>>> Warning: Humor May be Dangerous to Your Illness! <<<

Check out these quotes from a Registered Nurse, Patty Wooten, RN BSN CCRN, who reviews scientific studies linking laughter and good health: 

Coping with Stress: "Humor and laughter can be effective self-care tools to cope with stress. They can improve the function of the body, the mind, and the spirit. An ability to laugh at our situation or problem gives us a feeling of superiority and power. Humor and laughter can foster a positive and hopeful attitude. We are less likely to succumb to feelings of depression and helplessness if we are able to laugh at what is troubling us. Humor gives us a sense of perspective on our problems. Laughter provides an opportunity for the release of uncomfortable emotions which, if held inside, may create biochemical changes that are harmful to the body." 

How to Do It: "People can increase their beneficial laughter by adding exposure to humorous material. Caregivers can consciously change their behaviors to provide more laughter and cheer in their work settings."

Scientific Proof: "Humor perception involves the whole brain and serves to integrate and balance activity in both hemispheres. Derks, at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, has shown that there is a unique pattern of brain wave activity during the perception of humor.(49) EEG's were recorded on subjects while they were presented with humorous material. During the setup to the joke, the cortex's left hemisphere began its analytical function of processing words. Shortly afterward, most of the brain activity moved to the frontal lobe which is the center of emotionality. Moments later the right hemisphere's synthesis capabilities joined with the left's processing to find the pattern -- to 'get the joke'. A few milliseconds later, before the subject had enough time to laugh, the increased brain wave activity spread to the sensory processing areas of the brain, the occipital lobe. The increased fluctuations in delta waves reached a crescendo of activity and crested as the brain 'got' the joke and the external expression of laughter began. Derks' findings shows that humor pulls the various parts of the brain together rather than activating a component in only one area." Read Patty Wooten's full article "Humor: an Antidote for Stress".

Steven M. Sultanoff, Ph.D. says, "Humor is one of the healthiest and most powerful methods to help provide perspective on life's difficult experiences, and it is frequently shared during periods of crisis." Read his article "Using Humor in Crisis Situations".

The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter. - Mark Twain, U.S. Author (1835-1910)

Learn to use humor as a way to strengthen the immune system and how to make changes in coping styles. - Humor for Healing

Laughter lightens the soul. Laughter helps break down barriers between people. Laughter releases an endorphin that helps dull physical pain in the body. Laughter reduces feelings of stress. - Humor and Therapeutic Recreation

From the Movie "Patch Adams"
"In the American Journal of Medicine, it is found that laughter increases secretions of catacolamines and endorphins, which, in turn, increases oxygenation of the blood, relaxes the arteries, speeds up the heart, decreases blood pressure, which has a positive affect on all of the cardiovascular and respiratory ailments, as well as overall increasing the immune system response." --Patch Adams
