I have been of the opinion for awhile that the answer to the health care and health insurance problem in American lays at the foundation of the way that the current medical system is set up. In the U.S. our  entire philosophy is predicated upon treatment…not prevention and healing.  Again…our current medical system in America is not a system of healing but rather a system of treatment. Any system that concentrates on treatment without regard to prevention and healing is doomed to eventually be crushed under the weight of debt.

Just handing out drug medications without ascertaining the cause of the problem, and without educating the people on the cause of the disease, virtually gurantees that they will not be healed or cured, and will return for still more medication as  their unhealthy lifestyle continues to destroy their bodies as well as their minds.

Additionally all drug medications have negative side-effects. They have side-effects that are known and well as those that are unknown—some of them list as  a potential side-effect…death!

So instead of a person going to the doctor for a problem that in most cases can be healed compartievly rather  inexpensively with natural methods; they  they are given a drug or perhaps more than 1 drug, and then perhaphs a drug for  the side-effects of that drug, and yet another and still another until many people have entire shoe boxes full of medications…and many of these drugs they have to remain on for the rest of their lives…good for the drug makers perhaps bad for the patients.

Experienced natural practitioners can in the great majority of cases develop a program which will  include correct eating habits, sleeping patterns,herbal and vitamin/mineral supplementation, etc…that can produce amazing results for a fraction of the cost.

“The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease” –Thomas Edison

The Bible records the words of the wise King Solomon, when he declared… “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.” 17:22.

This statement is astonishingly accurate! In this statement we see the emotions of happiness and joy contrasted with the emotions of sadness and gloom, and the effect that each renders upon the body.

In this post we will however look upon the “medicine of laughter”.

University of Maryland Says Laughter Helps Arteries

Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore were able to demonstrate that laughter is linked to healthy function of blood vessels.

“Laughter appears to cause the tissue that forms the inner lining of blood vessels, the endothelium, to dilate or expand in order to increase blood flow.” the school pointed out in a press release.

Incidentally when the same group of study volunteers were allowed to watch a movie that produced mental stress, their blood vessel lining developed a potentially unhealthy response called vasoconstriction, reducing blood flow….this confirmed earlier studies that established that stress causes a narrowing of the blood vessels.

According to researchers the magnitude of change that occurred in the endothelium of the blood vessels was similar to the benefit that might be seen with aerobic activity! However the researchers do not recommend attempting to replace exercise with laughter—but rather add more frequent laughter for additional benefit.

Confirms Results Of An Earlier Study At The University

An earlier study at the University, also published in a press release, found that “laughter, along with an active sense of humor, may help protect you against a heart attack.”

The researchers found that people with heart disease were 40 percent less likely to laugh in a variety of situations compared to people of the same age without heart disease!

In this study Michael Miller, M.D., F.A.C.C., director of the Center for Preventive Cardiology at the University of Maryland Medical Center declared…

“We don’t know yet why laughing protects the heart, but we know that mental stress is associated with impairment of the endothelium, the protective barrier lining our blood vessels. This can cause a series of inflammatory reactions that lead to fat and cholesterol build-up in the coronary arteries and ultimately to a heart attack”.

Indeed it seems that “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.” 17:22.

Stressed out…The Herb Eleuthero (also known as Siberian ginseng) just might be your answer.

Siberian ginseng is a very popular herb that has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. It is also known as- Eleutherococcus senticosus, or Eleuthero (Formerly known as Siberian ginseng, a name banned in the United States by the Ginseng Labeling Act of 2002).

For Stress:

Eleuthero is an “adaptogen,” an agent that helps the body address to stress. Scientists believe it helps prevent “adrenal burnout” caused by ongoing physical or mental challenges. Eleuthero boosts concentration and focus without the letdown than comes from drinking coffee or other sources of caffeine.

Eleuthero supplements are made from the root. The root contains a mixture of components, common to many plants but occurring together in Eleuthero.

These remarkable compounds favorably affect the adrenal glands. Thus by supporting healthy adrenal gland function, Siberian Ginseng helps the body to adapt to stress.

Clinical Trials

Eleuthero extract has been administered to more than 2,100 healthy human subjects in clinical trials for purpose of evaluating its adaptogenic effects.

These studies indicated that Siberian ginseng/or Eleuthero increased the ability of humans to withstand the many adverse physical conditions such as heat, noise, workload increase, exercise, and decompression.

Eleuthero or Siberian Ginseng is held in high esteem in China, where it has been valued for thousands of years. It contains niacin, amino acids, carbohydrates, as well as calcium, potassium, phosphorus, sodium, magnesium, barium, iron, strontium, boron, copper, manganese, chromium, cobalt, germanium and zinc.

Because ginseng both restores and fortifies the body, damaged tissues are encouraged to heal.

Other Uses For Eleuthero

Eleuthero is not only used for stress and fatigue, but is also believed to be helpful for a number of maladies including atherosclerosis, ulcerative colitis, and impaired kidney function. It is believed (based on a few Russian studies) that the active components in Siberian ginseng are superior to the other types.

Blood Pressure

It is thought to help regulate blood pressure by normalizing arterial pressure and measuring arterial wall elasticity. When it is too low it will raise blood pressure and lower it when it is too high.

Memory/Concentration

Eleuthero is used to restore memory, concentration and cognitive abilities which may be impaired by improper blood supply to the brain.

Infections

Eleuthero has been used for preventing colds and flu, and for reducing the severity of herpes simplex virus type 2 infections. It is specifically indicated for people with immune-depression, fatigue, and a lack of vitality and perhaps those who get sick a lot. Unlike the herb Echinacea, it is not an immune stimulant, rather, it is an immune enhancer and helps restore optimum functioning in the immune system.

Conclusion

So if you are stressed out….like so many people are, you might want to consider Eleuthero…formally known in the U.S. at least, as Siberian Ginseng.

It is certainly true… that the Creator “causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man:” Psalms 104:14
