Here's the connection to insects: Infection with Bartonella weissii and Detection of Nanobacterium Antigens in a North Carolina Beef Herd www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=87844Very recently, Bartonella organisms have been isolated from large ruminants (deer, elk, and dairy and beef cattle) located in the United States and in France. In this study, we report the serologic, microbiologic, and molecular findings related to the isolation of a Bartonella species in North Carolina beef cattle and the detection of nanobacterial antigen using a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Bartonella spp. comprise an important group of vector-transmitted, intracellular bacterial pathogens. Diverse vectors, including sandflies, lice, mites, fleas, ticks, and potentially other insects can transmit these organisms among reservoir hosts. Although their actual existence, is controversial, nanobacteria are purportedly intracellular pathogens that can persist within intracellular compartments of the host for years. Nanobacteria appear to cause a variety of cytotoxic manifestations in cell culture, a feature that was responsible for their ultimate discovery. Based upon the respective 16S rRNA gene sequences, Bartonella and Nanobacterium spp. are members of the alpha subdivision of the Proteobacteria and purportedly share cross-reacting epitopes In Europe, Kajander and colleagues have reported that more than 80% of commercial bovine serum lots contain Nanobacterium spp. . To our knowledge, data related to Nanobacterium infection in cattle is not yet available from the United States. As Nanobacteria purportedly share similar surface antigens with Bartonella spp., there may be serologic cross-reactivity; however, the extent to which cross-reactivity occurs has not been well characterized. Because of the potential for serologic cross-reactivity among these two organisms, we tested a subgroup of the herd with a commercially available antigen ELISA test kit. Surprisingly, 100% (22 of 22) of the cattle tested in this herd had very high levels of circulating nanobacterial antigens. In humans and experimentally infected laboratory animals, Nanobacteria can cause chronic infection. Future studies should examine the potential relationship between exposure to and infection with Bartonella and Nanobacterium species, the extent to which these organisms might contribute to disease manifestations in cattle and the extent to which cattle might serve as a reservoir for human infection. I'll look up what the symptoms of Bartonella are...btw..a co-infection to Lymes Disease... Jeany

Bartonella en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BartonellaBartonella (formerly known as Rochalimaea) is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria. Facultative intracellular parasites, Bartonella species can infect healthy people but are considered especially important as opportunistic pathogens. Bartonella are transmitted by insect vectors such as ticks, fleas, sand flies and mosquitoes. At least eight Bartonella species or subspecies are known to infect humans. In June 2007, a new species under the genus, called Bartonella melophagi, was discovered. This is the sixth species known to infect humans, and the ninth species and subspecies, overall, known to infect humans. In 2001 doctors treating Lyme disease first reported that their patients were co-infected with Bartonella. Multiple reports of this finding seem to indicate that Bartonella is not only a tick borne but a tick-transmitted pathogen. Treatment is dependent on which strain of Bartonella is found in a given patient. While Bartonella species are susceptible to a number of standard antibiotics in vitro—macrolides and tetracycline, for example—the efficacy of antibiotic treatment in immunocompetent individuals is uncertain. Immunocompromised patients should be treated with antibiotics because they are particularly susceptible to systemic disease and bacteremia. Drugs of particular effectiveness include trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, gentamicin, ciprofloxacin, and rifampin; B. henselae is generally resistant to penicillin, amoxicillin, and nafcillin Read also: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_scratch_feverJeany

Symptoms of Bartonella: www.lymedisease.org/lyme101/coinfections/bartonella.htmlBartonellosis is often mild but in serious cases it can affect the whole body. Early signs are fever, fatigue, headache, poor appetite, and an unusual, streaked rash. Swollen glands are typical, especially around the head, neck and arms. Burrascano suspects bartonellosis when neurologic symptoms are out of proportion to the other systemic symptoms of chronic Lyme. He also notes gastritis, lower abdominal pain, sore soles, and tender subcutaneous nodules along the extremities. Lymph nodes may be enlarged and the throat can be sore. Jeany

