For thousands of years, humans relied on the medicine of the earth. Plants, herbs, fermentation, sunlight, grounding, breathwork. Healing wasnât outsourced to a white coat. It was local, intuitive, ancestral. Your great-grandmother could identify plants for fever, wounds, digestion, childbirth, pain, anxiety, and infection, without needing a prescription.
That all changed in 1910.
The Flexner Report, funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, systematically dismantled holistic, homeopathic, and herbal schools across North America. Why? Because you canât patent a plant. But you can patent a pill, especially when itâs derived from petroleum, which Rockefellerâs empire was built on.
Overnight, natural healing was smeared as âunscientific.â Herbalists were rebranded as quacks. Ancient remedies were erased. Western medicine was restructured to revolve around pharmaceutical intervention, and anything outside of that model was buried.
We were taught to fear the very medicine our ancestors trusted. To see nature as primitive. To see pills as progress.
But the truth is, the synthetic compounds in many modern drugs are just lab-mimicked versions of plant compounds. Aspirin is synthetic willow bark. Morphine is synthetic poppy. Antibiotics are derivatives of mold. But instead of working with nature, pharmaceutical science isolates, modifies, and monetises.
Thatâs not to say all of modern medicine is useless. Emergency trauma care is life-saving. Surgery is remarkable. But the system was never designed to make you well, it was designed to manage symptoms with lifelong dependency.
We are now generations deep into a model that sees profit in sickness, not wellness. One that rarely asks why youâre unwell, only what drug you can take next.
Nature was never the alternative. It was the blueprint. The body recognises real. The body responds to what it evolved with. When you support the body instead of suppressing symptoms, true healing happens.
They tried to erase herbalism. But itâs still here. Because the truth always survives.
