Chlorination By-Products
Companies that make these products must use “non-chlorinated” water, for
the combination of chlorine with humic acids can create a toxin in the body.
Water treatment facilities remove the organic compounds like humic and fulvic
acid because the chlorination of drinking water can result in the formation of
disinfection by-products (DBPs) such as trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids,
compounds that are linked to increased rates of bladder, kidney and stomach
cancer. It has the same dangerous results when chlorine comes in direct contact
with many of the extremely valuable phytochemicals contained in fresh fruits,
vegetables, and herbal extracts. Because of the carcinogenic compounds created
by chlorine’s interaction with organic molecules, it is best to use filtered water that
has been standing 24 hours and exposed to sunlight. To avoid the production of
these chlorine-organic matter by products, water treatment plants first remove the
organic matter (humic acid) from the water prior to chlorination.
Unfortunately some municipal water treatments are using chloromines rather
than chlorine. “Many municipalities use chloramines, often on the back end of the
treatment plant (after filtration), and ClO2 or Cl2 etc as a pre-oxidant on the front
end.” Chloramine will not simply outgas the way chlorine does, even exposed to
sun and plentiful oxygen, Chloramine-T could still last for as long as a week. To
counter this add a pinch of Himalayan Salt and MSM (sodium and sulfur) to the
water before leaving it to stand, to turn the chlorine to harmless chloride ions.
We might consider going this extra step before we make our sun tea with plant
matter which is naturally rich in humic acids. Fulvic acid and colloidal minerals
are natural chelators; detoxifying the body, the liver, and the digestive tract, by
attaching to toxic buildup, including heavy metals, and chlorination by-products,
where they disarm, neutralize, and remove them as waste products.
nano FlUVic aciD—Nano Miracle Bion Advanced Omega (Fulvic Acid)
from mdhealthstore.com make a virtually 100% Fulvic acid product from organic
shale millions of years old. Oil shales are ancient sediment deposits of marine
and terrestrial organisms that once inhabited lakes, marine basins and coastal
swamp, that have been compacted under geological pressure. The consumption of
Humic Acid increases energy, improves mood and initiates a wholesale cleansing
of accumulated toxins and poisons, including heavy metals, parasites, and fungi.
Other effects include decreased appetite, deeper sleep, pain reduction, antioxidant,
immune stimulator, stimulates metabolism, anti-aging and rejuvenation. Miracle
Bion fulvic acid has a pH of 7.4 to 8 and they don’t use chlorinated water in the
manufacturing, because the combination of chlorine with Fulvic Acid can create
a toxin in the body. So do not drink chlorinated water with your humic acids, or
when using humate to water your plants. FulvaLife is another brand of 100% fulvic
which is made for human consumption. Shale derived colloidal minerals naturally
contain around 6% fulvic and humic acid thereby increasing the assimilation of
the minerals.
