Challenges The Definition Of Life
"For decades doctors have been baffled by diseases that seem like infections but can't be cured with drugs.
Now, researchers have found an invader so small that it CHALLENGES THE DEFINITION OF LIFE.
As scientists argue the evidence, physicians are astonished to see circulatory and other conditions improve in patients when a compound that attacks the intruder is prescribed....."
[from the book of the back cover]

Advocating a re-evaluation of contemporary medical practices
Has Heart Disease Been Cured? is a breakthrough work by journalist Douglas Mulhall and a biological engineer Katja Hansen. The two collaborators have tirelessly labored to present their findings that the root cause of heart disease and "hardening of the arteries" may not be excess fat, but rather a microbiological infection that can be treated and cured without the necessity of surgical intervention. Convincingly researched for the medical community and accessibly written for the non-specialist general reader, Has Heart Disease Been Cured? is a sharply profiled and highly necessary wake-up call advocating a re-evaluation of contemporary medical practices concerning this deadly and wide-spread cardiac condition.

Now Heart Disease Found To Be A Treatable Infection!
ALL OVER AGE 35 MUST READ THIS BOOK NOW! Mulhall & Hansen have done a great job explaining difficult medical concepts and describing the paradigm-shifting disruptive medical research, nanobiotech and prescription discoveries by the startup Nanobac Pharmaceuticals. The three discoverers: Mezo, Kajander & Ciftcioglu are a lively and interesting mix! This could very well be the most important medical news in 100 years....big pharma is probably watching VERY closely! BUY THIS BOOK and READ IT TWICE to be sure you didn't miss anything. ...

Product Description
Malaria is the leading parasitic infectious disease in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) in terms of morbidity, hospitalisation and mortality. Pregnant women and children under the age of five years, especially infants, are the most vulnerable. In SSA where 90 per cent of the global burden of malaria is concentrated, at least one child dies of malaria every 40 seconds. Intermittent preventive treatment (IPT) describes the administration of a full course of anti-malarial drugs to the population at risk at specified time intervals, irrespective of whether or not one is infected. Drug resistance, especially multi-drug resistance, and difficulties in eradicating the mosquito vector have been the basis of malaria resurgence over the past 30 years. In addition, massive problems with logistics, planning, allocation of resources and a lack of operational research have contributed greatly to the failure of malaria eradication. This book gathers the latest research from around the globe in this field. ... Read more

Product Description
IF YOU HAVE HEART DISEASE, ARTHRITIS, or CANCER, you've 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've never heard of calcification or don't know what it does, you'll find crucial answers in The Calcium Bomb, 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'RE YOUNG AND HEALTHY, your own Calcium Bomb may already be ticking. The Leading Causes of Death list is intimately linked to calcification-associated illnesses like heart disease -- and the U.S. Surgeon General estimates that getting rid of heart disease alone would increase the average lifespan by five years.

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. ... Read more

Fancy words for Lymphogranuloma Venereum
In my opinion, this is just a fancy words for Lymphogranuloma Venereum. This is a sexually transmitted disease.And it can also be contracted by being dirty.

The so call nanobacterial this book describe, in my opinion, is just a Chlamydia.Chlamydia is an organism that is not a bacterial nor is it in any other class of microbial organism. It is in a class by itself thus I suspect this nanobacterial this book describe is the same organism call Chlamydia.

Lymphogranuloma Venereum is another form of Chlamydia but with slighty different characteristic.Lymphogranuloma Venereum manifests many of the characteristics of this Nanobacteria described in this book including heart disease and calcification.

I suspect Lymphogranuloma Venereum infects many individual without they being aware of it.And those who notice it will mistaken it for Chlamydia. Thus mistakenly treating Lymphogranuloma Venereum as Chlamydia will result in Lymphogranuloma Venereum still infesting the individual with primary physical symptoms disappearing while Lymphogranuloma Venereum ravage the individual.

This is my analysis of this Nanobacterial this author writes about.It is recommended that individual manifesting the symptoms of Nanobacteria described in this book goes to the doctor and ask for Lymphogranuloma Venereum test that detect this disease.It is a specific test and unless you ask for it, your disease will be mistaken for Chlamydia.

My review is my opinion thus it is recommended that you go see your doctor and get his advice regarding Lymphogranuloma Venereum.

Arterial Plaque can be removed
The book discusses how a newly discovered microorganism, nanobacteria, are responsible for the plaque that accumulates within our tissues as we age. Plaque buildup is what causes heart disease, and other circulatory issues. Beyond that it describes how the use of EDTA suppositories and the antibiotic tetracycline have been used remove plaque from arteries and restore health to many who would certainly die without this therapy.
There is some controversy in that nanobacteria are not currently scientifically accepted as being living organisms, and that they are not accepted as the cause of arterial plaque formation. The authors give compelling evidence that they are organisms and they do cause plaque formation. Beyond the scientific argument about nanobacteria, there is no debate that arterial plaque and calcification are major contributors to heart disease, and that EDTA chelation therapy can remove this plaque in many people. The book gives numerous examples of those who have been saved from this therapy, and it provides references to where this therapy can be obtained.
It does downplay the effectiveness of oral EDTA chelation, and it highly recommends the use of tetracycline. In that, it seems to favor a therapeutic regimen that is currently available through only one source, and at a premium price. I am trying to give useful information here rather than a simple review. I have researched this to quite an extent and believe that oral EDTA chelation is fairly effective, it is much easier to take, and it is a lot cheaper than the suppositories they recommend. Beyond that garlic and curcumin, are very safe and effective herbs that offer some anti-plaque benefits.
This is one of the best books I have ever read. It is very thoroughly researched and referenced. Currently the web site www.calcify.com simply displays a message stating that the authors are working on an updated version of the book. I will certainly buy it as soon as it's available.I am disappointed that this book is already out of print and that currently it is selling for such a premium price. If you suffer from life threatening heart disease then by all means buy it, it will be worth every penny to you. If you have more of a scientific interest then you may wish to wait for the updated version or research EDTA chelation therapy on the web.
I would prefer that the future version of the book focus more on methods of removing plaque from the body and less on the scientific debate over nanobacteria.

Good book, but there are other factors involved in calcification.
This book is the natural complement to "Calcification: the Aging Factor," by Mark Mayer. While these books are on the same subject, they are both very different in content. The Calcium Bomb is about nanobacteria; while "Calcification: the Aging Factor" talks about other factors that can contribute to calcifications.

The Calcium Bomb
An interesting read on health but is it fact or fiction?Pretty scary if true as it is not main stream.

Extraordinary Book
I just finished reading an extraordinary book, The Calcium Bomb: The Nanobacteria Link to Heart Disease and Cancer. It also explains for the first time, the possible etiology and outline for a real treatment of my own ailment (which I know quite a bit about) ankloysing spondylitis. This is a work of excellent investigative scholarship and if its basic premise is true, namely that nanobacteria create calcium shells to protect themselves and can only be killed once they are unsheathed, then it may be one of the most important health books ever written. The relationship between nanobacteria and atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis is portrayed convincingly. ... Read more
