HYPOXIA #21: WHY DOES MITOCHONDRIA NEED A 'LITE FUEL'?

Do you know the purpose of the unusual construction of the mitochondrial membranes? Did you know that the inner mitochondrial membrane is the ONLY membrane in humans that is DEVOID of DHA? Do you know why the membranes in the mitochondria are built by Nature to be extremely hydrophobic? Do you know that these membranes can carry voltages close to 30 million volts because of this build-out? Do you know that one of these membranes actually makes water from food? Did you know that the atomic construction of this water also has to be specifically depleted of a certain isotope? Do you know why all these things exist in your mitochondria?

The answer might shock you. Uncle Jack is going to tell you that all these things occurred 650 million years ago to suspend the laws of physics to allow nature to do things not even gods could fathom. Nature figured out how to use nanoscale spaces to suspend physics to build the possibility of life.

Did you know when a thin layer of water is squeezed between two hydrophobic surfaces, the laws of classical physics break down? Well, I have been teaching my members this since my epic April 2016 webinar on what life really is up too. Now you have more data I am on the right track and the paradigm and all my critics remain myopic.

The take-home is this: PHYSICS IS THE SCIENCE OF PROBABILITIES. BIOLOGY IS THE STORY OF THE IMPROBABLE AND BIOLOGY CAN ONLY MAKE SENSE FROM THE PERSPECTIVE THAT THE LIVING STATE IS ONLY PROBABLE USING REACTIONS WHICH ARE STATISTICALLY IMPROBABLE.

So Nature built cells to have the ability to suspend what we should expect to give us the most improbable answer why life really exists and happens. She figured out how to suspend her own laws using things she built. How is that for counterintuitive?

That is why I teach Black Swans how to think.  Black Swans are rare.  They go deeper to find wisdom than others would.  I call these people Black Swan mitochondriacs.  Humans that actually take the time, to read, research, and read about science that on the surface seems superfluous, but is foundational to our health on the submolecular quantum level.

Nature does not employ any "balanced protocol" in her usage. She is all about unbalancing the scales to favor the tasks that cells need to accomplish. NEVER FORGET IT.

And anyone who says otherwise will have to explain this new finding.

People who have open minds to accept new data that blows your paradigm of beliefs apart.

Why do living things prefer the lighter isotope of hydrogen than the heavier version of hydrogen called deuterium?  

Heavier things make quantum mechanics "less probable".

In the early 1980s, researchers first noted an unexpected effect when two hydrophobic surfaces were slowly brought together in water. At some point, the two surfaces would suddenly jump into contact—like two magnets being brought together.  No one knew why or how it happened.   

Part of this research challenge was to realize that the hydrophobic interaction is unique to liquid water.   No other solvents are capable of this effect.  Living things are most made of water.    Your colony of mitochondria make water. 

The smaller an object/atom is, the less strictly it is governed by the laws of classical physics, and the more it is subject to quantum effects. A tiny hydrogen atom is a quantum object—sometimes behaving like a particle, sometimes more like a wave. Deuterium, twice as heavy as hydrogen, is less subject to quantum effects. The consequence is that D2O is less destabilized than H2O when squeezed between two hydrophobic surfaces and the hydrogen bonds between water molecules get broken.  It turns out life wants to shapeshift water's hydrogen bonds with light to create the magic that life uses.

When mitochondria are non optimal they are making less water and they become hypoxic.  This changes the delta psi or the electric charge on its membranes and this lowers the redox potential.  We can see this effect via our endogenous glutathione levels on testing.  This lowers the probability of these quantum nuclear effects in water making illness more likely over health. 

This tells us that this effect is important in creating the living state.  This new research work shows how quantum nuclear effects in water become substantial on the nanoscale.  that is the scale your cells operate in.

Nature is capable of a lot more than we believe.
