Donna G Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Just saw a great show on the science channel. They said, proven scientifically that laughter reduces pain in half! Sure is worth a try, and at least you can have fun trying! the show will be on again twice on Sept, 28th, 06 http://science.howstuffworks.com/laughter.htm Donna G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa O Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Ihave also read that it helps with the immune system. Just be careful not to do too much laughing right after a thoracotomy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbaraSanAntone Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Hi just saw your post and thought I would add this: I was diagnosed a little over year ago, and when I went to pulmonologist for staging, he told me this: "I am so glad to see your smiling face" and he quoted Proverbs (dont know it exactly) that says "a cheerful heart is the best physician, a sad heart drys up the bones". That really impressed me, because the blood is made in the bone marrow. Of course, it helps that I always wear my boots and cowboy hat and people automatically smile at me and I smile back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
