What even is deuterium?

A thread on “heavy hydrogen” and why it’s so important in understanding mitochondrial health and the development of chronic disease

“The organism is, in the ideal, a quantum superposition of coherent activities over all space-times… each correlated with one another and with the whole, and yet independent of the whole.” - Mae-Wan Ho

The human body is not a chaotic biochemical soup in need of constant medical intervention

It is a highly ordered, interconnected, bioelectric structure that houses an intelligence which stretches beyond anything our conscious minds can comprehend

@the_no_mind Good info, just missing a fundamental piece:

Modern lighting

[Shea Stickel @SheaStickel]

Consistent, direct exposure to UV-B light truly is Nature’s Ozempic

Read and study anything and everything. Build a coherent worldview.

Without this, your ideas — which dictate your actions — will always just be someone else’s

Douglas Wallace's mitochondrial paradigm is prob the most important framework in medicine that nobody in mainstream practice uses.

Chronic disease is an energy problem (not one gene centralized bs).

- mtDNA sits right next to the electron transport chain
- No histones protecting it
- Minimal repair capacity
- Mutation rate x10-17 higher than nuclear DNA

BUT heteroplasmy (mito mutations) accumulates, and this is the KEY puzzle piece,

When dysfunctional mitochondria cross a threshold in a given tissue, that tissue begins fails. High ATP demand tissues go first and you see this reflected in chronic disease distributions.

Brain → neurodegeneration
Heart → cardiomyopathy
Beta cells → T2DM
Immune cells → chronic inflammation

Teh upstream dysfunction is similar.

You essentially just get a different diagnostic label depending on which tissue hits the threshold first.

Modern environmental mismatches drive this process.

- ALAN nuking melatonin (your most potent mitochondrial antioxidant).
- Processed seed oils driving cardiolipin remodeling in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
- Micronutrient depletion starving the ETC of its cofactors (CoQ10, B2, B3, iron-sulfur clusters, copper)

= accelerating heteroplasmy accumulation while simultaneously degrading the inputs mitochondria need to function and coordinate physiology.

Circadian rhythm is the foundation of health.

Watching sunrise is a non-negotiable.

- Check your weather app
- Set your alarm for sunrise
- Go outside. No sunglasses, no phone

This is truly how God designed us to live.
