...that Dr. Norman Cousins, in
his book Anatomy of an
Illness (1991), was able to
demonstrate the healing
power of humor in curing his
own catastrophic illness. Dr.
Cousins spent time each day
watching "Abbott and
Costello movies". It is clear
that "laughter is the best
medicine" or at least can
help when it comes to
relieving pain symptoms.
When we laugh for a
prolonged period of time
and laugh hard (belly
laughs) our body releases
chemicals called endorphins
that act like "natural opiates"
to the body so the pain
severity actually diminishes
and even disappears for a
period of time.
