Today I fell down a rabbit hole about Rockefeller (and JP Morgan, but Morgan was a boring crook in comparison to the former)
What I need you to understand is that often we are wondering why there seems to be a significant rise in neurodivergence, dna mutations, and birth defects. But when we look at Rockefellers legacy of turning petroleum into medicine, into fertilizer, into control⦠we see the underlying factor that farmers were forced into his fertilizer monopoly and in the process the lands our foods are grown in were stripped of their soils nutrients. Most importantly VITAMIN B2, a key cofactor for the MTHFR gene that acts as a master switch for methylation.
When B2 is stripped from the soil by petroleum fertilizers, the entire biological chain breaks down:
DNA Mutations & Birth Defects: Riboflavin is essential for the body to process folate. Without enough B2, the methylation cycle stalls, leading to high homocysteine levels and increased risks of neural tube defects and DNA replication errors.
The ADHD Connection: B2 is a key player in the production of neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin. A deficiency can lead to "brain fog" and executive function struggles, which are often labeled and medicated as ADHD rather than being treated as a foundational nutritional deficit.
The Energy Gap: B2 is the "R" in FAD (Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide), which is basically the spark plug for your mitochondria. When you're low on it, your cells canβt produce energy efficiently, leading to the chronic fatigue and "low-battery" feeling so common today.
The fact that B2 levels in crops have dropped by nearly 40% since the 1950s suggests we aren't just dealing with a "mental health crisis," but a nutritional hijacking. Instead of restoring the soil to fix the B2, the current system offers a pharmaceutical "patch" (like Ritalin or Adderall) that doesn't address the underlying DNA vulnerability.
Thatβs not to say that neurodivergence, in my mind, is a deficit. I believe it is an adaptive and hive evolutionary profileβ¦ but I believe that the stripping of essential nutrients paired with our tendency away from organ meats, makes us more susceptible to chronically dysregulated forms of these adaptations, sometimes even showing up as profound autism. Worse still, is that the medicine they treat peut nutrient deficiencies with are known to be both carcinogenic and endocrine disrupting chemicals. (And donβt even get me started on the legislative and educational disaster he created in our doctoral system)
Hormonal Interference: EDCs mimic or block natural hormones, which can lead to aberrant gene expression and increased risks of hormone-related cancers, such as breast, prostate, and testicular cancer.
Toxic Impurities: Many petroleum-derived ingredients, such as petrolatum (petroleum jelly), can be contaminated with Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) if not fully refined. These PAHs are known carcinogens that can damage DNA and trigger tumor growth.
Hidden Carcinogens: Research shows that certain petroleum-derived products release "hidden" carcinogens like benzene and ethylbenzene, especially when exposed to heat, which can lead to leukemia and lymphoma.
The way forward is away from petroleum based agriculture and medicine, and towards more sustainable earth centric practices. It is more important than ever that we turn to our Indigenous brothers and sisters to help us remember the balance of guardianship both to eachother and the earth. To remember that earth carries our greatest medicines when we live in harmony with her gifts and wisdom. We must move away from modern pharmacology for not only our health, but the health of all, as we poison the water and jeopardize life here at accelerating rates.
EDIT: What I failed to realize here is that there is new hope budding! All of these systems are starting to be dismantled by people who care π the WHO Traditional Medicine Strategy, the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, Rights of Nature/ Legal Personhood and efforts around the globe to recognize traditional medicine practitioners as an asset and not a threat to healthcare, the world is slowly healing. But itβs still important to know the mechanics of what weβre dealing with as the illusions and deceptions of billionaire culture are unveiled.
