»The rhythmic recurrence of disease is an age-old problem. It puzzled ancient physicians who supposed the rhythm to be controlled by cosmic influences... A number of factors suggest a unity of periodic disorders: The cycles and episodes are of similar duration, they usual are benign, they often begin in childhood, recur unchanged for decades and heredity occasionally is evident. There is an overlapping of symptoms and signs in many of the disorders often great enough at times to confuse classification.« (Aus Reimann 1951: »Periodic Disease «).
