Not for a ruptured appendix, broken ribs, hernia, or extreme diarrhea ... under those conditions, avoid laughter ... other than that, it does work well for many other problems ...

It's sure the cheapest medicine...!

What Dr. Norman cousins achieved with laughter was amazing, and what they've since found out about changes in the body's chemistry according to ones emotional state is pretty awesome.

Too bad there just isn't a switch we could turn when we needed it to get happy and get the body functioning optimally, to clear out all the toxins, and release restorative chemistry into the system from the various glands whenever we needed it...? ;-)

In general yes. But it also depends on the place and situation.Otherwise Laughter in the wrong time and place may put you in a difficult situation.

True,giggling is good for colds,snickering is good for sore feet,and belly roaring is good for everything else that ails you.Dr. Jolly Roger told me this.

if you have lost the ability to laugh then you might as well give up. laughter is the key to life. without it your heart is sunk. a very wise man told me that you should always be able to laugh at yourself.

- that a good answer . i love to laugh

To "get better" means different things to different people, but I think if you are in a place where you can laugh, you are in a good place.

Whether or not it is, it's the only medicine that has even the tiniest help with me. I suffer pain every day. Also, I'm very hypersensitive. Not only is pain magnified 10 times, but most drugs have no effect. The only effective treatments I've ever had is morphine (when I broke my ankle and foot in May 2007) and general anaesthetic (which they have to use when I need any dental work done, etc.). I'm bed-bound most of the time, taking all sorts of tablets that don't work. The only other thing I can do is to try and take my mind off the pain. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But I've got no other choice, because they won't give me IV meds, despite knowing I'm extremely hypersensitive. It's a sucky life I'm living, but what's to be done...?

It's not the best... I would say pure comfort is way better... I would give up any laughter, for the hug from my boyfriend any day, any time, any situation

It has always managed to bring me out of a rut and
put a positive spin on things. In my darkest moments good cheer and a deep hearty laugh can turn things around. There is always hope around the corner and sometimes at the flick of a TV to watch something like Comedy Central to put a much needed smile where a frown had formerly occupied one's visage.

- its the best! thanks kevi!

Yes. Yes, I do. Laughter always flips my mood, no matter how mad I might be. That's why I can appreciate humor in almost anything.
