Tumorous Conditions

In early 90s, Gabor Somlyai reported for the first time the inhibitory effect of decreased deuterium concentration on the growth of different tumorous cell lines in vitro and in vivo. The effect of gradual depletion of deuterium content of the culture media on tumor cell proliferation was investigated on ovarian and breast carcinoma. It was found that in these cell cultures DDW induced significant inhibition of tumor growth. Deuterium depletion repressed cell division in plants and suppressed certain genes, involved in tumour formation.

Deuterium depletion is a completely original approach to inhibition of cancer cell growth in the body and to influencing other physiological processes like glucose metabolism. The results suggest that a new level of regulation exists in the cells and the ultimate signal for the cell to enter division is the changing D/H ratio. This scientific recognition serves as a new target for drug development.

HYD's approach to deuterium depletion of water and other molecules has broad potential to enhance the effectiveness of the presently available oncotherapies and to result in innovative new medicines and nutraceuticals.

What is Preventa?

Preventa® is a deuterium depleted drinking water. Made of carbonated natural mineral water and deuterium depleted water. Added mineral water: low in Sodium, Calcium-, Magnesium-Hydrogen-Carbonate containing mineral water. "The biological efficacy of the consumption of deuterium depleted water is confirmed by research and clinical investigations.

Deuterium Depletion

In the early 1990s, it has been discovered, that decreasing the deuterium (heavy isotope of hydrogen) concentration of the body below normal physiological level, it delays the progression of several types of cancer in mice and prolongs their survival [Somlyai et al., FEBS Lett. (1993) 317, 1-4]. Depletion of body deuterium (D) can simply be achieved by consumption or prolonged administration of deuterium-depleted water (DDW) and nutrients deficient in D.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it generally admitted, that Deuterium Depletion has an antitumor effect?

Yes, Hungarian authorities registered the deuterium depleted preparation as an anticancer drug for veterinary use, the human registration is ongoing. Researchers could also reproduce the antitumor effect of Deuterium Depletion in several countries of the world. 

What is the recommended dose of Preventa®?

In the course of the Preventa^® cure the normal daily water intake should be replaced with deuterium depleted water (1.5-2 Litres) and the normal water intake should be restricted. 

Is there any undesirable side-effect of Preventa® products?

Based upon the toxicological and efficacy studies and the evaluation of the clinical studies, the Hungarian Institute of Pharmacy agreed to allow patients expanded access to DDW. We can conclude, that the application of DDW do not expose patients to any danger, the application of DDW is completely safe. 

Are there non-carbonated (still) Preventa® products?

At present, there are only carbonated Preventa^® products on the market. Further on HYD Ltd. plans to produce and distribute non-carbonated products. 

Is it allowed to boil Preventa®?

Yes, it can be boiled under lid, so it can be used for making hot drinks or even for cooking.

 

Can Preventa® be stored in an open dish?

It is unadvisable to store Preventa^® uncovered for longer period of time (several hours), because in connection with open air, the composition of Preventa^® can change unfavourably. After pouring out a portion, it should be consumed within a short time. The bottle should be recapped carefully after use! 

 

How should Preventa® be used, as a cure or continuously?

For healthy people Preventa^® is suggested to use in cures once a year for 2-3 months. For cancer patients it is suggested to administer continuously for longer periods. 

 

Is it possible to experience other favourable physiological effect?

There are clinical observations, that Preventa^® can be favourably applied in case of diabetes, high blood pressure and allergenic complaints. HYD Ltd.’s research however was directed primarily towards tumorous diseases. 

 

Why is the consumption of tropical fruits contraindicated during the Preventa® cure?

In the Equator zone the D-concentration of the precipitates is higher, close to the D-concentration of the oceans (154-155 ppm). The tropical fruits were grown in the Equator zone contains Deuterium in higher concentration, this is why we suggest to eat only small amounts of this kinds of fruit. We thus suggest the consumption of fruits and vegetables grown in our climate. 

 

Is it allowed to use Preventa® under chemotherapy and radiotherapy?

Yes, we suggest the application of Preventa^® as a supporting remedy along with the conventional therapies.
