Although it’s absurd to accept that both Wolverine and his heightened sense of smell and regenerative abilities are real, at least the regenerative capabilities of our olfactory bulbs is proven real.

And what’s more, it can actually combat paralysis!

Take Darek Fidyka’s experience.

The successful operation was the first of its kind for regenerative medicine, and Fidyka is believed to be the first man to walk again after having a completely severed spinal cord.

WOW.

Ok I don’t want to get ahead of myself but I am really speechless. I know 12 people who are paralyzed from abs and down, and wow, to see any of them walk again would really bring tears to my eyes…

Thank you for the article man. My wife and I are really happy to have read it.
