I won't get into this discussion about the moon effects, but I just want<br>to react on this :<br>> Anyway I'll have to investigate more on that and I think that to<br>> switch for lunar calendar will help me to be able to see the effects<br>> of the moon phases on me more clearly, so in a year or two I can<br>> report on that a bit, it will take time ...<br>Switching to the lunar calendar will make you more aware of the current<br>phase of the moon and will on the contrary impair your ability to<br>objectively observe the effects on moon phases on yourself. The protocol<br>you are proposing will most likely just reinforce preexisting beliefs.<br><br>If you seriously want to study the effects of the moon phases, you<br>should do so through subjects that are foreign to the system you want to<br>prove,otherwise you open yourself to confirmation bias<br>(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias) that has proven to<br>exist even in honest
observers that consciously try to be objective.<br><br><br> </div> </div> </div></div></body></html>
