Laughter
There is scientific evidence that laughter INCREASES your T cell count
T cells are part of your immune system.
A physician who practices integrative medicine told me he advises patients to try to get 20 minutes of laughter daily. Read something funny, See something funny. It should be real laughter....not forced laughter. So politely laughing at someone's jokes which you don't find hilarious.....doesn't count towards your daily laughter dose.
Here is something to help you get some laughter today:
This was given to me by a colleague of mine.
The Center for Disease Control has released a list of symptoms of bird flu.
If you experience any of the following, please seek medical treatment immediately:
1. High fever
2. Congestion
3. Nausea
4. Fatigue
5. Aching in the joints
6. An irresistible urge to shit on someone's windshield
**please note that the above is NOT actual medical advice

Maybe that explains why I am still alive after 20 years of HIV infection...I love to laugh!
Laughing is fun! Spent three-hrs laughing my butt off the other day.
i love laughing at no one and nothing. that could make me crazy. but at least, i'm healthy, right? LOL
laughter rocks in all situations. i am all about the comedy and the craziness as long as it keeps me healthy. jajajajajaja!!!
..but I enjoy taking dumps on windshields!
hmmm, what if your sense of humor is a little off kilter? like you always laugh at others don't find as funny.
Ron - keep on laughing and keep the T cells up :)
mariposa - i like seeing/hearing u laugh...no more ba humbug
transience- yes...healthy because it's real laughter :)
santiago - it makes life much easier doesn't it.
gustavo - clearly #6 can't be used to determine if it's bird flu in your case....we will have to rely on other criteria ;)
CC - still good because YOU find it funny and it's true laughter....the others if they laugh and don't think it's funny...they aren't helping their health...maybe just pleasing someone else.
When does a person learn a fake laugh? I would imagine that fake laughs actually bring on illness.
