That's because there was not a lot of story -- but mostly definition. It is difficult to make definitions interesting. It's like reading the dictionary as a storybook. I defined “Winter Person” as those people born between November 1st and February 2nd, plus a month or so either side of those dates, depending one the time of birth, night or day. I defined circadian rhythm as the daily variation in the brain temperatures, compared to the daily clock times and calendar dates. I further defined “Winter Person” as those who have much longer free-running circadian rhythms of 27 to 29 hours per day, compared to the usual 24 hours per day of most of the human population. Most Winter People have circadian cycles, that seem to slip forward a few minutes each day. With the onset of the shorter days of winter, these people have circadian cycles, which by December have slipped forward 12 hours, or a complete reversal of the night/day or sleep/wake cycle. This is similar to traveling around the world, and suffering 12 hours jet lag. This 12 hour sleep/wake cycle reversal is called Winter Depression or Season Affective Disorder. This may often be cured by using bright morning lights to shift the person back to match the current clock time. I introduced the concept of “Extreme Winter Person.” These are mostly the people who have the longer 29 hours cycles, and they will have two sleep/wake reversals each year, mostly in January and July. I gave the picture of Katie Holmes and Britney Spears as two well known examples of the behavior of Extreme Winter Women. I did not explain that there actually is a group which I call Ultra-Winter Person, who have four time-reversals each year, in January, April, July and November. This usually occurs with aging, and the elderly British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill is typical. I also explained the ancient and scientific meanings of Halloween and Groundhog's Day and their effect on human circadian rhythms and even the weather. What I did not define or explain is what I call the “Umbilicus Effect.” When you are still in the womb, your circadian rhythms are defined by hormones circulating in your mother's blood. Exactly at birth, or more accurately when the umbilical cord is cut, you suddenly are running own your own circadian rhythms, based on your own external time sensors. This is why the moment you are born determines your circadian cycles, either long or short. This explains why your behavior and personality are determined when you were born and not when you were “conceived.” I will not discuss the many internal clocks which all must start at the same time at birth. I have identified about 18 circadian clocks in the human being which mostly are synchronized by the thyroid gland. I will discuss them later under the title of “The Umbilicus Effect.” These are known by doctors as “birth defects,” and are such problems as: the hole between the two halves of the heart not closing at birth, resulting in Blue Baby Syndrome, or parathyroids not closing the pores in the lungs so that fluids do not drain out of the lungs, or the thyroids do not turn off bilirubin, resulting in Baby Jauntice or Bilirubin Baby, which is treated with exposure to strong lights – thus starting a proper circadian cycle by bright lights. I only mention the Umbilicus Effect here to show that the reason for studying circadian rhythms is to eventually show that “when and what time” you were born does affect your personality, behavior and your response to the events in your environment. Modern scientists has long pooh-poohed astrology as false, since they ask, “How could when you were born affect you or your behavior?” They claimed that genetics and biochemistry would only be due to the moment of conception and not time of birth. I strongly disagree and the purpose of this investigation of circadian rhythms is to show that the moment you are born has a strong influence on your future personality and behavior. But, hold on, I am not as an astrology, so put away your horoscopes, signs and charts. I am a scientist, who has shown that what ancient astrologers knew many thousands of years ago, that personality and behavior are affected by time of birth, is actually a true and verifiable fact. Where the ancient astrologers failed, is that they did not have the modern tools of computers and TV, thus their “predictions” had little basis in fact. They just didn't have enough data to go on. Was Egypt's Cleopatra a Winter Woman? She had all the flash and dazzle of a modern Britney Spears, and the “morality” of Wolfgang Mozart. But the ancients didn't know about either Britney nor Mozart, so they couldn't use them as examples of typical “winter” human behavior. Watch for the upcoming series, “The Umbilicus Effect.” In 2001, I made an absolutely amazing discovery. I wasn't even looking for it. I was trying to figure out a way to explain to my friends what a circadian rhythm looked like. I wanted to draw a graph. Not just draw a picture on paper with a pencil. I wanted to make an equation and then let my computer draw the picture of the equation. That way I could just change a number in the equation and then it would show the circadian rhythm of a summer person and then a winter person, or whatever. What does the graph look like if the circadian rhythm, instead of being 24 hours long is actually 25 hours long. What does it look like if you graph it for a whole year? I wanted to find out. So what I wanted to make was not just a picture, but a program that would let me put in an equation and then let the computer draw the graph. This is called an “analytical chart” since