IT IS TO LAUGH
Laughter is said to be
the best medicine and
there is a lot of truth in that
statement. When we laugh a good belly
laugh, the brain and thyroid gland release
endorphins. This substance affects us
by giving us a “high.” We feel good.
Endorphins are also triggered by heavy
exercise. Runners of marathons, for
example, experience a “runner’s high.”
Not only does one feel good in the “high”
state, stress and pain are alleviated and a
sense of well being takes over. Endorphins
are terrific things.
It is not merely a matter of imagining
either. The relief from pain, for example,
can be measured. A hospitalized patient
has a sedimentation rate taken from a
blood sample. The “sed” rate is clearly
reduced after a bout of laughter. The
endorphins act the same as morphine
by affecting the pain mechanism in the
body. But endorphins have an advantage
over opiates. There are no side effects and
no addictions because they are natural
body substances. They also inhibit the
emotional response to pain and this is not
an inconsiderable advantage. Those who
are emotionally possessed by pain are
easily depressed, a state which can cause a

lack of desire to continue the fight. In such
instances it is easy to give up. Endorphins
help prevent this.
Decades ago, Norman Cousins wrote
of his hospitalization with a serious illness
and how he overcame it by a combination
of standard and unorthodox methods, the
principle input of the latter being laughter.
He watched comic videos and/or read
humorous books and achieved relief of
pain, enough to sleep for a couple of hours
until he ultimately recovered his health.
He felt 10 to 15 minutes of laughing on a
daily basis enabled him to recover from an
illness the doctors told him would kill him.
As unscientific as it sounds, specialists
have studied this phenomenon, and
hospitals provided comic videos and books
to stimulate laughter in the wards. It was
found that people with heart conditions
were less likely to laugh, and even when
they did the laughter was short lived.
Healthy people on the other hand laughed
readily and often. It was thought that the
endothelium lining of the blood vessels
was affected by laughter in a positive way.
The recommendation from the study was
“Don’t take yourself too seriously and try
to see the humour in the world around
you. Laugh 15 minutes daily.”
