Show Cosmos Affects Mental States Human Acts Predicted By Math and the Moon A new electronic theory of psychiatry psy-chiatry linked with the solar system sys-tem was announced recently by a Duke University physician. The theory may put the behavior of insane and normal persons on a mathematically predictable basis. Dr. Leonard J. Eavitz, psychiatrist psychia-trist at the Duke medical school, told doctors at the southern medical medi-cal association meeting at Dallas that emotional disturbances can be measured electrically and that they definitely coincide with "cosmic events." Scientists have long known that each of us, like a battery, gives off electrical waves. At Duke, Dr. Eavitz has been measuring these "electrical potentials" in insane and normal persons for two years. By plotting the day-by-day results, he said, marked changes were shown coinciding not only with sun-moon sun-moon phases but with seasons. Citing the cases of psychotics (the most severely disturbed mental men-tal cases), he said they were much more emotionally disturbed during the phases of the new or full moons and in the spring or winter. Dr. Eavitz measured one patient for five months and on the basis of the results made a mathematical prediction of his behavior for the rest of the year. The prediction, he said, stood up in the patient's later actions. As further evidence of the link between emotional and cosmic change, Dr. Ravitz said that there invariably is more unrest on the psychiatric wards at Duke Hospital and the Veterans Hospital, Roanoke, Roan-oke, Va., during periods of the new or full moons than at other periods. pe-riods. According to the theory, a universal uni-versal electrical field imposes its design on both living and non-living matter. In turn, all living matter, mat-ter, responds to the universal field. |