it's used for analysis. But how do you do that? I knew how. Don't forget I have long had a university degree in electrical engineering, along with a few other degrees. And for over 50 years I have been a licensed radio engineer, fixing and repairing radios and radio stations. Those kind of engineers know how to draw analytical charts. It's part of the job to analyze electrical circuits. You enter into the computer the equation of a circuit. You then use a tool like an oscilloscope which draws pictures of the current actually going through the circuit. And if the two pictures don't match, then you know there is something wrong with your circuit. I already knew what the chart was supposed to look like. Back in 1986, I began to take my temperature with a thermometer every hour on the hour, all day long for several years. I graphed many of those measurements. I showed those charts to several doctors. They were amazed. Back in the 1980's doctors didn't know that the body and brain temperature go up and down every day and night. They were taught in medical school that the body temperature is supposed to be 98.6 degrees, and that's that. Any other temperature meant you had a fever or something else and were sick. I showed them pictures of my fever charts and my normal daily charts. They all went up and down every day and night. None of the circadian rhythm experts had expected that. They all thought that the body's circadian clock had to do with hormones and chemicals in the brain and body. So that's what they measured. None of them ever thought to look at the temperature changes in the brain and how that was connected to human behavior. So I knew I wanted an analytical equation which produced a chart that went up in the morning to about 98 degrees and then sort of wavered all day long about a degree or so with the average of 98.6. Then in the evening it dropped down to about 95 degrees during sleep. But how do I make that chart? It looks something like a curve called a square wave. It jumps up in the morning, stays pretty flat, then drops down at night and again stays kind of flat at night, and then jumps up again the next morning. But how do you draw the curve of a square wave? Well, not to get too technical, but to synthesize a square wave you simply add up all the odd harmonics of the base frequency wave. Alright, so that's too technical. What that means is that I draw a curve of the base frequency sine wave which is 24 hours. In my final version of this article I will show pictures of what that looks like so you can see and understand what it means. This first step is simply a sine curve with the frequency of 24 hours. It rises up during the day with a peak at noon, then drops down and hits a bottom at midnight. Not a very useful picture but I called that Clock 1 of the circadian rhythm. It's the place to start. The next step is to add in the next odd harmonic. That is the third harmonic, or one-third of 24 hours, which is a sine wave with a length of 8 hours. That picture shows the curve reaching a peak about 10 o'clock in the morning then trailing off in the afternoon, and then dropping to a bottom about 4 o'clock in the morning. Again not a very useful picture and this adding of the 24 hour clock and the 8 hour clock, I called Clock 1 plus Clock 2. Then I added the next clock. This is the next odd harmonic or the 5th harmonic, or one-fifth of 24 hours, which is a sine wave with a length of 4.8 hours, or 4 hours and 48 minutes. A rather strange number but that is 1/5 of 24. I call that Clock 3. When I added up all three clocks and drew the chart on my computer, I did not get a perfect square wave. But, I was stunned and amazed at what I saw. The chart that the computer drew was exactly the same as the charts which I had shown the doctors of my own temperature measurements. They were not perfect circadian square waves, they were curves with rounded edges, slowly rising in the morning and evening, and slightly varied during the day. The chart showed exactly three peaks during the day, at around 6:00 am, exactly at noon, and around 6:00 pm. This corresponded to when we eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. It explained why humans eat three meals a day and not just two, five or seven meals. Other cultures have learned variations which I will explain in a moment. The chart also showed two minor temperature dips in between the three daytime peaks. These occurred about 10 o'clock in the morning and 2 o'clock in the afternoon. What happens at those times? People's brain temperature starts to drop, they lose concentration and become tired. It's time for a coffee or tea break. This is usually accompanied by a light snack, donut, cookie or scone. The coffee, tea or coke are mild stimulants which raise the brain temperature. The light meal will trigger the release of insulin which causes tryptophan to go into the brain which raises the level brain serotonin. It slightly raises the temperature of the brain. We regain the ability to concentrate and think, and we go back to work, after our short coffee break. Suddenly my analytical chart of Clocks 1, 2, and 3 was starting to show that it actually predicts and explains normal human behavior. I then with just a single number raised the level or the amount of Clock 3. This produced a curve with not much day/night difference, but with 6 humps or daily temperature rises, centered around 98.6 degrees F. This looked like the chart of a newborn infant. Babies eat about 6 meals a day. For the first several months, parents of newborns know you need to set the clock for several baby feedings in the middle of the night. Parents