How Rockefeller founded the pharmaceutical industry and started a war on natural remedies

The Western pharmaceutical industry has some good points and is good in an emergency, but it is high time people realized that today's mainstream medicine (Western medicine or allopathy), with its focus on drugs, drugs, radiation, drugs, surgery, drugs and more drugs, is at its core a money-making Rockefeller creation.

People these days look at you like an idiot if you talk about the healing properties of plants or other holistic methods. Much like everything else, politics and money have been used to distort people's minds and encourage them to embrace what is bad for them.

It all started with John D. Rockefeller (1839 – 1937) who was an oil magnate, a robber baron, America's first billionaire and a natural-born monopolist.

By the early 1900s, he controlled 90% of all oil refineries in the United States through his oil company, Standard Oil, which later broke up to become Chevron, Exxon, Mobil, etc.

World Affairs reports that scientists are discovering "petrochemicals," the ability to create all kinds of chemicals from oil. For example, the first plastic—called Bakelite—was made from oil in 1907. Scientists discovered various vitamins and guessed that many drugs could be made from oil.

This was a wonderful opportunity for Rockefeller, who saw the ability to monopolize the oil, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries all at once!

The best thing about petrochemicals was that everything could be patented and sold for huge profits.

But there was one problem with Rockefeller's plan for the medical industry: herbal/herbal remedies were very popular in America at the time. Almost half of the doctors and medical schools 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 competition. So he used the classic "problem-reaction-solution" strategy. That is, create a problem and scare people, and then offer a (pre-planned) solution. (Similar to the terror scare, followed by the "Patriot Act").

He went to his buddy Andrew Carnegie - another plutocrat who made his money monopolizing the steel industry - who devised a system. From the prestigious Carnegie Foundation, they sent a man named Abraham Flexner to travel around the country and report on the status of medical colleges and hospitals around the country.

This led to the Flexner Report, which gave birth to modern medicine as we know it.

The report spoke of the need to modernize and centralize our medical institutions. Based on this report, more than half of all medical schools were soon closed.

Homeopathy and herbal medicine were ridiculed and demonized; doctors were even imprisoned.

To help with the transition and change the minds of other doctors and scientists, Rockefeller gave more than $100 million to colleges, hospitals, and founded a philanthropic front group called the "General Education Board" (GEB). This is the classic carrot and stick approach.

In a very short time, all medical schools were streamlined and homogenized. All students learned the same thing, and medicine was about using patented drugs.

Scientists were given huge grants to study how plants cured diseases, 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.

One pill per disease became the mantra of modern medicine.

And you thought the Koch brothers were evil?

So now, 100 years later, we are discriminating against doctors who know nothing about the benefits of nutrition or herbs or any holistic methods. We have an entire society enslaved by corporations for its well-being.

America spends 15% of its GDP on healthcare, which should really be called “healthcare.” It is not focused on cures, but only on symptoms, which creates repeat customers. There is no cure for cancer, diabetes, autism, asthma or even the flu.

Why would there be real cures? This is a system founded by oligarchs and plutocrats, not by doctors. Regarding cancer, the American Cancer Society was founded by none other than Rockefeller, in 1913.
