Well - that's the rub isn't it? The actual numbers do not work out very well. The fusion reaction of deuterium to helium provides about 24 MeV gain, and yet anything over about 10 KeV would have been measured by now; therefore to support a helium fusion hypothesis - we would need at least 2,400 isomers or intermediate stages of helium, all fairly evenly spaced. Plus, the lifetime of each isomer state, at least in those elements with known isomers, is long. If helium has thousands of isomers, it would typically take centuries to decay. Thus to prop up the required details for fusion of D to He at low energy, which is one miracle, one needs another miracle which is finding isomers in helium, which has no known isomers, then another miracle to suggest that there are actually ~3000 isomers in relatively equal steps, and finally another miracle that all the isomers decay very rapidly. Not to mention the fifth miracle, which is that decay via nuclear isomers is the exclusive method of energy release, happening all the time ... with no other channels.
