Calcification & Inflammation
Healthy Calcification consists of calcium and phosphorus and is a normal process for building healthy bones and teeth. But Calcification occurs in UNHEALTHY (Pathological) ways as well. Pathological calcification is a central component of disease conditions such as atherosclerosis, stone-forming diseases, cataracts, chronic prostatitis, BPH, erectile dysfunction, skin disorders, neurological disorders as well as strokes and heart attacks.
Nanobacteria form slow-growing calcified colonies in arteries and organs, much in the same way as coral reefs form.
Calcification of blood vessels typically involves the heart's coronary arteries in atherosclerosis. It occurs in arteries throughout the body in arteriosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries. Kidney stones are calcifications within the urinary tract and gallstones in the gall bladder. Stones and calcifications also occur in most all organs and in our brains (brain sand) as Nanobacteria are so small that they move freely through the blood-brain barrier.
Soft tissue calcifications examples: prostatitis (a painful inflammation of the prostate gland), and Polycystic Kidney Disease (growths of cysts in the kidneys), insulin resistance, microvascular disease, calcification in cancer and Type II Diabetes.
PATHOLOGICALLY-PRODUCED CALCIFICATION has been found to be responsible for short-term and long-term inflammatory responses that are involved in many chronic diseases of our tissues and organ systems.
Inflammation is a normal response of the body to protect tissues from infection, injury or disease, but it can also harm the body when it becomes excessive or chronic.
The inflammatory response begins with production and release of chemical agents by cells in infected, injured or diseased tissue. These agents cause redness, swelling, pain, heat and loss of function and mobilization of our immune-defense systems.
Inflamed tissues generate additional signals that recruit leukocytes to the site of inflammation. Leukocytes destroy and wall-off by several means, any infective or injurious agent, and remove or isolate cellular debris from damaged tissues. The inflammatory responses begin as acute episodes that become chronic with periodic acute flareups. Acute responses usually promotes healing but uncontrolled chronic responses are usually harmful in the long-term.
Chronic inflammation becomes the problem rather than the solution to long-term infection, injury or disease.
Chronically inflamed tissues continue to generate signals that attract leukocytes from the bloodstream. When leukocytes migrate from the bloodstream into the tissue they amplify the inflammatory response.
This chronic inflammatory response can break down healthy tissue in a misdirected attempt at repair and healing. Diseases characterized by chronic inflammation include, among others:
- Atherosclerosis, including Coronary Artery Disease;
- Rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis
- Prostatitis, BPH, Erectile Dysfunction & Testicular Stones
- Psoriasis, eczema, scleroderma and atopic dermatitis
