MIT Scientist: This Hidden Molecule Fuels Cancer (And It's In Your Supplements) | Stephanie Seneff
Live Longer WorldShow Notes
Is a hidden molecule in your food and water silently fueling cancer, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's? Could the supplements you trust every day be making it worse? Dr. Stephanie Seneff is a senior research scientist at MIT (published in PNAS, Frontiers, FASEB) with a career studying nutrition, biology, and toxicology. In this conversation, she explains why deuterium — a heavier form of hydrogen — may be the most underrated driver of chronic disease, why cancer might be the body's repair response to deuterium-damaged mitochondria, and why most supplements may backfire.
We discuss: ◾ Why deuterium may be the most important molecule you've never heard of ◾ How glyphosate stops your body from clearing deuterium ◾ The two supplements you should stop taking immediately ◾ Why she says: "I don't believe in supplements" ◾ Why chemo may be working backwards on cancer ◾ How to make your gut produce low-deuterium water ◾ The folic-acid-in-pregnancy and autism connection ◾ Why she drinks deuterium-depleted water every day
This is Dr. Seneff's second appearance on Live Longer World. Her first episode on glyphosate is linked below.

What if cancer isn't the enemy? What if tumors are actually the body's defense mechanism against toxins, hoarding harmful substances so they don't spread to vital organs? Almost like the body's garbage collector.But cancer kills so many people. How could it possibly be protective? Dr. Patrick Coles argues that the body has different layers of defense against toxins. First, the liver, kidneys and fat. As toxins accumulate, he believes the body creates skin growths, cysts and nodules, and eventually tumors as the last toxin storage vaults. He calls this Toxin Sequestration Theory. Patrick is a physicist and former Staff Scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory, where he led the near-term quantum computing group. His theory builds on the work of Stephanie Seneff, who's also been on this podcast.
Our brains run on infrared light. Mitochondria in the brain absorb red and near-infrared light and use it to boost cognition and energy. And mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and depression. John Mitrofanis has spent 20 years on the question: If infrared light restores the mitochondria, can it save the brain cells that die in Parkinson's? John Mitrofanis is a neuroanatomist and Scientific Director of Fonds Clinatec in Grenoble, France, the research center founded by Alim-Louis Benabid, the father of deep brain stimulation. He is also an honorary Professor at University College London's Institute of Ophthalmology, and was Professor of Anatomy at the University of Sydney for over a decade. He is the author of Run in the Light: Exploring Exercise and Photobiomodulation in Parkinson's Disease.
Most biology textbooks treat the water in our body as background, a solvent that DNA and proteins float around in. But what if a large portion of the energy in our body is actually coming from the water in our cells? And what if a disturbance to the structure of that water is a hallmark of cancer and other diseases? Dr. Gerald Pollack is a Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Washington and one of the few scientists studying what water is actually doing inside our cells. He says water is not the background, it is doing the work. It is a battery, and it is supplying us energy. Episode show notes + some bonus clips from this episode I only released for premium subscribers, find them: https://livelongerworld.com/p/gpollackHe explains: ◼️ How 99% of the molecules in our body are water molecules, and how water is not just a background solvent ◼️ How water is a battery and gives us energy ◼️ Why every cancer cell is dehydrated with low electrical potential ◼️ The role of infrared light and sunlight on water in our cells ◼️ What builds EZ water: sun, sauna, red light, grounding, juicing, deuterium depleted water, turmeric, holy basil and ghee ◼️ The effect of Hyperbaric oxygen, PEMF and magnets on EZ water ◼️ The link between dementia and EZ water
Oxford physiologist Denis Noble reveals why your genes are not the blueprint for life, why evolution itself works nothing like the selfish gene made us believe, and why the failed promise to cure disease by reading our DNA points to a completely different understanding of health and aging!
Circadian scientist Dr. Martin Moore-Ede reveals why the LED bulbs in nearly every home may be driving a rise in breast and prostate cancer, why he calls the light we now live under the tobacco of our time, and why the modern fear of the sun may be shortening our lives instead of protecting them!
