“Vitamin L”

Yes, it's been, but it's been at least 25 years since I've been coming to cancer control convention. And I love each time I attend here. But, you know, some of the old heroes are gone. They've passed. And you know what I want to do this morning in a special way. Frank introduced me as a chaplain, clergy type, and I am. But, you know, there are men and women that speak at this organization that are prosecuted and persecuted by the medical monopoly. Did you know that?

And there's a real heroes, you know, because they're presenting alternative therapies for this dreaded disease. The first part of my brief lecture will deal with the intellectual concept of building immunity with love and laughter. The scientific approach to it. And there is a science to love and laughter. You know that. And we can go all the way back for a thousand years if we want to. But I'll go just to Norman Cousins. He was in a Connecticut hospital getting a vitamin C drip in his arm, and the doctor said, Dr. Cousins, you're going to die.

He said, Doctor, if I'm going to die, I'm going to die. Laughing.

So they brought him Candid Camera. They brought in Abbott and Costello, the Three Stooges and all the comics in the cartoons. And Dr Norman Cousins started laughing with his vitamin C drip. And in six months, he left the Connecticut hospital totally well. This inspired him to write
