Abstract
From the observations of different research groups reporting on reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and on a pronounced tendency for kidney stone formation, both in HIV-infected patients, and from results achieved in the treatment of severest peripheral neuropathy with lasers, it is concluded that nanobacteria (NB) could actively contribute to the reduction of BMD. A reduced BMD could primarily stem from NB, extracting calcium and phosphate from blood, affecting the calcium and phosphate homeostasis in humans.Entities:
