit Benzin oder Petroläther abwäscht.Either a new plaster is used to carry out the second treatment in the immediate application of the first treatment, or the plaster is cleaned after use by washing the surface of the metal plate with petrol or petroleum ether.
Es war überraschend festzustellen, daß Germanium diese besonders gesteigerte Wirkung im Heilungsprozeß bei den oben aufgeführten Krankheiten zeigt. Es ist dafür bis jetzt auch keine stichhaltige Erklärung möglich. Es wird jedoch vermutet, daß die Wirkung metallischen Germaniums auf den menschlichen Körper den besonderen chemischen und physikalischen Eigenschaften des Germaniums zuzuschreiben ist und dies gilt sowohl für das Germanium mit dem Atomgewicht 72,59 als auch für die häufigen natürlichen Isotopen.It was surprising to find that germanium shows this particularly increased effect in the healing process for the diseases listed above. So far, no valid explanation is possible. However, it is believed that the effect of metallic germanium on the human body can be attributed to the special chemical and physical properties of germanium, and this applies both to germanium with an atomic weight of 72.59 and to the common natural isotopes.
Bekanntlich ist Germanium ein Halbleiter, dessen elektrischer Widerstand sich mit der Temperatur und mit der Reinheit ändert.Germanium is known to be a semiconductor whose electrical resistance changes with temperature and with purity.
Es wird auch die Ansicht vertreten, daß bei Germanium aufgrund osmotischer Vorgänge an der Grenzfläche zwischen Metall und Haut ein Austausch von lonen, bzw. Elektronen stattfindet, die über die Wände der Kapillargefäße ins Blut eindringen und dort bestimmte Reaktionen hervorrufen. Diese Erklärung bietet sich aufgrund tausender von Heilungsbeispielen von Krankheiten, die im wesentlichen im Bereiche des Stoffwechsels, bzw. des Kreislaufs lagen.It is also believed that in germanium, due to osmotic processes at the interface between metal and skin, an exchange of ions or electrons takes place, which penetrate into the blood via the walls of the capillary vessels and cause certain reactions there. This explanation comes from thousands of healing examples of diseases that were essentially in the area of metabolism or circulation.
Eine Ausgestaltung der Anwendung metallischen Germaniums, bzw. einer germaniumhaltigen Verbindung oder -Legierung ist in der beigefügten Zeichnung in Form eines Pflasters dargestellt.An embodiment of the use of metallic germanium, or a germanium-containing compound or alloy is shown in the attached drawing in the form of a plaster.
Die Anwendung von Germanium in Form einer Nadel dürfte sich in Form einer Zeichnung erübrigen, da die Germaniumnadel der üblichen Akupunkturnadel nachgebildet ist.The use of germanium in the form of a needle may not be necessary in the form of a drawing, because the germanium needle is modeled on the usual acupuncture needle.
Aus der einzigen Figur geht hervor, daß das Pflaster aus einem Träger mit der darauf befindlichen Pflastermasse besteht und einem in seiner Gestalt kreisförmigen Plättchen aus Germanium das Plättchen kann aber auch aus einer Germaniumlegierung oder aus einem Träger, in welchem Germanium in metallischer Form dispergiert ist, bestehen. Statt eines kreisförmigen Plättchens kann dieses auch rechteckig oder quadratisch sein, in jedem Falle jedoch sollte die dem Körper zugekehrte Fläche eine möglichst scharfe, kegelförmige Gestalt haben.From the single figure it can be seen that the plaster consists of a carrier with the plaster mass thereon and a plate of germanium which is circular in shape, but the plate can also be made of a germanium alloy or from a carrier in which germanium is dispersed in metallic form, consist. Instead of a circular plate, this can also be rectangular or square, but in any case the surface facing the body should have the sharpest, conical shape.
Nach den bisherigen Erkenntnissen ist die Verwendung möglichst reinen Germaniums am wirkungsvollsten, gleich danach folgen in der Wirkung germaniumhaltige Legierungen, auch Sinterkörper aus körnigem Germanium sind sehr wirkungsvoll.According to the previous knowledge, the use of pure Germanium is most effective, followed immediately by alloys containing germanium, and sintered bodies made of granular germanium are also very effective.
