Calcified adrenal glands.

Fifteen years ago I was diagnosed with calicified adreanl glands.  At the time I was having pain in my right lower abdomen and the back above the buttocks.  The questioned tb, but ruled it out.  My liver became enlarged and contained fatty inflitrations.  I started a strict exersize and diet program and the pain went away for some time only to return for one day or two if I over did it with proteins.  Four years ago I got diagnosed with Reiters Syndrome and the doctor ordered a ct scan to see my liver because I was complaining of the same symptoms.  The ct scan showed calicfaction in both adreanl glands in addition to a mass.  The pain went away for four years untill recently,, I am having all these stomach issues and a ton of tests were ordered.  I am getting another ct scan tomorrow on the abdomen and pelvic area.  My question is... what can the mass represent in the adrenal glands.  In plain english does anybody know.

caclcification can occur becauss of too little caclcium in the diet (ie a type of mono ortho calcium is then taken from bones, but then clogs easily) or too much calcium with vit d as some believe.  others say the calcium only forms because there is not enough vitamin k to clot blood so calcium bloods the everyday leaks.  still others suggest weakened adrenals are subject to calcium buildup.

albiion magnesium in a high enough dose will de calcify anything, though it can be a laxative.  this is the best form of magnesium as it will penetrate soft tissues.  carlson makes a vitamin k in high dose 5mg.  k is said to remove and prevent calcification
