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?

In the past, before physicians recognized that epilepsy was caused by processes in a person's own body, the disease's frightening seizures were associated with demonic possession and witchcraft, Dr. Benbadis said. "Some people still seem to like poetic, mysterious and irrational explanations for puzzling diseases like epilepsy."
