Survival - What's Really Missing?

The concept of survival hasn't been adequately addressed. Most people have no idea what survival means. I am trying to reintroduce primal principles, principles that relate to human survival. These are heavy and weighty issues, issues that need discussion. I want to pose these questions and bring back a sense of proportion and priority into modern life. I believe I can contribute an understanding as to what is missing. When it comes to human nutrition, I can bring focus and awareness to critical issues that are currently ignored. What is it that really needs to be done? Again, the answers lie not in the future but in our distant past. In today's world we are not deficient in zinc, we are not deficient in selenium, we are not deficient in vitamins - what we are deficient in is certain critical elements that existed 10,000 years ago, when humans reached peak genetic development. Now many of these critical nutrients, obtained from foods and herbs, don't exist. And those critical nutrients that still exist are largely ignored. What is missing or ignored in today's dietary approach? Certain hormonally modulating and toning herbs, herb that once were consumed on a widespread basis; herbs such as Passion Flower Extract or Chamomile Extract or Shilijit, which is also known as Mineral Pitch. These herbs are hardly used or known of today. Nowadays there is zero appreciation for the various root vegetables and extracts. These amazingly effective and beneficial nutrients remain largely ignored in modern nutritional strategies. Foods such as nuts and seeds, foods that once were mainstays of human diets, the most primary sources of fuel and nutrients of the early human diet, have fallen into complete nonuse or misuse.
