A concise, history-rich walkthrough of deuterium depleted water: why it matters for mitochondrial function, how it emerged from early physics and biochemistry, and what today’s research and protocols suggest. Dr. Mike reads and discusses Victor Seigelovksi’s pamphlet, “A Brief History of Deuterium Depleted Water,” and explains practical takeaways for health and longevity.

00;00;32;26 - 00;00;45;20
Dr. Mike Belkowski
Welcome back everybody. Thanks for joining me on another episode of The Energy Code. Today we're going to take a journey slightly back in time. And by that I mean a couple months ago.

00;00;45;20 - 00;01;02;05
Dr. Mike Belkowski
To the conversation surrounding deuterium depleted water. Specifically light water, as that is the deuterium depleted water with the lowest amount of deuterium,

00;01;02;05 - 00;01;04;06
Dr. Mike Belkowski
ppm parts per million.

00;01;04;06 - 00;01;31;24
Dr. Mike Belkowski
It's ten parts per million. And if you recall my conversation with Victor Seigel, who is the CEO of Light Water, and we alluded to a book I had read this past summer that was all about the anti-cancer properties of deuterium depletion. And what's the quickest way to systemically reduce deuterium in your body? It's by drinking deuterium depleted water.

00;01;31;26 - 00;01;46;19
Dr. Mike Belkowski
And in that book, discussing deuterium depletion as an anti-cancer strategy, they were using deuterium depleted water. That was at, I believe, 110 parts per million. And they were seen,

00;01;46;19 - 00;02;03;04
Dr. Mike Belkowski
significant anti-cancer properties. And for even more aggressive approaches, they were using, I believe, 80 5 p.m., deuterium depleted water. And that was seen as aggressive. And so anyway, light water has 10 p.m..

00;02;03;06 - 00;02;24;02
Dr. Mike Belkowski
So again, with with Victor, he alluded to the fact that that was probably excessive meaning like very few people would legitimately need a 10 p.m. deuterium depleted water, but they can do it. So so why not. Right? And so anyway, for people interested in drinking deuterium depleted water,

00;02;24;02 - 00;02;31;13
Dr. Mike Belkowski
and specifically light water with it's 10 p.m. deuterium levels, you can cut that with whatever,

00;02;31;13 - 00;02;42;05
Dr. Mike Belkowski
other water you use for your day to day drinking, because most water, regardless of the source, is going to have around 150, 155 parts per million.

00;02;42;08 - 00;02;52;11
Dr. Mike Belkowski
And so if you do 50, 50 of light water in your normal drinking water, then essentially you'll cut that normal drinking water in half. So let's say you do,

00;02;52;11 - 00;02;59;11
Dr. Mike Belkowski
you're using tap water or just natural spring water that's going to be around again about 140 to 150,

00;02;59;11 - 00;03;20;16
Dr. Mike Belkowski
parts per million. So if you do half of that and then half of the ten parts per million, then you'll be at about 75 or 80 parts per million, deuterium, which will put you at or slightly below that aggressive anti-cancer approach with deuterium depletion from that book I read earlier this summer.

00;03;20;18 - 00;03;36;25
Dr. Mike Belkowski
For for those wondering, with a book is and if you want to grab it and read it, it's called deuterium depletion a New Way in Curing Cancer and Preserving Health. And it's by Gabor Sommelier. Last name is spelled sommelier y a I

00;03;36;25 - 00;03;49;07
Dr. Mike Belkowski
excuse me, and he's a PhD, but that whole preface was really to set the stage for today's episode where I'm going to read from a pamphlet that's written by Victor Seigel, and it comes with,

00;03;49;07 - 00;03;50;26
Dr. Mike Belkowski
the purchase of some light water.

00;03;50;26 - 00;04;08;26
Dr. Mike Belkowski
So if you buy either I think it's a four or an eight pack of those liters, this pamphlet is included in the box. And so it's just so well-written, so well articulated. And it's a great history on deuterium depleted water. And it provides some of the most recent research and kind of,

00;04;08;26 - 00;04;13;08
Dr. Mike Belkowski
where potential potential future developments may be heading.

00;04;13;10 - 00;04;24;12
Dr. Mike Belkowski
And so I think it would just be great to relay that information to you. For those in the audience who are curious about deuterium depleted water, and if it makes sense for you and your health and wellness,

00;04;24;12 - 00;04;37;01
Dr. Mike Belkowski
or anti-aging longevity protocol or regimen. And I'll just say first hand, I think this truly is one of the foundational components for someone's wellness and longevity regimen.

