Michel Odent, the leading pioneer for natural childbirth, indicates
that the period between conception and a child's first birthday is
critical to life-long health. In this prophetic book - first
published in 1986 and reproduced here in its original form - he
argues that different parts of the 'primal adaptive system'
develop, regulate and adjust themselves during foetal life and the
time around birth and infancy. 'Everything which happens during
this period of dependence on the mother has an influence on this
basic state of health, this primal health.' He suggests that the
later well-being of adults, their ability to withstand the
'diseases of civilization' such as hypertension, cancer, alcoholism
and failures of the immune system resulting in AIDS, allergies and
viral diseases, can all be traced back to society's ignorance of
the vital importance of the primal period. Since the first edition
of this groundbreaking work, research has continued apace, offering
further evidence to substantiate Odent's ideas. In the important
new "Introduction and Postscript", the author reviews recent
developments and relates them to the central themes of Primal
Health. This book is essential reading for all who care about the
health of our children and the ongoing health of society as a
whole.
