Your Immune Support Against Viruses

A National Institutes of Health Study (NIH) suggests that a number of viruses may be inhibited by Organic Defense™ Humic Acid including:⁽²⁾

Flu (influenza) Herpes Shingles Mononucleosis Epstein-Barr

Norovirus – Viral gastroenteritis (cruise ship virus) Hemorrhagic Fevers(ebola and hanta)

There are numerous scientific studies that also suggest that humic acid may support our immune systems against other viruses all without causing any damage to the cell or any signs of toxicity. ^{(3-7,9,10,12)}

• Common cold (rhinovirus)
• Cold with gastro intestinal symptoms(coronavirus,e.g. SARS)
• HIV-1
• Hepatitis
• West Nile Virus