00;04;37;01 - 00;04;41;25
Dr. Mike Belkowski
That's just my personal opinion. It's something I've been doing now since July of this year.

00;04;41;25 - 00;04;48;13
Dr. Mike Belkowski
I had been doing it years ago. Kind of fell off the wagon. Now I'm back on it years later and I can,

00;04;48;13 - 00;05;10;09
Dr. Mike Belkowski
unequivocally say that it should be in someone's health and wellness protocol, especially if you're wanting to combat diseases in cancer, because as we'll learn, there's a there's a kind of a line in the sand of where you want your PPM for your deuterium level in your body.

00;05;10;10 - 00;05;46;00
Dr. Mike Belkowski
If you get below that level, you're basically going to be disease and cancer free. If you're above that level and you go higher and higher, then just like redox potential, where the closer you get to zero versus a negative number, that puts you closer and closer to a state of disease, or if it's bad enough, cancer. And so before I begin reading this, this pamphlet here, just remember all of this information and all of the science and all of the ways that deuterium depletion enhances mitochondrial function and efficiency.

00;05;46;03 - 00;06;19;21
Dr. Mike Belkowski
That's why I updated all of the liquid bio blue formulas with 100% light water. Instead of using the standard water we were using before, which was still structured in high quality. But the water that's produced by light water is truly some of the, if not the best water in the world. At ten ppm deuterium. So anyway, let's begin today's history lesson of deuterium depleted water with Victor Seigel off his pamphlet entitled A Brief History of Deuterium Depleted Water.

00;06;19;23 - 00;06;51;10
Dr. Mike Belkowski
It was 13.8 billion years ago in the first 60s, following the Big Bang, in the primordial plasma soup that was to become our universe, the first element was created. That element was hydrogen, made simply of one proton and one electron. The temperature was 1 billion degrees. Electrons and positrons annihilated to make photons, while protons and neutrons combined to make do Terrans, which was a proton and neutron pair.

00;06;51;13 - 00;07;23;12
Dr. Mike Belkowski
Almost all of the deuteron then combined to make helium primordial matter was thus separated into two unequal parts one quarter helium three quarters hydrogen. The process, however, was not completely thorough, and as the universe cooled, a small percentage of deuterium nuclei remained as they were unpaired and isolated, trapped between hydrogen and helium, most became the source of star energy, along with hydrogen.

00;07;23;14 - 00;08;01;15
Dr. Mike Belkowski
The deuterium atoms that survived the stellar furnaces eventually combined 2 to 1 with oxygen atoms to create water, now found in seawater and freshwater on Earth. There are, in fact about six drops, or 300mg of deuterium in each liter of water on our planet. Fast forward 13.79999 billion years to 1932, when Harold C Urey and his colleagues Trinidad Brickwood and George R Murphy at Columbia University proved the existence of deuterium.

00;08;01;17 - 00;08;31;27
Dr. Mike Belkowski
Before their discovery, it was believed hydrogen contained one proton and one electron. This rare, heavier isotope of hydrogen with an added neutron doubles the weight. It has a mass of two deuterium had gone undetected by physicists, perhaps because it only made up 0.0149% of all hydrogen in the universe, or one heavy water molecule. For every 3300 of regular water molecules in seawater.

00;08;32;00 - 00;08;41;23
Dr. Mike Belkowski
Some physicists suspected the existence of a second isotope of hydrogen as early as 1913, and Urey was keen to prove

00;08;41;23 - 00;09;03;19
Dr. Mike Belkowski
true once and for all with certainty. He knew a must exist, because something between the atomic weight and the mass spectrographic value of hydrogen simply did not add up, and with brick Wade's help of cryogenic laboratory at the National Bureau of Standards, they unlocked the mystery and proved its existence.

00;09;03;21 - 00;09;30;29
Dr. Mike Belkowski
The excitement of what they had discovered created a brisk back and forth on what to name it. Barragan, halogen, Diplo, June, Deuterium, and Dijon were suggested. Eventually they settled on deuterium from the ancient Greek deuterium, meaning second to single proton hydrogen that makes up 99.98% of all hydrogen. They gave that name, proteome

00;09;30;29 - 00;09;35;07
Dr. Mike Belkowski
in the next section is called usher in the Atomic Age.

00;09;35;07 - 00;11;45;21
Dr. Mike Belkowski
[Reading continues with the pamphlet’s history of deuterium, heavy water, early biological findings, and the pause in research during WWII.]

