Regrow your spinal cord with asparagus

Biophysicist Andrew Pelling uses Fruits and vegetables to repair human tissues.

The Smithsonian has an in-depth story that only the Smithsonian Magazine does.

Pretty cool stuff, I remember the doctor suggested I may need leeches to improve the blood flow to my re-attached my opposable digit but Iwas a poor candidate as it was too mangled

This could probably be used for a variety of issues looks like Evander may get a new ear for example. As an amputee and burn patient Id imagine it could possibly be used to grow tissue for burn victims even though they have had great success with using fish skin and it greatly reduces the buildup of keloid tissues and thus scarring.

This could potentially help Spinal Bifida children for instance. But when we talk of tissue could it not be used potentially for heart or brain damage or even cosmetic surguries

Inside the Innovative Lab Growing Mammal Tissue Using Plants as Scaffolds
Researchers at the University of Ottawa have used apple flesh to create human tissue in the shape of an ear and asparagus stalks to regenerate spinal cords.

We are interested in understanding the fundamental mechanisms through which cells sense and integrate physical information. We do this by building devices that employ nano- and micro-scale fingers, lasers, matrices and textures to literally poke, feel, stretch and confine cells while we watch how they respond.

On the other hand, we are also interested in how we might use such physical stimuli to manipulate, re-purpose and control living cells. Physical inputs might include exposing cells to mechanical forces, controlling the shape of their surroundings or simply growing cells in environments in which they are not normally found.

None of these approaches require genetic manipulation or pharmaceuticals; we simply change the physical environment to direct cellular behaviors. We have found that living cells are surprisingly adaptable to a wide variety of environments and physical stimuli that they have not evolved to cope with. This raises numerous questions about how cells are able to deal with such extremes.

I don't see any Links for this???

Would these be what you are talking about???

It’s interesting how many of these plants resemble the organ that they are best for.

Walnut looks like a brain.
Celery looks like a bone.
Ginger looks like a stomach.

And more.

No I think I erased it after I couldn't get the link to work apologizes LOL

its a cool subject. Imagine using a 3d printer to use plant cells Here's the Ted Talk link.

Good post, there is another plant that I currently can not remember but its fruit looks like an eye and it's nutrients very good for eyesight.

Sounds like a kiwi fruit

It's Euphrasia, I looked it up and have to correct myself, it's the flower, not the fruit.

Old-time medicine called it the "Doctrine of signatures" like if you take Kidney beans for kidney complaints etc.

I'm always looking for herbal remedies, never even heard of this before but it sounds like it's good for your eyes and other issues too

It's called "Augentrost" here, like "eye solace".

It's good to start a little book, there are so much remedies around, just need to grab and use them. And thank nature for providing

LOL on the avocado

I’m going to try the asparagus. I’ll take stinky pee over my back pain any day.

I’ll catch up on all of the info after work. Thanks for the link!

LOL I'm not sure how that works but I'm buying loads of bananas anyway

" If you can dream it, you can do it."

I have no idea whom I'm quoting, but science has been dreaming of 'growing' replacement organs for a long time now.
The advancements in science just in the last few decades is amazing, fascinating and....a little bit frightening.

Just the spine or all nerve damage? Numbness in feet from standing all day?

That's a good question Ive got a tad bit of neuropathy in my feet as well, but I'd imagine if the cause is nerve damage they could eventually get around to that, but I'd think it's likely 10 years down the road, or even further.
