Amino Acids
When properly nourished, individual cells are capable of producing many of their own amino acids, enzymes and other factors necessary for all metabolic processes. Each cell burns its own energy, maintains itself, manufactures its own enzymes, creates its own proteins and duplicates itself.
It is essential to understand that the total metabolism of the body is the sum of the metabolic operations carried on in each individual cell.
Humans can produce all but eight amino acids within their cells. Fulvic Mineral Complex promotes the natural production of amino acids within the body.
Growth and Maintenance Nutrients
Scientists have identified at least 90 growth and maintenance nutrients which must be continuously supplied to sustain life. If we fail to supply adequate Fulvic nutrients, the cell will experience a breakdown. When the breakdown is substantial we have the onset of disease.
Today’s Epidemics of Disease
Headlines from Johns Hopkins, Reuters, the Associated Press and other medical news services continually discuss concern over the widespread and rapid increase of incurable infectious diseases, degenerative diseases, autoimmune and mental disorders. The incidence of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, asthma, AIDS and a host of other illnesses are reported to be advancing in epidemic proportions.
Medical research from scientists, doctors and pharmacologists from around the world are showing that the humic extract, Fulvic, can prevent, treat and sometimes even reverse many diseases that are thought to be incurable.
Autoimmune Disorders
Autoimmune Disorders is a catch-all phrase that includes a number of diseases such as Graves Disease, Lupus, MS, Parkinson’s Disease, Fibromyalgia, Alzheimer’s and rheumatoid arthritis. It is believed that the body attacks its own tissues and organs. Nutritionally oriented researchers feel the root cause is a virus.
In a recent issue of Annals of Rheumatic Diseases, doctors found that people with some autoimmune disorders have lower levels of common antioxidants in the blood. It is speculated that the naturally occurring antioxidants in these cases are being used to mop up damaging free radicals.
It is not clear whether the lower levels of antioxidants are the result of decreased intake, low absorption, or inadequate transport. An adequate supply of Fulvic would solve all of these conditions. Fulvic, when administered both topically and orally is proven to regulate the immune system and to work as potent antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. Serious diseases are sometimes 20 or 30 years in the making and may require lengthy and consistent treatment of this miracle molecule, as well as dietary changes, before a complete recovery is seen. However, it is important to remember that any disease can progress to a point-of-no-return where so much damage has been done to organs and cells that the condition cannot be reversed.
Thyroid Epidemic
A study by Dr. E. Chester Ridgeway, the University of Colorado’s chief endocrinologist, says that an estimated 13 million Americans may have undiagnosed thyroid problems. He states that even mild thyroid problems may cause serious consequences. Pregnant women with thyroid problems are in jeopardy of having children with lower IQ’s.
In many cases, natural therapies can prevent, treat and even reverse thyroid disease, including hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Graves Disease and Wilson’s Syndrome.
Symptoms of low thyroid could include; serious mental problems, depression, anxiety, seizures, ADD and ADHD, poor concentration, mental confusion, memory loss, cold hands and feet, low energy, difficult weight loss, migraine headaches, acne, low blood sugar, high cholesterol, heart disease, cancer, arthritis, diabetes, lung cancer, susceptibility to infections due to low immunity, and female problems.
Thyroid malfunction is generally due to buildup of dangerous toxins, chlorinated substances, viruses, pathogens, infections, pesticides, altered enzymes or hormones in the tissues of the thyroid gland. A prime objective for anyone with a thyroid problem is to eliminate intake of all toxins, while removing toxic buildup within the body.
Fulvic is one of the safest and most powerful antiviral substances known. It could be called nature’s antibiotic. But unlike chemical antibiotics, Fulvic may be used indefinitely without creating antibiotic resistance strains of disease.
Diabetes and Fulvic
Dr. Paul Zimmet of the International Diabetes Institute and the World Health Organization reported that the prevalence of diabetes is expected to double or even triple by the year 2010.
Most medical doctors and diabetes associations do not know that scientists in remote parts of the world are making significant inroads into the treatment and prevention of diabetes mellitus with Fulvic extracts and herbs.
Dr. Bhattacharya from the Institute of Medical Sciences at Banaras Hindu University in India recognized that Fulvics produced significant success in preventing and combating free radical damage to pancreatic islet B cells, which is the widely accepted cause for diabetes mellitus. Dr. Bhattacharya’s clinical studies showed that Fulvic diminished the development and progression of diabetes, and assisted in the treatment. Studies showed that patients became more energetic and the tingling, painful feeling and numbness in nerve endings disappeared.
Tuberculosis Solutions
An obscure and highly technical U.S. Government report shows that there is a direct correlation between natural soil substances (humic and fulvic) and the absence of tuberculosis in humans. This report and many other studies reveal that Fulvic contains a powerful spectrum of natural micronutrients, phytochemicals, anti-viral and antibiotic–like agents that directly inhibit and destroy disease pathogens, while fortifying and regulating the immune system, increasing overall health.
