The Vegetative Receptor-Vascular Reflex (VRVR) – A New Key to Regeneration
ObjectiveWe describe a potentially new physiological reflex path that has so far been neglected but which could be used for a novel therapeutic approach: The vegetative receptor-vascular reflex. This is a physiological response that starts from the connective tissue and influences the whole organism...