00;11;46;09 - 00;12;10;19
Dr. Mike Belkowski
In 1934, Doctor Yuri won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for this monumental discovery that would usher in the atomic age. Concentrated deuterium, i.e. heavy water, was the missing piece needed for nuclear reactors and the making of atomic bombs. It can be stated that because of Yuri Brickwood and Murphy, the world would never be the same.

00;12;10;19 - 00;12;23;04
Dr. Mike Belkowski
A third radioactive isotope, tritium, which is two neutrons, is found in one out of every 41 million hydrogen isotopes, almost non-existent.

00;12;23;06 - 00;12;46;29
Dr. Mike Belkowski
While the 30s brought a paradigm shift in physics, much was the same with molecular biology. In 1929, ATP, the fuel of all life, was discovered. This came 39 years after the discovery of mitochondria, where ATP is created in 1937. The Krebs Cycle, aka the spent

00;12;46;29 - 00;13;03;11
Dr. Mike Belkowski
Georgy or citric acid cycle was discovered describing the mechanism by which ATP is produced, but it would have to wait another 60 years until deuterium effect on ATP production would be understood.

00;13;03;13 - 00;13;40;25
Dr. Mike Belkowski
The next section here is entitled Biological Effects of Deuterium depleted Water. Uri's mentor, Gilbert and Lewis, Professor of Chemistry at Berkeley, was the first to create pure heavy water via electrolysis in 1933, shortly after Urey proved its existence, and subsequently he was the first to observe that this heavy water, when frozen, would sink instead of float like normal water ice, he also observed, is strongly delayed the reproduction of microbes and retarded the growth of seeds.

00;13;40;28 - 00;14;10;06
Dr. Mike Belkowski
A new era of research focusing on this newly discovered hydrogen isotope, deuterium, was ushered in soon after Professor Lewis's heavy water observations. Oskar W Richards, a researcher at the Osborne Zoological Lab at Yale University, showed that the splitting process of sugar with yeast is nine times slower in heavy water. What looked and felt like normal water was something altogether different.

00;14;10;08 - 00;14;48;23
Dr. Mike Belkowski
From 1934 to 1939, HG Barbara and his colleagues from the pharmacology department at Yale initiated the first systematic study on the effects of heavy water on mice. Between 1933 and 1939, there were 216 published English language studies on the biological effects of deuterium, all arriving at the same observation. Heavy water was an impairment on life. The experiments replacing normal water with just 30% heavy water caused bacteria, plants, and animals to die in a matter of days.

00;14;48;25 - 00;15;06;15
Dr. Mike Belkowski
More research needed to be done, but as World War Two approached, heavy water became increasingly difficult to obtain for further study. Because of the great demand in the military sector, biological research on deuterium was stifled and gradually faded away. Until the 1950s,

00;15;06;15 - 00;15;35;27
Dr. Mike Belkowski
it was about the same time Francis Crick and James Watson announced the double helix structure of DNA in 1953, that a gerontology and genetics graduate student named Kennedy British of at the University of Tomsk in Siberia, was urged on by a colleague, Boris Rudman of a biophysicist, to investigate a very peculiar anomaly concerning lifespans of the Soviet population.

00;15;35;29 - 00;15;58;10
Dr. Mike Belkowski
While the average percentage of centenarians in all of the Soviet Union was less than ten per 1 million, in certain areas of Siberia, there was a striking number of centenarians 324 per 1 million people, and furthermore, most of the population of Altai and Yakutia enjoyed a great health and vitality well into their old age.

00;15;58;10 - 00;16;11;02
Dr. Mike Belkowski
Knowing that these regions were uniquely provided with pristine glacial meltwater from high altitudes, he was motivated to investigate this factor as a possible common denominator on,

00;16;11;02 - 00;16;25;06
Dr. Mike Belkowski
of the longevity of their inhabitants. Scientists focused on the possibility that some unique and unrecognized water characteristic might be involved, a mystery hidden perhaps in ancient glacial ice.

00;16;25;06 - 00;16;29;02
Dr. Mike Belkowski
The next section here is entitled Slowing Down Aging.

00;16;29;02 - 00;16;58;29
Dr. Mike Belkowski
The first experiments consisted of mining permafrost at a depth of 20m in melting water that had lain as ice for 300 million years. In the lab, it was observed that water stimulated cell division and slowed down aging. When the institute could no longer pay for the extraction of ancient ice, they evaluated Siberian snow from their own vicinity, and to their surprise, it had a similar effect.