A report from the U.S. Department of Interior, Bureau of Mines, shows a direct correlation between coal miners that were exposed to humic substances and their complete absence of tuberculosis.
Cancer
Studies show that cancer needs an acid pH to survive. Vital-Earth’s Fulvic Mineral Complex falls in a neutral to alkaline range of 7.0 to 7.8 pH. It has also been shown that cancer cells produce their own oxidants that send signals through protein pathways, bombarding surrounding cells uncontrollably with damaging free-radicals. Super antioxidants work to obstruct the signaling protein pathways, neutralizing the spread of cancer.
Fulvic is nature’s most powerful antioxidant. Studies throughout the world show that Humic / Fulvic molecules carry both a negative and a positive charge, making them both donor and acceptor free radical scavengers and antioxidants. Although Fulvic taken orally may not reverse an advanced case of cancer, it has the potential of slowing its growth and is a powerful preventative, especially if accompanied by an alkaline forming diet.
HIV / AIDS
One pharmaceutical company has patented a humic based drug that purifies blood for transfusions, killing the HIV virus without damaging blood cells. The humic extract, Fulvic, has proven to be the most effective natural treatment against viruses of all kinds. Studies show that Fulvic is effective against common colds and flu viruses, including respiratory tract viruses, retroviruses, influenza viruses, and herpes simplex viruses.
Weight Loss
One side effect that many overweight people experience after taking Fulvic Mineral Complex on a regular basis is weight normalization / loss. Mineral deficient people and animals do not feel satisfied after eating a full meal. They eat larger quantities of food than most people, eat more meals, and snack excessively as their bodies are desperately searching for minerals. When adequate Fulvic Minerals are supplied, cravings diminish or go away, meals are not desired as often and smaller meals become the norm. As a result of these changes that occur naturally, it is common for overweight people to lose from 15 to 30 pounds in their first month or two without going on a specific diet. In following months the weight loss is less dramatic but steady. People of normal weight are unaffected.
Ancient Use
The use of Fulvic to treat disease has been documented back to the 15th century Ming Dynasty. In China, Humic and Fulvic was commonly used in hospitals and among the general population for the widespread treatment of diseases.
Since 1978, many medical schools and hospitals in China have engaged in extensive studies on the toxicology and pathological aspects of Humic and Fulvic and their clinical applications. Hundreds of research papers have now been published nationally in China … some having appeared in international journals.
Humic / Fulvic medicines are approved for internal and external use by the Chinese Drug Administration because of their non-toxicity. Hospitals in China reported that elderly patients regained appetite, slept better and became more energetic when given Fulvic on a regular basis.
Fulvic based products are being used in Germany for internal and external use for relief of rheumatism, and gastric disturbances in humans and animals. Studies of patients with gastric and duodenal ulcers showed that 91% improved when treated with Fulvic.
Other studies coming from India show that Fulvic is considered to be a powerful anti-aging therapy that also helped with symptoms of dementia.
Longevity and Anti-Aging
There are 5 documented cultures across the world whose people routinely live healthy, disease free lives to the age of 120 to 140. These amazing people have several denominators in common; They all live at a very high elevation; the annual rainfall is less than 2 inches, there is no industry to pollute the air, water or food, only natural fertilizer is used on their crops, their water source is “Glacial Milk”, which is high in minerals and Fulvic, and Western allopathic medicine is not available to them.
We cannot duplicate many of the conditions that these remote cultures are blessed with, but we can do a lot to help ourselves by avoiding packaged grocery store foods that contain chemicals, additives, artificial colorings, hydrogenated oils, MSG, carbonation and refined sugar.
But perhaps most important of all is to supplement with the Fulvic minerals that these long living, healthy cultures have an abundance of. When the Fulvic intake is adequate, most people report having more natural energy, sleeping better, being able to ward off colds and the flu, and reversing diseases. Many report a natural strengthening of muscles, firming of connective tissue which results in diminished wrinkling of the skin.
DOK F Process does not use chemicals, acids, air extrusion, or heat in our extraction process. Only cold, pure, biodisc water is used to extract our Fulvic solution from the cinnamon bark That is evidenced in the high alkaline pH, the mild, natural taste and the clear golden color. Fulvic Acid Minerals provides a naturally occurring assortment of 68 to 74 minerals and trace elements, as well as 100% Fulvic in solution.
