David Hamilton - Why


Kindness Is Good For You
(Your Mind Can Heal Your
Body)
Dr. David Hamilton discussing how kindness makes
us happy and benefits the heart through the effects
of the hormone oxytocin.

Can Heal Your Body', 'It's the Thought that Counts', 'Is
Your Life Mapped Out? Destiny vs Free Will', 'Why
Kindness is Good for You', 'The Contagious Power of
Thinking', and 'Choice Point'.

Positivity and the act of kindness is proven to lower


blood pressure, stress and improve a sense of well-
being via the parasympathetic nervous system (in
particular, the vagus nerve). Dr. David Hamilton
explains in simple terms how people tackle serious
conditions, like cancer, with their minds and explains
the science of why it works.
David has a first class honours degree in chemistry
(specialized in biological & medicinal chemistry) and a
PhD in chemistry. After completing his PhD, David worked
for four years in the pharmaceutical industry developing
drugs for cardiovascular disease and cancer. During this
time he also served as an athletics coach and manager of
one of the UK's largest athletics clubs, leading them to
three successive UK finals.

Upon leaving the pharmaceutical industry, David co-


founded the international relief charity Spirit Aid
Foundation and served as a director for two years. He
travels the world giving talks and workshops that help
people to understand the role of their mind and emotions
in their health and life.

“Natural forces within us are the true healers of


disease.” -Hippocrates, The Father of Medicine

“A good laugh and a long sleep are two best cures for
anything.” ~Irish Proverb