00;16;59;01 - 00;17;03;07
Dr. Mike Belkowski
The theory of deuterium depleted water was beginning to take shape.

00;17;03;07 - 00;17;31;08
Dr. Mike Belkowski
The experiments done by Vem mujib at the Tomsk University in 1959 to 1960 convinced his colleagues that even a small dose of deuterium distorted the chemistry of hydrogen bonding and inhibited some molecular processes. By 1960, British have had enough information to conclusively link the longevity of the Yakutsk, and the I'll take I'll tie ins excuse me.

00;17;31;10 - 00;18;05;04
Dr. Mike Belkowski
With a consumption of glacial meltwater, the researchers from Tomsk discovered that ancient ice, high latitude mountain snow and glacial runoff were 15 to 20% depleted in deuterium, compared to what became known as Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water, which is 155.76 ppm at the equator. As a matter of historical record, the findings were first published in an agricultural journal in Omsk in 1961.

00;18;05;04 - 00;18;16;06
Dr. Mike Belkowski
No sooner had British of Rudman and much have discovered this rejuvenating water that a level six nuclear disaster occurred at the,

00;18;16;06 - 00;18;22;07
Dr. Mike Belkowski
custom excuse of my pronunciation nuclear power plant in the Southern Ural

00;18;22;07 - 00;18;35;17
Dr. Mike Belkowski
Mountains, the third largest nuclear disaster in history. British and his colleagues provided their newly discovered miracle meltwater to a number of the victims, and they were saved.

00;18;35;19 - 00;19;06;13
Dr. Mike Belkowski
It wasn't until after the Soviet Union fell that Russians declassified the disaster, as well as how deuterium depleted water was used in medical treatment. In 1966, wrote him off in his bio physics department chair. Ivy Tau observe were allowed to publish their work in English for the benefit of researchers and scientists everywhere with their groundbreaking findings in the book Biological Role of Heavy Water in Living Organisms.

00;19;06;15 - 00;19;34;16
Dr. Mike Belkowski
They put Siberia on the map. They became the very first scientists to show how water depleted in deuterium had a positive biological effect. In the mouse experiments, they observed that the increase of heavy water to 3% caused offspring to have a 20% lower birth weight, three times smaller adult size than the control group, and the inability to reproduce a third generation.

00;19;34;18 - 00;19;37;12
Dr. Mike Belkowski
The next section here is entitled experiments.

00;19;37;12 - 00;20;03;29
Dr. Mike Belkowski
In another experiment, mice consuming glacial meltwater had greater sexual activity and grew faster and bigger than the control group. These experiments were replaced in many Soviet institutions with different animals and plants. Considering that deuterium had only been discovered 30 years before, this was a monumental breakthrough. A secret of longevity had just been revealed.

00;20;04;02 - 00;20;39;25
Dr. Mike Belkowski
Coincidentally, around the same time, one of the greatest revelations in biology was taking shape by Paul de Boyer, a molecular biologist with UCLA. He discovered that tiny protein nano motors within the mitochondria sitting at the end of the electron transport chain, bore the final burden for creating ATP. This protein assembly, spinning at 9000 rpm, has the structure and function of a mechanical motor complete with rotor, stator, and magnetic field.

00;20;39;27 - 00;20;51;18
Dr. Mike Belkowski
Boyer christened it ATP synthase. It would be another 40 years in the turn of the millennium, before deuterium effect on ATP synthase would be uncovered.

00;20;51;18 - 00;21;16;08
Dr. Mike Belkowski
By the early 1960s, it was clear that deuterium, although a hydrogen isotope, was something altogether different. Both biochemically and bio physically, being twice the size of proteome due to the addition of a neutron, which was absent from normal hydrogen, no other element has such an extreme difference in mass among its isotopes.

00;21;16;10 - 00;21;48;14
Dr. Mike Belkowski
Nevertheless, the understanding of how deuterium functions at the cellular level was yet to be discovered. While the Russians were doing their research and making quiet breakthroughs, Americans were also hot to blaze a deuterium trail. It was 1963 when John F Thompson of the Medical Research Division of Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois wrote the definitive 152 page treatise entitled Biological Effects of Deuterium.

00;21;48;17 - 00;22;20;26
Dr. Mike Belkowski
The work of his colleagues Joseph J. Katz and Henry L Crespi reinforced the biological implications of deuterium, noting early on in deuterium Organisms Cultivation and Uses, which was a book published in 1966 that deuterium affects the shape of proteins and the replication of DNA, laboratory mice experiments were conducted in which their normal body of water was altered in the percentage of heavy water yielded the following results.

