Right, let’s get on with the serious matter of nutrients that cannot (easily) be found in food.
If you travel along South Africa’s Garden Route, you will notice the unusual colour of the rivers. Some call them “coffee-coloured” (yes, there actually are people who cannot stop thinking about coffee wherever they go). Others call them “tea-coloured” (these people invariably speak English as a first language). And some excitable marketers call them “champagne-coloured” (say no more). Whatever your beverage of choice, the unusual colour of the water defies description. It varies from dark brown, nearly black, to a light shade of orange.
The first time you cross a bridge and see the fresh brown water flowing way down there, you may find it weird. But by the next bridge, you’re already used to it. And so you cross bridge after bridge without asking, “Why?”
Why is the river water so brown?
We’re glad you asked – finally!
When a tree falls in the forest, it makes a massive sound, even if no-one is there to hear it (and if a man talks aloud in a forest, he is wrong, even when his wife isn’t there to hear him). Once the tree has fallen, decomposition sets in. The forest giants in the Garden Route can weigh as much as a whale. In the humid conditions, fungi and bacteria set to work to digest the massive carcass so it can be recycled into food for new trees. This process takes decades, even centuries. Forests have time.
Much of the wood ends up as humic and fulvic acids. These stem (no pun intended) from the trunk and wooden parts of the tree. The molecules that make wood hard are called lignans. These are the origin (after digestion by fungi) of humic and fulvic acids. The constant rains leech these acids into the soil and eventually it ends up in the rivers, turning them a rich red-brown.
In places like Japan, where dead trees ended up under lava and debris, the acids remain trapped. Nowadays, they are mined and sold as something called “shilajit”. Yes, that sounds like something you say when load shedding starts a minute early or you hit your thumb with a hammer. But it’s a real word. In Sanskrit, it means “mountain conqueror”, which can either refer either to the trouble of getting it, or to the health effects it has.
You see, fulvic acid is not a mere waste product, an accident of nature. It is a fundamental building block of forest life, with unique health benefits you won’t easily find elsewhere.
Here are some benefits of taking fulvic acid
* It kills ALL viruses (including The Virus That May Not Be Named).
* It kills most nasty fungi, especially Candida.
* It kills most parasites, including malaria.
* It selectively kills bad bacteria, while helping good ones to thrive.
* It binds heavy metals, making it possible for them to be excreted.
* It binds urea in the brain (as it does in the soil). Urea is a major cause of many diseases of the brain.
* It has potent anti-inflammatory effects.
* It boosts and balances the immune system.
* It has powerful benefits against auto-immunity, such as arthritis and SLE, to name but a few.
* It can cure allergies, if taken long enough (about three to six months).
* It boosts the absorption of good minerals.
* It is a powerful antioxidant, neutralising free radicals, which are toxic to the cell.
* It causes all cancer cells to self-destruct (apoptosis).
* It strengthens the gut mucosa, leading to healing from ulcers, leaky gut and more.
Oh, and one more (for good luck):
* It inhibits the proliferation of mRNA (Hmmmmm).
So why isn’t everyone taking it? Should we be putting this in our drinking water?
OK, so there isn’t enough fulvic acid in that brown river water. You’d need to drink lots of that water to get to a useful therapeutic dose. On the other hand, shilajit is rippingly expensive. Not for mere mortals.
Trust Integrow Health to find a solution. We’ve invested in something called CHD-FA. That stands for Carbohydrate-Derived Fulvic Acid. That’s simply a grand way of saying that the factory turns innocent potatoes into fulvic acid using a cold process. Call it “potato conqueror” if you will, or “spud sludge”.
Since this process delivers a liquid, we sell fulvic acid as a liquid, with about 500 mg of fulvic acid per 15 ml of liquid (roughly a one day dose).
Another advantage of CHD-FA is that it does not contain any heavy metals. Shilajit and fulvic acid derived from brown coal has been in contact with the soil for a very long time. As such, it is likely saturated with heavy metals. Our Spud Sludge does not have any heavy metal hiding in it (and no rock or pop, either).
The other reason people don’t drink fulvic acid is because it tastes like brown vinegar gone wrong.
So, for the faint-hearted, we offer it in capsule form.
We also sell the liquid in a buffered version. This is not so acidic and the taste is more bearable.
When do you want liquid and when do you want capsules?
The liquid delivers double the dose of he capsules, and it is instantly available to the body.
* For sore throats, tonsillitis, mouth ulcers: Gargle with the diluted liquid (buffered or natural).
* For wounds that do not want to heal, put on some diluted liquid (buffered).
* For Candida infections, feed the beast some diluted liquid (natural).
The following applications can use either capsules or liquid (buffered or natural):
* Immunity, allergies, auto-immunity
* Cancer
* Metal detox
* Parasites, viruses or microbes in the body
* Brain health
The dosage for children is 5 ml on a glass of water. For kids 12 years and older, (including adults), the dosage is 15 ml on a glass (or more) of water.
The capsule dosage is one to two capsules daily.
Some ideas how diluted fulvic acid can be used:
* Drink it to clean the body and boost immunity
* Apply it on the skin to treat acne or fungal infections
* Gargle with it to clear throat infections
* As a nasal spray for sinusitis and runny nose
