            Laughter therapy is the most developed and used in the United States. An American, a journalist and a teacher of psychology starts the beginning of this science. He had no other choice, because he had a disease of the bones and connective tissue - he could not move, even an ordinary meal (to open your mouth and chew) was accompanied by pain - the doctors threw up his hands and explained that the medicine can not help you in this situation! At the time ( 70 of the last century) in magazines was published the articles by neurologist William Frey. He did the research and decided to try: he was discharged from the hospital, moved into the hotel, ordered a room with a projector and a nurse! During all day his nurse showed different comedies. The first days he didn't laugh. A few days later he became funny and sad: he is real and stupid looking comedies and hoped that laughter will save his life. And he began to laugh like crazy, then he undrestood that he has less back ache. After a few weeks he was already observed persistent improvement. And after 2 years of "laughter therapy" he was a normal person and even started to play a musical instrument! Then he founded the centre, which operates successfully until now, and wrote about the benefits of fun are some serious books.
