I only eat cheese and peanut butter and I'm healthy as an ox!


So... lizards increase the level of hydrogen peroxide when regenerating a tail? I... need to say I don't quite see why this would be a good idea for humans...


I think...not sure...but I think a similar method is used for PRP and prolotherapy. When I had my shoulder treated they injected what I believe was ozone to irritate the area before they inject platelets(when doing PRP).

It helped stimulate healing.

I believe the principle is, free radicals induce an immune/healing response. It probably stimulates a regeneration response in tadpoles.

Who cares about humans! I've been missing a chunk of my tail for 500 years!

But really, Linus Pauling did some amazing work about the benefits of vitamin C that you puny humans could really benefit from. It benefits everyone involved, a healthy human is a tasty human.

I do like there to be actual food in my food.

Sometimes though, the proper combination of artificial chemicals is quite tempting.

The next time I cut myself, I'll just drink some hydrogen peroxide.

Hey, I have a bottle of hydrogen peroxide in a drawer in my bathroom to apply when I cut myself. I apply it extrenally, however.

In humans, no. Humans regenerate by increasing their levels of Mentos and Coke. {begins applying for research grant}

Regenerating tails or increasing hydrogen peroxide levels?

Who wouldn't want a tail?


Lots of men like getting some tail, apparently.
