ABSTRACT
Biochemistry has become an objective common ground for understanding both nutritional and emotional imprints on a child from at least conception. Frank Lake's conviction that the impact of the mother's emotions was greatest in the trimester is objectively corroborated by Curt Sandman's studies. Objective evidence has accumulated on the physical effects of nutrient deficits or toxins on the embryo or fetus. Objective evidence has accumulated that violent behaviour arises from early psychological and physical conditions, having long remained merely anecdotal. The chapter deals with two kinds of evidence: hard scientific evidence such as double-blind controlled trials, and molecular evidence, such as biochemical interactions; subjective evidence from experience of life, particularly. Scans have revealed intense reactions of babies in the womb against toxins, nicotine, or alcohol. At any stage in the life-cycle, education focusing on the reproductive process can contribute to the health of subsequent generations.
