How the Moon rules your life At last, scientists claim to have found a link
between our satellite and human behaviour - like how it governs the size of your
dinner By Roger Dobson Published: 21 January 2007
For eons, folklore has blamed the Moon for everything from lunacy to bad
luck. And, for the last few centuries, scientists have scoffed. Now, according
to new research they're not so sure. The Moon may not be made of cheese, but it
seems to influence a lot more down on Earth than we previously thought.
According to new research, the Moon affects not only the tides of the oceans
but also people, producing a range of symptoms from flare-ups of gout to bladder
problems. It may even lie behind the causes of car crashes and affect people's
hormonal balances.
Having carried out new research and reviewed 50 other studies, scientists
suggest that doctors and the police even need to prepare for how their work rate
will increase at different points in the lunar cycle. Among the findings
examined by the researchers were studies that showed GP consultations go up
during a full moon, according to Leeds University. Appointments rise by 3.6 per
cent, which works out at around three extra patients for each surgery. The
researchers did not speculate on the nature of the moon-related problems or why
they happened, but said that "it does not seem to be related to anxiety and
depression".