Nanobacteria -- The New Thing In Heart Disease www.chelationtherapyonline.com/articles/p54.htmNanobacteria (NB) are extremely small, slowly growing bacteria that can be cultured from the blood of humans and mammals. It’s size is 20-200 nanometers. Compared to “regular” bacteria, NB is 1/1,000 the size, allowing it to easily move around into other cells and invade them. NB causes apoptosis (cell death) when exposed to other cells or bacteria. It can cause alteration of the gene-expression pattern of other cells. When compared to other bacteria, it grows very, very slowly, only reproducing every 3 days…..”regular” bacteria reproduce in minutes or hours. Nanobacteria cannot be grown in standard culture media and can only be grown in mammalian blood or serum. Nanobacteria were discovered by Nobel Prize Nominees Dr. Neva Ciftcioglu, PhD and Olavi Kajander, MD, PhD as a “contaminant” in mammalian cell cultures that kept killing the mammalian cells (apoptosis) in their mammalian cell culture research. Because of its extremely small size and extremely slow growth rate, NB has avoided detection and scientific study until recently. Nanobacteria can only be seen using electron and atomic force microscopes. Nanobacteria are “pleomorphic” which means that they have different physical bodies during their life cycle and can change appearance and form during their growth and development. One form described is 20-100 nanometers in size with a “unique” and “unusual” cell membrane structure. This form “oozes” or secretes a calcific biofilm “gooey slime” around itself that provides protection as well as allowing for multiple nanobacteria to connect, collaborate and somehow function together as a unit or colony. This calcific biofilm allows the NB to act like “slime molds” that can expand, contract and move. This Biofilm-phase of Nanobacterial life appears to be present when the Nanobacteria are chemically attacked, physiologically stressed, environmentally attacked, when they are working together or reproducing. The calcific biofilm that is secreted by the nanobacteria is a potent endotoxin and mediator (cause) of inflammation and swelling. In other words, our bodies react aggressively in response to the presence of this nanobacteria-secreted biofilm with swelling and irritation, the release of cytokines, interleukins, leukocytes, mast cells, collagenase, matrix metalloproteinases and etc. Our bodies react by trying to wall off the area of nanobacterial infection. When Nanobacteria are in an enclosed area, they cause chronic inflammation and swelling. Most of the commonly known medical “markers of inflammation” (C Reactive Protein, MMP's, MPO, Interleukins, etc.) are found to be elevated in response to the endotoxin in the nanobacterial biofilm.

