As you can see, his ability allows you to heal 10 damage between turns. BUT take a look at Nidoqueen's Maternal Comfort ability...

It says that you can only use her ability once in between turns. Does this mean you can use Serperior's ability more than once?
Healing infinity damage between turns?
 
You can use Serperior's Ability more than once for each Serperior you have on the field. For example:

1 Serperior out = 10 damage from all Pokemon healed between turns (no more than that)
2 Serperior out = 20 damage from all Pokemon healed between turns (no more than that)
3 Serperior out = 30 damage " "
4 Serperior out = 40 damage " "

Basically, the Ability stacks for each Serperior. You cannot heal more than 40 damage between turns by just using Serperior, so you can't really heal "infinite" damage, but you can heal quite a bit.

The difference in the text between Nidoqueen's Poke-Body and Serperior's Ability is really the difference between what you can do. Serperior does not say "You can't use more than 1 Royal Heal Ability between turns.", so it is able to stack like that.

Actually I think his question was can you use ONE serperior to heal infinite damage each turn because it doesn't say you can only use it once. This is incorrect. Both nidoqueen and serperior have bodies that kick in only once between turns. But Nidoqueen can't stack with other nidoqueens because it says "you can't use more than one ... per turn" Serperior on the other hand can stack because you can use any number of the abilities per turn (well you can use 4, anyway). But each serperior can only use its ability once. So thats a maximum of 40 heal in between turns.
 
For each Serperior you have in play, all of your Pokemon heal 10 HP in between turns.
If you have only one Nidoqueen in play, all of your Pokemon heal 10 HP in between turns as well, but multiple Nidoqueen won't make this stack.

Therefore, theoretically, if you have 4 Serperior and 1 Nidoqueen in play, all your Pokemon can heal 50 HP in between every turn.
