Calcium phosphate crystal can aggregate and clump together into snowlike balls throughout the body. A good source for information can be found at http://ww3.komotv.com/global/story.asp?s=1230778

Gaul stones are calcium deposits . They can be caused by many ways here is how I got mine : STRESS and unhealthy eating . To much protine in my diet . I had 102 removed and my gaul bladder taken out since I had a massive attack . Mine was actually infected and started to rip causeing me to become very ill . It was just 1 week after my father had passed away . Stress and diet are importaint to manage .

Calcium\nCalcium is one of the most important minerals for the growth, maintenance, and reproduction of the human body. Calcium is essential for the formation of and maintenance of healthy teeth and bones.\n\nThe bones incorporate calcium into their structure. Like other tissues in the body, bones are continually being reabsorbed and re-formed. Teeth incorporate calcium in their structure in a manner similar to bones.\n\nCalcium has other functions in addition to maintaining healthy teeth and bones. Blood coagulation, transmission of nerve impulses, muscle contraction and relaxation, normal heartbeat, stimulation of hormone secretion, activation of enzyme reactions, as well as other functions all require small amounts of calcium.\nPhosphorous\nThe main function of phosphorus is in the formation of bones and teeth. It plays an important role in the body's utilization of carbohydrates and fats and in the synthesis of protein for the growth, maintenance, and repair of cells and tissues. It is also crucial for the production of ATP, a molecule the body uses to store energy.\n\nPhosphorus works with the B vitamins. It also assists in the contraction of muscles, in the functioning of kidneys, in maintaining the regularity of the heartbeat, and in nerve conduction.\nNitrogen\n79% of the air around us is nitrogen . Living things need nitrogen to make proteins, but they cannot get it directly from the air because nitrogen gas is too stable to react inside an organism to make new compounds. \n\nSo nitrogen must be changed into a more reactive form to allow plants and animals to use it. Plants can take up and use nitrogen when it is in the form of nitrates or ammonium salts. Changing nitrogen into a more reactive substance is called nitrogen fixation. \n\nNitrogen fixation happens in three different ways:\n\nThe energy in a lightning bolt can split the di-atomic nitrogen molecule in the air allowing each nitrogen atom to react with oxygen to form nitrogen oxides. These oxides are washed to the ground by the rain where they form nitrates.\n\n\nThe Haber process is used by industry to produce ammonia from nitrogen. Ammonia is used to make fertiliser for farmers to feed their crops.\n\n\nNitrogen-fixing bacteria found in the soil and in the root nodules of leguminous plants fix nitrogen into a usable form.\n\n\nNitrogen compounds are returned to the soil by excretion and egestion from animals or when plants and animals die and decay. The nitrogen compounds returned in this way are changed back to nitrogen gas by denitrifying bacteria which live in the soil - thus completing the cycle.

Alveoli - Each bronchiole ends in a tiny air chamber that looks like a bunch of grapes.  Each chamber contains many cup-shaped cavities known as alveoli.  The walls of the alveoli, which are only about one cell thick, are the respiratory surface.  They are thin, moist, and are surrounded by several numbers of capillaries.  The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between blood and air occurs through these walls.  The estimation is that lungs contain about 300 million alveoli. Their total surface area would be about 70 square meters.  That is 40 times the surface area of the skin.  \n\nFUNCTIONThe alveoli allow this gas exchange to occur. Each alveoli has a network of capillaries that carry oxygen-poor red blood cells. The capillaries bring the red blood cells very close to the air space in the alveoli. The air in the alveoli is oxygen rich. Oxygen moves from the alveolar space into the red blood cell by diffusion. This can happen very quickly because the surface are of the alveoli is large and the membranes separating the lungs from the red blood cells are very thin. The rate of oxygen diffusion is dependent on surface area, so gas exchange occurs more quickly with larger surface areas.

Amyloid deposits can be found commonly in hearts during autopsy examination. The incidence increases with advanced age (mostly in patients over 60 years of age).                 Myeloma -associated (primary) amyloidosis :  Cardiac involvement occurs in approximately 90% of cases of myeloma-associated (primary) amyloidosis. \nThis form of amyloidosis occurs in association with multiple myeloma but may also occur in the absence associated disease. \nAmyloid deposits are most likely to involve the spleen, kidneys, liver, and adrenal glands. \nSecondary amyloidosis :  Cardiac involvement also occurs in about 55% patients with amyloidosis associated with chronic illness (secondary amyloidosis) such as rheumatoid arthritis, tuberculosis, osteomyelitis, bronchiectasis, or lymphoma. \nIn this type of amyloidosis the major deposits occur in the tongue, gastrointestinal tract, lungs, skeletal muscles, skin and other mesodermal tissues and organs in addition to the heart.\nRef:1) Amyloidosis and the heart: a comprehensive review.Arch Intern Med. 2006 Sep 25;166(17):1805-13\n2) Cardiac pathology of extracardiac origin (II).

CaF2 is calcium fluoride. Sorry I messed up before.

It can indicate a few different things, but you need to talk with a doctor.  The answer depends on the context and you probably need other diagnostic tests performed and interpreted by a medical professional to really figure out what is going on.  One common finding is calcium deposits in mammograms, which can be markers for abnormal cell growth ranging from harmless benign tumors to cancerous growth that requires immediate treatment.  But don't guess or sit here on Answers worrying... go find out from the experts.

well, when  you eat calcium as a supplement, such as a vitamin and you dont have enough water to completely disolve it, then some calcium reasdue will build up in your kidneys

This is a little I know about it......\n\nSarcoidosis is an immune system disorder characterised by non-necrotising granulomas (small inflammatory nodules). Virtually any organ can be affected, however, granulomas most often appear in the lungs (D860) or the lymph nodes (D861). Symptoms can occasionally appear suddenly but more often than not appear gradually. When viewing X-rays of the lungs, sarcoidosis can have the appearance of tuberculosis or lymphoma.

I suspect that the calcium in hard water becomes kidney stones. Buy a calciun suppliment if you need more.
