Primal Prevention:
Breaking off our greed-governed world helps you forge a freedom your children will make viral
The facts
It has long been recognized that a person's social skills reveal themselves at an early age [1]. We now discover that these, as also self-confidence, health and resilience are elaborated from conception [29] on, through primal-period epigenetic processes whose outcome will be optimum provided the humoral-tactile-affective environment within maternal whomb and beyond won't have been disturbed. On the contrary, especially when genitors or caregivers will have undergone chronic stress during the primal period of a new human being, the latter will suffer handicaps [2, 3, 4, 5] that will also burden relatives and the community. Comparable ill effects of genitors' stress have been observed in other primates and mammals [6, 7, 8, 9, 10].
Primal prevention consists in future parents taking measures that'll help them keep out of societal stress [65] during their coming child's primal period. Such a health promotion par excellence will benefit their offspring in the early processes of its building a serene personality, lifelong resilience [60], good psychic and somatic healths in the first place, and then this future adult's own family and community.

A challenge
Young adults may find it difficult to escape chronic stress and its various consequences for the child they're about to conceive. In the absence of adequate social laws, most of these new parents might contemplate to call on third-type kin caregiving to meet the challenge of primal prevention.
As a matter of fact, it is hard to understand how public-health professionals and economic partakers – who largely determine the decisions of politicians – may still behave, in our developed countries, as if they ignored the distant early warning arising from our new understanding of life sciences [64]. Or is it ? Still, this new understanding will prove much more decisive, for our future, than the rather naïve one which leads these traditionalists and a gullible majority to consider the so-called personalysed medicine a solution, more than a social deadlock .

What will change
Disquieting results of social-epidemiology observations in developed countries [16] will have to be interpreted as reflecting the overall effects of societal stress via its early epigenetic impacts on all of us during our primal life. Privileged young people already allowed to take a career break during their child’s primal period may be the first sign that a major cultural blind spot is about to be cured [11]. Sooner or later primal prevention will become common practice because eveyone will have not only the desire, but also the undefiled possibility to devote their sustained attention to their coming child in an affectively secure environment. As recently stated by Thomas Sowell [69] : "The amount of parental attention a child gets makes a huge difference in the future".