hope and pray that this will soon go away and not go on forever. Next, on my chart, I slightly reduced the level of Clock 3. Two of the peaks went away. It looked more like just three peaks in the daytime and only one in the middle of the night. This was similar to the chart of a 3 to 6 month old infant. Again, slightly reducing the amount of Clock 3, produced a chart with three daytime peaks but with strong dips in between. This was the chart of a 2 to 4 year old toddler. There were three main daytime meals like and adult, but the strong morning and afternoon dips in temperature were turned into morning and afternoon nap times often with a short snack of cookies and milk. Reducing Clock 3 again produced the the chart of kindergartener or pre-schooler. The morning dip becomes a snack time and the afternoon temperature dip remains an afternoon nap. By age 7 or 8, the amount of Clock 3 becomes about equal to the other two clocks and begins to look like the chart of an adult. Both the morning and afternoon dips in brain temperature are changed from nap times to snack breaks, or recess or even in adults they remain as coffee or tea breaks. Unbelievably, what this shows is that our circadian rhythm which control our behavior is not one circadian clock -- it is the sum effect of three clocks. Circadian rhythm researchers for decades have long sought the “holy grail” of circadian studies, the “circadian clock” but so far have never found it. Is it hormonal, or genetic, or even learned behavior? Nobody knows. But here's a clue for researchers, look in the hypothalamus for three chemicals which control brain temperature. They are precursors for the production of serotonins, which control brain temperature. They are chemical oscillators with natural frequencies of 24, 8 and 4.8 hours. The chemical effect of the output from the sum of those three clocks together IS the circadian clock. Much of learned human behavior is about suppressing the effect of Clock 3. Parents of neonate infants try to suppress all those meals and wake times in the middle of the night. Parents of toddlers suppress morning and afternoon naps by turning them into snack times, which slightly raise the serotonin levels and raise the brain temperature. Some cultures have different solutions. Central Americans often suppress Clock 3 by enhancing Clock 2. This turns an afternoon snack time into an actual nap or Siesta. Some Italians often skip breakfast and then replace it with a very late dinner about 9 o'clock at night. This actually exists in almost all cultures, as a remnant of Clock 3, but it's often called “raiding the fridge” before going to bed. Thus humans are controlled by their own circadian clocks, but they also have the ability to shift or suppress certain of the circadian clocks. Learned cultural behaviors can produce changes in the circadian rhythms. This is what makes humans different from animals. Animals do not have the ability to control their own circadian rhythms, but humans can and often do. For this reason, the many decades of circadian rhythm research using lab animal models has been a waste of time. The data from animal rhythm studies have no application to human beings. We all know about Jet Lag. We travel from one time zone to another. If we travel from New York to Tokyo, Japan we experience a complete reversal of day and night time. We arrive in Tokyo at what we think should be bedtime, but instead everybody in Japan is just waking up for breakfast. You try to attend a morning business meeting in Tokyo, but your body says “It's the middle of the night. My body and brain are asleep.” Your boss wonders why you didn't meet your sales goal at that Tokyo meeting. You don't tell your boss you slept through the meeting. But humans can adjust and control their circadian clocks. You shift the time you wake up. To adjust to Tokyo time, you set the alarm clock about an hour earlier each day and also eat breakfast an hour earlier. After a week or so you are now waking up and having breakfast at midnight. But when you get on the plane for Tokyo you sleep most of the flight and then arrive in Tokyo at breakfast time and are now ready to go to the business meeting. But try to get a lab rat to shift his circadian rhythms. He can't do it. You can't just say, “Mr. Rat, shift your circadian cycle ahead four hours.” But you can shift your own, by setting your alarm clock ahead. For animals, the only way to shift the circadian clock is to change the schedule of light and dark in the lab. Many people can do it without changing the light/dark schedule, but just using the alarm clock. The few people who can't do that are called Winter People with “winter depression” -- they also need the morning lights. My computer model with the three clocks showed that it seemed to explain and demonstrate human circadian rhythms. Simply by changing one number, the amount of Clock 3, I could make charts which seemed to match the behavior of new born infants, young children and then adults. But what about Winter People, with long circadian cycles, or airplane travelers who suffer jet lag. Could I also use my computer model to see what happens to human circadian cycles when they are shifted in time. Yes. Simply by changing one number I could make each clock, Clock 1, Clock 2, or Clock 3, start at a different time from the other clocks. By just changing another number I could change the lengths of the clocks from their usual 24, 12 and 4.8 hour length. But what did it show or mean? I could show the shifting of clocks, such as creating or curing Jet Lag. I could make slightly longer clocks which looked like the sleep/wake