The Living Force
I've been doing a bit of research on fulvic acid (sometimes referred to as humic acid). Here's some info:

As fulvic acid has been shown to be one of nature's most powerful antioxidants and heavy metal chelators, I've incorporated it into my daily detox and supplementation regimen. It's in my liquid multi vitamin/mineral (helps increase absorption) and I also have some plain fulvic acid. Seems like it will come in handy during the "swine flu" pandemic.

Fulvic Acid
Fulvic acid has been discovered to be one of the most important natural miracles related to life itself.
Fulvic acid is part of the humic structure in rich composting soil It is an acid created in extremely
small amounts by the action of millions of beneficial microbes, working on decaying plant matter in a
soil environment with adequate oxygen. It is of low molecular weight and is biologically very
active. Because of its low melecular weight, it has the necessity and ability to readily bond minerals
and elements into its molcular structure causing them to dissolve and become mobilized fulvic
complexes. Fulvic acid from humic deposits usually carries 60 or more minerals and trace elements
dissolved into its molecular complexes. These are then in ideal natural form to be absorbed and
interact with living cells. Plants roots and cells readily absorb high amounts of fulvic acid, and
maintain it in their structure. In fact it has been discovered that these fulvic acid complexes are
absolutely essential for plants to be healthy.

One of Nature’s Most Powerful Organic Electrolytes1
Fulvic acid is an organic natural electrolyte that can balance and energize biological properties it
comes into contact with. An electrolyte is a substance that is soluble in water or other appropriate
medium that is capable of conducting electrical current.
...
The power of an electrolyte has been shown in repeated tests on animal cells (giant amoebae), to be
able to restore life in what researchers termed “a beautiful demonstration” and “astonishing.” When
the electrolyte potential was taken away during the test, the cell ruptured and disintegrated into the
surrounding fluid causing death. Upon reintroducing electrical potential the cell reconstructed and
became active and healthy!
...
Enhances Nutrients
Fulvic acid enhances the availability of nutrients and makes them more readily absorbable. It also
allows minerals to regenerate and prolongs the residence time of essential nutrients. It prepares
nutrients to react with cells. It allows nutrients to inter-react with one another, breaking them down
into the simplest ionic forms chelated by the fulvic acid electrolyte.

Humic extracts (Fulvic acids) are natures most powerful antioxidants. Pharmacological
studies throughout the world have shown that various mechanisms within the humic
molecular structure make it both a donor and acceptor free radical scavenger and
antioxidant. Also noted are powerful superoxide dismutases (SODs) and
metalloenymes of every conceivable kind.
While all humic extracts do not always destroy cancer cells, they generally halt their
growth and spread. Sometimes tumors disappear almost immediately and
spontaneously. Humic extracts are certainly cancer preventative, and it is certain that
the higher the quality of humic extract, the better the ability to reverse and completely
cure cancers.
It has been found that naturally-occurring humic acid preparations can stimulate the
production of cytokines, including interferon-gamma, interferon-alpha, interferon-beta,
and tumor necrosis factor-alpha. What this means is that a valid mechanism has been
discovered, proven, and documented, whereby humic extracts are able to work with the
body to selectively seek out and destroy cancer cells.
