Guest guest Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Fascinating and, to me, quite believable. Somewhere I was reading a little bit about an individual who cured themselves of cancer with " laughter therapy " . After reading about the FDA and cloned meat I really needed a good laugh to get rid of the negative energy that created. Leon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Leon, It’s been shown that laughter is healthful, and let’s look at this: Simply putting a smile on your face has a therapeutic value. It need not be backed by a positive, happy attitude – it can be a “forced†mechanical smile. John Diamond, MD, did a lot of work in kinesiology. He wrote " Your Body Doesn't Lie " - published by Warner Communications - I wrote the Forward to the book. He found that smiling stimulated acupuncture points that had the effect of balancing the activity between the two brain hemispheres.
