fulvic acid

[Guest guest]

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? 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).
