The MANY Benefits Of Humic Mineral Complex

Humic mineral complex is the smallest, most complex, most highly refined naturally occurring water-soluble substance on earth.  It is an all-natural substance that has been extracted from ancient deposits of organic matter. It can be refined for human use as a dietary supplement.  Tiny amounts remarkably transform the molecular structure of water, making it intensively more active and penetrating.  Humic mineral complex then assists water in its job of dissolving and transporting.  It helps carry nutrients into the cell and waste products away from the cell, while also helping to neutralize toxins and invaders.

 

 

It is only recently that scientific research has been performed on humic minerals. It is a large, long-chain molecule that can be isolated in a relatively pure form from the soil's humate layer.  Scientific studies have shown that it impairs the attachment of the HIV-1 virus, one of the viruses responsible for the development of AIDS.  Herpes simplex virus infections have been found to be impeded.

Another study examined influenza viruses, including the swine flu, with the same results.  Exotic viruses like the West Nile Virus, hemorrhagic fever and Coxsackie viruses have been found to be inhibited by humic acid mineral complex.  There is every reason to expect that its antiviral properties are broad spectrum, meaning it may have usefulness against the Asian or bird flu pandemic.

The mechanism of action of humic mineral complex in these cases is believed to be the blockage of a virus particle from attaching to and entering a healthy cell.  Viruses can't replicate or divide without entering and taking over the cell's DNA for the making of more virus particles.  By keeping one virus particle from becoming thousands, it effectively blocks the infection from happening.

Humic mineral complex has also been scientifically shown to be a free radical scavenger.  Free radicals are "broken" molecules that are off-balanced from the standpoint of having too many electrons on them.  They are dangerous to healthy, living cells.  Free radicals can interfere with out DNA and the effect can be cancer-causing.  By binding them up, humic acid mineral complex makes free radicals safe from us.

Humic mineral complex is a potent chelator as well.  A chelator is a molecule that binds metals, including toxic heavy metals.  It is able to scavenge for these heavy metals and eliminate them from the body.  It seems to increase the permeability of cell walls, allowing for easier transfer of nutrient metals.  Research indicates that humic acid can bind to essential metals as well; much like soil humic acid did millions of years ago it can provide nutrients to living things growing in the soil.  It's felt that by binding to healthy metals, humic acid can aid in their absorption in the body.

Humic mineral complex also seems to modulate or regulate the effects of our stress hormones.  Because of its size, it likely blocks the stress hormones from reaching the receptor site.  Interestingly, a study out of Penn State found that rats with humic acid showed much lower levels of stress hormones than those that didn't.

Our immune system, too, reaps the benefits of humic acid.  Humates can increase polysaccharide sugars in our body which bind to Killer T Cells (immune killer cells) and facilitate communication between the Killer T Cells and other body cells.  The function of Killer T cells is then modulated by the polysaccharides.  Excessive Killer T Cell function in the body is part of what facilitates auto-immune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.

Humic mineral complex has anti-inflammatory properties.  While its full effect is not understood, it has been shown to diminish cervical inflammation in subjects with cervicitis.  In the years before we depleted our growing soil, humic acid mineral complex was a natural part of the food chain.  Without it, we're missing something that seems to have healthful benefits against viruses, heavy metal toxicity and dangerous free radicals.

 

 

・ What is the humic acid in Liquid ZeoO Cellular Zeolite?

Humic Acids are biological compounds created by Mother Nature. We call it life’s elixir from the earth." These composites were originally deposited by pristine, ancient forests and compacted and transformed over millions of years, waiting to be extracted for our use today.The roots of humic acid originate in early Native American traditions. Humic acid preparations contain the richest source of 100% bioavailable micro and macro mineral nutrients. Humic substances are the link between the living and the nonliving in nature. They were orchestrated by Mother Nature to bridge this gap. Furthermore, humic acids are able to beneficially influence and guide living organisms in various, unique stages of their life and growth. When the proper amounts of humic substances are dissolved in water, the water takes on a new form, becoming molecularly restructured. Humic acids cause water to form pyramid shaped molecules (tetrahedrons) that have valuable, unique medicinal properties. 

・ Why does combining cellular zeolite with humic acid create a more powerful effect than using zeolite alone or water?

Zeolite is a complex organic molecule that is not readily absorbed by the cells or the intestines. Thus, when zeolite is chemically dissolved in a simple water solution, or when taken as a straight mineral supplement in capsule form, its therapeutic effect is not as beneficial as it is when combined with an all natural, organic, bio-active intracellular carrier such as humic acid or fulvic acid. 

 

 

Humic Concentrate

Scientists, researchers, university professors, and many other authorities on humic substances, have discovered and demonstrated that humic substances prevent viral illness, naturally and safely, by preventing viruses from binding with cells, replicating, and infecting cells, thereby helping the body fight herpes, HIV, flu, colds, and other viral illnesses.

In addition, research in Germany, Poland, Russia, South Africa, and the United States has shown that humic substances reduce inflammation and alleviate rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, eczema, irritable bowel syndrome, psoriasis, lupus, and multiple sclerosis.


