Laughter Is Healing

I promise not to make this a place for my own personal critique on everything I watch, but I just wanted to share this one thing because laughter is soooo healing and we all could use that.

 

I watched the most hilarious Ellen Degeneres stand up routine from 2000, called "Ellen, The Beginning" It was so hilarious, I can't think when I've laughed that much watching anything. Everyone has a different sense of humor I know, but if you like Ellen and you need a good laugh, as we all do at times, check it out. I like Ellen because she is not mean spirited and doesn't make fun of other celebrities in place of actual humor. Also because she feels for those who are less fortunate. It's refreshing, or at least I think so.

 

And... it's on youtube for free! :) Lots of amazing things to watch are. How great is that?

 

If Ellen's not your thing watch something else that makes you laugh. I keep a list of movies I know will make me laugh when I need to. It works wonders!

I have to agree. Everyone here should see that, it is hysterical, boy can we relate. Also, I love that guy, never seen him before. Stand up comedy can be so.... what's the word... un-funny!!! Glad to learn about a good one. Thanks :)

So sad, he was exceptionally funny!  Hang on going to find the link...

And Bunnie is spot on...laughter is always a the best path thru a tough time.  :)

I love how the ad before one of his videos markets a product called Poo-Pourri. It's the only YouTube ad I've watched the whole way through!

      @trents thank you for that information. My parents feel that cooking flour in toaster isn't a thing as its already cooked product before made? but Airbourne particles is my fear. Like I have had symptoms from 6 meters away had to leave massive migraine.

      Yes, except for the most sensitive, cross contamination from airborne gluten should be minimal. Highly sensitive people may have nutritional deficiencies.

      Should not be a problem except for the most sensitive celiacs. The amount of gluten that would get in the air from cooking alone has got to be miniscule. I would be more concerned about cross contamination happening in other ways in a living environment where others are preparing and consuming gluten-containing foods. Thinks like shared cooking surfaces and...

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure. These Tg IgA 2 antibodies mistakenly attack our own bodies, causing problems in organs and tissues other than just the digestive tract. Joints can ache, thyroid problems or the pancreas can develop. Ataxia is just one of over two hundred...

      Yes, except for the most sensitive, cross contamination from airborne gluten should be minimal. Highly sensitive people may have nutritional deficiencies.  Many times their bodies are in a highly inflamed state from Celiac, with high levels of histamine and homocysteine.  Vitamins are needed to break down histamine released from immune cells like mast cells that get over stimulated and produce histamine at the least provocation as part of the immune response to gluten. This can last even after gluten exposure is ended.  Thiamine supplementation helps calm the mast cells.  Vitamin D helps calm the immune system.  Other B vitamins and minerals are needed to correct the nutritional deficiencies that developed while the villi were damaged and not able to absorb nutrients.  The villi need vitamins and minerals to repair themselves and grow new villi. Focus on eating a nutritional dense, low inflammation diet, like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, and supplementing to correct dietary deficiencies.  Once your body has the vitamins and minerals needed, the body can begin healing itself.  You can have nutritional deficiencies even if blood tests say you have "normal" blood levels of vitamins.  Blood is a transport system carrying vitamins from the digestive system to organs and tissues.  Vitamins are used inside cells where they cannot be measured.   Please discuss with your doctor and dietician supplementing vitamins and minerals while trying to heal.

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure.  These Tg IgA 2 antibodies mistakenly attack our own bodies, causing problems in organs and tissues other than just the digestive tract.  Joints can ache, thyroid problems or the pancreas can develop.  Ataxia is just one of over two hundred symptoms of Celiac Disease. Some people with Celiac Disease also make tTg IgA 6 antibodies in response to gluten exposure.  The tTg IgA 6 antibodies attack the brain, causing ataxia.  These tTg IgA 6 antibodies are also found in people with Parkinson's disease, though they may not have Celiac Disease.  First degree relatives (parents, siblings, children) of those diagnosed with Celiac should be tested as well.  Celiac is genetic.  Your mom and sister should be tested for Celiac, too!   Definitely a good idea to keep to a gluten free diet.
