Primal Health Research
"Primal Health Research" explores correlations between
the 'primal period' (from conception until the first birthday) and
health in later life. In the book "Primal Health"
(first edition 1986)1 we predicted a new generation of research
confirming that our health is shaped during the primal period. In
order to prepare for a renewed understanding of health and diseases,
a simplified vocabulary was proposed (see
glossary). Today the point is not to anticipate a phenomenon,
but to observe its development and to draw preliminary conclusions.
From 1993 onwards, our quarterly newsletter did just that. Since
1998 a computerised database is a necessity.
It is not possible to identify the studies which belong to this
new framework through the usual scientific and medical networks,
because they are unrelated according to the current classifications.
For example it would take a long time - without appropriate keywords
- to find out that a pregnancy disease such as pre-eclampsia has
been studied in relation to health conditions as diverse as prostate
cancer, breast cancer, schizophrenia, mental retardation and cerebral
palsy.
