Need your vegan healing story!

Hi there... I'm a vegan Integrative Medicine grad student doing my thesis on vegan nutrition & healing. If you've used vegan nutrition to improve or recover from ANY condition...would you help me by completing a quick, anonymous survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/foodismedicine. Thanks! Thanks!! And many Thanks!!!

This isn't related to the survey, but I didn't want to start a new topic about healing.

Last week I got a splinter in my leg, as it made contact with the side of a moving wooden crate. It caused a small puncture wound, which was too swollen for me to remove the splinter from (without likely causing more harm than good). So I just cleaned it with alcohol and applied some antibiotic ointment. Then a week later it started to itch, and today I was scratching it and decided to pick the scab off (I can never resist doing that). This time it turned out to be a good habit, because my splinter was pulled out along with it, since it had become connected to the scab!

There's some vegan healing for ya.
