Human tissue samples from patients with chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, HIV neuropathy, and diabetic neuropathy show mitochondrial abnormalities.

"And it's been shown in a number of peripheral neuropathies, certainly in chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, and I think HIV that there are in human samples mitochondrial abnormalities, and the same is true in diabetes." (said at 0:18:00)

No published record matching the claim that human tissue samples across chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, HIV neuropathy, and diabetic neuropathy show mitochondrial abnormalities was located; this does not prove the claim false.
