    In medicine, using weights and pulleys to set limbs is given what name?

    I read a book years ago about a man who was part god or godlike, or may have even been alien. He had the ability to heal himself and could grow new limbs and organs. I remember in one part, he was in ancient Mexico and was about to be made a human sacrifice. He grew another heart in a different part of his body and when the priest cut out his other one, he was able to survive. He then stood up and really scared the priest. I know this sounds strange, but does anyone remember the name of the book?
