Laughter as Medicine

Charity (faithville, Us) on 09/04/2021
5 out of 5 stars

Laughter as a medicine section is filled with canker sore remedies, maybe that is punch line to make us laugh. I had trouble laughing until I had kids and then the dams busted open. I also started to read a lot of books after I had kids. I would go to the library because my spouse loves to read. He always read books to the kids and his parent's home was filled with shelves full of books. My dentist always told me I should do stand up comedy and I told him if I need to be this stressed out to be funny, I don't think that would be good for my health. I am not that funny. I am more of a realist. Living in a lie is not really living for me. Anyway. Back to the library. I saw this book, Close encounters of the God kind. I read that book and it changed what I thought about a lot of things. This clip is by the author, nothing about his encounter but his sense of humor. I think you will laugh and maybe go to youtube and watch his testimony on his trip to heaven in 88.

A Little Joke to Brighten Your Day

The interviewer asked an old man on his 99th birthday the secrets to his longevity. He replied, "For better digestion I drink beer. In case of appetite loss I drink white wine. In case of low blood pressure I drink red wine. In the event of high blood pressure I drink whiskey. When I have a cold I drink scotch.”

The interviewer was amazed and inquired, "When do you drink water?"

"I don't." he responded, "I've never been that sick."

Cheers.

Medical Notes:-

And Corporal Clappy is not a happy chappy. Still, you can't be a saint with his complaint. No, nobody similes with piles. Still, it's worse for the nurse.

Psychiatrist (to Patient lying on couch): "Now you must be completely open and honest with me if I am to help you lead a better life. What seems to be troubling you?"

Patient: "Doctor, I have this insatiable urge and compulsion to eat cocktail glasses. I just can't help myself."

Psychiatrist: "Oh my goodness, what, you eat the whole glass?"

Patient: "Yes the whole thing. Oh, except for the stems of course! "

Psychiatrist: "Oh dear, you really ought to try them. They're the best part."

AND

Doctor: "Nurse Jones, did you take this Patient's temperature?"

Nurse Jones: "No Doctor. Why? Is it missing?"

Cheers, Michael

This Guy goes to his Doctor and says:

"Doctor, doctor, I am really worried! I think I have broken my arm in several places. I need your advice. What should I do?"

And the Good Doctor says:

"I strongly urge you not to go back to those places".

Laughter Remedies - Two Ronnies

I notice that you have a "Humour Section" at Earth Clinic.

A great U tube video is by the "Two Ronnies" (British Comedians; Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbet) entitled "How to Care for the Sick". Wonderful 1970s stuff as long as you are not too politically correct. Another one is "Doctor Death" also featuring the Two Ronnies. "Indian Cooking" is hilarious too. Enjoy! Laughter is good for you.

Cheers,

Michael

Laughter, the Best Medicine

Mama To Many (Tennessee, Usa) on 07/17/2015

Perhaps we talk about Natural Remedies at my house too much....

This week we got a copy of, "The Lorax, " by Dr. Seuss at a secondhand store. This has been a favorite children's book in my house for many years.

On the way home from the store, one of my little boys asked his older sister to read him, "The Borax."

Remedy Side Effects for Canker Sores: I found Earth Clinic while googling for a canker sore remedy. I was relieved to find so many positive responses to these remedies. So I went and picked up several of the remedies hoping at least one would work as good as stated. I started with Alum. I dabbed a wet finger into the powder and applied it to the 4cm canker sore inside my bottom left gum. At first it stung like salt on an open wound. Then it subsided to the feeling of a butcher knife cutting into my gum. After a half an hour of this I rinsed my mouth out with water and spend 15min in front of the bathroom mirror applying H202 with a q-tip. The pain of applying the H202 eventually subsided to a pounding throb. My mouth was watering so bad I had to stuff kleenex inside my gums to dam the flood. The H202 eventually stopped sizzling so I rinsed and tolerated the dull throbbing ache for 1/2 hr. Finally I applied crushed aspirin to the sore. the aspirin burned but not as much as the alum. My mouth was now feeling like I'd been punched in the face.... twice. My bottom lip was puffy and my gums were numb everywhere except for the sore. I tolerated that for another 15min and finally rinsed the aspirin out with a cold budweiser. It's now been 2hrs later and I'm on my 7th beer and the pain has almost completedly subsided in the past 10min. So far the side affects of the treatment has been tolerable. Hopefully my head won't hurt as bad as my mouth in the morning....

DO NOT .. i repeat DO NOT, EVER put raw, undiluted garlic juice into your ear. I've had an ear infection for most of today, experiencing the normal agony [i've had maybe thirty of these damn infections over the years] and decided that i'd give the garlic juice a try. So i finely chopped seven cloves of garlic, stuck them into a large, plastic syringe [no needle!], put the end of the syringe into my ear and pushed the plunger. I hesitate to call it a plunger, I feel somewhat more inclined to call it a "detonator"; for at that moment the pain in my ear can only be described as... indescribable. I've had broken bones which hurt less than this. I've passed kidney stones which were positively comfortable compared with the insane, unimagineable combination of white-hot blowtorch to the entire right hand side of my face, and dynamite-coated road-drill intent on making a rather large impression/hole on my ear drum. I ran around the room desperately seeking some kind of cure for my newly acquired, self-inflicted facedeath, and in an insane panic managed to: 1: take four pain killers. 2: squirt cold water into my earhole and 3: place a nicotine patch over my ear. I'm not entirely sure what inspired the third choice, but in my insane stupor i think my brain somehow associated nicotine patches with stress/pain relief, so in a cloudy haze of bewildering desperation and nonsensical panic, i slapped 21mg of nicotinell over my earhole.

In a nutshell, it hurts. Don't do it. If you do do it, film it, put it on youtube.
