Pineal gland

Function
The Pineal gland is an important part of the endocrine system and is responsible for release of Melatonin and pinoline.

Calcification
Calcification of the pineal gland is typical in adults.

Is there a bacterial link to calcification of the pineal gland?

I find evidence of a possible link between Calciphylaxis ( a syndrome of vascular calcification) and Nanobacteria. "The electron microscopy of the thrombotic vegetation demonstrated nanobacterium as a nidus for carbonate apatite formation. Investigation for the presence of nanobacteria in the multiple organs involved in systemic calciphylaxis may be of help in elucidating the pathogenesis of this frequently fatal disorder."

If we can find a link between bacteria and the slow calcification of organs we may be able to intervene.

" N. sanguineum can be cultured from kidney stones, calcified arteries, and polycystic kidney tissue (which involves pathological calcification), and its antigen has been detected in dental pulp stones and calcified pineal tissue" http://www.heartfixer.com/Nanobacterium/NB%20-%20Literature%20Review/Pathological_calcification.htm
