Deuterium-depleted water (DDW) health benefits?
I never thought we’d start with something as simple as water. Everybody knows
that the chemical formula for water is two hydrogens and an oxygen (H2O). The
claim is that deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen (D2O), is clogging up our
mitochondria, lowering its output. Our cells then become loaded with deuterium.
Petra really got our attention when she told us that deuterium acts as a
growth and transforming factor in all microbes, including retroviruses and the
cells in which these microbes live. Importantly, deuterium is a cancer-causing
oncoisotype in any mammalian cell with mitochondria.
Deuterium depleted water delays tumor progression in mice, dogs, cats, and
humans . . . A
model is proposed that emphasizes the terminal complex of mitochondrial electron
transport chain reducing molecular oxygen to deuterium depleted water (DDW);
this affects glucogenesis as well as fatty acid oxidation . . . DDW is
proposed her to link cancer prevention and treatment using natural ketogenic
diets, low deuterium drinking water, as well as DDW production as the
mitochondrial downstream mechanism of targeted anti-cancer drugs such as Avastin
and Glivec. The role of deuterium in biology is a potential missing link to
the elusive cancer puzzle seemingly correlated with cancer epidemiology in
western populations as a result of excessive deuterium loading from processed
carbohydrate intake in place of natural fat consumption.
For me, the results were remarkable. I was my old self. I literally have the
cognitive function I used to have before the last decade of working with the
most transmissible of human disease-associated retrovirus families, the XMRVs.
If I were to look at my mitochondria, I imagine I’d see them generating the
right amount of energy, rather than the danger signals they would when they are
under stress.
2) Liver Protection and Detox
Animal studies hint the ability of deuterium-depleted water (DDW) to protect and
stimulate the liver. In animals, scientists researched the potential of DDW to
Repair oxidative damage in the liver
3) Mood & Memory
In a study on mice, deuterium-depleted water (DDW) reduced signs of depression
and stress. Interestingly, it stimulated the brain’s memory center and increased
wakefulness. These effects were similar to SSRI (antidepressant) drugs .
In rats, drinking deuterium-depleted water enhanced long-term memory, but it
didn’t impact short-term memory and movement .
4) Diabetes and Heart Disease
In healthy rats, researchers tested the ability of DDW to , Cut the levels of cholesterol and blood lipids, , Improved insulin secretion & Protected the heart. Fat, protein and carbohydrates
are broken down all the way to just electrons and (hydrogen) protons for the
mitochondria to create energy for the body, in the form of ATP.
The cell/mitochondria can handle a certain amount of deuterium, about 110-130
ppm, by preventing the deuterium from getting to the inner parts of
mitochondria. But if the amount goes beyond that, mitochondria start to break
down as the deuterium gets to "clog" the nanotube, and the cells won't be able
to produce so much energy, leading to all kinds of trouble down the line.
Deuterium is "pro-growth" and accumulates in the water inside vegetables
(150-160ppm) and especially fruits and seeds, but animal products have less
(120-130ppm), an amount that is handleable for the human body.
If the deuterium influx is too high for too long, the amount of mitochondria
starts to fall inside cells (certain cell types can have thousands of
mitochondria, e.g. brain & heart). Thus the cell starts to lose its "power",
resulting in unability to keep deuterium out of mitochondria, which causes more
mitochondria to die off, resulting in a vicious circle.
This can lead to such a deuterium accumulation, that the cells end up with ever
smaller amount of mitochondria and have less energy to such an extent, that the
body is forced to develop cancer tumour(s) to produce more total mitochondria in
the uncontrollably multiplying cancer cells (this process is to keep the body
alive).
Curious thing is, that the water which is produced in the mitochondria
alongside ATP, is naturally low in deuterium. So once you get the system "up and
running", and produce your own low deuterium water, you start to lower the
overall level of intra cellular deuterium to manageable levels, and begin to
heal.
In my understanding, this is why animal meats are low in deuterium: they
keep their deuterium levels in check in the above manner.
Deuterium levels in the water we drink and breathe have been
rising for about 11,700 years...
Consuming carbohydrates and processed foods raises the deuterium in our
bodies.
When we don't get enough sleep, exercising or breathing poorly, we accumulate
deuterium.
Deuterium can have adverse effects on the body in four different ways:
Creating unhealthy growth, Modification of three-dimensional
structures
Slowing down chemical reactions (kinetic isotope effect)
Mitochondrial damage and rupture of ATP nanomotors
1. Deuterium and Growth
Plants, children and young animals use deuterium for healthy natural growth. But
the question you should be concerned about is how deuterium can create unhealthy
growth. In adulthood, high levels of
deuterium also promote body growth. "Outward" growth is obesity, and growth in
the wrong places in the body is cancerous growth.
2. Three-dimensional structures
When you accumulate a lot of deuterium in
your body, your cells will start using deuterium instead of ordinary hydrogen.
Remember that deuterium can easily pass wherever normal hydrogen passes, in a
chemical formula or reaction.
Here are some examples of 3D biomolecules
that will not function properly when "deuterated": Cholesterol, Hormones,
Neurotransmitters, Cellular receivers
4. Mitochondrial Health
Our bodies contain billions of mitochondria. To produce energy and allow your
cells to function properly, tiny motors inside your mitochondria must rotate
between 6,000 and 9,000 rpm.
ATP synthase nanomotors use electrons to attract protons (hydrogen ions) and
then create adenosine triphosphate (ATP, an energy storage molecule), carbon
dioxide and metabolic water.
When deuterium enters the mitochondria
instead of hydrogen, the heavy hydrogen can literally shatter your nanomotors.
Broken nanomotors mean less energy production.
Deuterium Depletion and Health
Deuterium depletion means actively reducing your deuterium levels by changing
your diet, lifestyle and the type of water you drink.
Several ways to reduce deuterium to improve health and well-being:
Fasting and dry fasting...The ketogenic diet, the seasonal ketogenic
diet, and low-carbohydrate, high-fat diets contain less deuterium.
Quality sleep in the dark reduces deuterium
Sunlight, exposure to cold, breathing and exercise help reduce deuterium.
Drinking deuterium depleted water (DDW) decreases deuterium
