014- Deuterium- Why This Unknown Molecule Could Be the Key to Health, Energy and Longevity with Dr. Laszlo Boros

Joining us today is Dr. Laszlo Boros one of the founders of the Center for Deuterium Depletion. Dr. Boros started his career in cancer research in the early 90's and has been obsessed with treating chronic disease ever since.  In this episode we dive into the little known contributor to chronic disease, heavy hydrogen aka deuterium.  Dr. Boros' research is showing both how prevalent and how dangerous this molecule is.  Enjoy!
