One of the most important things concerning health and disease is 'prevention'. I think that it's always good to eat fruit (see below, as of course: 'An apple a day keeps the doctor away'). But also doing healthy things can work as a good health carer. Like playing and/or listening to Music!
Eva probably didn't mean this beautiful envelope for this Your Doctor in Mail Art blog. But I consider it very suitable. Look at the upper concentration of the pianist, and see how happy (and healthy) the giraffe and lion look while being musicians!



As said, also fruits are good for health. Personally, my mood (and by this, the immune system) increases when I have breakfast containing fresh strawberries (so yes, Eva, me gustaría desayunar así!). But also other berries are said to be good for health. If this also is the case regarding coffee...?



Anyway, this beautiful envelope also caused a big smile on my face, and smiling is like laughing... good for health!
So thank you very much, Eva!

The best thing to do - to become/stay healthy - is to keep the doctor away.
Eva sent this collage of signs of - what we at home call - 'vitamine bombs' aka 'sport-candies'. And since I received this mail art, I am convinced that Fruits are Doctors, too.

Also the advice on the postage stamps ('don't contaminate/pollute') to provide us with clean air, earth and water, of course is an important one.



Moltse gràcies, Eva!
By the way, did you know that there are many collectors of fruit stickers? See for instance here, here, and a large collection here. And besides of using to make mail art, fruit stickers also can help making pointillistic paintings. Furthermore, the numbers on the stickers are solvable codes.
(Meanwhile fruitstickers are threatened with extinction, er, dissolving.)

La consulta del Dr.

Although at first sight this card not really seems to be mail art, the original backside has been altered*), the subject is 'doctor' and it has been sent by post. So definitely accepted for this YDiMA mail art blog!

'La consulta del Dr.' (the Doctor's consulting room) is a good example for health professionals' practice: add favourite music to the waiting/consultation-room and hospital wards, and patients' health might improve even faster.



(Though lack of nocturnal sleep will undo the health effect, then...)

*) altered first by Eva by putting some white paper and writings on it, then by me because of privacy reasons :-) Hope you won't mind, Eva!)

Moltes gràcies, Eva!

A feeling soms doctors may cause, with or without saying so!?...

Patient: 'What do you mean you are not going to do anything?

Doctor: 'You see, if I do, three things may happen!

1. If you get well, there will be one less patient. And if there are no patients I will be made redundant.

2. If you don't get well, my superiors will find out and will give me the sack.

And 3. If something goes wrong you'll make an official complaint and I'll get sacked.'
