The brain already has the power to heal our bodies. Think of the times when you have a soar throat or a flu and bacteria or viruses there are attacking and messing around with your body, it automatically raises the temperature to destroy them, also sends the white cells to eat them, starts repairing the damage and does many more things, many without you even knowing about... Another example is related to our bones; they are in constant reshape so that they can better resist the pressure that our body is facing. In case of a fractured bone it will grow back because the body has "the code" to heal it.
There are thousands of examples to give but I'm afraid that our bodies don't have yet "the code" to make this healing process indefinitely. It's like a machine, it works but not forever. Maybe in the future scientists will figure out how to make this possible.
Red cells have only a 120 days life span in the human body; they are produces, go into the blood and transfer oxygen from the lungs to your entire organism but after 120 days they die because they get old. New red cells will be generated to maintain a proper number of them but after years and years, when you as a person grow old, the red bone marrow gets old too and becomes yellow marrow so it looses the power to make new red cells.

The myth about using only 10% of our brains came from the fact that only 10% of the cells in our brains are made up of neurons, which are the cells that actually do the "thinking". The other 90% of the cells are called glia, which provide structural support and nutrition and clear away waste from the neurons. We don't exactly think with these cells, but they're still used all the time.
As for a code for healing, I don't think there is any untapped power that we have. There are just certain constraints on the amount that we can repair the damage done to our bodies because they are so complex.

First of all, humans use just about 100% of their brain power all the time. Just because we haven't figured out what parts of the brain are used for does not indicate that they are not in use.
Consider how a severed blood vessel of any size knows how to grow back together if there is something to grow towards, and grow shut if there is nothing to grow towards.
Consider also the vast amount of information that is stored in the brain, some think at at least 2 levels of redundancy. The information on how to heal our bodies from all sorts of things is already there, even if it does seem at times to be too easy to overwhelm.

No. Firstly, the notion that we only use 10% of the brain is not true, as has been shown by PET and other studies. Secondly, the brain can control many things, but not all things: many bodily structures do not have effective neural connections

The 10% thing is well-ingrained in popular culture, but that's about it. We're constantly healing ourselves. I bet you've scratched or poked yourself today, and our immune systems are constantly at work. The limits are not well understood, but it's unlikely you'll see people routinely living to 150.

Every cell in our body contains the code to repair ourselves. That is DNA.

A fairy tale. We use all of our brain power, all of the time.
