U.S.
Senate Document 264, as well as the 1992 Earth
Summit statistics, indicates that the mineral
content of the world's farm and range soil has
decreased dramatically. Over the last 100 years, the
depletion of essential mineral nutrients in the soil
in North America is estimated to average 85%, with
some US farms depleted by 100%. This means that in
most cases we are getting as little as 15% of the
minerals and nutrients that were once readily
available in our food sources -- sometimes less.
These statistics show that the American soils are so
depleted of their natural resources that they no
longer provide plant foods with the mineral elements
essential to human nourishment and health!
The
natural extract from years of accumulated plant
deposit and from water running through the humic
deposit enters the plants through the root system.
These humic substances affect the soil and
consequently plant growth and quality. Also, as a
result of pesticide and herbicide usage and the
mineral and nutrient depletion, most of the
microbial life in the soil is gone. Without the
microbes necessary for plants to convert inorganic
substances to organic, the plants become deficient
in minerals and nutrients.
One
of the organic minerals that has been greatly
diminished through the years is fulvic acid (not to
be confused with folic acid). With less fulvic acid
produced, the plants themselves will take up less
minerals and nutrients. The deficiency of fulvic
acid may be the most critical factor missing in our
diets today. Fulvic acids are vital in delivering
substantial amounts of nutrients and minerals and
their energies to the living cells.
One
of the functions of fulvic acid is to balance and
energize all cell life and biological properties it
comes in contact with. In addition to the diminished
nutritional value of our food, and because the cell
walls get stiffer and thicker with age, they cannot
get as much vital nutrients and oxygen as they once
did. Fulvic acid is reported to relieve oxygen
deficiency and increase the vital activity of cells.
New energy will be gained just by providing your
stressed out cells with the nutrients and oxygen
needed.
Also,
if you can restore individual cells to their normal
chemical balance and electrical potential, then you
have given those cells life and the potential to
function at peak performance. Fulvic acid has been
reported to "induce revitalization" to the cells.
Flooding nutrients into your cells gives new
vitality and energizes the entire body.
When
fulvic acid acts upon a substance, its molecular
size and weight are altered. This reportedly enables
it to pass through cell membranes. Fulvic makes cell
walls more permeable, so nutrients can more easily
enter the cell, as well as allowing waste to leave
the cells more readily.
One
of the strongest advantages of fulvic minerals is
the belief that the absorption greatly exceeds
traditional tablet supplements. As with any nutrient
or supplement, the only way your body can benefit is
if it is absorbed. Fulvic is believed to enhance
this process. It also may intensify the metabolism
of proteins and is thought to increase the body's
ability to go after viruses, pathogens and bacterial
infections of all kinds. It therefore not only
bolsters immunity, it stimulates and helps to
regulate the immune system.
We
know that certain diseases are not caused by outside
invaders, but by the immune system's defense
mechanisms attacking the body itself. Fulvic acid is
thought to have the unique ability to selectively
suppress or inhibit certain immune responses, while
at the same time naturally increasing the body's
immune response where necessary. This ability to
selectively control, stimulate and regulate the
immune system is one of the reasons fulvic acid is
being studied with such enthusiasm.
In
addition to carrying essential nutrients to the
cell, it has been shown that fulvic acid may be an
excellent natural chelator of toxins and can reduce
them to a harmless state. Fulvic acid is effective
at neutralizing and detoxifying a wide range of
toxic materials, heavy metals and other pollutants.
It is essential to wash away the waste and toxins
that cells produce.
Harmful free radicals are known to circulate
throughout the body, injuring tissue, altering
genes, disrupting crucial processes in the body,
forming cell mutations and making cells susceptible
to infections and diseases. Free radicals are a
major contributing factor to nearly all situations
of non-ideal health.
Fulvic acid is believed to bond to these free
radicals, transforming them into organic, usable
substances, or if the cell is too damaged, it is
eliminated as waste.
All
cells have electrical potential, when the electrical
potential of a cell is reduced, progressive weakness
and illness may occur. A person's electrical
potential may be lowered by loss of blood or fluids,
overwhelming emotional stress, accidents, lack of
sleep, surgical shock, lingering infections, fatigue
or an unbalanced diet. Cells disintegrate when their
electrical potential is reduced to zero.
Scientists theorize that electrical and chemical
balances at the cellular level can be created and
controlled by electrolytes (substances that are
soluble in water and are capable of conducting
electrical current). Fulvic acid has been shown to
be one of nature's most powerful organic
electrolytes.>
Organic fulvic acid electrolytes charge, recharge
and restore the potential that is or once was normal
to the cell, and in doing so, balances and
supercharges cellular life. The fulvic acid
electrolytes are thought to greatly increase the
percentage rate of absorption through the digestive
system of minerals, nutrients, vitamins, herbs and
amino acids into the circulatory system.
In
addition, fulvic acid is considered by many to be
one of the safest and most powerful antiviral
substances known. Although not an antibiotic in the
technical sense, they provide an antibiotic-effect.
A generally accepted benefit of fulvic acid
supplementation is that it can be used indefinitely
without fear of creating antibiotic resistant
strains of disease.
When
combining fulvic acid with nutritional supplements,
you get the benefits of improved synergistic
reactions that you cannot get by taking the
ingredients individually.
As
unfair as it may seem, you cannot expect to live a
sedentary lifestyle, eat fast food, consume gallons
of caffeinated drinks, go without exercise and be in
optimal health just by adding a dietary supplement.
You must do all you can to help and support your
natural body processes. Providing your system with
necessary nutrients through supplementation is a
wise step, but you must also eat healthy, balanced
meals, get at least moderate exercise and plenty of
rest, and drink beverages that hydrate your body.
Take
control of your health today. A healthy lifestyle
can transform your life in ways you and your family
may really appreciate for years to come. |
