Absolutely the best medicine

THE story of Dr. Ursula Kirchner who healed her multiple fractures with simulated laughter, breathing exercises and positive thinking, without painkillers is inspiring. "When I fell from a ladder , I suffered multiple fractures, crippling my lower body. It was a Sunday and I had to wait for hours for the doctor, so, I started laughing, knowing that laughter releases tranquilisers. When the doctor came and asked  how was I feeling, I said fine! As I attended Swami Sivananda’s  yoga camp after two month, still bandaged, I would imagine myself walking normally and did yoga and laughing exercises. I healed in four weeks." Dr. Kirchner is president of Brazilian Laughter Club and founded it in 2003 along with Mari Tereza after they attended one of Dr. Katarias training sessions.
