Since relatively strong acidic and alkaline groups may occur within the humic
molecule, this results in a dipolar ionic structure similar to that of proteins. Like
proteins humic molecules are capable of catalyzing chemical reactions, although
with much lower efficiency than certain specific proteins. Certain parts of the
humic molecule is hydrophilic, while other areas are lypophilic (fat-loving), capable
of binding materials that are insoluble in water. This soap-like property of humic
molecules permits the binding of water-insoluble materials. Similarly to other
macromolecules, the humic molecules are capable of forming colloidal solutions.
In this way both water soluble and insoluble nutrients are made available to the
roots of plants. Like clay, humus is a colloidal substance, and increases the soil’s
cation exchange capacity, hence its ability to store nutrients by chelation, thus
preventing leaching.
As an anticancer agent humic acids may act extracellularly by preventing
the formation of mutagenic compounds that would affect the DNA of the cell,
through binding to and inactivating the mutagen. It has been found that the
ability of humic acid to adsorb mutagens increases with the molecular weight of
humic acid. Humic acids bond with metal ions, and form complexes with amino
acids, peptides, carbohydrates and steroids. This chemical-structural property of
humic acids may also be responsible for some of the effects occurring in tissues;
including the elimination of heavy metals, anti-mutagenic effects, antioxidant and
anticoagulant activity. The cation exchange capacity and ligand formation ability
of humic substances may partially explain why humic acids can bind and release
ions of lower atomic mass while binding heavier ions with a higher atomic mass.
It is known that lead and cadmium are among those bivalent ions that are most
likely to be bound to the humic acid molecule. It binds to metals and body toxins,
removing them from the system.
Fulvic acid helps fight cancer in many ways, by improving the electrolyte
environment, cell hydration and as a super antioxidant and heavy metal detoxifier.
Because of its speed of operation Fulvic acid must radically alter the electrolyte,
ionic properties of the body fluids allowing the immune cells to detect the cancer/
candida as a foreign invader. Organic fulvic acid electrolytes charge, recharge and
restore the ionic potential that is or once was normal to the cell, and in doing so,
balances and supercharges cellular life. As the most powerful, natural electrolyte
known, fulvic acid restores electrical balance to damaged cells, neutralizes toxins
and can eliminate food poisoning within minutes. Fulvic acids are vital in
bringing substantial amounts of nutrients and minerals into soluble solution and
transporting nutrients into the cells. Fulvic acid is a powerful natural antioxidant
that can eradicate any form of free-radical. It can act as an acceptor or as a donor in
the creation of electrochemical balance. If it encounters free radicals with unpaired
positive electrons, it supplies an equal and opposite negative charge to neutralize
the bad effects of the free radicals. Likewise, if the free radicals carry a negative
charge, the fulvic acid molecule can supply positive unpaired electrons to nullify
that charge. Fulvic acid plays the role as a bi-directional super antioxidant.
