The relationship of physical and chemical processes in bone and blood formation

An hypothesis is presented describing the relationship between the chemical and physical processes involved in the formation bone and blood. It is also advanced that blood cells are normal cells which have been disrupted by these processes and are therefore unstable and subject to disintegration. On...

Summary:An hypothesis is presented describing the relationship between the chemical and physical processes involved in the formation bone and blood. It is also advanced that blood cells are normal cells which have been disrupted by these processes and are therefore unstable and subject to disintegration. On the basis of the hypothesis conclusions are drawn concerning the connections between bone and blood formation and particular medical conditions. Possible means of relieving these conditions are advanced.
