Fulvic acid

[Guest guest]

Hi Oxyplus list....

I've recently become intrigued by fulvic acid. I know there have been

a few at least smatterings of discussions about fulvic acid, but

I didn't grasp much. And the one product I remember being mentioned

I called about and found was only available to practitioners.

Now, reading more, I think fulvic acid is worth continued exploration.

Following are excerpts from a site selling fulvic acid minerals, but

some good info (I took out anything about sales.) The only ways I

can find to purchase it are as part of these mineral products or

as a plant/soil product.

Please read on. I'm hoping for your thoughtful and informed ideas,

thoughts, opinions, sources.

Fulvic acid is " a water-soluble, natural organic substance of low molecular

weight which is derived from humus, often found in surface water. " –

Water Quality Association

Fulvic acid is one of several subclasses of humic acids...which have the

ability to chelate positively charged ions, such as elemental minerals.

Once an elemental mineral is reacted on by fulvic acid and photosynthesis,

it is changed from inorganic to organic. This process is called

TRANSMUTATION. As we read in ‘Biological Transmutations,’ fulvic acid can

actually transmutate magnesium and vegetal silica into a form of calcium

that can be used by humans.

When positively charged minerals are absorbed by plants, their bioelectrical

polarity is changed to a negative charge. Whenever normally toxic minerals,

such as iodine, are absorbed and transformed by plants, they become

non-toxic.

It may be the chelation factor that accounts for the ability of fulvic acid to

neutralize the toxicity of heavy metals such as lead. The actual mechanism

that

fulvic acid uses to chelate minerals has yet to be ascertained. Although we

know

that this neutralization happens, the mechanics of the process are still

one of nature’s secrets.

Whenever minerals come into contact with fulvic acid, in a water medium,

they

are naturally dissolved into an ionic form. These minerals literally become

part of the fulvic acid itself. Once the minerals meld into the fulvic acid

complex, they become bioactive, bioavailable, and organic. Thus, when

elemental minerals are transformed into an organic state, through a natural

chemical

process involving fulvic acid and photosynthesis, they are safe to be used by

both humans and animals.

The presence of fulvic acid also acts as an important protective agent

whenever

toxins are used to reduce the insect population that often besiege non-

organically grown crops. According to A. Szalay, fulvic acid has the

ability to dramatically detoxify herbicides, pesticides, and other poisons

that it

interacts with – this includes many radioactive elements. This detoxification

process may extend to animals and humans, since we are the end-users of these

plants.

In humans:

~ According to N. Senesi, Y. Chen, and M. Schnitzer, fulvic acid has the

ability to dramatically reduce the oxidative effects of free-radicals.

~ Fulvic acid increases the activity of several enzymes, including:

transaminase, invertase, and alkaline phosphates.

~ Fulvic acid may also have a positive effect on RNA and DNA. According to

several researchers, the actual content of DNA in cells and the synthesis

of RNA is enhanced by the presence of fulvic acid.

~ In one experiment, patients who required the replacement or transplantation

of bone were treated at the University Hospital in Freiburg, Germany using

fulvic acid as part of the therapy. Due to the lack of human donor tissues,

animal bone in the form of bovine calcium hydroxyapatite, an inorganic

calcium compound, was used.

Two problems with such a procedure is that neither animal bones or inorganic

calcium are readily absorbed by the human body. However, these problems were

circumvented with the use of fulvic acid.

When fulvic acid was inserted into the animal bone before replacement, the

patients experienced dramatically improved regeneration of the transplanted

bones. The fulvic acid was so readily accepted and used by the patients that

their bodies became highly osteoconductive...new bone tissue began to form at

an accelerated pace, thereby enhancing growth and healing. The inorganic

calcium was also absorbed by the body due to the fact that the fulvic acid

had transformed it into an organic compound.

~ When fulvic acid acts upon a substance its molecular size and weight is

altered. This enables it to pass through cell membranes – including the

semi-permeable membranes that line your intestines. ~ Vitamins and minerals

....their bioavailability may be enhanced by the addition of fulvic acid.

Fulvic acid is present in every true plant-derived, organic mineral. The same

cannot be said for elemental minerals which are derived from rocks, shells,

and certain clays. fulvic acid itself can contain as many as 60 different

mineral compounds – this is above and beyond any other source of minerals

with which it is joined.
