"BURN/WOUND-HEALING: Russian scientists have found that the antioxidants and natural enzymes in papaya can accelerate the healing of burns and wounds. Rats treated with papaya-based medicine had wounds that were half the size of those not given the treatment. DECREASED RISK OF AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION: Phytochemicals such as lutein, cryptoxanthin, and zeaxanthin, present in papaya, may help maintain better eyesight longer in older people. Tips on Using Papaya SELECTION AND STORAGE: • Papayas that are hard and green are immature and will never properly ripen." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life!

"What is more, among the more hostile couples, the wounds healed at only 60 percent the rate of the more compatible pairs. Examination of the fluids in the wounds found different levels of a chemical called interleukin-6 (IL-6), a cytokine and key chemical in the immune system. Among the hostile couples, the levels of interleukin-6 were too low initially and then too high immediately after an argument, suggesting that their immune systems had been overwhelmed.34 The person sending out an intention might also need to be sent good intentions." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"In an ingenious study by Ohio State University College of Medicine, the researchers gathered together 42 married couples and inflicted small wounds with a tiny puncture device on one partner of each pair. During the first sessions, the partners held a conflict-free, constructive discussion, and the wound healing was carefully timed. Several months later, the researchers repeated the injury, but this time allowed the partners to raise an ongoing contentious issue, such as money or in-laws. This time, the wounds took a day longer to heal." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"Known to increase immune function, enhance white blood cell production, act as an antiviral, support cardiovascular health, regulate cholesterol levels, speed healing of wounds and broken bones, prevent osteoporosis, and even help with diabetes and allergies, vitamin C has also been shown to protect the body from cancer, as well as help it to heal from cancer, and to prolong the life of those with cancer. In 1928, Hungarian biochemist Albert Szent-Gyorgyi first isolated vitamin C. Since then, massive amounts of research have been conducted on vitamin C's health-giving abilities." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) "Used to control infection and prevent spoilage, purify water and blood, for heart conditions and bad breath, and to heal wounds, silver appears to strengthen the immune system and act as an antimicrobial to fight bacteria, fungi, and viruses. An 1869 major discovery about the "oligodynamic effect" of silver revealed even more about its healing potential. The Swiss botanist, Karl Wilhelm von Nageli, found that silver was even more active in minute concentrations." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"He is the one who aDDears and Doints to the macnr shinincr swnrH that will kill the dragon-terror, tells of the waiting bride and the castle of many treasures, applies healing balm to the almost fatal wounds, and finally dismisses the conqueror, back into the world of normal life, following the great adventure into the enchanted night." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.)

"For the ancients, gods and demigods could cause and cure diseases and wounds. Healing gods were enshrined in special temples open to all who were ill and suffering. Physicians were itinerant craftsmen, ministering and operating in the homes of those who could pay their fee. Mythology began to give way to scientific medicine thanks to Hippocrates, who was born on the island of Cos about 460 bce." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"She underwent repeated skin grafts, and her caregivers took pains to keep her wounds as sterile as possible. Within two weeks, the toddler was well enough to be moved from intensive care to a "step-down unit," a sort of halfway house for patients who are ready to leave the ICU but not quite well enough for the regular wards. Sorrel King, who had spent much of the time at her daughter's side, confided to Paidas that she was worried about the move. None of the nurses were familiar, she told him. Was Josie really ready? Paidas reassured King that her daughter was practically healed." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) "Unlike previous generations, a vast majority of us live long, active lives, free from childhood disease, infected wounds, and fatal childbirth, the killers that were responsible for the majority of deaths until the middle of the last century. Yet we don't see ourselves as being exceptionally healthy—we think of ourselves as sick. We obsess over our latest cholesterol reading, bone density, body mass index." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) "The discovery of penicillin meant that by the 1940s patients no longer had to die from infected wounds or a burst appendix, and that abdominal surgery no longer had to be a life-threatening ordeal. The discovery of high-blood-pressure medication prevented strokes, while cortisone transformed the treatment of several illnesses, including Addison's disease, the disorder that afflicted President John F. Kennedy. Without regular cortisone shots, Kennedy would never have been able to serve as president." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"They break open again the old wounds, and let it flow." It symbolizes at once the menstrual blood of the vagina and the semen of the male, as well as urine, water, and male milk. The flowing shows that the old men have the source of life and nourishment within themselves;100 i.e., that they and the inexhaustible world fountain are the same.101 The call of the Great Father Snake was alarming to the child; the mother was protection. But the father came. He was the guide and initiator into the mysteries of the unknown." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.)

