Do full moons change a persons physical behavior and attitude?
Some say this too be true because of the excess amounts of water in our body. I also have heard that people that work for law enforcement have more problems with crime and delinquent activity around the time of full moons. So I wanna hear from you guys that obviously know more about this stuff than I do, is it really true?

The Moon exerts an influence, but it is not a direct cause, not something testable like a drug.
I don't know if there is anything in human physiology that can sense when the Moon is full, or rising, or both(other than visually), but Oysters, who cannot see, can be moved from their homes in the ocean, to an area with no large bodies of water around or even around them, and they open when the full Moon rises. They can sense it, because their food becomes active in the Ocean with the increase of light at night, and so it is a survival issue.
I do know that Humans have thousands of years of history during which nights of the full Moon meant more danger and more opportunity, so I find it likely that seeing a full Moon brings up ancestral memories which might result in more crimes, etc.
From a metaphysical standpoint, in my experience there are three basic types of metaphysical 'Energy' - - - Prana, Astral, and Aethyric (all 3 together = Chi).
Aethyric Energy has helped those who know the techniques to take on the mental form of bears, wolves, ravens, buffaloes, killer whales, etc, for thousands of years. There are natural pools and flows of Aethyric Energy all over the place (more in the wilderness than in cities), which connect with the full Moon and flow more intensely when it is in the sky. I'm not sure exactly why this would result in more crimes and more folks showing up in emergency rooms, except that maybe more criminals suddenly feel more 'powerful' or more 'energetic' than normal and decide to do things expressing their feelings more...
I've been a taxi driver, and there is definitely something more -wild- going on on nights of the full moon than otherwise.

There is no statistical evidence to support that this happens-really I'm not kidding.
it has always been thought that there was a connection-hence the term lunatic.
My experience seems to disagree with the stats, but I really don't have time to journal i all.
I see more seizure activity, more people go into labor, more flaky behavior, more violence, more exacerbation of psychosis-but until I finish school, I'm just a Mental Health Tech. program Manager, what do I know?

A friend who is a paramedic and works at a hospital swears that there is a rise in violence at the full moon.
My only experience with this was when I was working behind the "gun counter" at a local sporting goods store. I believe the paramedic.
WOW, looks like the person below just contradicted them self.

I normally would not answer someone who has a name as yours, as it shows a small mindedness which is incomprehensible in today's society. Whether you are talking about the black population, or the term in general, open minded people would ignore it and use another euphemism.
However the answer to your question is yes. The moon has a major role in human behaviour, as well as what we have as a society depended on as our calendar. The cycle of the moon has actually determined the outcome of wars, as well as famines.
Google may benefit you. Look up "Tidal pulls on full moons and human interaction"
Good luck. Oh, and get another name. Yours only shows your ignorance.

If they have a mental disease known as Clinical misanthropy than yes, you enter a delusion that you turn into a wolf but as far as normal people certain celestial positions affect the distribution of salts produced by you kidneys that cause your body to produce and excess of testosterone in the body. I read an article about it, about two years ago.
