Does 'Werewolf Syndrome' actually exist?


Does 'Werewolf Syndrome' actually exist?

For centuries, people have documented and depicted human werewolves with great interest.

[A curious and fortunately rare genetic disorder where body hair becomes out of control.]

Sad isn't it...

CHL has no connection to the phases of the moon, and there is definitely no genetic connection to wolves. The majority of sufferers present only with excessive hairiness; however, some exhibit symptoms that include delayed eruption of teeth, hearing impairment, glaucoma, pyloric stenosis, skeletal abnormalities, and abnormal skin pigmentation. No other abnormalities of human organ systems are typically associated with CHL.

The severity of CHL may decrease or increase with age. Treatment usually consists of cosmetic intervention, such as electrolysis, laser hair removal, and depilation, as there is no cure for this affliction.

Could this disorder be some kind of genetic throwback to our common ancestors with apes? Some people are born with tails after all?

Possibly... I'm not trying to be funny...that picture of the boy/man looks a lot like our poodle mix in the face. Buddy has those pleading looking eyes.

Possibly these poor people actually have wolf/dog of some sort in them.

My hubby has that tailbone dimple(sacral dimple) where his mom always said a tail should/could have grown.

It is a genetic mutation but they don't know how far back as it's so rare and hard to study. I read they have found it is on the X chromosone and on a Chinese man they found to many genes on the chromosone.

Terrible luck to be inflicted with such a disorder. Life is certainly not fair.

Which is why the religious explain it by blaming the victim or his/her family for sinning.

because they explain a hursuite child as being a result of ancestoral sin rather than one of its ancestors actually being a dog?

"Possibly these poor people actually have wolf/dog of some sort in them."


'Your great grand father was a sinner' or 'your great grandfather was a dog'

I know which suggestion I find more insulting
