Talk:Healing

Beyond repair
I thought I could help with this article but now I agree with Delldot, this page needs to be torn down and replaced with a disambiguation page. Mystery Correction (talk) 12:48, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

So do it. I agree, this page is full of total crap, particularly the section on "game healing" it has a tone that almost makes think it was vandalism. Zell65 (talk) 01:29, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

This article can still be healed. The first step should be to make a separate page for the concept of "physiological healing" (or whatever the most appropriate terminology is for the body's self-healing function.) The briefest websearch shows that to be a very minor subset of the whole realm of "healing" -- which generally and most often means something like "to do something to feel better or recover from damage or to resolve difficulties". The first paragraph sort of hints at what healing is, at least mentioning both "physical" and "psychological", but the rest has no business being in a general article on healing which is one of the first links anyone finds on google about healing.

This
This article appears to be about a narrower definition of healing than in common parlance. To me the term "healing" refers as much to psychological healing as it does to physical healing. How do you feel about that?--62.231.39.150 11:34, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)


 * Yeah, this page has a lot of problems. It's redundant with other pages.  I say we either turn this into a disambiguation page so this person can write her or his article on psychological healing, or gut it.  That way we can remove parts that are the same as other pages like the wound healing phases page.  We can put the acute tubular necrosis part into its own page; there's never a need to duplicate information on two pages.   All we need is little blurbs in each section directing readers to the respective pages.  In fact, unless anyone protests this within the next couple months, that's what I think I'm gonna do. --Delldot 16:03, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Fiction
In fiction, creatures such as Vampires can often heal very quickly!

Modern vitalism
I added a section on healing in terms of the philosophies of modern vitalism. I suspect that this may draw some more attention to this article and may be fuse that starts the cleaning up process of this article. Levine2112 02:32, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

This section is off-subject and seems to be so much embarrassingly pseudo-scientific verbiage. If this must be written, it should be elsewhere (in "Modern vitalism" whatever that may mean?). It does not pass any serious consideration. P0mbal (talk) 21:00, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Healing (magic)
Would this article be a good target for this redirect? If not then what is? If this won't be replied by tomorrow, I will redirect. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 09:49, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Game healing
This seems wrong to have along side the earlier section about biological healing - if this should exist at all maybe it should be in a different article —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.208.20.193 (talk) 14:10, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

I agree 118.208.184.222 (talk) 11:03, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

This section is off subject and therefore out of place in this article. P0mbal (talk) 20:48, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Physical healing and psychological healing
Much confusion and dispute seems to be around because of a deficiency in the English language. It's simply that the word healing is commonly used in describing (a) the natural (or assisted) repair of animal tissues and (b) sorting out of psychological trauma or mental conflict (or something similar to this - someone else may be able to better describe it). Many are the written works to be found of both (a) and (b). This article starts of well on healing type (a) and should keep to subject. For those interested to healing type (b) there should be a redirect at the start of the article. Once it is clear what this article is about, then we can scrap the "Vitalism" (whatever that means) and Game sections (or do they deserve to go in other articles?).

It is a similar situation to that with the word "energy", but that's a different subject! P0mbal (talk) 21:18, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Healing - just physical
The page clearly has the intention of being about physical healing of the body. The water keeps being muddied by intrusions from people who want to plug their own or somebody's book ideas. Can we please keep it about physical healing of the body, and people who want to inform about mind/ spiritual/"alternative healing"/ witchdoctorhealing/ homeopathy/ itsinabooksoitmustbetruehealing, etc. have their stuff on separate pages or part of other articles, and could use the disambiguation page to direct to them. By the way I do understand that mind healing is a valid subject, but this article is not the place for it. A lot of the trouble is that the word "healing" can be used to describe different things - but that is what the disambiguation page is there for! P0mbal (talk) 14:24, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Exercise and Recovery
Can information be added to the article about exercise and recovery times? How can people tell how long they need to rest after exercising to recover and heal back to their original, or better than original, fitness level? Wsmss (talk) 11:01, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

VERY wrong information removed.
Part of the entry under "regeneration" is ridiculously out dated. It had claimed that neurons and cardiac cells were "notable exceptions" to the idea of cell regeneration. However, both of those things are not true, and we have since confirmed that yes, those cells DO regenerate. The idea that they dont is little more than an urban legend. So I removed both of them.

Cardiac muscle and neurons very much DO regenerate.

Healing and Aging
Neither the healing nor the Aging articles address why it is that cuts an abrasions I experience now heal much slower than when I was a child, nor is there any mention as to what factors promote/retard healing. Josh Parris 21:45, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Healing factor
redirects to Healing, but how often are people linking to Healing factor when they actually mean the superhuman healing that some fictional characters have?

Special:WhatLinksHere/Healing_factor

i'd suggest a hatnote, but maybe Wikipedia no longer deems that particular power notable; for example, Superpower (ability) does not list healing. Still, isn't there something we can say so people who reach this article in error can know right away this article only addresses healing as understood in a non-fiction context?

Psychological healing
"In psychiatry and psychology, healing is the process by which neuroses and psychoses are resolved to the degree that the client is able to lead a normal or fulfilling existence without being overwhelmed by psychopathological phenomena. This process may involve psychotherapy, pharmaceutical treatment or alternative approaches such as traditional spiritual healing."

This seems accurate but really needs some citation; also some expansion of the concept of psychological healing is needed in a section in this page. 2600:4040:912D:BA00:44F4:FB91:508F:823 (talk) 14:30, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
