The lunar effect is a similarly touted environmental factor.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_effectMore motorbike crashes, more crime and apparently your blood doesn't clot as well, although this was rebuffed by the royal college of surgeons(who may know better)
When I saw the articles it reminded me of the so called "Lunar Effect" as well, but instead of the moon it's the sun, and instead of "tidal forces" it is "Schumann resonances" and magnetism. The Lunar Effect has been talked about for ages. I'm wondering why all of a sudden there seem to be studies cropping up within the past 2-3 years making claims that geomagnetic storms cause pretty much every health problem imaginable. They're done by different authors in different countries, but they always seem to use the same terms and focus on Earth's magnetic field as the culprit for all these negative effects on the human body.First time hearing of "heliobiology" as well, which is apparently what this field of science is.

Maybe a similar reason for crime, full moons where always good for night time activities, other than covert operations, maybe it is the fact that more people get caught under a full moon.If pace makers are affected by magnetism, perhaps a small percentile of pacemakers go ponto?
The studies aren't talking about people with pacemakers, though. They're implying the fluctuations in Earth's magnetic field during solar flares causes disruptions in human nervous systems and hearts (without pacemakers) similar to how they disrupt power grids.

The theories always seem to involve Schumann resonances, fluctuations in Earth's magnetic field, and the pineal gland. As to the exact mechanism these articles never go into detail about that.

I'm not sure how this is relevant to the topic of geomagnetic storms causing health problems.
