According to Rev 22:2, the tree of life is medicinal, i.e. a remedy for whatever ails
you.
Adam's body became infected with mortality when he tasted the forbidden fruit.
The tree of life would've cured his condition and restored his body to perfect health
had God allowed him access.
The problem is, people tend to take advantage of medicine in order to continue
their bad habits. For example; treatments for STDs enable immoral folk to continue
their swinging life style with little fear of permanent consequences. The same can
be said for folk with high cholesterol numbers. Statins make it possible for them to
keep on eating foods that are bad for them
Had Adam been allowed free access to the tree of life, he and his wife would've no
doubt routinely included fruit from the forbidden tree in their diets seeing as how its
detrimental effects on their health could've been easily remedied by the tree of life.
According to Rev 22:2, the tree of life can be used as a medication to treat other
conditions besides mortality. If we had access to it in our day, we could use it to
cure people stricken with HIV, Alzheimer's, Hepatitis, Tuberculosis, Cancer,
Diabetes, Cirrhosis, High Blood Pressure, etc. That tree would free many of us from
depending as much as we do on Big Pharma for survival.
In the beginning Adam was completely naked, which strongly suggests to me that
he made use of the tree practically every day for common conditions like sun burn,
abrasions, rash, and insect bites which, again, strongly suggests to me that in His
own time, the creator would've eventually gotten around to showing the people
how to make clothing, not so much for modesty, but primarily to protect their skin.
