Humor’s Healing Power

A post by Blanche Scharf http://www.yourhealthupdates.com I have been studying natural healing modalities for the last 25 years. In that time I have had the privilege of working with some of the greatest minds in Natural Healing including Naturopaths, Scientists, and Energy Healers. I have seen people miraculously heal from all kinds of dis-ease thru non-invasive methods. Personally, I have experienced all kinds of diets from Macrobiotics to Raw Foods. Now is a very important time to start sharing this health information with as many people as possible, so people can make well informed decisions about their health and not fall victim to a sickcare system based on profit, rather than one of supporting wholeness, compassion and love To see more posts by Blanche Scharf, click here

Humor’s healing power is well know through the writings of Norman Cousins. Medical researches including academic medical researcher Dr. Lee Berk found that “laughter” had a significant effect on hormones. Two hormones-beta-endorphins (a chemical that elevates mood) and human growth hormone (HGH; which helps immunity) – increased by 27% and 87% in study subjects who told they were going to watch a humorous video.  The controls that were not told that were going to see a humorous film did not have that reaction.

Studies have shown that the anticipation of laughter reduces the levels of stress hormones. These are cortisol the steroid stress hormone, epinephrine known as adrenaline and dopac the major catabolite of dopamine. These are stress hormones that can be detrimental to immune function. From raising good cholesterol (HDL) and lowering inflammation humor healing power seems to be potent.

We believe that without laughter healing is much harder. Humor’s healing power is so potent that it can cure what ails you. We thought this is a good place for our disclaimer.