00;22;20;29 - 00;23;05;02
Dr. Mike Belkowski
Experiment number one laboratory mice. Body water was increased in concentration of heavy water to 30%. It proved to be fatal to the mice in a matter of days. Experiment two laboratory mice body water was depleted in deuterium by 30% down to 100 and 5 p.m., resulting in significantly increased lifespans. Ten years later, in 1974, again at Argonne National Labs, British scientist T.R. Griffiths at the Second International Conference on Stable Isotopes, proposed the theory that deuterium might be the primary cause of aging.

00;23;05;04 - 00;23;22;23
Dr. Mike Belkowski
In the book Possible Roles of Deuterium in the Initiation and Propagation of Aging and Other by Biochemical Mechanisms and Processes. He states. Quote, deuterium adversely affects the shape of enzyme molecules which are involved in DNA replication and quote.

00;23;22;23 - 00;23;26;06
Dr. Mike Belkowski
The next section here is entitled DNA repair.

00;23;26;06 - 00;24;00;16
Dr. Mike Belkowski
He observed that deuterium being more electronegative than hydrogen twice as heavy, and having different atomic binding properties than normal hydrogen, known as proteome, interfered with DNA replication. When DNA repair enzymes contained deuterium in a position reserved for proteome, they have a potential for participating in an error reaction, thereby compromising DNA replication and repair. The following year, in 1975, J.D. Gleason and I.

00;24;00;20 - 00;24;48;25
Dr. Mike Belkowski
Friedmann, replicating the Russian findings on plant growth, publishing the first American study on using deuterium depleted water to increase the growth of grains. This small but significant publication in nature magazine paved the way for a new generation of scientists to try and understand deeper the function of deuterium in the biology of living things. When the Hunza people of northern Pakistan were investigated for their increased longevity and lack of illness, it was determined that the deuterium content of their water from the glaciers of Mount Oltre was about 130 3 p.m., a deviation of about 16% from the 1:55 p.m. Global Standard.

00;24;48;28 - 00;25;10;06
Dr. Mike Belkowski
A 16% reduction may not seem significant. However. Griffith's theory further predicted the adverse biological effect of deuterium is proportional to the square of the concentration, and that is the reason we now know that even a slight depletion of deuterium has a great biological effect.

00;25;10;06 - 00;25;32;19
Dr. Mike Belkowski
By the 1990s, pivotal research was being furthered in Romania and Hungary. W Bild and colleagues at the Romanian University of Medicine and Pharmacology showed that mice exposed to a sub lethal dose of 8.5 degrees of radiation had a greater survival rate on deuterium depleted water.

00;25;32;22 - 00;26;11;03
Dr. Mike Belkowski
Mice consuming water that was reduced to £0.30 m of deuterium had a 61% survival rate, whereas the control group consuming plain tap water at around 1:50 p.m. had a survival rate of only 25%. The test group also maintained normal white blood cell and red blood cell platelet counts as compared to the control group, which did not. The same two groups of unfortunate rodents were also infected with pneumonia, and the test group showed an intensification of immune defenses not seen in the control group.

00;26;11;03 - 00;26;40;25
Dr. Mike Belkowski
The scientists concluded that mice with lower levels of deuterium in their systems would benefit from less error prone cell division and more effective repair of radiation damaged DNA. It was proved yet again that deuterium depleted water had some unknown and seemingly miraculous biological effect. These animal tests were carried out for the sole purpose of evaluating the effects of deuterium depletion for patients undergoing chemotherapy.

00;26;40;27 - 00;27;25;27
Dr. Mike Belkowski
This, along with the work of Hungarian Nobel Prize winner Albert Sven Giorgi, inspired the work of Gabor Sommelier, a doctor and molecular biologist who in the early 1990s undertook the most extensive clinical trials of deuterium depletion yet completed his data published in 1998, in the paper The Biological Effects of Deuterium Depletion, and his 2001 book, Defeating Cancer Somalia's Double Blind Clinical trials showed first that deuterium depleted water was free of any side effects, and second, the survivability of his test group was significantly better than those cancer patients in the control group.

00;27;25;27 - 00;28;00;09
Dr. Mike Belkowski
He showed that consuming deuterium depleted water was an excellent complementary adjuvant to conventional radiation, and chemotherapy between October 1992. In the spring of 1999, Doctor Somalia and his team administered some 350 tons of deuterium depleted water to approximately 1200 patients, generating over 12,000 pages of documented records. Currently in 2019, Somalia has 2222 case studies on deuterium depleted water.

