The Body's Innate Healing Abilities

The body possesses innate powers to heal many chronic health issues, with examples of spontaneous recovery from diseases like cancer, heart disease, and multiple sclerosis. The body constantly works to heal itself through processes such as white blood cells combating infections and new cells forming to repair tissue. Spontaneous recoveries occur when individuals are unexpectedly cured without medical intervention. Though only a small fraction of people experience spontaneous recovery, there are documented cases in the medical literature. This highlights the body's capacity for healing beyond the limits of modern medicine.
