2. I've never been quite right, but it actually makes me feel
a bit un nerved when the moon is full and even the few days waxing into it, and when the moon starts waxing after a new moon.

They say there is no correlation between moon phases and any health condition but anyone who works with labor and delivery, psych, emergency rooms, etc. will tell you it is BUSIER when the moon is full. My unit right now is FULL and people are waiting to get in. Good marketing? Maybe, but we have a shoestring budget right now because we were downgraded on Moody's investment profile to just above junk bonds for the hospital. Like we have 5 days operating expenses in cash on hand, then we're in the red. So I would venture to say it is more than the marketing, and since we and all animals are a majority water and a handful of chemicals, then of course the moon is going to affect us. It does its job on the tides, and so it must be doing something to us. Even if it is unmeasurable at the current time, doesn't mean it will always be. As far as the correlation studies, I don't know what to say, except in this case, tons of anecdotal evidence speaks more loudly than science :shrug:


:hi:

:hug:

this too shall pass