Chronic inflammatory responses are usually seen in areas where nanobacteria are found. Nanobacteria can infect any tissue or cell and have even been seen and photographed killing T-6 Lymphocytes, an important part of our immune system.
The nanobacteria-secreted calcium biofilm calcifies and hardens around the nanobacteria forming a hard calcified “shell” around itself.
In this calcified state, these nanobacteria can either reproduce upon themselves forming aggregate “budding-like” clusters or they can just remain in a state of “relative calcified dormancy”.
Our body does not recognize calcified nanobacteria as a foreign substance or pathogen.
When in their calcified “igloo-structure” form, our bodies “see” these nanobacteria as common “calcium”, a substance found throughout our bodies at all times.
Even the most seasoned of microbiology researchers have to be specifically taught how to culture, isolate and observe these nanobacteria.
NanobacLabs now has available the nanobacTEST diagnostic testing for Nanobacterial Antigen and Antibodies that test for active nanobacterial infection and/or exposure to nanobacteria.
Even a recently published government study on Nanobacteria was inherently flawed and invalid because their nanobacterial cultures were contaminated with regular bacteria….invalidating their DNA findings.
OF NOTE: For 20+ years, researchers have been trying to implicate Chlamydia pneumoniae to be involved in atherosclerosis and plaque development because it is routinely found to be positive to Chlamydia pneumoniae antibody Elisa testing, yet researchers have yet to be able to "grow out" this Chlamydia from atherosclerotic plaque.
The lack of Chlamydia pneumoniae in plaque as determined by PCR and negative culture results has caused medical researchers to abandon this line of thought.
Now, multiple nanobacterial researchers have shown that Nanobacterium sanguineum causes a "false positive" on Chlamydia pneumoniae Elisa testing.
Nanobacteria has been found to be a contaminant in previously assumed-to-be-sterile medical products, specifically IPV Polio Vaccine.
Most human biologicals and vaccines are made in fetal bovine serum, a medium that is known to be contaminated with nanobacteria.
In order to prevent this problem, human biological products must be made in Nano-Free Culture medium (filtered first through 20 nanometer filters and then Gamma-Irradiated with 150 megarads to kill any nanobacteria present.!!!!!!!!
Nanobacteria has been shown by multiple scientific researchers to be the cause of the pathological (disease-causing) calcification found in Atherosclerotic Plaque, Coronary Artery Plaque, Heart Disease, Kidney Stones, Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), Cataracts, Scleroderma, Psoriasis, Eczema, Lichen planus, Liver Cysts, Breast Calcification, Prostate Calcification, Dental Plaque and Periodontal Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, Fibromyalgia, Spurs and have been implicated to be involved in certain cancers, blood disorders, and myelodegenerative disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis, Lou Gehrig's and Alzheimer’s Disease.
Multiple Scientific Researchers believe that Nanobacteria are the cause of all pathological calcification in humans and mammals.
Calcification by Nanobacterium sanguineum is the only valid explanation. When this is explained to most physicians, their general response has been “Wow, it all makes sense now!”. Nanobacteria it's pathological calcification are implicated to be either the cause or instrumental in most all degenerative disease processes.
Wish as we may, there are no known natural substances that can kill these Nanobacteria.
Additionally, Nanobacterium sanguineum cannot be killed by Penicillin, Cephalosporins, Macrolides, most other antibiotics, Heat under 196F (90C) degrees, Freezing, Dehydration, Gamma Irradiation under 150 MegaRads, other Bacteria or Viruses, Alcohol, Peroxides, Garlic, Colloidal silver, IP6, MGN3, Lactoferrin, Frequency generators, Immune boosters, Colostrum, Transfer Factors, Immunoglobulins or herbals.
These nanobacteria are extremeophiles and are probably the most highly resistant of all bacteria to destruction.
In order to treat a nanobacterial infection, you first have to remove their protective calcium shells, and then kill them with an agent specifically effective as an anti-nanobacterial, specifically our NanobacTX.
In one of our Pilot Studies between NanobacLabs and Drs. Ciftcioglu & Kajander (University of Kuopio, Finland) and Nanobac Oy, Finland using the nanobacTEST Nanobacterial Antigen and Nanobacterial Antibody Test, our scientifically-designed prescription NanobacTX was shown to eradicate calcified Nanobacterium sanguineum and its calcification in patients.
NanobacTX by NanobacLabs is the only treatment scientifically shown in clinical studies to be effective in eradicating Nanobacterium sanguineum. All other modalities have failed. NanobacTX is available only by physician prescription. The nanobacTEST for Nanobacterium sanguineum Antigen and Antibodies is now available. You may call NanobacLabs TollFree at 1-877-676-2241to find out how to get tested for nanobacterial infection.

Blood test for pathological calcification www.cli-online.com/products/vitamins-bones/clinical-laboratory/blood-test-for-pathological-calcification/index.html?tx_ttproducts_pi1Blood test for pathological calcification. “Snowballs” of 200 nm containing calcium phosphate are found in all forms of pathological calcification. Calcifying nanoparticles, (CNPs)/nanobacteria, have been isolated and characterised by Nanobac Ltd, and products and services have been developed to diagnose and eradicate them. CNPs have been isolated from human kidney stones, gall stones, cancer with calcification, atherosclerotic lesions and blood. Two CE-marked ELISA kits for human diagnosis are available: NANOCAPTURE ELISA for the quantitative measurement of CNP antigen, and NANO-SERO IgG ELISA for anti-CNP antibodies. The NANO-SERO IgG ELISA has recently been used to detect exposure to CNPs, and as a method to follow the efficacy of anti-CNP therapy. Jeany

