Nanomotors are tiny engines inside your cell's mitochondria - think of them like billions of wind turbines powered by the hydrogens in your food instead of wind. Instead of making electricity, nanomotors make energy (ATP) and metabolic water which are absolutely required for everything you do from reading this website to sleeping to exercise. You make about 68 pounds of energy and 1,100 liters of metabolic water a day at a minium. Deuterium weighs twice as much as regular hydrogen and breaks nanomotors when it is used instead of regular hydrogen. Less nanomotors decrease your ability to make energy and metabolic water. Chronic fatigue happens when TOO many nanomotors are destroyed and not rebuilt.

What Deuterium Does to Your Sleep.

Sleep is an important part of your body’s natural deuterium depletion process; however, high levels of deuterium can negatively impact your sleep, creating a vicious cycle. When too much deuterium ends up in your tissues and organs, especially your brain stem, it contributes to dysfunction including sleep apnea, weight gain, snoring, restless legs, and other disturbances. It also robs you of your dreams - that's right, if you don't dream, you're likely not depleting deuterium from your brain. Additionally, if your body is operating with low cellular energy production due to high deuterium levels, you may not be able to achieve enough restorative deep and REM sleep as your body struggles to maintain itself.

What Deuterium Does to Your Mood.

High levels of deuterium lead to decreased energy, making you feel tired and fatigued. But did you know that deuterium is also linked to more serious mood-related conditions like anxiety and depression? A study published in 2015 in Behavioural Brain Research journal found that rates of depression are actually correlated geographically with the level of deuterium in drinking water. Not only that, they also found that drinking deuterium depleted water reduced symptoms of depression in mice, just like an antidepressant would. While we still have a lot to learn about deuterium’s role in mood disorders, we know that high levels of deuterium are associated with both low energy production and inflammation, both of which can be contributing factors in these conditions.

What Deuterium Does to Your Cell's Life Cycle.

When deuterium becomes part of your DNA and changes its shape, this can cause problems other than cancer as well. When your DNA is no longer able to fold properly, it remains stretched out and the cell continually replicates and does not “rest” like a normal cell would. Continuous replication means that not only do you grow older faster, which we call premature aging, but that your cells have more of a chance to incorporate less-than-optimal building blocks that could ultimately lead to diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer's.

What Deuterium Does to Cancer Cells.

When deuterium becomes part of the backbone of your DNA, it changes its three dimensional structure. Think of it like Lego pieces: the shape of what you create depends on the size of the pieces you use. When DNA becomes so misshapen that it can’t fold properly, the backbone remains “open” and genetic mutations occur because the cell replicates over and over. Some of those mutations lead to normal cells becoming cancer cell. The metabolism of cancer cells differ from normal cells. Almost everyone knows that cancer primarily use sugars (carbohydrates) for energy. In most cases, a high-carb diet means it is also a high-deuterium diet, and cancer cells use the energy made from these foods primarily to fuel the continuous replication of its DNA. Eating deuterium-rich food is literally like pouring gas into your cancer's fuel tank!
