This story comes back around every couple years or so. It's an unfortunate side effect of the internet that a story just can't die.

The reason no one has heard of this miracle cure, except maybe me in 2010, 2012, 2015, and apparently again in 2018, is that it doesn't work.

Big surprise.

If you look at the finger you'll see it's just the very tip that's cut off, and at a pretty sharp angle. As long as the bone is intact, the meat of the tip of your fingers can grow back, even if it's slightly misshapen.

Funny how each time this story comes around, they talk about "regrowing limbs", but all I ever see are these photos of a fingertip that likely would've regrown on its own because there was no real "structural" damage to the body.

See Y'all in 2020, when this story cycles back around...
