"Injuries (wounds, sprains, scars, post-surgical, muscle soreness) This advice applies to injuries, any kind of wound healing, and post-surgical recovery. One of the best-kept nutritional secrets about wound healing is the mineral zinc. Anywhere from 60 to 80 percent of Americans are deficient in zinc, yet zinc is the mineral that is most important for wound healing. People who have sufficient zinc heal their wounds up to 100 percent faster than those who don't. So, if you want to recover from surgery more quickly, heal sports injuries or other flesh wounds, make sure you have plenty of zinc." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"A recent study of couples showed that the stress of reliving an argument delays wound healing by at least a day.

During the first sessions, the partners held a conflict-free, constructive discussion, and the wound healing was carefully timed." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) "One eventual human target might be patients with a wound. It is known and accepted that wounds generally heal at a particular, quantifiable rate with a precise pattern.23 Any departure from the norm can be precisely measured and shown to be an experimental effect. In that instance, our aim would be to determine whether focused group intention will enable wounds to heal more quickly than usual. Naturally, you don't have to participate in our experiments." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

The fibrin coating protects cancer cells which against deadly phagocytes, killer lymphocytes, and cytokines. Naturally, cells that are compromised in this way are separated from their "community," that is, from all the other cells in the body.

"From the center of his forehead down to the bridge of his nose and across the space between his eyebrows, the wound couldn't be mistaken at such close range: It was a cross. But not just any cross. There, emblazoned upon the man's face, was an open wound that formed the perfect proportions of a Christian cross. With no bandages to cover it, it was defined by a combination of fresh and drying blood. As he passed and raised his hand in a subtle gesture of hello, I could see that his forehead wasn't the only place where his body had an injury." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"He would have feigned a wound. He might have lingered in the trenches. He might have given himself a real wound—but not a deadly one—to avoid combat. Relatively few did so—even though it was the only choice rational self-interest might have offered him. In World War I, bullet wounds to the hand became popular. "You've got a ticket home," soldiers said to their friends who were lucky enough to get shot in the hand.

"Or, let's say that we have a patient with a wound. Our intention might be: Our intention is to for Lisa's wound to heal 10 percent faster than normal. Because this is a scientific experiment, we will structure our experiment to test a precise, carefully quantified result: 10 percent faster or slower, say, or 10°F cooler than normal or than a control. Once the experiment is finished, the results will be analyzed by our scientific team—ideally by a neutral statistician as well—and then published on the website." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"I immediately went down to the cafeteria, opened a bunch of those little pepper packages, poured the wound full again, and drove myself home. My wife complained that I was stupid and unreasonable, but the entire unstitched, un-doctored, bone-deep wound healed without a scar. I have used black pepper to heal cuts ever since.

"Most patients hospitalized with heart disease or diabetes show a similar nutritional profile: they're overfed but undernourished, with remarkably low levels of quality protein and vitamins and minerals revealed in their blood work. They wound up in the hospital because their genes are trying to dispose of them. Okay, we've identified several areas of behavior (overeating, inactivity, overex-ercising, and smoking) that might trigger killer genes to go on the warpath, but how would they go about activating the destruction of the body they inhabit?" - Dr. Steven R.

"Blood vessels in the skin constrict to limit bleeding in the event of a wound. Endorphins are released in the body to blunt pain. In this scenario, biological imperatives like eating and reproduction are put on the back burner. The digestive system shuts down; the muscles used to contract the bladder relax so as not to waste glucose; and saliva stops flowing. If you've ever faced a nerve-racking public-speaking situation, you've experienced this shift in the form of a racing heart and cotton mouth. Your muscles and your brain get stiff, and you lose all hope of being flexible and engaging." - John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.)

"Abramson was in the midst of repacking his wound when Graydon said, "Remember what I told you yesterday?" Abramson replied that he did. His patient said bitterly, "Just forget it." Graydon died a year later of his prostate cancer. Abramson never understood how a harmonious marriage could fall apart so completely so late in life, until he began reading the literature on bypass surgery. Half of bypass patients over sixty-five, he learned, suffer from some form of dementia as a result of their surgery. "The reason he was fighting with his wife was he had a cognitive impairment," says Abramson. " - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) "That meant removing a half-inch-wide, two-foot-long piece of gauze from the hole in Graydon's chest and then repacking the wound, inch by inch, with a fresh length of gauze. As he worked, Abramson noticed that Graydon and his wife, a previously happy couple who had been married for decades, were now bickering constantly. "If I had to leave the room for ten seconds, they would already be in an argument when I got back," says Abramson. "One day he came in without his wife, and I'm stuffing the gauze in, and it takes concentration not to hurt him." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) "His wife, Rita, brought him to the emergency room, where Lenzer stopped the bleeding from his cut, performed a neurological exam to make sure he was not in immediate danger of brain injury, and stitched up his wound. Before discharging him, she explained to Powers and his wife why she was not giving him a CT scan. She told the couple that the neurological exam was completely normal, and she was confident he wasn't bleeding in his brain, but that didn't mean he would not develop a bleed over the next few weeks." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"The camp nurse and the doctor on call really had very little to do because I could quickly heal problems without medication using energy healing—the ability to focus BioEM energy on a wound or illness to effect healing. Most of the ailments I dealt with were simple things, but one evening I faced a truly serious situation. An eleven-year-old boy severed the tip of his finger while closing a Ping-Pong table. His family rushed him off to the hospital where doctors reattached it, but the prognosis was grim." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.)
