Peripheral neuropathy and light-preliminary report indicating prevalence of nanobacteria in HIV.
Peripheral neuropathy is a common condition in HIV-positive patients and is often experienced in diabetes mellitus. The primary mechanism of the disease, which can considerably aggravate the patient's state, is unknown. The perineurium of patients with peripheral neuropathy is frequently enveloped by apatite. Nanobacteria (NB) are protectd by a mineral shell consisting of apatite. Light has been shown to elevate the vitality level of cells, and was predicted to inhibit deposition of stressed NB in the cardiovascular system. Results indicate that light can durably restore the condition of patients with severe peripheral neuropathy.
