THE HEALING POWER OF HUMOR
Dr. Norman Cousins, author of Anatomy of an Illness, is a prime example of how a
person can cure himself of a terminal illness. He had a 1-in-500 chance of recovery, but
Cousin wanted to prove that if there was anything like mind over matter, he'd make it a
reality. He figured if negative emotions caused negative chemicals in our body, then the
reverse must be true too. Positive emotions, like happiness and laughter, would bring
positive chemicals into our system. He moved from the hospital to a hotel and rented
humorous movies and literally cured himself by laughing. Of course, medical help is
important, but the will to live for the patient is equally, if not more, important.
A funny bone could be a lifesaver. Besides, it makes life's adversities easier to handle.
