“What’s your sign?”, he asks you at the bar.

But surpringly, it’s true — there have been STUDIES THAT SHOW THAT SOME DISEASES ARE CYCLICAL THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
What?
Yes — the month that you’re born in can very much predict the type of long-term disease you may encounter or be succeptible to. This data comes from an analysis of over 86 million births from around the world — so you know that the data source isn’t isolated to just a few people in a small town.
If you were born in these months, you should expect to encounter the following:
- MARCH: Alcohol Abuse, Alzheimer’s, Autism, Bipolar, Childhood Diabetes, Eating Disorder, Epilepsy, Narcolepsy, Personality Disorder, or a Seasonal Affective Disorder
- APRIL: Alcohol abuse, Autism, Bipolar, Childhood Diabetes, Eating disorder, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis (northern hemisphere births), narcolepsy, Parkinson’s Disease, Personality Disorder, or a Seasonal Affective Disorder
Are there good months to be born in? Certainly:
- SEPTEMBER: Just schizophrenia… and only if you were born in the southern hemisphere
- OCTOBER or NOVEMBER: Just multiple sclerosis… and again, only if you were born in the southern hemisphere
