I have found that ground beef works best, it is most able to dissolve into the most beautiful creation I have every laid my eyes upon. It must look weird, to the unvitiated, when I unhook my gear, pull out raw meat, and spread it out the wound, like a heathen in the woods practicing witchcraft, but within the first 5 minutes, the meat starts to dissolve, and explodes through their pores as a tar which resembles the void. 10 minutes in, and the flames begin, despite there being no heat, the healed will become engulfed in them, and visually, as I have heard from others, it appears as I am burning them alive, until 5 minutes later, the burnt husk appears as they did 15 minutes prior. To those around me, when I do this, I highly recommend they turn around with blindfolds and ear plugs, as they are more useful to me functional than useless in the presence of God's son.
