The scar tissue beneath the skin wasn't proliferating continuously; it remained at a low level, with healing and breakdown rates maintaining a steady balance. The experts marveled at it.
Although the two Flower of Life petals had been chewed and their juices sucked out, some material remained.
There was less than anticipated, but it was still enough for preliminary research. They had extraordinary effects on injuries and illnesses, yet aside from providing nutrients and numbing the body, the mechanisms behind their other effects remained unclear.