"He inflicted multiple wounds on her body with the lightweight hammer. Starting early in the 1990s, I noticed that Prozac was causing especially violent acts of aggression and suicide. In 1994, researchers from Johns Hopkins reviewed all the deaths recorded by the Maryland medical examiner over a four-and-a-half-year period to locate cases of suicide where either Prozac or an older antidepressant had been detected in the blood." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"Grad moved on to mice, who'd been given skin wounds in the laboratory. After controlling for a number of factors, even the effect of warm hands, he found that the skin of his test mice healed far more quickly when healers had treated them.6 Grad also showed that healers could reduce the growth of cancerous tumors in laboratory animals. Animals with tumors which were not healed died more quickly? Other animal studies have shown that amyloidosis, tumors and laboratory-induced goiter could be healed in laboratory animals." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"We just carried on, folding our wounds into the tapestry of our lives, each trying to make sense of the tragedy alone. "Don't Tell. Don't Feel. Don't Share." My history has shaped me deeply. Because of my father's alcoholic behavior I learned to pay close attention to the interpersonal dynamics around me. I learned to immediately "read" the emotional temperature of almost any situation. I learned to grow up early, become a high achiever, be the hero in my family. Most of all, I learned the inviolable rules of an alcoholic family: "Don't tell. Don't feel. Don't share." - Kathleen DesMaisons, Potatoes Not Prozac: Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity (Get the book.)

"That very night, the glass came out of her head, just naturally, the wounds healed up, she was back in school in a few days. When I see cures that defy any known laws of physics or medicine, and I've seen many, it's obvious that matter isn't the solid substance it appears to be. Something is going on that isn't explained by the laws of physics or modern medicine. So our laws of physical science, which we're so proud of in our modern civilization, have overlooked something very significant." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)

"I now know the spirit of Calendula can heal wounds in the energy body as well. I have grown calendula in my garden every year and it is one of the most generous of all the flowers, blooming and blooming throughout the season and this year even into November. As a matter of fact, its name was derived from the Latin "calends" meaning the first day of the month because, in the warmer climate where it originates, it blooms every calendar month of the year." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"When that happens, your body sends lousy LDL cholesterol (remember it by its first initial) to those damaged areas in an attempt to heal the wounds. Your immune cells in the damaged area swallow up the LDL cholesterol and burrow into the inner layer of your arteries. Your body then reacts to the wounds and the cholesterol with a low-grade inflammation. Makes sense: Inflammation is how your immune system deals with many problems, like splinters, unwanted bacteria, insect venom, or other foreign invaders." - Mehmet C. Oz., M.D. and Michael F. Roizen, M.D., You: Staying Young: The Owner's Manual for Extending Your Warranty (Get the book.)

"John's wort is excellent both for physical wounds and ones in the energetic body. A strong signature of St. John's wort is perforations on the leaves and the bloodlike color exuded from the plant. This indicates it would be useful for perforations of the skin from which blood flows and for holes in our energy body from where life force drains. The flowers make beautiful rich red oil when soaked in olive or almond oil and can be used to transfer the wound-healing gifts of this powerful plant. (See color plate 12." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"Neomycin is mainly used topically in the treatment of skin and mucous membrane infections, wounds, and burns. Although it is also used systemically, it is highly toxic. http://reference.allrefer.eom/encyclopedia/N/neomycin.html 129 Chloramphenicol is used in the treatment of infections caused by bacteria. It works by killing bacteria or preventing their growth, http://health.yahoo.com/health/ drug/202127/ of red blood cells and cause irreversible, potentially fatal, bone-marrow depression." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.) "That some doctors cause bleeding surgical wounds, infected brains in animals, or slice their eyes out with scalpels, to prove whatever? No. Do we talk about doping; that horses get doped today so that they show higher performances on the racetrack?293 No. We are speaking about the over-medication and systematic medication of our beloved dogs and cats. Steroids and all sorts of medication are given more and more. Meanwhile there even exists Prozac for our animals. Why? A big, new, target market. And so we could go on and on. Goldmines wherever the eye looks." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)

