Symptoms of Calcification of the Pineal Gland
74Medical Logo
History
Not quite four years ago I was employed as a building controls engineer for a large lighting company. I traveled all over the USA programming, installing, starting up systems and training clients. After living in New York State for a year, I returned to California to live and work (I am California born and raised).
Not more than two months after getting back to California, I suddenly became very ill with symptoms much like Multiple Sclerosis; Numbness in hands, arms, legs and feet, heart irregularities, headaches, blurred vision, hearing loss, memory loss, uncontrollable hand and arm shaking, dizziness and much more.
I was fired from my job while on temporary disability, and without medical insurance. Prior to the insurance running out, I had every test imaginable done always with the same results; (There is nothing wrong with you).
I just yesterday finally got the local doctor to order a blood test for Lyme Disease due to my living in the countryside of New York.
Just this last month, the symptoms became worse and increasing daily. I managed to get blood tests and a CT scan done and finally after all this time have a concrete report of a physical disease that may be responsible for my symptoms.
The report states in part: "Calcification is identified in the pineal as well as the choroid plexus. There is mild prominent cisterna ". "There is a small calcific density just posterior to the fourth ventrical ".
I am currently working to get Veterans Medical Benefits set up and then be able to see a specialist or two and get further information on how serious this is and what the possible treatments and outcomes might be.
I have researched this on the internet and can find only scarce information. I am curious to know if there are many others with this or similar issues and what their outcomes are or were.

Thank you Jamie, I went and read that and have read about everything else I can find on the subject. I appreciate your input!
Hi Curiad.
1. A few thoughts came up: (Hope these help)
When You mentioned MS. I thought of my Aunt who died as a result of this. If the symptoms etc. are closely similar, you may find the info. etc. on this useful for your condition. There Is a society for MS. In UK. So there must be in US. They will advise you better than I can.
2. While dealing with renal failure, I decided that creamy foodstuffs, cheese, butter, marge, clog up arteries. A case of adding 2 and 2 together. Nor do I believe in the claims of yogurts/whatever that say they reduce cholesterol. As some chemicals can inhibit the production of other chemicals. So, for all we know the test is being blocked and as this can't be proved whose to say either way? So I just avoid them, though I've overdone it with bought sandwhiches of late as convenience. Don't feel any better for it.
Also, fewer different types and less rich diet helps because the body gets used to what it gets and isn't constantly having to adapt too much, while if less rich and/or acidic, the stomach,inside etc. doesn't need to work so hard to counter and deal with what it is getting.
3. This thought blew me away when it occurred:
Mum always said "If you don't use it you lose it.", Such as muscles weakening if you don't exercise regularly.
Now heres the Stinger. As you say about "Seat of the soul", so perhaps -PERHAPS- You may need to have a look or deeper, longer more fulfilling look and learn about your more spiritual side?
-All these are a guess, I hope they help. Please let me know. For instance The 2nd will take about 3 to 6 months minimum to see any difference. The rest I don't know enough about.
Brother You better check you Calcium , Potassium , Sodium Level .. its just a matter of low calcium .. becoz currently i am facing this desease too and tomorrow is my appointment with neuro-specialist.
Thanks Bilal, I hope the neurospecialist can help you. I have been fighting for almost five years since I first became ill to get the VA to provide me with medical care. They have been denying me all this time. I also have been turned down by medi-Cal and have no employer so no medical that way. It's been a long fight with no results. I need to see a neurologist but can not sfford that without some kind of help.
I have heard the Pineal Gland is the "seat of the soul," which I find fascinating.
I am sorry you are having these health problems. I will pray that you are comforted and healed.
Thank you James, Since I wrote this hub, I have made some small progress. The VA has agreed to send me to a hearing specialist. The loss of hearing is only one of the many symptoms I suffer from but it is a start!
Hello Curaid, I am a Pineal Gland Tumor SURVIVOR !!! I too had your symptoms and for years know one would listen to me!! The tumor some of which was calcified was 1.9 cm and that is huge!! I had it removed May 2010.. The surgery is one of the most dangerous and difficult neuro surgeries there is !!There are not many people like us and the doctors do not seem to understand us!!I wish I could talk to you by phone... Your hearing will most likely come back once they remove that in your brain, But my vision has never came back in my left eye and it feels different..Some how you must talk to me!! I wish you the best of luck with this for your going to need it!! One good thing for you is that you live in Cali where there are many good doctors!! I was not so lucky :( Try going to the Skull Base Institute in LA...I heard they are amazing Take Care.. :)
Thank you for you sharing this Bren. You are right, every doctor I have seen has dismissed my many symptoms off as stress or just say there is nothing wrong with me. I only got the MRI results showing this at the time I wrote this hub in 2011.I just hope I can get the VA to send me to a neurologist.
Dear Curiad ~ Perhaps you will find a way out of the misery of illness and when you do your story will be told. Blessings, Debby
I hope so Debby, I am constantly looking for a solution form any source I can. Thank you for reading and commenting.
Decalcify the pineal - search www.earthclinic.com
Best posts usually by "ted from Bankok"
Pay close attention to solutions that have-
sodium thiosulfate
borax
citric acid
malic acid (raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar)
water with a high silica content (fiji water)
horse tail (high in silica)
In my opinion- it seems that the back area of your brain is calcifying or more precisely (prematurely biomineralizing) and causing signal disruption.
All the above are "solvents" towards soft tissue biomineralization and may help- do your research and learn about them.
In order to stop further mineralization- one must figure out what the source is and reduce or stop intake of the problem (look at calcium supplements or the like as potential sources.)
Additionally, toning (creating audible vibrations) like the ooommmm sound in mediation and the gutteral sounds of tribal dancing. Look at various cultures that believe in "third eye" awakening. These practices can help stimulate your pineal by sound vibrations. The vibrations cause more blood flow and vibrate the surrounding tissue- ideally loosing the soft tissue mineralization.
None of these ideas are overnight cures but could potentially prove beneficial if practiced on a regular basis.
Also look up chelating- there may be solutions in that subject.
Hi "Awakening, Thank you for all the sites to research and the information.
I hope this link helps you. I came across it when I was searching things to help sleep. It helps heal the pineal gland if it has calcified.
Thank you for the URL Mim!

Curiad, I'm sorry you are having so many problems health wise. It MUST be frustrating..I had never heard of calcification of the pineal gland. I looked it up and it's interesting that call it the "third" eye in other cultures yet kinda scary.. just because it is associated with serotonin and all those type hormones. I also read somewhere that calcification is part of the normal aging process... anyway, I found a link on how to decrease or stop the calcification here:

I don't know, you may have already read it.. just thought I would throw it in here.
I do wish you the best of luck and hope things start looking up for you. Take Care!
