Nano-bacteria

[coquina]

In another (non-scientific) forum in which I participate, there was a thread about nano-bacteria which secrete calcium deposits, which have been linked to the development of breast cancer. When I searched the term, the majority of hits on google seemed to be ".com", however, I did find this one from the Mayo Clinic.

Apparently there is speculation about whether they are living critters, and if they are, whether they cause the formation of plaque in the arteries, as well as kidney stones, and the calcifications that are found in some breast cancers.

 

I also read about a treatment where the protective calcium coating has been removed followed by treatment with tetracycline.

 

As I say, I am distrustful of ".com" sites. What is the general concensus amoung medical and scientific professionals about nano-bacteria?

There really isn't a generally accepted consensus yet as far as I am aware.

 

There's a thread on this in the News Forum.

7 years ago I prepared a theme form my occurence about nanobacteria in kidney, it was on University in Lodz in Poland. I think that it isnt a theme from space;)that form existing but It wasnt say how looks therapy because it was a phenomen:)and it was only a short relation.

Well considering you have just bumped a topic from 7 years ago maybe you should have just mentioned it then.
