The TrUNK of a nation

The trunk provides strength and stability, just as childhood health, informed consent, and medical freedom form the foundation of family well-being and human flourishing.

What’s at Risk:

• Parents—not governments or corporations—must have the right to make medical decisions for their children.

• Toxins in food, medicine, and the environment are fueling chronic illness in children.

• Families deserve access to true healing, not a lifetime of pharmaceutical dependence.

• Transparency in the medical field is essential to ensure families can make fully informed decisions about their health and medical choices.

Our Children Are at Risk: A Call to Action

Our nation’s future depends on the health and well-being of our children. Yet, we are witnessing an unprecedented crisis in childhood health—one that cannot be ignored.

Parents Must Have the Right to Make Health Decisions for Their Children—Not Governments or Corporations

Government agencies and corporate interests are rapidly expanding their influence over children’s healthcare, pushing pharmaceutical interventions over preventative wellness and stripping away parental rights to make informed medical decisions. Informed consent is under attack, and families are being coerced into medical choices without full transparency.

Toxins in Food, Medicine, and the Environment Are Fueling Chronic Illness in Children

The rate of chronic disease in children is skyrocketing, and the numbers are staggering:

• Rising Childhood Chronic Illness – Over 54% of U.S. children now suffer from at least one chronic illness, up from 10% in the 1980s

• Obesity Epidemic – The U.S. childhood obesity rate is twice the OECD average, with 1 in 5 children now classified as obese.

• The prevalence of childhood obesity in the United States is among the highest globally:​

  United States: Approximately 20.5% of children are classified as obese.​

  Global Comparison: In contrast, countries like Japan report significantly lower rates, with pediatric obesity prevalence at 3.9%.​

• Type 1 Diabetes Surge – The incidence of Type 1 diabetes in children has increased by nearly 50% since the 1980s, with scientists linking environmental toxins and processed food consumption to the rise.

• Life-Threatening Allergies – Food allergies, once rare, now affect 1 in 13 children, with severe, life-disrupting reactions at an all-time high (FARE).

Toxic exposures, ultra-processed foods, endocrine disruptors, and environmental pollutants are altering our children's biology before they even reach adulthood—setting them up for a lifetime of illness and pharmaceutical dependency.

Families Deserve Access to True Healing—Not Pharmaceutical Dependence

Instead of addressing root causes, our healthcare system funnels children into lifelong pharmaceutical treatment:

• 1 in 4 children is now on at least one prescription drug

• Childhood mental health disorders are soaring—the rate of adolescent major depression has increased by over 60% in the last decade

• Over 6.1 million U.S. children are diagnosed with ADHD, with stimulant prescriptions skyrocketing (CHADD).

• Psychiatric drug use among children is at an all-time high, despite limited long-term safety data.

Children are being raised on pharmaceuticals instead of nutrient-dense foods, preventative health, and holistic care. If we do not reverse this trajectory now, future generations will face even worse health outcomes.
