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.
