Do you have AMD? Let’s find out, shall we? Just answer the
following questions:
1. Do you like the water? (this means you like to swim,
bathe in water, drink water….)
2. Do you love it when it rains? (the wet drops falling from
the sky, the smell after a rainstorm,….)3. Do you love to eat seafood? (fish, crab, lobster, shrimp,….)
4. As a child did your parents have a hard time getting you out of the bathtub or pool?
5. Do you consider at least one if not all of these movies great: The Little Mermaid, Finding Nemo, Free Willy, Shark Tale, Dolphin Tale, Deep Blue Sea, Jaws, Pirates of the Caribbean, Titanic, The Poseidon Adventure, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, or Moby Dick?
6. Is your dream vacation/holiday somewhere near water? (such as a beach, a cruise, or on an island)
7. Did you know that up to 60% of the human body is water? (brains have 70% and lungs have 90%)
If you answered yes to at least 6 of the 7 questions, you
more than likely have AMD. What is AMD you ask? Well, it stands for Aquatic
Mammal Disorder. This is a brain disorder in which the brain slowly believes
that you are becoming an aquatic being. Before you start flittering around with
Flipper, you should know the following:
Although scientists are unsure of the direct cause of AMD,
recent studies have pointed to a chemical imbalance in the brain tissue. It is
believed that those who have less than 68% of water in the brain tissue (due to
the chemical imbalance) suffer from AMD symptoms. More research is needed to
verify this. So far, AMD is not life threatening – until the person believe
that he or she is an aquatic mammal,
in which case he/she tries to live in the ocean or other water source and
drowns. Do not worry. This only happens in 4 out of 5 cases.
If you feel that you or someone you know has AMD, please
alert your physician for possible treatments – even though there are none
available at this time.
