Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. Several years ago I used to host a show called

this Holistic Success show. On the show we had the most prominent people in the world of holistic health come talk about how we can be overall healthy.

I remember one guest, he was a medical doctor and she was written a book about

had written a book about this and was really going around the world trying to help people keep costs down medically.

And here was our whole point. We can have a small medical problem and if

we don't treat it early enough, what can happen is it will become a big problem. And what she found was a lot of people trying to save costs,

they don't go to the emergency room or go to their doctor, and then when they finally are

so ill that they have to go or they're going to die. They end up spending perhaps a week or two

months or even a year in the hospital treating the illness which could have been treated

quite easily if they had caught it earlier. I remember I was once caught by this myself, maybe not

on this major of a scale, but when I was a student I remember having an ear problem and it hurt and it just kept getting worse and worse and

worse.

And finally I went to the doctor and just found out that it was clogged and now it was infected

and if I just used eard periodically I could never have the problem again.

And that's been the case.

I've never had ear problems ever again in my life.

So what in the world does this have to do with happiness? It actually has quite

a bit to do with happiness. Because what happens is, like with our bodies, we start off

pretty good.

When we're young little babies, we are pretty happy little campers.

I mean, I know we cry when we're hungry, and we cry when we need our diapers

chains.
