Because Laughing Out Loud Is Good For Our Health

Laughter is the tonic, the relief, the surcease for pain.
Charlie Chaplin

A day without laughter, is a day wasted.
Charlie Chaplin

Yes, I'll admit it, I've watched the following commercial a gazillion times in the last two weeks! It makes me laugh out loud and I think it's brilliant in both concept and casting.
Ad if truth be told, I've really needed to laugh out loud more in my life as of late.
Laughing helps to put things in perspective, and it's good for the soul.
And as far as diabetes, I've often wondered how much easier life with diabetes would be if we could get all Jedi Master on the big D.
Plus, laughing lowers blood sugars, and laughter makes you feel better, diabetes or not!



Speaking of getting all Jedi and The Force, check out: Chad Vader - Day Shift Manager, a hysterical series on youtube! Chad is Darth's younger brother and he most certainly has an inferiority complex. He's kinda like the Rodney Dangerfield of The Vader Clan. Star Wars fan or not, watch this clip because it's hysterical!

On Vacation I Was Reminded That Being Imperfect Is TRULY SPECTACULAR & BEAUTIFUL

Individual shells- all imperfect- all gorgeous!

The minute I found this shell, I screamed with joy because I couldn't believe how lucky I was to find it!
It is beautifully imperfect and it has a SPECTACULARLY BEAUTIFUL HEART~

NATURE'S IMPERFECTIONS ARE BEAUTIFUL.

NATURES IMPERFECTIONS ARE UNIQUE AND STAND OUT IN A CROWD

Remember that:

Every single one of us is IMPERFECT

Every single one of us is SPECTACULAR

And EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US IS BEAUTIFUL!

And being different is what makes us so~

Common painkillers triple risk of stroke

Common painkillers triple risk of stroke
The British Medical Journal has published evidence that common painkillers such as aspirin and ibuprofen double the risk of a heart attack, and triple the chance of stroke. The researchers were alerted to the potential dangers of anti-inflammatory painkillers following the withdrawal of Vioxx (rofecoxib) after it was found to cause heart disease and death.
Vioxx was a COX-2 inhibitor, a ‘new generation’ anti-inflammatory supposedly safer than the older NSAIDs (non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs), such as aspirin.  But the researchers found that the risk exists across the entire family of drugs when they analysed the results of 31 drug trials, involving 116,429 participants.

The researchers conclude that the drugs – many of which can be purchased without a prescription in pharmacies – are not safe, and should be taken with great care.

Homeopathy heals - long-term!

Homeopathy heals - long-term!
How healthy are chronically ill patients after eight years of homeopathic treatment? Well, the results from a long-term observational study appear to be much better, and the improvement in their health lasted for the duration of the study.

Disease severity and quality of life demonstrated marked and sustained improvements following homeopathic treatment period. Our findings indicate that homeopathic medical therapy may play a beneficial role in the long-term care of patients with chronic diseases.

The findings, that patients who seek homeopathic treatment are likely to improve considerably, and that the effect persist - reflects my experience of homeopathic treatment, with my gastric ulcers never returning, following homeopathic treatment over 30 years ago.
