The natural healing power of your body is utterly amazing, and probably beyond anything that you expected. Have you ever had children trying to help you and instead making you work twice as hard? That is often what we do to our bodies - try to help...
Vet's experience with
I read a book by a vet in which he describes how he was deeply depressed as he injected a drug to kill one of his patients that was past help. The next day the animal got up again, well on it's way to recovery. The 24 hour coma had allowed the healing power of the animal to work. So the vet tried the same trick several times as the years went by, and each time the terminal patient recovered from the poison that wasn't quite strong enough to kill it.
Alternative treatment of amputated fingers
Children often get the tips of their fingers amputated by slamming car doors. In the early 1970s there was a medical mix-up and a child had the finger cleaned and dressed, but the surgeon wasn't called in. A few days later the surgeon, Cynthia Illingworth looked at the finger and saw that it was regrowing.
It turned out that if only the tips of fingers had been damaged, the best treatment was to amputate to the second wrinkle from the joint going toward the fingertip. Fingers amputated higher than that point never regrew. By 1974 Cynthia had documented hundreds of regrown fingertips. Unfortunately it only works in children up to the age of 11 years.
Interference by surgeons to stitch back the fingertip or just to stitch the wound closed invariably caused trouble. The amputation had to be left open so that the regrowth had somewhere to go. Unfortunately most surgeons think you are crazy if you suggest the idea, so the technique will probably be lost. All it means is that the body has been allowed to cure itself.
My Experience
Over the years I've had quite a few annoying little medical problems. I visited one or two doctors, tried one or two self healing ideas, and then gave up. When I looked back on the incident a few months later I was amazed to realize that my body had done all the natural healing that I couldn't do myself, and the problem had vanished.
