Humbot New Ideas for Humans
Mens is the Latin word for moon. The word menstruation literally means change of moon.
A Native American healer named Oh Shinnah says that in her tribe, all of the women have periods
synchronized with the cycle of the moon. Women with close ties who live close together often find
that their periods synchronize. In modern society with street lights and indoor electric lighting,
women no longer have the moon as their greatest "night light."
Modern women find that their cycles are about 28 days average, but when women live outdoors with
the moon as their main "night light" they synchronize their periods to the 29.5 day lunar cycle.
If a modern woman wants to make her period regular for the purpose of either getting pregnant or
avoiding pregnancy, she may simulate the changes in the moon in rough order by turning on a light in
her bedroom for certain parts of the lunar month. To do this, follow the prescription outlined in the
book, Lunaception, by Louise Lacey.
According to her web site, "The basic theory of Lunaception is that our bodies evolved to respond to
the light and dark of the moon's rhythms, menstruating at the new moon and ovulating at the full. To
reproduce that rhythm in western civilization, we must shut out all light while sleeping except in
mid-month, when we add a small night light to reproduce the effects of the full moon."

Another interesting fact is that Eskimo women's periods used to stop altogether in the Winter, when
the sun didn't rise each day. In more modern times, the availability of electric lights during the Winter
has eliminated this phenomenon. In Scandanavian countries, women rarely get pregnant during the
Winter months, it would be interesting to determine if lovemaking decreased during these months or
if it was only the fertility that changed.
