Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Germanium along with other trace elements, needed to boost immunity.
Cancer patients are having poor immune defense system. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy make immunity even more worse.
So these patients are at increased risk of infection.
So to prevent recurrent infection, immunity boosters are needed. And Germanium with other trace elements is useful in improving immunity in cancer patients.
So under guidance of doctor Germanium is useful to improve immunity.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