00;28;00;12 - 00;28;06;29
Dr. Mike Belkowski
His groundbreaking work put Hungary on the map as an important center for research on deuterium depletion.

00;28;07;01 - 00;28;08;16
Dr. Mike Belkowski
The next

00;28;08;16 - 00;28;11;04
Dr. Mike Belkowski
section is called melt water cure.

00;28;11;04 - 00;28;20;20
Dr. Mike Belkowski
After the fall of the Soviet Union, British have by now a distinguished gerontologist and chair of the genetics department of Taras Sancho,

00;28;20;20 - 00;28;44;18
Dr. Mike Belkowski
stretching Goethe National University in Kiev, started a new department of Juventus algae. His work no longer a sensitive national security matter, he and his colleagues built three industrial machines to recreate glacial meltwater equal to reduce the trim levels by 30 to 40%, meaning the water had around 90 to 100 and 5 p.m..

00;28;44;20 - 00;29;05;00
Dr. Mike Belkowski
These engineering masterpieces separated deuterium out of water using freeze m fast cycles, taking advantage of the fact that heavy water freezes at a slightly higher temperature. It was also publicized that people without access to determined depleted water could do something similar at home,

00;29;05;00 - 00;29;15;01
Dr. Mike Belkowski
calling it the melt water cure. The instructions called for performing repeated freeze and fast cycles using a household freezer.

00;29;15;03 - 00;29;54;01
Dr. Mike Belkowski
By removing the water, the freezes first. Repeatedly. A 5% reduction was claimed to be achieved. This protocol became very popular in Russia and many other countries from the 1990s until today. However, it was only marginally effective as deuterium levels using this method could not be reduced significantly enough to make a major difference. By the beginning of the 21st century, it was well understood among researchers that consumption of DTM depleted water protected DNA from damage, but it was not yet known how.

00;29;54;03 - 00;30;15;19
Dr. Mike Belkowski
Thanks to man's insatiable desire to uncover the mysteries of life, it was only a matter of time until this puzzle would be solved. In 2006, Russian chemist Igor Pumpkin and his colleague Zoe Kosovo published a study relationship between natural concentration of heavy water ISO

00;30;15;19 - 00;30;35;19
Dr. Mike Belkowski
isotope Prologs and rate of H2o2 to generation by mitochondria. They were able to show that whatever mechanism allowed heavy water to damage the cell, and vice versa, allow light water to keep it healthy and happening somewhere within the mitochondria.

00;30;35;22 - 00;30;58;13
Dr. Mike Belkowski
The study showed that heavy water inhibited mitochondria the ability to produce hydrogen peroxide, or H2o2, which acts as a messenger molecule sending signals to regulate oxidative stress, permit kin's work would lead him to the same conclusion about the terms effect on ATP, as was published the following year.

00;30;58;13 - 00;31;07;07
Dr. Mike Belkowski
The year 2007 marks the occasion of the most monumental discovery in the short history of deuterium science.

00;31;07;10 - 00;31;42;13
Dr. Mike Belkowski
Abdullah Al Goon, a medical doctor, biochemist, pharmacologist from the Department of Biochemistry and Clinical Biochemistry at Gulen School of Medicine in Ankara, Turkey, published the paper Biological Effects of Determination ATP synthase as an example devoted to the study of the mechanisms that cause aging. It took him an exhausting two years of research, as well as having it to obtain another degree in medical mathematics to show for the first time how deuterium caused its damage.

00;31;42;13 - 00;32;12;02
Dr. Mike Belkowski
It occurs in the last step of the electron transport chain within the ATP synthase nano motor. Olajuwon determined that roughly every 15 seconds, a bear deuteron, a proton neutron pair for which there is no open receptor, impinges on the fast spinning nano motor, causing it to jam, stutter, and ultimately break down all. Goon further explains in the paper.

00;32;12;06 - 00;32;46;15
Dr. Mike Belkowski
Deuterium and Aging, published the same year in the Annals of New York Academy of Science, that this is one of the key and primary causes of aging. The mystery of how deuterium damaged life was finally revealed. The Nobel Prize worthy significance of all those findings may be hailed as one of the greatest discoveries of the 21st century. In one of the greatest oversights in biology at the time, only a handful were keen to take notice and register the gravity of this breakthrough.

00;32;46;17 - 00;32;50;29
Dr. Mike Belkowski
One person that got the picture right was Anton Turnell.

