About this book

Life in the Womb: The Origin of Health and Disease by Nathanielsz, Peter W.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780916859565.

A story that will change your ideas about health and disease. Full of revolutionary and iconoclastic ideas impacting all our lives and the lives of generations of children as yet unborn. * How we are ushered into life will affect how we leave it. * Diseases such as diabetes can be passed transgenerationally from mother to daughter and from daughter to granddaughter by nongenetic mechanisms. * The idea that our health is programmed in the womb is supported by life-time health records of babies born at the beginning of this century which show that birthweight is closely linked to health in later life.
