John D. Rockefeller: Wiped-Out Natural Cures To Create Big Pharma

This is about how John D. Rockefeller and his family created modern medicine that destroyed natural cures, herbal medicines and alternative medicine. There is a lot of politics and money involved behind our modern medical system. It all started with John D. Rockefeller who was an oil magnate, a robber baron, America’s first billionaire, and a natural born monopolist. By the start of 20th century, Rockefeller controlled 90% of all oil refineries and petrochemicals.

At the same time, around 1900, scientists discovered “petrochemicals” and the ability to create a large variety of chemicals compounds from oil. During this time, scientists were doing groundbreaking work to understand the effects of different chemical compounds on human life and health.

And this was a wonderful opportunity for John D. Rockefeller and his family to monopolize the oil, chemical and the medical industries at the same time! The best thing about petrochemicals was that everything could be patented and sold for high profits.
But there was one problem with Rockefeller’s plan for the medical industry - natural and herbal medicine was very popular in America at that time. Almost half the doctors and medical colleges in the United States were practicing holistic medicine, using knowledge from Europe and Native Americans.

Rockefeller, the monopolist, had to figure out a way to get rid of his biggest competition. He joined his buddy Andrew Carnegie and devised a scheme. From the prestigious Carnegie Foundation, they sent a man named Abraham Flexner to travel around the country and report on the status of medical education, colleges and hospitals around the country.

This report led to the Flexner Report, which gave birth to the modern medicine. The Flexner report concluded that all the natural healing modalities being practiced for hundreds of years were "unscientific quackery".

The report talked about the need for revamping and centralizing the medical education and institutions. Based on this report, more than half of all medical colleges were soon closed. Homeopathy and natural medicines were mocked and demonized; and doctors were even jailed.

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 “General Education Board” (GEB). This is the classic carrot and stick approach. In a very short time, medical colleges were all streamlined and homogenized.

All the students were learning the same thing, and medicine was all about using patented drugs.

Scientists received 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. A pill for an ill became the mantra for modern medicine.

Today, his corporations own almost 50% medical business around the world.
