Yes the only thing is that when someone gets an injury you want to put a stop to or any inflammation because that can cause more serious problems in the future. Although it is true what you are saying, heat just wouldn't reduce any inflammation and like I just said if you want to promote healing then you would need to lower inflammation.

Hey everybody, I currently run a science blog ( url removed by moderator ) and after writing this article I felt like I should share it with more people! Many of us like to live a healthy lifestyle and by that I mean staying active. Although being humans we can sometimes do the wrong thing and cause some pretty bad damage, whether it's a broken bone or a sprained ankle you should know the answer to the question we commonly ask ourselves.. Do I use heat or ice!? First we must understand 2 forms of pain.. Acute pain and Chronic pain. Acute Pain: Acute pain is usually sudden and can usually be sharp pain in quantity. Examples of Acute Pain: Surgery Broken Bones Cuts or scrapes Chronic Pain: Chronic pain is usually long-term pain that lasts for a while even if the injury is healed. Examples of Chronic Pain: Headache Back Pain Cancer Pain When to use ICE : You're going to want to use Ice for ACUTE PAIN (usually an injury that has happened less than 48 hours ago or if swelling is present). Reducing the swelling with Ice is an effective way to get rid of the pain. Ice can also be used on chronic pain such as "overuse injuries" in this case applying ice to the injured are after activity to help control inflammation. You should never ice it before an activity. When to use HEAT : Heat should be used for CHRONIC PAIN to relax the muscles and tissues while stimulating a healthy blood flow. When using heat on an injury be very cautious about the level of heat you are using. You do not want to cause a first degree burn so do not leave heat pads on for a long time or while sleeping and use moderate heat.

Working in a Pharmacy I've dealt with a lot of blind patients, And they all seem to say the same thing, all they see is black. Black and a mixture of colors kind of what you would see if you had your eyes closed or if you were sleeping.. I suppose it makes sense since when you close your eyes there is no light being reflected into your retina, so without the capability to see you won't really have any light being reflected in there too!

From my knowledge I don't believe Comas can be self-induced.. Unless you throw yourself off a bridge ;-) I could be mis-understanding you at the same time, though.
