Again, he believes the body will operate well only if its organs are in proper proportion...
...epidermis consists of about five layers of cells. The cells in the deepest layers constantly reproduce, pushing older layers to the surface, where they slough off after two weeks or so. Thus while first-degree burns appear red and swollen and are painful to the touch, they usually heal on their...

Penetrating below the epidermis, second-degree burns reach into the upper layer of the dermis, a thin layer of cells 1 to 3 mm thick that contains blood vessels, nerves, hair follicles and sweat glands. This upper portion can slowly regenerate and heal if damaged. But if the burn is third degree and destroys the dermis down to fat and muscle, skin grafts are needed for effective healing...