00;32;50;29 - 00;33;11;17
Dr. Mike Belkowski
Colonel Pico, a Russian businessman, scientist and deuterium depletion enthusiast who coauthored with Permit Khan and Oxford scientists. The 2015 study Deuterium Content of Water increases Depression Susceptibility. The Potential Role of serotonin related mechanism.

00;33;11;17 - 00;33;19;19
Dr. Mike Belkowski
Having embraced the importance of deuterium depletion from an early age, a lifelong quest was about to manifest.

00;33;19;22 - 00;33;38;15
Dr. Mike Belkowski
Trueno Pico was having definitive proof of deuterium role as a biological Trojan horse, took over the task to advance light water production beyond laboratory and research purposes, and construct a factory to produce light water on a commercial scale.

00;33;38;15 - 00;34;11;24
Dr. Mike Belkowski
Whereas British in the 90s had created an industrial process for reducing deuterium by 30 to 40%, using a refrigerated process, it was the turn of the millennium that the first vacuum rectification column, exclusively for the production of light water, was developed by Doctor Igor Sullivan Manco at the Institute of Fine Chemical Technologies in Moscow, applying principles from the decades of heavy water separation to the removal of light water.

00;34;11;26 - 00;34;44;13
Dr. Mike Belkowski
This was a much more efficient process that could remove 97% or better of heavy water. In 2008, Chernow Pico, having purchased intellectual property from Sullivan and Co and having taken a number of years to improve upon it with his technologist Alexander Emily and of, began in 2012 the construction of a plant in the Russian countryside, commercializing the technology developed at the Institute in Moscow.

00;34;44;16 - 00;35;12;13
Dr. Mike Belkowski
A decade of prototyping, industrial engineering, hard work, and luck yielded the first dedicated facility in the world to produce 90% plus deuterium depleted water continuously in 2019. The mechanisms of deuterium and how to remove it are well understood, yet there is still so much more to be learned, and the awareness of this colossal discovery is still in its infancy.

00;35;12;16 - 00;35;41;00
Dr. Mike Belkowski
For international conferences on deuterium depletion in Budapest have provided a place for scientists to present their work. Laszlo Boros, MD, and professor at the University of California, is an American scientist advancing the work in this field and perhaps the most knowledgeable biochemist in the world on the subject. He co-founded the Center of Deuterium Depletion in Los Angeles, where deuterium testing and treatment protocols were first offered to the public,

00;35;41;00 - 00;36;01;13
Dr. Mike Belkowski
the author being Victor Seigel, off ski with an insatiable appetite for knowledge, has traveled far and wide to personally meet and interview most of the doctors and scientists mentioned in this article, considering it a rare honor to be intricately involved in the dissemination of this knowledge.

00;36;01;16 - 00;36;40;21
Dr. Mike Belkowski
It is believed by the author and other scientists in this field that the ideal deuterium level for the body is below 100 and 20 p.m.. Achieving this requires drinking 1.5l of 80 to 100 ppm. Deuterium depleted water daily for 45 to 60 days, while minimizing the intake of all other beverages and maintaining a modified ketogenic diet with intermittent fasting and targeted photonic stimulation, and then maintaining that level with the consumption of water in the 100 to 100 and 20 p.m. range.

00;36;40;24 - 00;36;59;05
Dr. Mike Belkowski
The author, again Victor, has personally been able to reduce his deuterium levels well below 100 ppm, and the energetic benefits are qualitatively profound. At the moment, there are four primary producers of deuterium depleted water vividly in Russia

00;36;59;05 - 00;37;19;10
Dr. Mike Belkowski
Korea, in Romania, preventer in Hungary, as well as two plants in China. Vivid production is offered in the United States as light water, the exclusive and only deuterium depleted water available in the world, where 94 to 97% of the deuterium is removed for the sake of disclosure.

00;37;19;10 - 00;37;50;20
Dr. Mike Belkowski
The author is a co-founder of Light Water along with reverse osmosis technology pioneer and water scientist Robert Slovak. As one would expect, when something is too good to be true, there is a catch and that is the shortage of supply. The extraction of these six drops of heavy water per liter is a complex and multi-level technical process, requiring large scale industrial installations of specialized distillation rectification equipment.

00;37;50;22 - 00;38;18;20
Dr. Mike Belkowski
Unfortunately, it is not a machine you can have at home in the future. As awareness and demand increases, new production plants will come online and ever more efficient deuterium depleted water technologies will be developed. Many countries are actively pursuing their own interests for heavy water separation. In the 90 years from the time hydrogen's second isotope was discovered, until now, the world has changed.

