Guest guest Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 > Has anyone tried fulvic acid? There is a non-commercial site at http://www.fulvic.com/index.html whose stated purpose is to keep track of the studies done and disseminate the information. There is some amazing stuff here all backed up by studies-which are cited. First of interest here is- it is a chelator AND detoxifys pesticides, herbicides, etc. It helps the body balance mineral ratios and aids in the transport/utilization of vitamins and enzymes. It also claims to bolster and regulate the immune system, fights off viruses and bacteria, increases T-cell, granulocyte and cytokine production, improves the function of the thymus (they even cited studies where it cured hemorrhagic fever and rheumatoid arthritis!) WOW! I hope everyone takes the time to browse this site and offers some feedback. After reading this site, I started searching for a product to try. There is an mlm out there selling a 60-plus mineral product (called something like doc's rocks) which contains fulvic acid. BUT-It also contains lead and mercury!! It's supposedly taken from some pristine, prehistoric lakebed out west. They claim, since these are chelated and plant derived, that they are non-toxic. Any of you bio-chemists care to comment on that? Don't take the stuff. Toxic metals aren't safe to ingest in chelated form. I doubt fulvic acid chelates them well enough to compete with the cysteine residues in yoour body anyway. Andy >It sounds pretty strange to me. In the meantime, I will continue to search for another product containing just fulvic acid (though I fear one doesn't exist). > N. > > > [Non-text portions of this mess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 30, 2001 Report Share Posted June 30, 2001 Mike, Did you click on the site I listed? There are many human studies there. Go to the right hand side and click on immune system. There is a study treating hemmorhagic fever. Under autoimmune, there's a study showing effective treatment of arthritis. (these are just the two I remember) Initially, research was done with plants which led to human studies. Please go back and check it out and then post or e- mail me with your thoughts. Thanks, N. -- In @y..., Mike Menkes <mikemenkes@y...> wrote: > > : > I reviewed the science citations, and, it appears to me that fulvic acid does well for flowers, vegetables, herbs, grass, when applied to the soil.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Shilajit does contain Fulvic Acid....its the main component. ITs a well known ayurvedic remedy....with a lnog back ground of use.... if it was a very dangerous or toxic substance it would not have gained a good reputation. Do the searches please before perhaps putting other people off what might be a very useful substance. OF course there are other products that are not obtained from rock pitch/resins.....and I believe I have posted a link for these. Thank You ANNE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
