I love this! The Healthiest Whole people are the ones who truly live, eat well, love and feel loved. In a well-known experiment out of Ohio State University, rabbits were given a diet high in fat and cholesterol to demonstrate atherosclerotic changes. The results were as predicted - except for one group, where there were 60 percent less atherosclerotic changes than in all the other groups. The only variable discovered was that the researcher for this group regularly took the rabbits from their cages and petted, stroked and talked to them. This experiment was repeated many times, with the same results. The rabbits who were stroked and cared for were healthier than those who were not. Intimacy at every level - emotional, intellectual, spiritual, and physical - is the flowering of unconditional love. - R. M. Nerem, M. S. Levesque, and J. F.
