Does anyone have any information on "laughter therapy"?

Question:

I've heard a few vague things about laughter therapy--the idea that laughing has the ability to help heal physical as well as emotional ailments--and am interested in finding out more. Everything I've found on the net has been a little vague. I'm interest to know if anyone has tried this or has information about studies on it. Also, I've heard that some physician has compiled some kind of a "laughter medicine database"--funny clips, cartoons, movies. etc. Anyone heard of it?

Answers:
These links looked very informative. The second one speaks of Norman Cousins.

Do it yourself!! All you have to do is laugh!! Laughing is good for you in everyway!!
