Full moon exerts no pull on frequency of epileptic seizures

d psychiatric hospital admissions have found little or no association. Why then, does the belief persist that the moon may have some mystical gravitational power over our health and well being?

"Some people still seem to like poetic, mysterious and irrational explanations for puzzling diseases like epilepsy."
