Jim Oschman, Ph.D. ONDAMED and Energy Medicine Anti-Aging Conference - I see the repair of the wound or the defense of the body against disease as elaborate processes that cannot be understood without reference to energetics. These vital mechanisms operate automatically, usually without our conscious awareness. Defending the body against disease and rapid healing of injuries are obviously key issues in anti-aging. There are two requirements for the body to respond appropriately to damage or disease. Tissues must be able to conduct injury potentials and chemical messages from a site of injury, and tissues must allow the migration of cells to the site of the injury.