Just found this interesting article: Is Bacteria Gonna Get Us? www.authorsden.com/visit/viewArticle.asp?id=25990.....Thinking about this global puzzle, I took a step back. A couple of years prior to my awakening, while researching the cause for kidney stones, I found a medical paper authored in 2004 by The British HIV Association about AIDS. It was a fascinating piece about finding an antigen circulating in the blood of HIV positive women and children in Africa. It had a direct connection to kidney stones. There was a link in the 2004 study to a new bacteria discovered in 1988 by a Finnish Scientist. In the early reports it was tied to cows, plants and 'the soil' our food sources touch. Daunting! About the same time this discovery was announced, one of the lead medical doctors on the NASA Space Team wrote a paper about an unknown bacterium found in the blood of the returning astronauts. When each astronaut went into space a bacteria seemed to duplicate twice as fast under exposure to zero gravity. Within days of reading this research, I heard an author discussing a book titled: The Calcium Bomb. Even though this material reads at times like a medical journal, it’s worth the price of admission to understand a critical connection not being talked about in many circles. To cut to the chase of the book's presentation and the link to the NASA findings, the bacteria discovered is called ‘nano bacteria’. It spreads through the blood. There is only one method available in the world to test for nano bacteria. All tests are performed in Finland using a patented enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit which is sent to your local physician with blood draw and mailing instructions. The test is not covered by medical plans and it’s very expensive, so is the extended treatment and even the treatment does not completely stop the return of nano bacteria. The blood test for this critter looks for antigens and specific nano bacteria antibodies as this is the link to having the bacterium. There is not yet a diagnosed ‘cause’ but speculations include: injections (that's right getting this thing from a medical injection) and the second way is through our environment. Nano bacteria have been linked to heart disease, atherosclerosis, kidney pathology, cancers, peripheral neuropathology and cell death. I could not shake the thought that perhaps there is a truth that we haven’t been told about injected drugs, preventative vaccines; perhaps the air we breath, the food we eat and water supplies. Nano bacteria are extremely small, needle shaped negative bacterium. They use body calcium to form a cocoon of protection while preparing to multiply. At this point, the microbial origin of nano bacteria is controversial. It could be introduced through ingesting vegetables, beef, pork, chicken or fish (any contact with the earth's soil), injections; perhaps the water we drink and air we breath. And, the treatment is viewed as a ‘scam’ by general practitioners because the company that detects the nano bacteria is also the only company offering treatment (for profit), and it takes a minimum of 6 months (or as long as it takes to kill the bacteria using neutraceudicals and tetracycline). Sadly, even after a prolonged treatment, it comes back. Could it be that the work of these early 19th century scientists resulted in a plan to cool the earth that was implemented without telling the inhabitants of the planet? Was a program designed and implemented from the early 1960s to release particles of barium, aluminum and other nasty chemicals into Earth’s atmosphere for cooling? Have particles (released by airplanes with on board aerosol injectors) to make the planet more reflective of sunlight been making humanity sick? (Search for Project Cloverleaf and read more.) Could it be that cancer, AIDS, Alzheimer's, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Morgellons, mysterious new pathogens lowering the immune system, flesh eating bacteria, nano bacteria calcium bs and other emerging diseases are the direct result of some 'save the planet treatment'? With the bees disappearing around the world and the beetles that would normally invade the empty hives filled with the abandoned honey not entering or even touching this food source, is a bacteria or fungus being 'spread' through the very air we breath in a science gone mad attempt to cool the planet? Are the bees telling a bigger truth? Could humanity and all life on Earth be enveloped in a scientific culling horror event? The truth is worthy of discovery even when it shocks you into a new reality. Never forget that it was government that told us back in the 50s that the testing of the A Bombs could not hurt people; as a matter of fact, they encouraged people to 'come watch'. Rember when you do your own research and find that Morgellons syndrome is a 'disease of the mind' or a 'delusion', 30,000 cases are recorded at the Center for Disease Control and it is thought that over a million cases go unreported because the patients are being treated for depression. And, if you are told chemtrails, nanobacteria and new diseases are nothing but conspiracy theory, this means people do not follow the 'generally accepted version' of what they hear. Don't let this make you stop in your search for the truth. It’s now your turn to take a deep breath and decide if you want to know more. You will find that some researchers believe Morgellons does come from chemtrails. There are also those who believe nano fibers, nano bacteria, nano-whatevers are a deliberate attempt to modify human genetics; and, not for the good of the human host. You will also learn that Cliff Carnicom has discovered something he calls the florescent protein or a GNA protein that is changing human DNA. Jeany

