Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Dr. Von Stein told me that this knowledge about the Achilles healing itself actually came from studies from Nazi concentration camps. Apparently, to prevent the Jews from escaping, the Nazis would sever their Achilles tendons. But what they found was that after a certain period (longer in adults), they would have to repeat the procedure because the Achilles would repair itself even in adults.