reversals of Winter People. If I shift Clock 3, about an hour forward or back, it produces a minor Jet Lag effect, but it then drives the other two cycles and then they synchronize within several days. We do this twice each year when we switch from normal to daylight savings time in April, and then back to standard time again in October. It is probably the October switch from daylight savings at the end of October which triggers the onset of Season Affective Disorder in most Winter People. What I did not expect was the radical change in the circadian cycle when I shifted Clock 2 compared to the other two clocks. When Clock 2 is shifted forward one hour, there is an extreme rise in brain temperature about 9:30 am to 10:00 am and then followed by an extreme drop from 10:00 am to 10:30 am. This sudden rapid rise in the morning is about several degrees above normal quickly followed by a dip several degrees below normal. All the rest of the day except for this one hour in the morning seems to be normal. If Clock 2 is shifted back, instead of forward, the sudden rise and drop in brain temperature appears in the afternoon about 2:00 pm, and the rest of the day the circadian pattern seems normal. What could this sudden rise then drop in brain temperature mean for human behavior? What happens when the brain temperature suddenly rises? We call this being feverish. We may go in and out of consciousness. We may hallucinate and see strange visions. This is often caused by high fevers due to viral infections. It is the primary effect of antidepressants to slightly raise the brain temperature. But it can also be due to drugs or drug interactions. A typical street drug which raises the brain temperature is called MDMA, or street named Ecstasy or simply “E.” This raises the brain temperature to about 101 degrees F and produces a heightened sense of well-being. But a second dose of E will suddenly raise the brain temperature to about 105 to 107 degrees. This quickly produces a feverish hallucinatory state immediately followed by brain death at 107 degrees. Is this sudden and rapid increase in brain temperature what happened to Natalee Holloway in Aruba last year in the summer of 2005? Despite a whole year of Fox New's Greta Van Sustren, blaming the boys for killing Natalee, it seems that the police finally admitted that “drugs” were involved. But what drugs? It seems nobody asked Natalee's friends which drugs. Van Sustren made the mistake most people make in calling MDMA or Ecstasy, the old common name “the date rape drug.” That is an old misnomer from the 1980's. But actually, since the mid-1990's Ecstasy has become a drug of choice among most high school girls. The girls take it themselves -- they don't wait for the boys to give it to them. And how do I know? I spent 6 years on the Internet CuSeeMe video chat program with hundreds of teens around the world. Usually E, methamphetamines or crack cocaine were used one or more times by almost all the teens. Around 2001, E became the preferred drug, since it was much cheaper than crack. Those drugs were brain temperature raisers or mood enhancers. But E has the bad side-effect that a double dose, can cause brain death in about an hour or so. Actually, in 2001, this was the focus of one of the episodes of Dawson's Creek. It was a warning story for the teen audience. One of the girls on the program had taken E. She seemed Ecstatic at a rave party, but then passed out. She was rushed to the hospital and saved at the last second from a soaring brain temperature and sudden death. That was the focus of that whole TV episode of the Creek. Why? Because it was such a common event at rave parties in the last 10 years, that thousands of teens had died from overdosing with Ecstasy. That episode was a warning to the teens to be careful when playing with MDMA. Fox's Greta Van Sustren who claims, that it's always boys or men who are responsible for all the bad things that happen to women, should watch that episode of the teens at the rave party. Did I tell you I once watched 500 hours of Dawson's Creek and took notes about typical teen behavior? Oh, I did. Just checking. OK, so we looked at some extreme examples of what happens when there is a rapid and sudden rise in brain temperature. So what happens when there is a sudden and rapid drop in brain temperature. If the sudden drop is low enough then there is actual sleep. This is similar to narcolepsy where the person suddenly falls asleep. With a lesser drop in temperature the person may experience lucid dreaming, sort of a half way state between being awake and being asleep and dreaming. This lucid dreaming may include fanciful visions from the dream state being built around the objects seen in the simultaneous conscious state. As noted earlier, a mild drop in brain temperature is accompanied by a loss of concentration, or mild day-dreaming and these seem to accompany the morning and afternoon temperature dips at coffee break times around 10 am and 2 pm. So those are some examples of the human behavior during extreme to mild temperature drops in brain temperature. What happens to people when we combine the two events, a rapid rise and then a sudden drop in brain temperature, all in a period of about an hour? What if this is the common result of shifting Clock 2 compared to the other two clocks? What if shifting Clock 2 backward or forward is the usual result of taking an SSRI anti-depressant and then suddenly stopping the drug? Nobody has ever asked that question before, so let's take a look. Does this account for the strange events called “Alien Abductions?” During the rapid rise in brain temperature