A pattern after all
 

With 37 responding thus far, there is indeed a pattern. Can we figure out what it means?

So of we 37 over half (20) were born April thru July - 4 months or a third of the year. If births are evenly distributed over the year (anyone know?) then we should see about 12 there. The group was conceived July thru Oct of the previous year. Conceived in the heat, gestated thru cold, and born into heat. So our mothers were heat stressed at each end of the pregnancy. Presumably the first three months were dusty outdoors. The second three they stayed indoors more and increased their housedust exposure. (I am admittedly fitting the evidence to the hypothesis here. Other interpretations are welcomed.)

Someone else take a shot at this?

maybe researching the year
 

the year is much more conclusive,
perhaps those that received vaccines - containing mercury?
or perhaps the areas of the world and their drinking water?
if PD ran in the genetic codes
perhaps they had a car wreck andhad a bad injury or blow to the brain?
maybe -it is random...
more men than women have this disease, that is factual.
who would like more theories... :rolleyes:

No real pattern.
 

There is not really a pattern here, out of 37 we cover every month of the year only slightly unevenly. Too bad, a pattern would have been fun.
I'm very glad you didn't get into celestial signs. They are sweet, but they're for the birds.......
How about childhood spent in: city, town, village, on farm, by sea, near forest, in mountains, near industry, near river, by lake etc. etc.? Probably no obvious pattern there either.

how about light deficit from shorter days?
 

The gloomy days of winter undobtedly depressed some mothers and the resulting chemicals impacted the fetus?

I think it's time we had a little talk. As much as you are such a handsome dude when I am on DM, and as much as you are a diligent researcher with a very productive mind, and as much as you add emensly to the color and endless flow of (often ) useful information....I think your losing it. Now I will leave the "it" to be determined by you and anyone else who reads this thread, maybe it's just me-but listen, I think you need to get off the computer and possibly go outside and sit in the sunshine for a few minutes and put your brain to some task not remotley close to wondering why we all have PD. Maybe I'm out of line, but somehow I think the next new thread you post you may be asking about the methods employed by our parents to toilet train us, or if we were excessivly traumatized when we learned that our parents were having sex when we were conceived! (I know I was...and still am, so... maybe...that one would be worth exploring.) :eek: :eek: :eek: .. On second thought -maybe I should go outside and get a little fresh air too.

Well that was different, but honest. I always have something to say especially when it gets this interesting. Is Rick losing it? Or, as an alternative question, I would ask - is he living a purpose driven life...Rick, join in.

Me?
 

:D
Whether I am losing it or not I can't say. I do take the little signature line about it being up to us seriously.

And I do feel that I contribute. The question of birth patterns is very relevant, for example.

Should I quiet down?

I was born at 8 am in Chehalis, Washington on July 25,1952, is the Everett,you speak of in Wa.;)
