Ah! So by setting fire to myself, I can heal my burns? Or by amputing a limb, it will cause another one to grow back? Wonderful!
Whilst I do agree it's a bit odd, you're attacking the wrong problem there - the discussion is the response to diseases, not to physical trauma. Physical trauma may often lead to infection and thence diseases, but it's very much a different context.
(not that I believe in homeopathy, but still)
