osteoporosis (added to the list) and PTH

Presumably calcium isn't necessary as long as one's diet discourages bone resorption.

The body's pH'ing {buffering,homeostatic} systemThe mineral calcium plays a vital role in health and body pH. It is the most abundant mineral in the body and is vital to the acid/alkaline balance. When calcium levels drop, the parathyroid gland produces hormones to stimulate a chain reaction where calcium elements are then pulled from the bones. When the diet is deficient in calcium, the calcium from bone will not be replaced, resulting in eventual brittleness and spongey appearance.
