I know this isn’t “news” to long time members of this community, but it is still nice to hear a cardiologist & Chief Medical Officer saying it…

    Wow this was very moving!! I am recovering after gallbladder removal and I was alone for surgery and my recovery..I’m thankful for my snuggle community to help me heal in unexpected ways!✨

    This "doctor" needs to be stopped! How many times does he warn how dangerous this could be?!?! :o

    Now, let's get cuddling covered by health insurance or at least make it tax deductible.

    In all seriousness, thank you for sharing, @JohnR1972 . It's good to get this kind of confirmation.

    Finally a doctor instills the scientific research to his students and with the world about the benefit of hugs and closeness with intentional care and respite meeting biology. 💗

    I firmly believe this is amped up to a whole new level when cuddling a purring kitten or cat. 🐈 🐈‍⬛

    The dogs don’t purr but they relish in the snuggles too.

    Thank you 😊 🫂 for sharing JohnR1972.

    Thank you so much for sharing!

    As someone who comes from a Biology and Psychology educational background, it makes me so happy to see healthcare professionals educate and advocate for the benefits of human touch!!

    Keep Calm, and Get Your Cuddle On!! 💃🕺👯

    I watched this and almost wanted to cry because I want this so badly. But every session turns into me having to be on guard because the guy is trying to grope me. He mentioned feeling safe and comfortable. I haven’t had that experience yet!

    It is hard to imagine the positive impact his advice could have on the practice of medicine around the world. So simple, so effective, so practical, so inexpensive, so natural… so HUMAN. I feel like as a species we have lost so much in the name of progress and efficiency 🥲
