Third International Congress of Hospital Clowns says laughter really is medicine

Nearly 400 clowns and doctors skilled at clowning took part in an international conference in Buenos Aires (Argentina) last week to present scientific evidence, backed by their own experience, to show why laughter was healthy. It was the third International Congress of Hospital Clowns.

This is not a new scientific research that shows that laughter is a valid and powerful healing modality, and it’s not far off: what defines scientific is a specific protocol (in this case just laugh) that anybody can try anytime anywhere, and get the exact same outcome (which is the case here: laughter heals people the same in the North, South, East and West).

The future of medicine is upon us, coming faster than we think.
