The calcium bomb - Douglas Mulhall

If you have heart disease, arthritis or cancer, you have probably got calcification - one of the most widespread harmful conditions in existence, and found with diseases like osteoporosis and Alzheimers. Doctors have long known that something in our body misuses calcium to make us sick; they just haven't known why, or how to treat it. Until now. If you have never heard of calcification or don't know what it does, you will find crucial answers in this book, including medical science's recent discovery of a particle - a nanobacterium so small it challenges the very definition of life - that makes otherwise good calcium go bad, and which has also been discovered in other incurable diseases. Until recently, scientists didn't know that it existed or what it did. But, now they are beginning to understand what it is ...and how to treat it. If you are young and healthy, your own Calcium Bomb may already be ticking. The Good News: Many patients are improving with new treatment aimed at heart disease calcification. Will it work for arthritis, injuries, and some cancers where the time bomb also lurks? In easy-to-understand terms, this book explores the hotly contested evidence.
