HOW THE BUSINESS OF WESTERN MEDICINE WAS CREATED
You’ve seen complaints about Western medicine, prescription drugs, doctors, etc.
It seems as though doctors no longer look for the root cause: they just prescribe medication to slap a bandaid on whatever symptoms you’re having.
With all the holistic healing methods out there, how did we get to this point? Where hundreds of thousands of people are dying from prescription medications every year?
Look no further.
It all starts with one man. John D Rockefeller.
Known as “the wealthiest American of all time”, and is most famous for monopolizing America’s oil market.
What most people don’t know is his influence on modern medicine.
In 1900, Rockefeller controlled about 90% of all petroleum refineries in America. During this time, scientists were discovering the potential of “petrochemicals” and their ability to create all kinds of things.
Meanwhile, scientists were doing great work to understand basic human health. It was around this time that the most essential vitamins were discovered, like vitamin A, C, D, B1, B2, etc.
By identifying these, medicine took a step forward by enabling simple vitamin remedies to cure conditions that were caused by deficiencies.
Scientists then began creating synthetic versions of these; in 1935, vitamin C became the first vitamin to be artificially synthesized.
Rockefeller, being the business man he was, saw great potential here with the possibility of creating vitamins and medications using petroleum.
This was ideal from a business perspective because they could be patented and sold for high profits.
He had one problem, though. Natural and herbal medicines were very popular in America. 50% of medical schools and doctors were practicing holistic medicine, using knowledge from Europe, Native American traditions, India, China and the Middle East.
Rockefeller knew that, to get control of the medical industry, he’d have to eliminate the competition.
He started by using his oil money to purchase part of the German pharmaceutical company IG Farben. (Research this company and its involvement in WW2 & the Holocaust).
To eliminate the competition, he hired a contractor named Abraham Flexner to submit a report to Congress in 1910. This report claimed that all natural healing modalities that have existed for hundreds of years were unscientific quackery.
The report called for the standardization of medical education, where the AMA (another monopoly) would be the ones granting licenses to the medical schools.
Congress acted upon Flexner’s report and changed the laws to make allopathic medicine the standard.
Once legal changes were made, Rockefeller teamed up with Andrew Carnegie and started funding medical schools all over America with one condition: that they only taught allopathic medicine.
Through the power of money and huge grants, they systematically dismantled schools of natural medicine. Teachings on diet and herbal treatments were also removed from medical programs.
Rockefeller then went on a smear campaign, paying off the journalists and newspapers to discredit and demonize natural medicines. He even had doctors put in jail for using it.
During British India, many Veds and Hakeems were hanged in order to destroy natural herbal remedies to be replaced by synthetic chemicals.
In a very short time, all medical schools across the West were converted. Medicine was now defined as a process of prescribing drugs.
In short: Rockefeller’s work crushed underfunded natural medicine practitioners and created our current medical system.
The system continues today, where big pharma makes large “donations” to the medical schools in exchange for teaching students to prescribe their drugs.
Knowing this, it is no surprise that we are sicker than ever. “Patients” are now treated like consumers. People are dying from overdoses as much as car accidents.
So—whenever you’re skeptical of a system, follow the money.