Here are brief excerpts from just a few of the hundreds of scientific studies that have been conducted so far of the anti-viral effects of humic acid:

"…natural-product humate(s) (Humic Acid) were found to be quite effective against all three influenza viruses." 

National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the auspices of the National Institutes of Health,

August 2001 - January 2002 


"As shown, the (Humic Acids) exhibited substantial efficacy against both hemorrhagic fever viruses….natural-product HA (Humic Acid) particularly so against Punta Toro A virus." 

National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the auspices of the National Institutes of Health,

August 2001 - January 2002 



"It is therefore concluded that it is possible to test the anti-viral effects of all four (Humic Acid) compounds up to 500 ug/mL without any drug-related cytotoxicity." "Furthermore, three series of experiments were designed to explore the potential mecha-nisms of action. The first series of experiments demonstrated that all four compounds (of Humic Acid) can inactivate both herpes simplex virus 1 and herpes simplex virus 2 infections with different anti-viral activities. The second series of experiments demonstrated that the compounds (of Humic Acid) can protect cells against herpes simplex virus 1 and herpes simplex virus 2 infection. The third series of experiments demonstrated that the compounds (of Humic Acid) can interfere with the proliferation of herpes simplex virus 1 and herpes simplex virus 2 after the virus enters the cells."

"Humic Acid inhibits the in-vitro replication of influenza virus A/WSN/33 (H1N1) in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells at concentrations of no cytotoxicity. The IC50 for Humic Acid was 48.61 +/- 7.32 microg/ml and 55.27 +/- 5.46 microg/ml respectively when the compound was added at the stage of viral adsorption or post-adsorption. Humic acid inhibits the endonuclease activity of viral RNA polymerase."

"For each sample, three concentrations of test article (Humic Acid) were prepared… and each injected into the tail veins of 10 Swiss Webster mice… at dose levels of 50 mg/kg of body weight, 25 mg/kg, and 12.5 mg/kg… the mice were examined for symptoms of toxicity for 14 days. All animals survived the test, and in my opinion, the clinical observations made were not indicative of toxicity."

"…the ability to inhibit the replication of wild-type strains (of HIV-1) is an obvious (and, arguably, the most important) prerequisite in order that any HIV-1 drug be considered useful. The results obtained to date have shown that (natural) Humic Acid as well as synthetic humic acid(s) do, in fact, inhibit the replication of HIV-1 wild-type strains, in addition to assaulting in a unique way the intracellular replicative events of the virus." "It was found in this work that both synthetic as well as naturally-occurring humic substances extracted from soil are in fact capable of inhibiting HIV-1 replication."

Research team at USC School of Medicine, January, 1998. 


"The Humates are potent inhibitors of acute HIV infection in antiviral evaluation models. The present studies point to an antiviral target occurring before proviral integration, possibly involving virus attachment and entry." "We were able to confirm antiviral activity for the humates and define their potential antiviral target to the pre-integration phase of HIV replication, providing preliminary data that a portion of the antiviral activity is due to inhibition of virus attachment."

"(Humic Acid) inhibited HIV-1 infection of MT-2 cells with an IC(50) of 12.5 microg/ml. Treatment of free and cell-attached HIV with (Humic Acid) irreversibly reduced infectivity, while the susceptibility of target cells to the virus was not impaired by treatment prior to infection. The infectivity of the HIV particles was inhibited by interference with CD4 binding and the V3 loop-mediated step of virus entry. No viral resistance to (Humic Acid) developed over a 12-week period in vitro. (Humic Acid) therefore holds promise for the treatment of HIV-infected patients."

"Humic acids are natural constituents of soil and ground water and mainly consist of mixtures of polycyclic phenolic compounds. (Humic Acid) inhibited HIV-1 infection of MT-2 cells with an IC50 of 50-300 ng/ml. Inhibition of HIV-induced syncytium formation was observed at 10-50 micrograms/ml. Treatment of free and cell-attached HIV with (Humic Acid) irreversibly reduced its infectivity. (Humic Acid) interfered with the CD4-induced proteolytic cleavage of the V3 loop of virion gp120SU. Furthermore, binding of V3 loop-specific antibodies was irreversibly inhibited, whereas binding of soluble CD4 to gp120SU on virus and infected cells was not affected. In conclusion, our data suggest, that the (Humic Acid) inhibits the infectivity of HIV particles by interference with a V3 loop-mediated step of virus entry."

Other studies found that humic acid:


1) increases the body’s intake of calcium and magnesium (alkalizing minerals) by 50%, sodium and potassium by 16%, and manganese, iron, and zinc by 80%,

2) helps the liver metabolize the simple sugars leucine and uridine into adenosine triphosphate (ATP, the nucleotide commonly regarded in biochemistry as the “molecular currency” of intracellular energy transfer), and

3) combines with molecules that carry oxygen in your blood, which increases ATP and cellular energy. (Most diseases abhor oxygenated, aerobic environments.
