Melatonin has several interesting properties and people are too focused on sleeping properties when it could do more. The one thing i don't like about supplements is they keep adding calcium, and if given enough prevents a lot of benefits as they are also needed by mycobacterium to protect themselves from the onslaught of immune system. There are two philosophies of treatment, turtle and the rabbit analogy I have to mention. In the rabbit analogy, you give it all at one, the turtle analogy is to give them in small but steady dose. In my opinion most remedies work because the slow and steady wins the race. To give it all at once can also be harmful.
As far as humic acid and fulvic acid, it is given at 1/16 teaspoon each twice a day at least, with psyllium husk if possible one glass and this will help ulcers too. If Gum arabic is used it is great, as they are absorbed in gastrointestinal tract to produce butyric acid and does have some psyllium husk properties as well. The humic and fulvic acid is to reduce diarrhea common with ulcerative colitis.

09/03/2011: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Just the melatonin and the humic and fulvic acid
No. Aloe vera also.
Is the acid liquid or powder.
Either, but I prefer fulvic and humic in powder.
How do I take it
Read previous postings, but it is taken 1/16 teaspoon a day with psyllium husk.
With meals Does it matter.
No.
Should I do both at the same time, the melatonin and the acid
It doesn't matter.
Should I change my diet in any way
No sugars or fruits (contain sugar). No vegetable oils, they make conditions much worse.
And what about aloe Vera or anything else
There are many things, but try this first.
Do you think this will be enough to help with my symptoms
Depends on individual due to different biochemical imbalances. It is best to start simple first then whenever any problems occur, those are specifics we have to deal with.

7. A fulvic acid mixture must always be combined with sodium thiosulfate and sea salt. Most important is that in a water solution before adding fulvic acid or humic acid, a sodium thiosulfate must be added. Sea salt in higher concentrations often acts as a preservative, but a wrong kind of sea salt may cause fulvic acid to precipitate within hours, which may reflect wrong pH and may need adjustment to maintain the suspension.
Is this also right for me
