Sudhakar B	I agree with Gadfly in toto. I should know because I am anchor person to my local laughter club started by me and another medical doctor (allopathy with a broader outlook). Though clubs in India have innovated and use 15 to 17 different types of laughter i prefer only two i.e. GREGARIOUS LAUGHTER and GIGGLING LAUGHTER besides we also do clap theraphy and AUM chanting along with few joint exercise and end it with a positive declaration. Please note even if it is a fake one sub- conscious mind accept it and releases happy hormones to experience a feeling of JOY. Dr. Madan of Mumbai (India) was the originator of Laughter Club. Good luck and God bless. Cheers! :o) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Gadfly	The answer is yes. There is a movie series done by famous British director/producer John Cleese called The Human Face especially spoke of this. There are about 60 laughing groups in India who gather every morning just to laugh for 30-60 minutes to improve health. About 200 such groups world wide. In the movie, they demonstrated that a research has shown even one is faking the laugh, he/she can still benefit from it, as the body's mechnism is going through the same benefitial movements. Laugh, whether you mean it or not. Laugh! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