Great work jeany,
I was reading a lot on this before but you have a nice thread going here.
B.T.W. Apatite is used as a coating for many bio-mechanical applications so the body will not attack the foreign substance. Hydroxy is used too.
Very interesting the part about self recreating !! HMMMM,
Maybe a part of the intentional nano wire self assembly process.
These small nano's are able to mine from their environment the necessary elements for assembly. Apatite is a part of bone formation right ? There would be plenty of apatite for self assembly in the human body.

The bees have one positive antennae and one negative . Add magnetic bacteria or conductive polymer from the governments brain machine patent to them and their goes there navigation system. I read a Homeland Security release they says they used conductive polymer for scatter spraying areas of interest.
I believe I have the patent to explain how this is absorbed through skin contact. We know it self assembles . Now if this poop self recreates , no wonder nature is Hit. Grey Goo.
Jen
Our white blood cells form pseudo podia to reach out to PolyN-Acetyl-Glucosamine mixed in a slurry of fibers or chitin and the desired foreign cells . Our cells break open and the combination of this W.B.C. pseudo-podia along with the slurry forms a gel and is absorbed into the victim's cells.
I bet they first give foreign cells to lower the immune system.

www.answers.com/topic/apatiteThe most abundant and widespread of the phosphate minerals, crystallizing in the hexagonal system. The apatite isomorphous series of minerals occurs as grains, blebs, or short to long hexagonal prisms terminated by pyramids, dipyramids, and the basal pinacoid.The minerals are transparent to opaque, and can be asparagus-green (asparagus stone), grayish-green, greenish-yellow, gray, brown, brownish-red, and more rarely violet, pink, or colorless.
Apatites are brittle, with hardness 5 on Mohs scale, and specific gravity 3.1–3.2; they are also botryoidal, fibrous, and earthy. The material is mined for fertilizer and for the manufacture of elemental phosphorus.Jeany

Phosphorus: www.answers.com/topic/phosphorus A highly reactive, poisonous, nonmetallic element occurring naturally in phosphates, especially apatite, and existing in three allotropic forms, white (or sometimes yellow), red, and black.About three-quarters of the total phosphorus (in all of its chemical forms) used in the United States goes into fertilizers. Other important uses are as builders for detergents, nutrient supplements for animal feeds, water softeners, additives for foods and pharmaceuticals, coating agents for metal-surface treatment, additives in metallurgy, plasticizers, insecticides, and additives for petroleum products.Phosphorus extracted from rock is classified as either white, red or black. White (also called yellow or common) phosphorus is a wax-like substance created by heating phosphate rock until it vaporizes and the condensation solidifies. One of this form's characteristics has given the English language the adjective phosphorescent, from white phosphorus's capacity to glow in the dark when exposed to air. White phosphorus is a component of fertilizers, detergents and water softeners. It is also used in the manufacture of steel, plastics, insecticides, medical drugs, and animal feeds. Both white and red phosphorus are used in the making of safety matches and pesticides, including rat poison. Accidental phosphorus poisoning can happen from both fertilizers and pesticides.
Phosphates sometimes are leached into water systems through sewage and can drastically alter the chemical makeup of lakes and rivers. In sufficient quantities, they can lead to the death of nearly all forms of aquatic life. I have heard from people that a white powdery substance emerges from their skin which also numbs the fingers when touched! Jeany

