As another anecdotal fact, when I was young, after a few repeated accidents in a combat sport, I remained with a large swelling in the tendons of one thumb, which would not heal.
More than a half of year later there was still not any sign of healing, despite all efforts to treat it.
It happened that during a couple of weeks I ate a huge amount of European wild blueberries every day. After the first week, my hand healed abruptly and no sign remained that there ever had been any problem.
I have no idea what was contained in the wild blueberries that triggered the healing. At that time I was eating healthy food, including a lot of varied vegetables and fruits, so it is very unlikely that I had any kind of vitamin or mineral deficiency.
In any case, the European wild blueberries have a much higher content of anthocyanins than the American cultivated blueberries, which can be easily noticed when seeing their strongly colored pulp, in comparison with the clear pulp of the American blueberries.
