TED'S REMEDIES
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand writes: "Very few people know about humic acid. In India it is called shaljit, which is an ancient Ayurvedic medicine, but more people however know about the people of Hunzas who live to be over 100 years old. The source of humic acid comes from the leornardite layers of the brown coal. Leonardite is the plant juices that dried up through oxidation. What is so interesting is that it was formed when dinosaurs were roaming the earth. To make a long story short, this humic acid contains an active ingredient called fulvic acid which has over 70+ minerals chelated. Farmers have known long ago feeding humic acid literally cures cows of mastitis, makes manure odorless, makes animals more docile, helps pigs, chickens, etc. be productive and reduce the need for antibiotics. Due to its antibiotic, antiviral the animals seems to recover quicker. One quick note, if you put too much humic acid (granules) more than 0.5% w/w in their feeds, some will get diarrhea for first 1-2 days - much has to do with detoxification. But after that they are normal. I have heard amazing stories about humic acid which I do not want to mention over the email. However for dogs, it helps them with their allergies, and helps dog recover faster from "unknown sickness". My veterinarian here (in Thailand) has a 100% failure rate; if I sent a sick dog to him, he will return me with a dead dog. As a result, I decided to feed my dog with humic acid mixed with vinegar. The amount is small, enough to make the solution light brown or dark brown after mixing in the water the dogs drink. Not only does the dog drink it, I myself use it to reduce the severity of cold virus.

It is presently being used in treatment of cancer, virus, as well as reduced tissue rejection, and treatment of burn victims. I like it because it helps me with better concentration.

You can get some cursory information from this website:

Which tells a little bit more. However, I got creative. I mixed H2O2 plus vinegar and enough humic acid to mixed to get a dark brown solution. The humic acid I used is a granulated kind. Of course you can get some more information (more formal) from this place:

Some people really got fancy and used fulvic acid portion during the brewing process of silver colloids to helps better absorption of silver to the body to improved its antibiotic and antiviral strength.

I find however, from an ancient Chinese text, that the treatment of hemorhagic virus using humic acid much more interesting. In general I used humic acid as a general cure-all much similar to apple cider vinegar. However, I mixed vinegar with humic acid - instead of using apple cider vinegar due to budgetary constraints of buying organic Apple Cider Vinegar.

FULVIC ACID READER FEEDBACK

[YEA]  03/22/2009: Dave from Friend, Ne writes: "Fulvic acid fertilizer: Contrary to what some believe, I have been using humic/fulvic acids in my fertilizer program since 1994. I balance the soil with the help of these fine products to help Mother Nature build a healthy soil> Then I have a healthy crop, and Bovines eat it and they become healthy etc."

02/21/2009: Dave from Friend, Ne. writes: "I use humic acid in the soil. It is "hydrogen" or digestor of the soil. If the digestor is weak or missing, what do you suppose will happen to all that fertilizer that American Ag producers use? And could that be one reason that there is Nitrates in our water? Please read articles from The Albreght Papers (google search ) and you will learn just like this wonderful place @ Earth Clinic
Thank you..."

[YEA]  12/27/2008: Bronwyn from LA, USA writes: "For years I've suffered severe neck and back pain, diagnosed as fybromyalgia. 7 days on fulvic acid has relieved 90% of the pain! I haven't felt this good in years! I've gained vitality, clarity, hope and concentration. I can't recommend it enough."

[YEA]  09/30/2008: Candice from Walker, Louisiana writes: "Fulvic and Humic Acid: This stuff is abosolutely the most amazing natural cure i've tried yet. I have some kind of hormone or thyroid condition and the doctors were never able to find anything wrong with me. It's caused all kinds of problems. Irregular periods, forgetfullness, weight gain, dry cracked feet, no energy, hair loss, dry brittle hair etc. I have taken humic and fulvic acid for 18 days and have so much energy (like drinking 5 cups of coffee) Also I can finally remember things. It was so bad I would forget what I was talking about in a conversation. I have stopped losing so much hair and am losing weight. We will have to see if if helps the irregular periods and cracked feet. But thing stuff is absolutely amaging. I got it from _____. Contains 72 minerals and vit c, a and e."

[YEA]  10/29/2007: Robert from Independence, OR writes: "I wanted to point out the difference between so called colloidal minerals, leached brown coal and real medical grade fulvic acid called Wujinsan in China. Wujinsan means black gold medicine and has been in the Chinese medical literature since the Ming dynasty of the 14 century. It is a popular and valuable medicine in modern China. It has to pass quality control criteria and be free of toxic elements. Fulvic acid makes the cell membranes more permeable and also ionize minerals allowing the minerals into the cells. This is a very bad situation if toxic metals or chemicals from the raw materials. It must be very pure and the process is slow and involved. There is only one true Wujinsan Lab in the U.S. It involves fermentation with specific beneficial microbes as true fulvic acid is fungal derived. The product is free of any detectable metals other than necessary one like zinc. Products called "colloidal minerals " are a witches brew of what they claim is 74-84 elements. The problem is we only need maybe 26 of those and the rest are either toxic or useless. You never want to intentionally take a product that contains Aluminum, mercury, lead, cadmium, etc.in any form. leading alternative doctors buy real medical grade wujinsan from ____product made near the Oregon coast. The analysis is provided as required by state law. check out ____ or ___ for the real facts on the real and proven product made in the U.S with U.S raw materials that even the Chinese consider to be better than the Chinese humates."

[YEA]  08/15/2007: Jackie from Grand Rapids, Minn. writes: "____.com seems a good source for this product. they write on how it is manufactured that their product contains 100% and others have only a fraction. Interestingly they stress it cannot be taken with city water because of chlorine in city water and some fulvic companies who don't know this are using chlorinated water to extract it. 1 mo. supply about $40. and product contains 70 minerals (don't remember if it lists percentages)"

[YEA]  03/02/2007: Jane from Wellington, NZ writes: "Could someone from New Zealand or Australia tell me where to buy Fulvic and Humic Acid please!"

[YEA]  08/10/2005: Nguyen from Vietnam writes: "I am 35years old, living in Vietnam. As you know, VN is an agriculture country (80% of population) and there are many peat-area. I am looking for technology, equipments that can help me to extract humic acid from peat - this is a good target in business and support my peasants in VN for better life. Please kindly contact me with my above email address. I do hope to be advised from you how to extract humic acid. Thank you in advance."

[QUESTION]  11/02/2009: Dianna from Citrus Heights, Ca writes: "I've submitted this question previously with no response. I know Ted is busy but I am really hoping for some guidance. I've found a few websites selling it but the ingredients differ so it is confusing for a layperson such as myself to determine which is the best and/or what to look for in a fulvic acid product.
