Some bullet points and a meme

Thanks for posting this, Michael. I would say: "Be ACEs science informed!" It's a more informed and powerful place to be.

ACEs are just one part of the picture. Brain science, health consequences, epigenetic consequences (passed from parent to child, and through communities and systems for generations), and resilience research complete it.

Also, I'm not sure where you're getting your data, but the original ACE Study showed that 66 percent of people have at least one ACE, and 12 percent have an ACE score of 4 or more. However, that changes with different demographics, and, as you know, there are way more than 10 ACEs, so that it's likely that the numbers are higher.

Thank you Jane Stevens. Sorry I got my numbers off. There are many studies and many facts. In one study I remember it said that 23% of women were raped or molested. In a different study from the 70s the number of times the average child is told no in the US by year 18 is 56,000. That is a lot of discord input. In another study on genetics and disease they found that only 1% of all disease is genetic. All the rest are from the environment and emotional issues one would be lead to believe .  Who knows yet the real deal?  It would be worth having a look.