the individual sees strange visions of people and events. Then during the rapid drop in brain temperature the individual enters a lucid dream state, something like sleep walking, and then begins to interact with the people and events seen in the previous high temperature state just minutes before. Could this explain another common event called “flashbacks?” Ralph, was a Vietnam era veteran. One day he is shopping at the mall store. He wanders up and down the aisles looking for his purchase. Suddenly his brain temperature rises, and he sees five “Viet Cong” dressed in black, sneaking down the aisle. He is transformed back to Vietnam with his squad of buddies sleeping in a night time bivouac He can't call out to his sleeping buddies since that would alert the oncoming enemy. He can't find his rifle. His brain temperature lowers. He remembers the revolver in his pocket. With rapid fire he uses his revolver to kill the Viet Cong sneaking over the hill, and he saves the lives of his his squad of buddies. His brain temperature returns to normal and he sees that he has just shot and killed five K-Mart shoppers gathered around the Blue Light Special. Is it possible that the shift in Clock 2 is what brought on the “flashback?” Ralph has no idea what happened and can't explain it. He is arrested by the police and locked away, probably for life. What about another similar event which has occurred in increasing numbers since the invention of SSRI antidepressants, “Going Postal.” A worker walks or sneaks into his place of business, carrying several rifles or hand guns, and several bags of ammunition, seemingly ready for an assault. He begins shooting randomly and kills numerous employees, and then may or may not kill himself. Is this related to the shift in Clock 2, with the sudden rapid rise and then drop in brain temperature? One clue would be that most of these lethal events occur at the Clock 2 shift time of 9:30 in the morning or 2:30 in the afternoon, but not at noon, or 5:30 closing time. Is this true? I don't have access to that information, but there are a lot of doctors, psychiatrists and lawyers connected with these cases who do have such pertinent information as: the individual's birthday, were they previous users of SSRI's, and the time of day when the psychotic event started. These important facts are usually not reported in the press. These facts are usually considered private or confidential personal client or patient information and usually are not obtainable by asking. I have tried asking, and am usually told, “I can't tell you that.” But there are people who do have that information. Nobody has ever put that information together to find out what happened. But to do that, you would have to know about circadian rhythms and about shifting Clock 2. Is what happened to Andrea Yates in 2001 a form of “going postal” at her place of employment?” In this case her place of employment was home, and her job was taking care of five children. Is what happened to Andrea that, about 9:30 am her brain temperature suddenly rose, she saw demons or devils, one of them told her the only way to save her children from “going to hell” was to kill them before they sinned – that was the only way to save them from sinning and going to hell. Her brain temperature suddenly lowered and she sleep-walked through an event of obeying the demon's instructions. Her brain temperature returned to normal and she calls her husband and the police to say that she had just drowned her children. That may sound very strange, but that is exactly what she stated in her 2001 videotaped statement to a court psychiatrist. But no psychiatrist could explain it, since no psychiatrist knows about the circadian rhythms with three clocks, and the result of shifting Clock 2 caused by taking and then stopping an SSRI antidepressant. The psychiatrists don't have a clue. For some five or six years I have observed the behavior of many Winter People, some of them Extreme Winter People. In many cases I was able to predict when they were going to change their employment or career, and even their relationships such as with husbands or boyfriends. In some cases I actually told some of my Winter friends about my predictions. But I did so in the arcane imagery in a strange poem or song. I told them that this is what is see in your life two years or five years from now. Years later, I point out that what they had just done was what I had predicted in the strange images of the song several years before. I tried to cloak the image so it would not appear as a prediction. I did not want them to simply follow some plan which I had planted in their mind. When I do point out that I had correctly predicted their future behavior, a strange thing happens. They quit talking to me. It seems fairly consistent behavior. My assumption is that most people just don't want to believe that their behavior is predictable. Most people want to believe that they are the ones who make the choices about what happens in their lives. It turns out that this may be a false assumption. To prove scientifically that an individual's behavior is predictable far into the future goes against modern psychiatry, medicine and most people's personal belief system. Most people believe that you are the one who makes the choices in your life. If I told you that, based on when you were born, based on the length of your circadian rhythms, based on observations of the length of the day as shown by the calendar, and the observations of shifts and reversals of the earth's magnetic field, I could predict your feelings and behavior far into the future – How you you respond....?
