Humor is an antidote to all ills.

One cannot separate the health of the individual from the health of the community, from the health of the world.

We need each other, deeper than anyone ever dares to admit even to themselves. I think it is a genetic imperative that we huddle together and hold on to each other. There is no question in my mind that there is nothing else in life, really, than friendship.

Remember laughing? Laughter enhances the blood flow to the body’s extremities and improves cardiovascular function. Laughter releases endorphins and other natural mood elevating and pain-killing chemicals, improves the transfer of oxygen and nutrients to internal organs. Laughter boosts the immune system and helps the body fight off disease, cancer cells as well as viral, bacterial and other infections. Being happy is the best cure of all diseases!

The value of friendship and just deep human contact grows out of giving.

I am a Doctor, but above all else I consider myself an activist for peace, justice and care for all people.

What I really want is a world where no one alive can remember what the word 'war' means. That's my goal.
