Thepowerofanelectrolytehasbeenshowninrepeatedtestsonanimalcells(giantamoebae);tobeableto restore life in what researchers termed “a beautiful demonstration” and “astonishing”.When theelectrolyte potential was taken away during the test, the cell ruptured and disintegrated into thesurrounding fluid causing death. Upon reintroducing electrical potential, the cell reconstructed andbecameactiveandhealthy4!
Itwasalsodeterminedfromthesesamestudies,thatsimilarresultscouldbeexpectedoftheprogressiveweakness amonghumans that results fromuncheckedhaemorrhage, overwhelmingemotional stress,uncontrolledinfections,unbalanceddiet,prolongedlossofsleep,andsurgicalshock.Theseexamplesareallaccompaniedbyasteadydecrease inelectricalpotential thatcaneventuallybereducedtozeroatdeath.Thesestudies showconvincingly that thephysicalwell-beingofplants,animals,andhumans isdeterminedbyproperelectricalpotential5.

FulvicAcid,OriginandOverview
IntheBeginning
InthebeginningtheEarthwasblessedwithoptimumorganicgrowingconditions.Thesoilhadawealthofminerals,traceelements,andrichhumussoilteamingwithmicrobes.TheEarth’smineralshadnotyetleachedanderodedintotheseas,andbecauseofthat,thesoilwasexceptionallyfertile.Thevegetationwasverylushandabundant,asisevidencedbyancientremainsthatweknowwereformedintocoalandoildeposits.

It seems obvious thatmost of the agricultural and food crops of todaywould also contain adequateamountsoratleastsomefulvicacidanditsrelatedmineralcomplexes,butfewdo.Ashumanbeingsitwouldbereasonabletoassumethatweshouldbeconsumingfulvicacidcomplexesintheplantsweeat,andconsequentlyhavefulvicacidinoursystems.Itisobviousthatthisisthewaynatureintendedit.Butthisisnotthecase,norhasitbeenforalongtime.
Oursoilsaresick frompooragriculturalpractices,pesticides,chemical fertilizers,erosion,andmineraldepletion56,aswellassterileconditionsbroughtonby thesepractices thatprohibitmicrobialactivity.Becauseofthisourplantsaresick,containingvery littlenutrition,especiallyminerals.Forgenerationsadequate fulvicacid thatshouldhavebeencontained in theplantsweeathasbeenmissing fromourdiets, yet it is essential for our cell metabolism. Scientists have found that nutritionally we need 90differentnutrients inourdiets.Over60of thesearemineralsand traceelements.Weare simplynotgettingthemtodayfromtheplantsweeat.
Re-mineralization of soils would be of little benefit without fulvic acid and return to better farmingpractices.Re-mineralizationofourbodieswithoutthefulvicacidthatshouldbecontainedintheplantsweeat,hasprovenjustasuseless.Peoplearesickwithdegenerativeanddeficiencyrelateddiseasesnowmorethanever.Withfulvicacidsupplementationandreturntoproperdietandfarmingpracticesthesesituationshavethepotentialtobereversed.

TheWisdomofMan,andthe“Theory”ofChemicalFertilizers
TheStoryofJustisvonLiebig
ThemanthatisgivencreditforbeingresponsiblefortheoriginofchemicalfertilizersisJustisvonLiebig.Youmight call him the “Father of N-P-K” (nitrogen, phosphorus, potash), because of his agriculturalstudiesanddiscoverieswithregardstotheuseofthesethreeelements.HelecturedbeforetheBritishAssociationfortheAdvancementofScience.Hisreasoningwasthatonecouldanalyzetheproduceofanacreandreturnthenutrientsremoved,alongwithaddingalittleextra.Hearguedthatmanandanimalsreceivednourishmentandsupportfromplants,whereasplantsderivetheirmeansfromonlyinorganicsubstances. These lectures took place in about 1841. Eventually hewas convincing enough that theyacceptedhis“buildupprogram”.Agriculturalsciencewentonfromthatdaytobuildtheirentirebasesonhispremise,andhascontinuedtothisdayinthesepracticeswithouteverlookingback.
In1843,JustisvonLiebigrecordedthefollowingobservationsconcerninghispreviouswork,butitwastoolate,fewlistened:
“Ihadsinnedagainstthewisdomofourcreator,andreceivedjustpunishmentforit.Iwantedtoimprovehishandiwork,andinmyblindness,Ibelievedthatinthiswonderfulchainoflaws,whichtieslifetothesurfaceoftheearthandalwayskeepsitrejuvenated,theremightbeamissinglinkthathadtobereplacedbymethisweekpowerlessnothing.”
“Thelaw,towhichmyresearchonthetopsoilledme,states,“Ontheoutercrustoftheearth,undertheinfluenceofthesun,organiclifeshalldevelop”.Andso,thegreatmasterandbuildergavethefragmentsoftheearththeabilitytoattractandholdalltheseelementsnecessarytofeedplantsandfurtherserveanimals, likeamagnetattractsandholds ironparticles,soasnopiecebe lost.Ourmasterenclosedasecond law unto this one, through which the plant bearing earth becomes an enormous cleansingapparatusforthewater.Throughthisparticularability,theearthremovedfromthewaterallsubstancesharmfultohumansandanimals–allproductsofdecayandputrefaction,ofperishedplantandanimalgenerations.”
“Whatmightjustifymyactionsisthecircumstance,thatamanistheproductofhistime,andheisonlyabletoescapethecommonlyacceptedviewsifaviolentpressureurgeshimtomusterallofhisstrengthtostrugglefreeofthesechainsoferror.Theopinion,thatplantsdrawtheirfoodfromasolutionthatisformedinthesoilthroughrainwater,waseveryone’sbelief.Itwasengravedintomymind.Thisopinionwaswrongandthesourceofmyfoolishbehavior.”
“When a chemist makes mistakes in rating agricultural fertilizers, don’t be too critical of his errors,becausehehashadtobasehisconclusionsuponfactswhichhecan’tknowfromhisownexperience,butrather, hehas to take fromagricultural texts as true and reliable.After I learned the reasonwhymyfertilizerwasn’teffectiveintheproperway,Iwaslikeapersonthatreceivedanewlife.Foralongwiththat,allprocessesoftillagewerenowexplainedastotheirnaturallaws.Nowthatthisprincipleisknownandcleartoalleyes,theonlythingthatremainsistheastonishmentofwhyithadn’tbeendiscovereda