Some manufacturers use nitric, sulfuric, ammonium hydroxide and citric acids in the extraction process to decrease extraction time, increase profits, or manipulate the strength of the mineral content. This practice leaves a caustic, alum like after-taste and lowers the Ph of the product which then requires preservatives. But worst of all, these chemicals kill Fulvic, and it becomes necessary to add sweeteners and flavoring to mask the vile taste. \
THE SCIENCE AND CHEMISTRY OF FULVIC ACID
Fulvic acid is involved in complex biochemical reactions in living plants and animals, which directly influence the very metabolic processes at the cellular level. To the science of living cells, fulvic acids are vital in bringing substantial amounts of nutrients and minerals into water solution and delivering their living energies to the living cells.
In terms of benefits to all living organisms, organic fulvic acids:
• Greatly enhance the bioavailability of important trace minerals.
• Regenerate and prolong the residence time of essential nutrients in the cells.
• Modify the damage of toxic compounds such as heavy metals and free radicals.
• Enhance the permeability of digestive, circulatory and cell membranes.
• Increase the metabolism of proteins contributing to RNA and DNA synthesis.
• Increase the activity of a multitude of enzymes.
THE ELECTRIC POTENTIAL OF A CELL IS ITS "LIFE FORCE"
Electrical stimulation in most cells is the equivalent of biological activity. The cells disintegrate when their electrical potential is reduced to zero. When the electrical potential is reduced, progressive weakness and illness may occur. A person’s electrical potential may be lowered by loss of blood or fluids, excessive emotional stress, accidents, lack of sleep, lingering infections, and an unbalanced diet.
Scientists theorize that electrical and chemical balances at the cellular level can be created and controlled by electrolytes. Perhaps the most effective known electrolyte found in nature is the powerful fulvic acid organic electrolyte that restores, regenerates, regulates and balances cellular life. When the cell is restored to its normal chemical balance, and thereby achieves its bio-electrical potential, life flourishes where sickness, weakness, disintegration and death would have resulted. This is the fulvic acid phenomenon.
SUPERCHARGE & EXTEND LIFE OF CELLS
Organic fulvic acid electrolytes contain and transport essential nutrients, essential and trace minerals in a highly charged bio-available form and serve as an outside electrical force. They charge, recharge and restore the potential that is or once was normal to the cell, and in doing so, balances and supercharges cellular life. The fulvic acid electrolytes act as a miniature battery charger, providing a small but constant charge of nutritional and mineral energy replacement. They create a natural balance for many life processes and help each cell perform at its maximum potential. Toxins and heavy metals are taken up by the fulvic acid electrolytes, to be carried away from the cell and discharged from the body.
YOU ARE WHAT YOU ASSIMILATE
As a transporter of energy-rich and bio-electrically charged nutrients and minerals, the fulvic acid electrolytes greatly increase the percentage rate of absorption through the digestive system of minerals, nutrients, vitamins, and herbs into the circulatory system. From there, they carry life force energetic compounds to and easily through the cell membrane, across the cytoplasm and directly to the nucleus of the cell.
At this point the Fulvic Acid electrolytes discharge electrical energy and their nutrient and mineral components. It is literally recharging and replacing exhausted or diminished components within the nucleus of the cell. The minerals and nutrient wastes are complexed and taken from the nucleus, then transported back across the cell for removal. Fulvic acid electrolytes act as a donor, and at other times as a receptor based on a cell’s requirement for balance. They also absorb both positive and negative electrical charges from free radicals in a process of neutralization.
When properly nourished, individual cells are capable of producing many of their own amino acids, enzymes and other factors necessary for all metabolic processes. Each cell burns its own energy, maintains itself, manufactures its own enzymes, creates its own proteins and duplicates itself.
It is essential to understand that the total metabolism of the body is the sum of the metabolic operations carried on in each individual cell.

DOCTORS MORE DANGEROUS THAN GUN OWNERS
A widely publicized report saying that as many as 98,000 people die each year in the United States from medical errors is conservative, and the number is probably much larger than that. The estimate by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) is low because it looked only at deaths of patients at hospitals. The Institute is a private, nonprofit organization that provides health policy advice under a congressional charter to the National Academy of Sciences.
Janet M. Corrigan is the IOM's director of health care services. The Institute is a private, nonprofit organization that provides health policy advice under a congressional charter to the National Academy of Sciences. She told reporters at a Capitol Hill briefing May 8 that the study did not look at medical-error deaths at nursing homes, emergency rooms or in doctors' offices. The mortality estimates are low also because most of the information was based on medical record reviews. Medical errors are a problem that has been hidden from the public for far to long.

Even worse than the original article (click here) reported, and the original study was bad enough.
Here are some other numbers to ponder:
Number of physicians in the US = 700,000
Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year = 120,000
Accidental deaths per physician = 0.171
Number of gun owners in the US = 80,000,000
Number of accidental gun deaths per year (all age groups) = 1,500
Accidental deaths per gun owner = 0.0000188
Therefore, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.
