!Our Goal - To move families into action through education & awareness. Our goal is to increase education and awareness about the underlying triggers of chronic illnesses during the perinatal period and childhood. We recognize that education and awareness directly impact how families live, propelling them to make better, more informed choices.

What is ONE IN TWO? The ONE IN TWO movement was born out of a collaboration between AutismOne and The Brighton Institute. We are personally inviting you to join the movement and to stand with us.

Today, more than ONE IN TWO children suffers from chronic illness and ONE IN TWO is born with preventable birth defects. If present infertility trends continue, experts predict that over the next couple of decades as many as ONE IN TWO couples will be unable to conceive naturally. And according to MIT researchers, by 2025, ONE IN TWO newborns may suffer from medical autism, thanks in large part to the widespread use of the pesticide, glyphosate (RoundUp®).

Until now, we have allowed ourselves to be divided; we have allowed political rhetoric and scientism to confuse us even though we know in our hearts that such tactics are motivated by corporate interests vested in maintaining profits at the cost of our children. We say: No More!

Experts know what the primary triggers are for autism, birth defects, infertility, gut disorders, cancer, and other chronic degenerative illnesses, and yet the triggers keep right on blindsiding our families. Collectively, we are sacrificing future generations. We have the power to change all that. WE HAVE A CHOICE!

The good news is there are paths available to us that can restore our health and wellbeing, alleviate untold suffering, and ensure a bright future for our children. By taking action today, we can give our children the very best of ourselves.

We believe there is no love without action. Our children need both from each of us right now. Recognizing the fundamental relationships between humanity’s viability and the environment, we awaken to our roles as advocates for our children’s future.

The ONE IN TWO movement is committed to educating and inspiring millions of parents and future parents to transform their health, one small distinction at a time, sending ripples through existing and future generations - ripples that transform the course of humanity’s current history.

State of the Child For a complete list, visit ONE IN TWO.ORG !Our children are challenged like never before

1.Today, more than ONE IN TWO children is born with or develops one or more chronic health conditions - conditions for which lifetime care is often necessary.

2.Medical autism rates, now hovering around 1 in 20 boys, are rising exponentially, with scientists estimating that rates could reach ONE IN TWO newborns by 2025.

3.Medical autism and attention deficit disorder (ADD) are classified as psychological conditions, and our children are being placed on dangerous psychiatric drugs to control behavior, while the underlying medical conditions are ignored and left untreated.

4.Childhood ADD, sensory integration disorder, medical autism, and other learning disabilities now affect ONE IN

THREE children in many school districts.

5. According to the State of the World’s Mother Report, more than ONE IN TWO first-day deaths in industrialized nations happen in the United States. About 11,300 newborns die within 24 hours of their birth in the U.S. each year, and 1 in 2,400 women die from childbirth-related conditions — the same as Iran.

6. Published data have found that the more vaccines an infant receives before its first birthday, the more likely that infant is to die before the age of one.

7. Government agencies given the authority to investigate vaccine injuries have failed to fulfill their responsibilities to protect the public. The CDC has been compartmentalized to focus on reducing infectious disease rates, while practically ignoring the effects their widespread infectious disease programs have on contributing to chronic diseases.

8. Vaccines are being required for diseases that are functionally extinct or so benign that the likelihood of permanent disability or death is relatively nonexistent — especially when compared to the risk of autism, ADD, and seizures — while other vaccines are being injected into infants for diseases that can only be caught by sexually active adults.

9. The cost of our food has been artificially discounted by farm subsidies, which make GMO corn and soy products less expensive than an organic apple, while the real costs are egregiously passed on to families who suffer the health consequences of consuming nutrient-deficient, pesticide-ridden, fungal-infested foods.

10. Infertility now affects more than ONE IN FOUR couples, and couples who want to conceive are being told that expensive artificial reproductive technologies are their only solution.

11. As much as ONE IN TWO is infected with one or more enteropathogens including toxoplasma gondii, which has been linked to autism and schizophrenia. Proper diagnosis and treatment options exist but are not promoted among the population.

conference calls and making these tools available on the ONE IN TWO.org website.

Years from now, your children and grandchildren will thank you for doing whatever it took to be there on May 21st in Chicago. They will smile as they remember how you and your family took a stand - when you united with the rest of the country to affirm it is time that we all live with conviction of the heart. !
