"Nearly 90 percent of suicide attempts among high school students are attributable to ACEs, as are 80 percent of adult suicides, translating to 109 suicides per day."
"Advanced epidemiological calculations rank ACEs as the number one cause of death in America, killing 1401 Americans each day, more than half a million yearly."
"Menard calculates that ACEs steal more years of American life than heart disease, cancer, stroke, and accidents combined."
"We spend billions annually fighting the 'smoke'—the diseases resulting from ACEs—while largely ignoring the 'flames,' which are ACEs themselves."
Michael Menard's life story illustrates resilience, rising from a challenging childhood to a vice president at Johnson and Johnson. He emphasizes the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on well-being, claiming they are humanity's greatest threat. ACEs contribute to high rates of suicide and other health issues, with significant mortality rates in America. Menard argues that while billions are spent on treating diseases caused by ACEs, the root causes remain largely unaddressed, leading to a substantial economic burden on society.
