'''Healing''', assessed spiritually, emotionally, mentally or otherwise, is a process which involves more than just the action of cells. According to the Bible, Abraham, the father of Judaism, Islam and Christianity, healed a man named Abimelech, his wives and his maidservants throught prayer. The words heal, healed, and healing occur 132 times in the King James Version (KJV) of the Holy [[Bible]]. The [[Qur'an]] and the [[Torah]] also refer to the power of God to heal, as do the scriptures of other [[faith]] traditions. There are also non-believers who hold that healing is the result or more than just the action of cells on their own, and may be the result of thought, energy, etc. Those who believe in healing through more than purely physical means don't generally use the term faith healing in reference to the practice, but some information about it's advantages and criticisms may be found at the link below.

==Healing by regeneration==

==Healing by regeneration==

In order for an injury to be healed by regeneration, the cell type that was destroyed must be able to replicate. Most cells have this ability, although it is believed that cardiac muscle cells and [[neuron]]s are two important exceptions.

==Healing and modern vitalism==

==Healing and modern vitalism==

A distinction can be drawn between the "classical [[vitalism]]" and a "modern vitalism" that can be accommodated by conventional biomedical science and the body's ability to heal itself. This modern vitalism is best described by the phrase ''[[vis medicatrix naturae]]'' – the healing power of nature. Nature, or more specifically, the body's natural healing mechanisms, is the principal mechanism by which any healing process occurs. Without these natural mechanisms (our immune system, our wound healing capacity, and countless other regulatory and corrective systems), life itself is barely possible. Some healing practices have taken to naming these natural mechanisms. [[Chiropractic]] often uses the term innate intelligence to describe the body's inborn ability to heal itself.[http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1185558 available online]

==Healing in games==

==Healing in games==

Other forms of healing in games exist, and the aforementioned example seems to apply only to a specific genre. Health packs, or First Aid packs are used more generally in games to heal characters. Health packs can come in many different forms- syringes, icons or briefcases. Games differ in the way in which health is added to the character: some games require only the character to walk over a health icon to heal; other games require the character to physically administer the health pack contents to themselves (this is usually achieved by choosing a health pack from an [[inventory]] and selecting it).

Many features of [[human]] life afford abundant [[evidence]] that the [[phenomenon]] of [[mortal]] [[existence]] was intelligently planned, that organic [[evolution]] is not a mere [[cosmic]] accident. When a living cell is injured, it possesses the ability to elaborate certain [[chemical]] substances which are empowered so to stimulate and activate the neighboring normal cells that they immediately begin the secretion of certain substances which facilitate healing [[process]]es in the wound; and at the same time these normal and uninjured cells begin to proliferate--they actually start to work creating new cells to replace any fellow cells which may have been destroyed by the accident. This chemical [[action]] and reaction concerned in wound healing and cell reproduction represents the choice of the [[Life Carriers]] of a [[formula]] embracing over one hundred thousand phases and features of possible chemical reactions and biologic repercussions. More than half a million specific [[experiment]]s were made by the Life Carriers in their laboratories before they finally settled upon this formula for the [[Urantia]] life experiment. When Urantia scientists know more of these healing chemicals, they will become more efficient in the treatment of injuries, and indirectly they will know more about controlling certain serious diseases.[http://urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper65.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/paper65.html&line=100#mfs]
