How John Rockefeller eliminated natural remedies and set up drug speculation
People these days find it strange whether you are talking about the healing properties of plants, their diet, their way of life, or traditional medical examples and holistic empirical practices.
As with everything else, there is a lot of politics and a lot of money behind our modern medical system.
It all starts with John D. Rockefeller (1839 - 1937) who was a majestic, baron, robber, America's first billionaire and monopoly monopoly.
By the 20th century, it controlled 90% of all oil refineries in the United States through its oil company, Standard Oil, which was later disbanded to become Chevron, Exxon, Mobil, etc.
At the same time, around 1900, scientists were discovering "petrochemicals" and the ability to create all kinds of materials and substances from oil.
For example, the first plastic - called Bakelite - was made from oil in 1907. Scientists then discovered various vitamins and saw that many medicines could be made from oil.
This was a wonderful opportunity for Rockefeller, who saw the opportunity to monopolize the oil, chemical and medical industries at the same time!
The most perfect thing about petrochemicals was that everything could be patented and sold at a high profit as proprietary commercial patents.
However, there was a problem with Rockefeller's plan for the medical industry: natural / herbal medicines were very popular in America at that time. Nearly half of physicians and medical colleges in the United States practiced holistic medicine, using knowledge from Europe and Native Americans.
Rockefeller, the monopolist, had to find a way to get rid of his biggest competitor. So he used the classic "solution-reaction-solution" strategy .
That is: " create a problem and scare people and then offer a (pre-programmed) solution ".
He went to his friend Andrew Carnegie - another plutocrat, who made his money from the steel monopoly - who devised a plan. From the famous Carnegie Institution , they sent a man named Abraham Flexner to travel across the country and record the state of medical colleges and hospitals in the United States.
This led to the Flexner exhibition , which gave birth to modern medicine as we know it.
Needless to say, the report spoke of the need to renew and consolidate medical institutions. According to this report, more than half of all medical colleges closed in a short time.
Homeopathy and natural remedies were slandered and demonized and not a few doctors were imprisoned.
To guide the transition and change the minds of other doctors and scientists, Rockefeller donated more than $ 100 million to colleges and hospitals and set up a charity called the General Education Council (GEB). This is the classic approach to carrot and whip.
In a very short time, all medical colleges worked and acted in a coordinated and uniform manner. All students learned the same thing, and medicine was limited to the use of patented antitrust drugs.
Scientists received huge grants to study how plants cure disease, but their goal was to first identify which chemicals in the plant were effective and then recreate a similar chemical - but not identical - in the lab that could be patented. with patent.
A pill for every patient became the mantra of modern medicine.
And did you think the Koch brothers were bad?
So now, 100 years later, doctors are coming out who know nothing about the benefits of diet or herbs or holistic practices. We have a whole society that relies on pharmaceutical companies for its prosperity.
America spends 15% of its GDP on healthcare, which should really be called "patient care" or "trade in patented active ingredients for patients".
It does not focus on treatment, but only on the symptoms and their elimination, thus creating recurring and dependent customers, who will sooner or later fall back into the need of the monopoly traders of patented substances.
There is no cure for cancer, diabetes, autism, asthma or even the flu. The eastern medical example (China, India, Japan, South Asia) is documented to achieve about 70% cure of known diseases, while the western example only about 30%, according to the World Health Organization.
When it comes to cancer, oh yes, the American Cancer Society was founded by someone else, by Rockefeller in 1913…
