Abstract: This preliminary study presents the models for deuterium depletion in plant
germination, mouse blood and human blood, and the application of these
models to study the effect of the depleted water on the live cells. The different
deuterium contents of biological fluids involved in the experiments were
measured by isotopic ratio mass spectrometry. We have found that the major
effect of deuterium depleted water (DDW) was the inhibition of the cell
division in plants, as in animal, or in human. To study the effect of the DDW
on the plant, we have measured the deuterium content of the water extracted
from plants that have consumed the DDW and we have compared with the
plant that have consumed the normal water. For the plant, the effect of DDW
was the decrease of growing rate, and decrease of germination rate of plants.
Another effect of DDW on the plants was the decrease of the average length of
stem and the decrease of the average length of roots. To study the DDW effect
on the animals, particularly on the mice and Wistar rats, we have watched the
content of the deuterium in blood for the animals that have drunk the DDW.
The experiment confirms the inhibitory effect of the DDW in tumour grows.
We have found the same effect of the DDW on the human. Also, we have found
that the deuterium content in the blood of the patients with cancer disease is
depleted by about 5-7 ppm compared with the healthy one. We suppose that
the tumorous cells that have a higher speed of growth consume the deuterium
from blood . As a result, for cancerous humans the deuterium content of blood
serum is diminished compared with the healthy human. We propose to use the
deuterium content of the blood in the cancer diagnosis and treatment. |
