Positive Attitude
Laws of Life
Several years ago, a man named Norman Cousins was faced with a severe and crippling form of arthritis that was about to kill him. He decided, after consulting with a doctor, than he would try a revolutionary approach to find a cure. He watched Laurel and Hardy and Marx brothers movies, and took intraveneous megadoses of Vitamin C. And, he was cured. The laughter gave him pain- free sleep, which he hadn't had with regular medication. The chemical processes triggered by the laughter helped to cure him. He chronicled these findings in a book called Anatomy of An Illness.
It has only been in recent years that brain chemistry has become better understood. A generation ago the word endorphin was hardly ever heard. These chemicals can block pain, promote healing, strengthen the immune system, and produce feelings of well-being1. Medical science is making great strides today in understanding brain chemistry. However, the Bible recorded long ago in Proverbs 17:22 "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine."
A positive outlook is important!
