Could the protons be fusing into Helium (perhaps providing some of the heat), and then the Helium burning?

A nuclear reaction should produce non-natural distributions. Yes. It is clear from the Swedish analysis that this is CANNOT be a nuclear of reaction of nickel at all. Nickel certainly can provide a good matrix in which protons fuse into deuterium. This seems to be the only conceivable way that the metal can maintain a natural distribution, and yet participate in the large amount of gain (in a non-nuclear way). If there is anything nuclear, and the metal isotope distribution is natural - then it is almost a guarantee that it must involve only hydrogen, no metal. This conclusion is falsifiable.
