Regrowth

     As an Acupuncturist, I get to go to work and see miracles everyday. One of the most amazing things I saw, in my practice, was a case where a man chopped off the end of his finger. It was gone from just above the joint up. At the hospital they were able to reattach about a 1/4 of an inch. But the part that had been sewn back on had turned black. "The entire finger will have to be removed.", he was told.

    That was when he came to see me. We did Acupuncture every other day and the color returned. "Well, we guess you get to keep the finger." he was informed. "But, you won't have feeling in the tip for over a year." In a month he had feeling in the tip. Then the bone started growing so fast, they had to do an operation to cover it with skin. "Well, that is weird." they said, "But the nail will never grow back." The nail grew back. 

      Now you would have to look closely to see that the finger is any different from the one on the other hand. 

      A year later he came in to see me. "The finger is great," he informed me, "except when I am out fishing, and it gets really cold, then it hurts." A few treatments, and an Chinese Herbal formula later, and he was comfortably fishing again.

      It never ceases to amaze me what the body can do to heal, when just given the right tools.
