A Support Team/Caring Community Contributes to Healing, Health and Longevity | ||
As Dean Ornish, M.D., wrote in his best-selling book, "Love & Survival": | ||
"Love and intimacy are at the root of what makes us sick and what makes us well, . . . what
makes us suffer and what leads to healing. If a new drug had the same
impact, virtually every doctor in the country would be recommending it
for their patients. | ||
| ||
| Benefits of Creating A Support Team: | ||
| The beneficial effects of
strong social ties on longevity, preventing illness or recurrence of
disease, prolonging remission, and on the healing process itself, are
well documented in numerous medical studies undertaken during the last
several decades. These benefits are known as the "Roseto
Effect
