CANCER - Having fun can combat cancer






It seems that happiness is a healing tonic when it comes to cancer.

Having fun can combat cancer
A new study claims that having fun and enjoying life could help to counteract the effects of cancerous tumours in the body.The New Zealand study involved a group of mice who had been injected with melanoma cells. Scientists found that mice who were placed in spacious cages with lots of toys fared much better than the mice who were placed in regular lab cages.
After six weeks, the tumours had shrunk by 77 per cent in the mice in the "stimulating" cage. The tumours completely disappeared in 17 per cent of the mice, with no other cancer treatment. On the other hand, the tumours in mice in the regular lab cages continued to grow as normal "The way we live may well have a much bigger impact on the prognosis of cancer than we recognised previously," says Professor Matthew During of the University of Auckland.