00;38;18;20 - 00;38;22;03
Dr. Mike Belkowski
Unlike at any other time in human history.

00;38;22;03 - 00;38;26;12
Dr. Mike Belkowski
In the last and very brief section is entitled A New Age.

00;38;26;12 - 00;38;38;20
Dr. Mike Belkowski
We stand at the dawn of an age of technology and the gateway to a quantum leap in biology. Thanks to the pioneers here in radical life, extension has a powerful new ally.

00;38;38;22 - 00;38;41;06
Dr. Mike Belkowski
So that is the brief history lesson.

00;38;41;06 - 00;38;49;07
Dr. Mike Belkowski
Thanks to Victor Siegel, off ski, the CEO and co-founder of Light Water, along with,

00;38;49;07 - 00;39;03;03
Dr. Mike Belkowski
Robert Slovak, as was mentioned. But I hope you guys enjoyed that information. Perhaps it gave you a little more depth, maybe a little too sciency at the beginning, but a little more depth and an understanding of really what deuterium depletion means.

00;39;03;09 - 00;39;06;22
Dr. Mike Belkowski
Its potential impacts. Very profound.

00;39;06;22 - 00;39;08;19
Dr. Mike Belkowski
The fact that it's very anticancer, it's,

00;39;08;19 - 00;39;31;03
Dr. Mike Belkowski
very safe. And again, the definitive line in the sand of 100 and 20 p.m. systemically, if you can get there below, you're going to be at a very, very good place from a mitochondrial health and function and longevity perspective. And so for those interested in beginning their deuterium depleted water journey, again, I highly recommend light water.

00;39;31;03 - 00;39;34;01
Dr. Mike Belkowski
And I stand behind them 100%, seeing that,

00;39;34;01 - 00;39;37;19
Dr. Mike Belkowski
bio light and light water have become,

00;39;37;19 - 00;39;46;19
Dr. Mike Belkowski
partners and collaborated in with these with these new bio blue formulations utilizing 100% light water, deuterium depleted water.

00;39;46;19 - 00;39;56;23
Dr. Mike Belkowski
But again, just the integrity and and the people that stand behind light water, both Victor Elavsky and Robert Slovak, I can't speak highly about, both of them enough.

00;39;56;25 - 00;40;24;07
Dr. Mike Belkowski
So I would highly recommend try and light water. Go to their website which is drink light water.com and light water is lit e so drink light water.com and use code doctor Mike to get a discount off your light water order. Dr.. Mike. Doctor Mike, use that code and you'll get a discount off your light water order, but I hope you guys again found that information insightful.

00;40;24;07 - 00;40;25;15
Dr. Mike Belkowski
Interesting.

00;40;25;15 - 00;40;40;29
Dr. Mike Belkowski
Kind of another layer to the mitochondrial onion in terms of another avenue in a potent way at that to improve your mitochondrial function, both acutely, but especially long term if you're looking for anti-aging longevity strategies.

00;40;40;29 - 00;40;48;25
Dr. Mike Belkowski
For further information, again, check out that book by Gabor Somalia Deuterium Depletion. I'll leave a link to that book in the show notes.

00;40;48;27 - 00;40;49;11
Dr. Mike Belkowski
And,

00;40;49;11 - 00;40;57;27
Dr. Mike Belkowski
yeah, I'll be sure to bring on more and more experts in the deuterium depleted water area as time goes on. I'll have,

00;40;57;27 - 00;41;11;28
Dr. Mike Belkowski
Victor on again. At some point, I'll bring on Robert Slovak, because I think more and more of these conversations around deuterium depletion. Again, drinking water is just one way, albeit the the easiest and fastest way to lower your deuterium.

00;41;12;00 - 00;41;29;06
Dr. Mike Belkowski
But again, things like the ketogenic diet, intermittent fasting that also helps promote deuterium depletion, cutting out certain foods, cutting out certain drinks. That's another way to lower your deuterium levels. But simply drinking deuterium depleted water is the easiest and fastest way, so we'll leave it at that for now. But,

00;41;29;06 - 00;41;30;21
Dr. Mike Belkowski
hope you guys enjoy the rest of your week.

00;41;30;21 - 00;41;35;05
Dr. Mike Belkowski
We're we're getting close to the Thanksgiving and Christmas and holiday season.

00;41;35;05 - 00;41;41;23
Dr. Mike Belkowski
But as always, wherever you are, get outside and get some sun. Touch some grass. As always, light up your health.

00;41;41;23 - 00;42;35;04
