Our birthright based on 4.5 billion years of as successful evolutionary development is to start life with a strong hand, with health and high function.

Of course, everybody has strengths and weaknesses. The job of medicine and the job of a healthy culture is to pass on the sacred knowledge that will allow you to play to your Strengths. Sacred knowledge helps you address your unique genetic composition such that you, and your succeeding generations, will express a powerful and healthy life. Of course, tragic congenital problems and accidents happen. But for most of us the potential exists for optimum health and a high athletic performance and great stamina.

Most traditional cultures value community. These are parts of real culture and good living. The myth is that good food is slow or boring. Well at least they know we were paying attention to the advertisements that tried to sell that load of foolishness. Without becoming Luddites we can question the wisdom of some of the changes that the mass marketing culture is trying to sell you to make profit.
