Shark Done Ate My Homework

I just stacked on the topic of Lyme and cancer based on a couple of papers, one of which implicated oxalates as a causative agent for cancer.

Given that I had only been up for a couple hours with not breakfast and was motivated to get some thought provoking content out there, I completely missed the very opening of the paper that should have been my first clue.

Sure, we’re all about the Unkillable Spirochete but there’s another Wee Bastardo in the mix that also resists extinction:
Bartonella aka Cat Scratch Fever.

It can get into red blood cells and hide out. It can get into progenitor cells in the bone marrow and make copies of itself once a day.

Like its nanobacteria cousins: Brucella, and Agrobacterium (used in genetic engineering plants), it LOVES to make calcium armor and biofilms.

I was thinking of making a Bio Film one day:
Patrick Jordan was born at an early age. He grew up as a Farm Boy and worked hard to graduate as a Dumb Farm Boy going on to obscurity and infamy…

oh… not THAT kind of film?

Here’s the quote that got me to Stack and Stack again.

Oxalate induces breast cancer
Abstract
Background: Microcalcifications can be the early and only presenting sign of breast cancer.

Any Whey, this gives us new insight into what the CAUSE of the cancer in breast cancer might be. Calcifications.

So what we are forced to consider is:

• Are there encysted nanobacteria in the breast tissue?

• if so, then how could the nanobacteria influence the surrounding tissue if they are walled off?

• can toxins leach out of the calcium shells?

• could those be ONLY the cell wall competent form, so that a cell wall deficient form that is not calcified is the causative agent?

• if calcium is bound up is it as elemental calcium? or is it a calcium oxalate crystal? the paper claims it is CaOX.

• if it is the Ninja Knife oxalate crystals then what effects to chronic physical damage do to tissue to induce a cancerous state? Albert Szent Gyorgyi said that cancer was an old folks disease that came on after decades of chronic inflammation

• does it need to be just one bug? The Lyme constellation include 25 organisms. So what influence does calcium and/or oxalates have on the other bugs?

• If the shells are ONLY calcium but not calcium oxalate (poor writing on their part) then what happens to the free oxalic acid?

• could oxalic acid be a KREBS cycle killer in the mitochondria?

Correlation is not causation. Just because a bunch of labcoats juiced up a bunch of mice with some bathroom scrubber doesn’t mean that it wasn’t a calcium oxalate eating bugger that was at the heart of the cancer initiation.
