hi thomas413!
Children, it seems, do possess the ability to regrow fingertips as
first dicovered in the Sheffield Children's Hospital (in the UK) in
1974. There is also a revolutionary technique practiced, named the
"Ilizaro" method, to "regrow" amputated fingers - I have included
contact details for the Association for the Study & Application of the
Method of Ilizarov International, below. Another technique, performed
by a team of American doctors, was used to reconstruct a person's
thumb using a template carved from sea coral. Also, it's been reported
that an adult woman was able to regrow her first joint on her right
little finger using Diapulse treatments (see below).

"...Like many discoveries, this one was made by accident. In 1974, a
child arrived at the emergency room of Sheffield Childrens Hospital
in England. A piece of farm machinery had sliced off her fingertip.
The standard procedure in such injuries is to smooth the exposed bone
and sew the skin closed, but due to a clerical mixup, the girl was not
seen by a surgeon that day. When surgeon Cynthia Illingworth caught up
with the error a few days later, she was surprised to find the
fingertip was growing back. She ordered staff not to touch it. Within
three months, the bone, cartilage, tendons, blood vessels, skin, nail,
cuticle and motor nerves had grown back as though the accident had
never occurred.
Studies have since documented more than 1,000 such cases. In fact, if
a finger is guillotined beyond the outermost joint, in a child 11
years or younger, it always grows back within 90 days..."

"The physical body is kept alive and structured by the ethereal body.
The ethereal body is often seen as a separate body, but it is actually
a template, a matrix for the physical body. The physical atoms,
molecules and cells arrange themselves according to the structure of
the ethereal body. The ethereal matrix looks like a web of energy
lines, like light fibers which attract physical matter and arrange it
into a physical body. You can say that the physical body is a
duplicate of the ethereal body. Did you know that with children, when
a piece of a finger got cut off, the entire finger will grow back
again (for some reason this ability gets lost in later years). How do
the cells know how to structure themselves in order to grow a new
finger? It is because they follow the ethereal matrix along which they
align themselves. In primitive animals, like salamanders, this ability
remains for their entire life. They will grow a new limb, or tail,
easily..."

"Surgeons in Scotland are studying a revolutionary technique to
'regrow' amputated fingers by stretching the bone. The Ilizarov method
was first developed 50 years ago in Siberia and surgeons in the west
began using it in the mid 1980s in procedures like leg lengthening.
Aberdeen Royal Infirmary's plastic surgery and orthopaedics
departments will become the first in the UK to use the technique for
hand surgery. A team of Russian specialists will arrive in Scotland in
April to train the ARI surgeons over a two-month period. Alan Reid,
communications director at Grampian University Hospitals NHS Trust,
said the technique was targeted at people with multiple finger loss
who were often unable to work because they had lost their ability to
grip. He said that for the procedure to work people would have to have
a stump and it was not possible to grow back joints or finger nails
using the method. He said it was based on stretching, with the bone
being expanded gradually at the rate of 1mm at a time. A maximum
growth of 4cm or 5cm could take about six weeks...."

"In my twenty-five years of treating patients with Diapulse, the
amazing and most impossible disease processes have become the expected
cures. The most difficult cases become easy help and manage with its
special therapeutic treatment procedure. Each time I witnessed some,
seemingly incurable problem, watching it heal is like personally
experiencing another "Miracle" health cure. Broken bones that normally
take many months to years to routinely heal themselves, heal within
days. And in follow-up examinations, x-rays clearly show the bone
structure to have undergone "Plastic Regeneration" not aplastic
deformation. That is to say very little to no scar tissue forms. I
even know of a research file about a lady in England who lost the
first joint on her right hand pinkie finger. Following an experimental
treatment protocol procedure with Diapulse the missing part grew
back..."

"...The American team which three years ago grew a human ear on the
back of mouse, made another breakthrough by re-growing a man's lost
thumb. The new technique was pioneered by doctors from the University
of Massachusetts led by Dr Charles Vacanti. Worker Raul Murcia lost
his thumb in a factory accident. The thumb bone was crushed beyond
repair, but the surrounding skin was still usable. The medical team
were able to grow a new thumb bone, by using a template carved from
sea coral. The sea coral served as a frame for the bone regrowth,
which would then dissolve once the bone matures. The team was then
able to use Mr Murcia's own skin to cover the regrowth. Once Mr
Murcia's thumb has completely healed, the doctors will begin work on
rebuilding the thumb joint and the connecting cartilage so that it
will function fully. Dr Vacanti, the team leader, believes that within
three decades this technique will be common practice for the growth of
organs such as liver or kidney..."

"...In the end Murcia got a new thumb-tip, but Chuck was not allowed
to attach cartilage or tendons to it. In a paper published in May 2001
in The New England Journal of Medicine, Chuck and his colleagues
report the case, including the happy results of Murcia's recent
biopsy: Much of the coral still exists, but its pores have filled in
with Murcia's own cells. More surprising, the new cells are
intelligently transforming the coral, remodeling it to look more like
a human thumb bone..."
