Levity PAYs in Health!
You probably know by now that the newest research is revealing that patients, doctors and health-care professionals are all finding that laughter may indeed be the best medicine.
Laughing is found to lower blood pressure, reduce stress hormones, increase muscle flexion, and boost immune function by raising levels of infection-fighting T-cells, disease-fighting proteins called Gamma-interferon and B-cells, which produce disease-destroying antibodies.
Laughter also triggers the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, and produces a general sense of well-being.
Laughter is infectious. Hospitals around the country are incorporating formal and informal laughter therapy programs into their therapeutic regimens.
In countries such as India, laughing clubs -- in which participants gather in the early morning for the sole purpose of laughing -- are becoming as popular as Rotary Clubs in the United States. |

According to William T. Jarvis, Ph.D:
Norman Cousins, a former editor of The Saturday Review, revitalized a popular belief in the power of the mind on the body in his book Anatomy Of An Illness (Norton, 1979). Cousins recounted his own 1976 New England Journal of Medicine article describing a self-healing experience alleged to have happened in 1964. Upon returning from a trip to the Soviet Union, Cousins said that he was experiencing stiffness in his limbs and nodules on his neck and hands, and that he was given a tentative diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis, a degenerative disease of the connective tissue.
After suffering adverse reactions to most of the drugs he was given, Cousins decided, with the cooperation of his doctor, to take matters into his own hands. Recalling various accounts he had read about the power of positive emotions, and the value of vitamin C, Cousins checked out of the hospital and into a hotel, discontinued his medications except for intravenous injections of vitamin C, arranged for showings of laugh provoking films, and read humorous books.
In time, he experienced a gradual withdrawal of symptoms and eventually regained most of his lost freedom of movement. Cousins' account gave no evidence of a confirmed diagnosis, or that his fortunate recovery was any more than a normal resolution of his symptoms over time. Nevertheless, he reported receiving some 3,000 letters from doctors praising his decision to pursue self-treatment and supporting his mind over matter healing ideas.
