Studies were done a long time ago related to the deaths of otherwise healthy infants (usually in an orphanage, hospital or other institution)!.!.!.All the babies needs were met as far as food, clothing, medical care!. The only thing missing was human contact!. They call this "Failure to Thrive" and yes, children have died because of the simple lack of human touch!. There have been cases of Failure to Thrive in infants who were not in a hospital or instituton, but were home with their families, but still did not get adequate physical contact!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes it's true!. Babies who are not given much physical contact don't thrive and grow as much as a baby that is cuddled and massaged and held a lot!.
Old people who have lost their life long partners are more likely to die sooner if they are not touched or have skin contact with someone!. More old people die of lack of physical contact than of diseases!.
By the way, old age is not a disease, and without interference from doctors giving them chemical poisons, i!.e!. pills and potions for normal ailments, which will clear up by themselves anyway, a person who is loved and touched can live to a very old age perfectly healthy!.
Skin contact is most important in everyones lives, it does something chemically to the body that promotes good health and a feeling of well being!.

The first thing a mother does naturally when she gives birth, is to cuddle her baby, touch it's hands and feet, and this sets a precedent for it's entire life!. First impressions for a baby when it comes into this life is what stays with it for a lifetime!. So skin contact is important, and it is primal!.

Everyone loves a good massage, with the exception of those who were not given much physical contact as babies!. Massage leaves us with a relaxed, good feeling, and this is from the earliest memory of mother's touch!.
