Here are some questions about cellulite that need to be answered by more research. Each of these questions is a research project. To read more about the treatment of celluite, see Peter T. Pugliese, MD's, article in the August 2008 issue of Skin Inc. magazine: "A New Look at Cellulite, Part II."
- Why do some women not get cellulite?
- Why do only a small percentage of Asian women not get cellulite?
- What is the mechanism of MMPs attacking connective tissue in specific areas?
- How can we best prevent menstrual cycling from destroying nonuterine tissue?
- Why does estrogen appear to precipitate autoimmune reactions? How?
- How can we boost collagen production safely and for a lifetime?
- Are all fibroblast the same all over the body?
- Do specific populations of fibroblasts respond to specific hormones?
- Why is there no biological feedback mechanism to correct cellulite?
- Hormones are potent biological compounds with multiple effects—how much do we really know about them?
- We should look carefully at the relationship among estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, fat metabolism, neurological integrity and carbohydrate metabolism. Although a great deal is known, we have a long way to go.
- Finally, what are the biological variations relating to cellulite in the various ethnic groups, not just Asians. Cellulite is a disease that may represent a springboard to understanding many of the biological problems relating to both aging and cancer.

What is Laughter Yoga?
Laughter Yoga combines Unconditional Laughter with Yogic Breathing (Pranayama).
Anyone can Laugh for No Reason, without relying on humor, jokes or comedy.
Laughter is simulated as a body exercise in a group; with eye contact and childlike playfulness, it soon turns into real and contagious laughter.
The concept of Laughter Yoga is based on a scientific fact that the body cannot differentiate between fake and real laughter.
One gets the same physiological and psychological benefits.

Yours in Laughter and Light,
