Isotopic Composition of Water as a Factor of Human Longevity in Research of Phenomenon of Longevity in Mountainious and Field Areas of Bulgaria

Abstract

The article outlines the data on longevity factors and mountain water in factorial research of phenomenon of longevity in mountainous and field areas of Bulgaria. It was established the dependence among various internal and external factors on a phenomenon of longevity – the residence area, health status, gender and heredity. Natural waters derived from various Bulgarian water springs as well as water with varying deuterium content and the human blood serum of cancer patients were investigated by IR, NES and DNES methods. As estimation factor was measured the values ​​of the average energy of hydrogen bonds (∆E_H...O) among H₂O molecules, as well as local maxima in the IR- and DNES-spectra of various samples of water and human blood serum at ∆E_H...O = -0,1387 eV (the DNES-method) and λ = 8,95 μm (the IR-method). The increased content of deuterium in water leads to physiological, morphological and cytology alterations of the cell, and also renders negative influence on cellular metabolism, while deuterium depleted water with the reduced on 25–30% deuterium content has beneficial effects on health. For a group of people in critical condition of life and patients with malignant tumors the greatest values ​​of local maxima in DNES-spectra are shifted to lower energies relative to the control group.
