Warfarin and systemic calcification?

[Agian]

Coronary heart disease (CHD) event rates in secondary prevention
trials (5 years in duration except the PROVE-IT study, which was 2
years) were directly proportional to low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol
levels. The event rate is predicted to approach 0 at LDL of 30 mg/dl
(8–12).

had not heard of it before, and the "New Idea" nature of that site instantly prompted me to highlight the species name and right click and google it.

First two links that caught my eye:

Is NB a new life-form in search of human ailment or a commensal organism?

Recognizing the presence of NB in the human body, we discuss clinical trials, reported in the literature relevant to its eradication, with a rectal suppository containing very high amounts of disodium EDTA and tetracycline.

We suggest that tetracycline in this formulation acted in combination with EDTA, more as a chelating agent than an antibiotic; oxytetracycline- a non-chelating form of tetracycline-does not inhibit or kill NB. Evaluation of anti-NB effect of orally administrable and potentially safer as well as therapeutically more acceptable chelating agent -ascorbic acid, acting alone or in combination with antibiotics-that eradicates another slime forming bacterium - Pseudomonas aeruginosa - in children with cystic fibrosis, is suggested.

so before you rush out and get that rectal suppository ...

Research tends to agree that these structures exist, and appear to replicate in some way.[SUP][7][/SUP] However, the idea that they are living entities has now largely been discarded, and the particles are instead thought to be nonliving crystallizations of minerals and organic molecules.[SUP][8][/SUP]
