Stephen,

Most medically induced comas require the use of drugs, so that would be a no. 

There are states that support increased healing, theta and delta.  What are you looking to heal exactly?  Different traumas require different protocols and generally require supplementation for maximum results.    I deal with muscular microtraumas everytime I work out and in growth cycles will consume fairly large amounts of whey protein immediately after exercise and just before bed - the times when my body will absorb and use it best.  I also take care to remain well hydrated throughout the day.

What are the traumas you need to increase the healing on?  Microtraumas need time to synthesize the new muscle tissue and can't be accellerated too much.  Physical healing is also energy intensive and requires fuel (other than the protein).  If sufficient fuel in the form of consumable carbs isn't available, the body will use muscle tissue for the fuel source and you usually don't want the body in a catabolic state.

So your answer I guess is a qualified yes, you can induce an accelerated healing state (not a coma) but you need to fully understand your hydration, protein and energy needs as well for it to be effective.
