Dear Friends,
Welcome to summer 2008 and another issue of Dr. Mike's Health Newsletter. The tall grass, blossomed flowers and full trees are an appropriate segue into this month's topic - Fulvic Acid. Just what is this thing called fulvic acid that people ask about quite frequently? Let's take a look!

Fulvic
Acid has gained a lot of attention since its inclusion in various nutritional
products, but its benefits are not clearly understood by many.
The
Britannica Encyclopedia defines the chemical compound, Fulvic Acid, as one of
two classes of natural acidic organic polymer that can be extracted from humus
found in the soil, sediment, or aquatic environments. It is believed to
originate as a product of microbial metabolism.
Before
our soil was over-farmed, depleted and, at the same time, saturated with
pollutants, it had an exceptional abundance of minerals, trace elements and
rich humus soil teeming with beneficial microbes. Plants were numerous,
lush and loaded with minerals and would eventually breakdown from the natural
process of decay. From this natural result of the their breakdown, humic
substance or fulvic acid was formed, a part of the recyling process for new
vegetation regrowth and essential for maximum human health. Unfortunately, the
humus deposits rich with fulvic acid have been missing from our diets for
generations. They are quite rare in this generation and can only be found in
very limited areas of the world. |
Fulvic Acid is
created in extremely small amounts by millions of beneficial microbes working
on decaying plant matter. Because
of this low molecular weight, fulvic acid has the ability to easily dissolve and bond minerals and nutritional
elements into its molecular structure.
Nutrients that have been chelated (bonded) by fulvic acid are in the perfect
and natural form to interact with and be absorbed by living cells. Fulvic Acid
is so powerful that one single fulvic acid molecule is capable of
carrying 60 or more minerals and trace elements into the cells.
Therefore, re-mineralization of our bodies
without the fulvic acid (that should be in the plants we eat), has little
benefit. People are sick with degenerative and deficiency related
diseases now more than ever. Fulvic acid supplementation is a good start
toward reversing this situation.
One of the strongest advantages of fulvic
acid minerals is that 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 acid enhances this
process.

Since fulvic acid allows such an increase in
nutrient absorption, it has the ability to make a profound impact on a wide
variety of health issues and diseases that have arisen in the last several
decades. Here are just a few of the benefits of fulvic acid:
- Increased energy
- Powerful antioxidant and free
radical scavenger
- Chelates heavy metals and
body toxins, allowing them to be transported out of the body
- Transports nutrients into the
cells
- Powerful natural electrolyte
- Restores electrochemical
balance
- Increases activity of many enzyme
systems
- Rebuild the immune system
- Increases bioavailability of
nutrients and minerals
As
you can see, the inclusion of fulvic acid in supplements, particularly mineral
formulas, has a powerful effect on nutrient absorption and thus overall health.
In
addition to benefits for health, there is a huge potential agriculturally to
replenish and thus "heal" our soils which have been so overused and
depleted of minerals. Additionally, fulvic acid has the capacity to neutralize radioactive and toxic
wastes!
This is the reason why Fulvic Acid is an integral part of the Drucker Labs line of organic carbon-bonded supplements.
Thank you once again for reading. Have a wonderful healthy summer.
Until next month, I remain yours in good health,
Dr. Mike
