New Study from Mayo Clinic Shows That Calcifying Particles May Trigger Atherosclerosis
For decades, soft tissue calcification (STC) has been recognized as a passive, after-the-fact process resulting from injury or old age; however with the advent of new technologies, many medical professionals are now realizing that STC may be the cause, instead of the effect, of many of our most common illnesses.
Scientific evidence is increasingly linking tiny nano-sized calcifying particles to the initiation of atherosclerosis. One of the first tests to prove this point is a scientific test called Koch’s postulate. This where a pathogen or suspected causal agent to a certain disease is taken from one animal and then injected into a second healthy animal to see if the animal develops the same disease.
Last week, researchers from the Mayo Clinic presented results at the 2007 Experimental Biology meeting in Washington, D.C that may change the way science views calcification.
The study's author, Maria Kraemer, a Mayo Graduate School student in Rochester, Minn., and colleagues isolated and propagated self-replicating, calcifying nanoparticles from human arteriosclerotic aneurysms and kidney stones and then inoculated animal models with the calcified nanoparticles. A second group of models received a diluted inoculation. Blocked arteries were apparent in some animals in both groups 35 days after receiving the dosage and showed the presence of nanoparticles near the plaque-filled arteries. The study suggests that nanoparticles potentially represent a previously unrecognized factor in the development of arteriosclerosis and calcific arterial disease.
Over the past few years, researchers have used various names to characterize these nano-sized particles that are composed primarily of calcium and phosphorous. They have been called nanobacteria, basic calcium phosphate crystals (BCP’s) and most recently, calcifying nano-particles (CNPs). Regardless of the name, the data is mounting that calcium phosphate crystals may be more than a passive and secondary condition. Considering that they are associated with more than half of all chronic disease affecting the population, more research on these particles is desperately needed.

Once again thanks for the information. My question to you is shouldn't we all be concerned with calcification and nanobacteria???? It seems many diseases are caused from this. My question to you is what should we do to make sure the calcium is not depositing in the wrong place in the body?? I am dealing with very painful heelspurs and am taking coral calcium and getting some relief. Now I am concerned that maybe this form of calcium is depositing elsewhere in my body and possibly causing me other problems. Please advise and thanks again.

Nanobacteria, recently renamed "calcifying nanoparticles (CNPs)" are a cause of calcification, in my opinion. Nanobac (www.nanobac.com) has diagnostics that check for CNPs. There is a therapy offered by a compounding pharmacist (http://www.westchasepharmacy.com/caldetox.html) to address CNPs. I beleive the therapy is by Rx only. There are knock off protocols on the market that are sold OTC...the link above is the original. The data linking CNPs to disease is growing and there seem to be many anecdotal positive results regarding the alleviation of symptoms following treatment of the CNPs. A search on the term "nanobacteria" at pubmed.com returns 81 results:

There is no established link between dietary consumption of calcium and the progression of calcification. The deposition of calcium phosphate or calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (most likely the composition of your spurs) is more likely due to mineral imbalance, excess phosphorus, foreign pathogens such as CNPs or mycobacterium, and/or poorly functioning "calcium carrying" proteins such as matrix GLA.
Coral calcium is calcium carbonate. I am
From the research, to help clear calcium crytals deposits, one should take calcium, magnesium, potassium, and other trace minerals. Chelating agents such as EDTA, Citrates, Vitamin C, etc. are proving to be excellent in treating circulatory calcifications (with or without positive CNP testing) as well.
I think the best approach is multifaceted. There are a number of informative websites including:

There is seldom a magic bullet cure for any condition...unless the bullet addresses a symptom (a problem with modern medicine, imho..treat the symptom, not that patient).
A combination of minerals (macro and micro) coupled with a cleanse, and supplementation of ingredients that help your body's calcium metabolizing proteins, such as K2 and Cholecaciferol, is the best approach to help alleviate calcification (and early on to reduce the chance for calcifcation later on in life). Once calcification begins, the treatments should be ongoing and, if possible, be as gentle as possible. It takes years to form calcium crystal deposits...it will take some time to clear them. Stopping the calcification process is the primary goal.
