The human body can heal itself.

Can the body heal itself?

Sometimes, yes, sometimes no.

For example, an abrasion on the cornea of the eye can hurt a lot, but can usually heal very quickly- often in a matter of hours or days, depending on the size of the abrasion. But if something like a nail penetrates all the way through the wall of the eye and into the vitreous cavity, chances of spontaneous healing is very small. It will require surgical repair to have any hope of healing. And even with meticulous microsurgical repair, the prognosis for keeping the vision in the eye can be very guarded.
 
It definitely heals itself, even if not all the time for everything.

I'm sure at some point we will figure out how to edit the DNA and make the body much better at healing itself than it already is.

Maybe sooner than we think if AI is for real.

Seems your version of Jehovah and His Son is pretty skimpy on doing so, even for His True Believers, His True Followers...they still die like flies from many injuries and accidents.

OF course, the body can heal itself. Sometimes. That's why we have lymph nodes and white blood cells, and other good stuff built in.

Our bodies can't heal serious trauma; gun shot wounds, stabbings, cancer, diabetes, and so many other ailments on and on and on their own.

So the answer is a yes, with major limits.

What is the point of this ridiculous question? Why is it in beliefs?
 
Not only can the body heal itself but it gets completely remade every decade. The average lifespan of a human cell is only 7-10 years.

Even with intervention (repair) surgeons can't heal. They can only set it up for the body to heal itself. I think we agree on this.

Jehovah set up the human body to heal itself. This suggests that God knew that we would need it. Which further suggests that God knew man would succumb to sickness and/or injury. He planned for it.

What exactly is your point?

Like if you have a ankle fracture and you use nails to repair it… how does this gel with an argument about design?

Like as long as the fracture isn’t open it could “heal” but the bones will fuse wrong and that person will never walk quite right again.

What does any of this have to do with anything?

I think when Adam and Eve were perfect, so were their immune systems...remember Paul said Adam brought sin/death into the world and humans were no longer perfect...

I don't disagree with this, but I add to it that God knew that man would need the body to heal itself. Thus He designed it with this in "mind".

Many trauma injuries have been healed without a lot of intervention. Even a bandaid can be a form of intervention.

give him a chance.

i think he is building on to a thread concerning Divine Healing; something we can use today.

i just attended a healing and a seminar last nite on this subject. God is still in the healing business, body soul and spirit.

“Trauma injuries” don’t really cover a small cut or scrape does it?

What point are you really getting at here?