Phosphine (PH3) and arsine (AsH3) are structural analogs with ammonia (NH3) and form pyramidal structures with the phosphorus or arsenic atom in the center bound to three hydrogen atoms and one lone electron pair. Both are colourless, ill-smelling, toxic compounds.
Phosphine is produced in a manner similar to the production of ammonia.
** Jo, over at MDR, sees here a relationship to Myiasis and the production of ammonia
Hydrolysis of calcium phosphide, Ca3P2, or calcium nitride, Ca3N2 produces phosphine or ammonia, respectively.
In medicine, low phosphate syndromes are caused by malnutrition, by failure to absorb phosphate, and by metabolic syndromes which draw phosphate from the blood (such as re-feeding after malnutrition) or pass too much of it into the urine.
All are characterized by hypophosphatemia (see article for medical details), which is a condition of low levels of soluble phosphate levels in the blood serum, and therefore inside cells.
Symptoms of hypophosphatemia include muscle and neurological dysfunction, and disruption of muscle and blood cells due to lack of ATP.
Too much phosphate can lead to diarrhea and calcification (hardening) of organs and soft tissue, and can interfere with the body's ability to use iron, calcium, magnesium, and zinc.
Phosphorus can reduce elemental iodine to hydroiodic acid, which is a reagent effective for reducing ephedrine or pseudoephedrine to methamphetamine.
For this reason, two allotropes of elemental phosphorus—red phosphorus and white phosphorus—were designated by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration as List I precursor chemicals under 21 CFR 1310.02 effective on November 17, 2001.
As a result, in the United States, handlers of red phosphorus or white phosphorus are subject to stringent regulatory controls pursuant to the Controlled Substances Act in order to reduce diversion of these substances for use in clandestine production of controlled substances.

Here could be the connection to radioactivity: Phosphorus and Radioactivity: Isotopes www.answers.com/topic/isotopes-of-phosphorusAlthough twenty-three isotopes of phosphorus are known[18] (all possibilities from 24P up to 46P), only 31P, with spin 1/2, is stable and is therefore present at 100% abundance. The half-integer spin and high abundance of 31P make it useful for nuclear magnetic resonance studies of biomolecules, particularly DNA. Radioactive isotopes of phosphorus include 32P; a beta-emitter (1.71 MeV) with a half-life of 14.3 days which is used routinely in life-science laboratories, primarily to produce radiolabeled DNA and RNA probes, e.g. for use in Northern blots or Southern blots. Because the high energy beta particles produced penetrate skin and corneas, and because any 32P ingested, inhaled, or absorbed is readily incorporated into bone and nucleic acids,Occupational Safety and Health Administration in the United States, and similar institutions in other developed countries require that a lab coat, disposable gloves, and safety glasses or goggles be worn when working with 32P, and that working directly over an open container be avoided in order to protect the eyes. Monitoring personal, clothing, and surface contamination is also required. In addition, due to the high energy of the beta particles, shielding this radiation with the normally used dense materials (e.g. lead), gives rise to secondary emission of X-rays via a process known as Bremsstrahlung, meaning braking radiation. Therefore shielding must be accomplished with low density materials, e.g. Plexiglas, Lucite, plastic, wood, or water. Jeany

Jeany Here's Jo's post from MDR: Jeany, Good work! These crystals named above are in the myiasis research being drafted, in the following context: Just one principle of myiasis is that acidic conditions starve larvae. They survive and thrive in alkaline conditions with a pH between 8-9, and have secretions that chemically induce alkalinity. They do this by secreting ammonia, causing wounds to become more alkaline, which is believed to inhibit bacterial growth. Production of ammonia (NH3) makes the urine more alkaline. If left untreated, the increased alkalinity can lead to the formation of crystals of struvite, calcium carbonate, and/or apatite. Once the stones develop, over time they may grow large enough to cause obstruction and renal failure. Another photo of apatite: I'm not sure whether they are the cause of some glitter type samples - werent they tannin/organophosphate on the raman graphs? It would sure explain the renal disfunction though hey! Its feels close.... Jo xxx