"He was a crude and sloppy surgeon, by any medical standard, possibly deliberately so, sewing up wounds with a simple stitch ?a perfect recipe for brain infection in larger mammals -but no cruder than most brain researchers of the day. After all, none of Ivan Pavlov's dogs survived his brain surgery, all succumbing to brain abscesses or epilepsy.1 Lashley sought to deactivate certain portions of his rats' brains to find which part held the precious key to specific memories. To accomplish this delicate task he chose as his surgical instrument his wife's curling iron ?a curling iron! ?" - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"Horsetail, an herbal remedy dating back to at least ancient Roman and Greek medicine, was used traditionally to stop bleeding, heal ulcers and wounds, and treat tuberculosis and kidney problems. Today, horsetail continues to have medicinal value. The plant's stems are rich in silica and silicic acids, which help mend broken bones and form collagen, an important protein found in connective tissue, skin, bone, cartilage and ligaments. Horsetail is also used to treat infections of the urinary tract, kidney and bladder stones, and as topical therapy for burns and wounds." - Jan Lovejoy, Get Balanced-the Natural Way to Better Health with Superfoods (Get the book.)

"It serves as a digestive tonic as well as an astringent, which stems all manner of excessive bleeding and aids in the healing of wounds. It makes an excellent gargle for sore throat and inflamed gums. One of the reasons Agrimony is such a wonderful healing herb is its unique ability to relieve tension in all of its many guises whether it be in the gut, reproductive organs, during respiration, in a constricted liver or kidney, or the nervous system. A person who is uptight but hides behind a cheerful facade could benefit from Agrimony." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"In the Revolutionary War (1775-1783) an estimated 42% of all war wounds were lethal, a number that declined to 33% for the Civil War and only to 30% for World War II. In the current war (at this writing in 2005) in Iraq and Afghanistan, that figure has dropped to only 10%. "Though firepower has increased, lethality has decreased,"27 claim the authors. This is undoubtedly true for the long course of history." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"Zinc aids in immunity and is required for healing of wounds. It aids in the absorption of vitamin A and E. Zinc is not a water soluble vitamin, which means it is not excreted in the urine if too much is taken. Typical dosage of zinc ranges from 15 to 50 mgs per day. HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR CELIAC DISEASE There are many homeopathic remedies that suit the symptoms of celiac disease. Some of the more common remedies are listed with their indications here. For more information on how to self prescribe a homeopathic remedy, go to Chapter Two." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"The AMA sought to restore the credibility of the 'regular' profession partly by closing the wounds caused by competition between orthodox practitioners. It regulated minimum fees, barred consultation with irregulars, and banned grubby advertising. However, the Association faced a long and uphill struggle." - Roberta Bivins, Alternative Medicine?: A History (Get the book.) "Established methods of phlebotomy (the medical term for bleeding), like venesection (opening a vein with a lancet), leeching, cupping, and scarification (applying a spring-loaded fixed array of blades to the body, thus swiftly making a number of shallow wounds) released large amounts of blood in a short space of time, producing striking changes in the appearance and state of the patient. These changes were predictable and readily explained within the humoural and physiological models of the body shared by both practitioners and patients." - Roberta Bivins, Alternative Medicine?: A History (Get the book.)

"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. Sprains The important thing to note about sprains is that the swelling that follows sprains is your body's natural attempt to initiate a healing process. If you take anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce the swelling, you are directly interfering with the healing process of your sprain. This is another case where promoters of conventional medicine are completely wrong." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)
