People are in strange moods and behaviors everyday but when the moon is full it's all her fault. When you want something to be true you always find reasons to believe it. fault... how can one blame the moon? Do you not think the cycles of the cosmos affect us, are we not a part of it...? Everything affects everything the rain affects me the sun affects me but I'm still responsible for my actions always will be no matter what outside interference I am face with. So to say people are acting strange because its a full moon is just an easy way out of someone own responsibilty for its own actions (it was a full moon that's why I wasn't myself). my humble opinion Wasn't suggesting any natural cycle releases us from our responsibilities... |

isn't it coz the moon has an effect on the water on this planet and we are made up of whatever % water? I think thats pat of it..When I lived on the beach my animals eyes would dilate during high tide... walk around barking, meowing for the day.. |

isn't it coz the moon has an effect on the water on this planet and we are made up of whatever % water? sure but the moon is still in the same position relative to the earth whether it is full or not. Its just a difference in the amount of sulight hitting it. So that shouldnt have any difference on the gravitational effects |

There are many influences of the gravitational field of the earth as well as changes in air pressure. The human body is responsive to many things that you don't even realize. If the moon is able to affect the tides of the ocean the way it does it certainly will affect something as sensitive as the human body. Thats how some people can "feel" that it will rain, etc. I'm fairly sure also that some people can "feel" something before an earthquake. They may not yet recognize what it is but I think lots of people feel it beforehand. jmo

It's been said that emergency rooms are at their busiest during a full moon. Don't know how true that is.

the majority of scientific research seems to refute the theory of the lunar effect. Psychologist Ivan Kelly of the University of Saskatchewan (with James Rotton and Roger Culver) did a meta-analysis of thirty-seven studies that examined relationships between the moon's four phases and human behavior. The meta-analysis revealed no correlation. They also checked twenty-three studies that had claimed to show correlation, and nearly half of these contained at least one statistical error.[4] Kelly, Ronnie Martins, and Donald Saklofske evaluated twenty-one studies of births related to the phase of the moon and found no correlation. The scientific data "supports the view that there is no causal relationship between lunar phenomena and human behavior".[4] (Diefendorf 2007:113)
A study of 4,190 suicides in Sacramento County over a 58-year period showed no correlation to the phase of the moon. A 1992 paper by Martens, Kelly, and Saklofske reviewed twenty studies examining correlations between Moon phase and suicides. Most of the twenty studies found no correlation and the ones that did report positive results were inconsistent with each other.[4] Psychologist Arnold Lieber of the University of Miami reported a correlation of homicides in Dade County to moon phase, but later analysis of the data — including that by astronomer George Abell — did not support Lieber's conclusions. Kelly, Rotton, and Culver point out that Lieber and Carolyn Sherin used inappropriate and misleading statistical procedures. When more appropriate tests were done, no correlation between homicides and the phase of the moon was found. Astronomer Daniel Caton analyzed 70,000,000[citation needed] birth records from the National Center for Health Statistics, and no correlation between births and moon phase was found. Kelly, Rotton, and Culver report that Caton examined 45,000,000[citation needed] births and found a weak peak around the third quarter phase of the Moon, while the full moon and new moon phases had an average or slightly below average birth rate. In 1959 Walter and Abraham Menaker reported that a study of over 510,000 births in New York City showed a 1 percent increase in births in the two weeks after full moon. In 1967 Walter Menaker studied another 500,000 births in New York City, and this time he found a 1 percent increase in births in the two-week period centered on the full moon. In 1973 M. Osley, D. Summerville, and L. B. Borst studied another 500,000 births in New York City, and they reported a 1 percent increase in births before the full moon. In 1957 Rippmann analyzed 9,551 births in Danville, PA and found no correlation between the birth rate and the phase of the moon [5] A fifteen month study in Jacksonville, Florida also revealed at least no lunar effect on crime and hospital room admittance. In particular: * There was no increase in crime on full moons, according to a statistical analysis by the Jacksonville Police Department. Five of the fifteen full moons had a higher than average rate of crime while ten full moons had a lower than average rate. The higher-than-average days were during warmer months. * Statistical analysis of visits to Shands Hospital emergency room showed no full moon effect. Emergency room admissions consistently have more to do with the day of the week. [6] In a study published by Epilepsy & Behavior[7], Sallie Baxendale and Jennifer Fisher of University College London hypothesized that if the moon phase is influential on epileptic seizures that this would be due to the moon's contribution to nocturnal illumination, rather than its waxing or waning state, and that significant correlations would not be apparent if local cloud cover were controlled for. A significant negative correlation between the mean number of seizures and the fraction of the moon illuminated by the sun (p = -0.09, P < 0.05) was found in 1571 seizures recorded in a dedicated epilepsy inpatient unit over 341 days. This correlation disappeared when the local clarity of the night sky was controlled for, suggesting that it is the brightness of the night and the contribution the moon phase makes to nocturnal luminance, rather than the moon phase, that may influence the occurrence of epileptic seizures. -wiki |

yea, I've read that one too, there are alot of different articles on the net with both sides.. I guess it's all about our personal perspectives, like every thing else. I do monthly full moon fires (Shamanism) and put more energy into it than most.

As we all know we are affected by the cycles of the moon, which will be in just 2 more days, the 6th. I just got in here and have only gone into 3 posts and I must say I think some are already being affected... 
I won't tell you what it does to me

People are in strange moods and behaviors everyday but when the moon is full it's all her fault. When you want something to be true you always find reasons to believe it. If in medicine, body water is all of the water content of the human body. A significant fraction of the human body is water. Lean muscle tissue contains about 75% water by weight. Blood contains 95% water, body fat contains 14% water and bone has 22% water. Skin also contains much water. The human body is about 60% water in adult males and 55% in adult females. AND A tide is the rise and fall of water caused by gravitational forces of the moon and sun on the oceans of the earth. How could you believe that the moon and sun do not affect the homosapien made of percentages of H2O in different aspects?? |

makes me wonder HOW does the phase of the moon affect people? I mean it's not in a different place or anything it just has more light shining on it from the sun I didn't read any further through the thread, so this may have already been answered... The moon affects the tides...when it is full...the pull on the tides is obvious...high tides are higher, the ebb tide lower.. we are 75 % water...us fwagile wittle humans...and as such are also affected. What affect does it have, in a noticable way? I feel it only magnifies that which is already happening within. Lunatic....comes from noticing that mental patients are more unbalanced during the lunar full phase... it's statistically proven that there are more emergency call outs during fullmoons...police and emt workers, A&E rooms are busier... and more conceptions...
on a full moon. |

Oh lawdy! Between the suicidals, the heart-breakers, the religious zealots, & the outright D!CKS I've seen today...I'm inclined to believe the moon must have something to do with it...or...it could just be constipation...
