The Living Force
Due to the recent importance of the iodine topic, I've been studying the periodic table trying to identify other elements that might be significant for health which may have been overlooked. The best candidate I've come across so far is germanium -- It's been mentioned briefly and sporadically on the forum, but I don't see anything that really treats it in much detail so I wanted to open a thread on it to see if it deserves more serious attention. Based on what I've read so far, it's claimed to boost oxygen levels in the body and act as both an antimicrobial and anti-cancer agent; it's also supposed to be good for the glandular/endocrine system. Here are some articles, the first two of which having additional links:

There are also a few books on it:
Miracle Cure: Organic Germanium
Germanium: A New Approach to Immunity
Germanium: The Health and Life Enhancer
There seem to be only a few brief videos about this on YouTube, of which this is one:
