The liver and kidney diseases we selected to check whether micro- and nano-foreign bodies are present in the pathologic tissues were granulomatosis, sarcoidosis and cancer.In a considerable number of cases, nobody knows what triggers those diseases.In all the samples checked, we found micro- and nano-particles, and their chemistry was altogether not homogeneous. In the granulomatous tissue, the particles with a size large enough, but never larger than 20 micron, are located inside a capsule; instead, when their size decreases, they can be found within the cell and even inside the nucleus, without any trace of inflammatory tissue, which is the symptom of the biological reaction against a foreign body. It seems as though the organism reacts in a “quantic” way, according to the size of the invader. We detected different chemical compositions of the debris, some of them including many elements. Others contained but few and we could identify them as known compounds. Most combinations, mainly of metals, among the ones detected in pathological specimens are not to be found in any chemistry handbook, so one of the possible, but certainly not the sole, explanation as to their origin, is that they come from uncontrolled melting processes, for example from an incineration plant, producing new alloys.
