Great history lesson by Calley Means:
"There's a couple really important dates that happened that are historical that I think set this structure really intentionally. The first was 1909, the Flexner Report. So literally, John D. Rockefeller's personal lawyer wrote the report for Congress that basically set the standard today for medical education.

And it literally says, in the binding guidelines, that holistic health and nutrition and anything about interconnectedness of the body is pseudoscience. It says we need to name the condition and cut it out or prescribe it. What year is this? 1909. So they're still going by the recommendations of 1909. We still follow the Flexner report.

Some policy, I mean, and we can get to policies, but like rescinding the Flexner report and having updated scientific education and standard of care guidelines based on what we've learned since 1909 about the majesty of the interconnectedness of our body is a really good first start because we're binding under a law, just demonstrably, just like, again, not conspiratorial. John D. Rockefeller's personal lawyer wrote this report.

Why? Because John D. Rockefeller is the father of the pharmaceutical industry and created pharmaceuticals from byproducts of oil production and was the first investor into Johns Hopkins and other major medical schools, University of Chicago and started the modern education program for health.

There were some big issues in the health as of the Wild West, but he created Johns Hopkins and the standard of residency training as a way to silo diseases very intentionally and then prescribe his products and interventions as the top pharmaceutical maker.

And the medical schools that he created were basically a distribution system to him. Okay, so you get to World War II. Up until World War II, around that time, the 1950s, 1960s, I would argue almost any medical miracle you can think of or any listener can think of was created before that time.

It's all acute situations, emergency surgical procedures, sanitation procedures, antibiotics to make an infection not deadly. Almost every medical miracle we can think of was something that was gonna kill you right away, infectious disease, and then you take the pill or take the treatment for a finite period of time and you stop it, or do the surgery quickly and you're cured.

Those are medical miracles. And we had a lot of good things happen up until World War II. Very intentionally, the medical industry saw the birth control pill in the late 1950s, 1960s. And the birth control pill was the first pill in world history that people took for longer than a couple weeks. It was the first pill ever that is, oh, interesting. You can actually convince someone to take a pill for years, for almost most their life, recurring revenue.

And there was a huge emphasis of the medical industry to take the trust engendered up until 1960, RFK talks about this, we didn't spend money on chronic disease management. All medicine was acute issues. Chronic disease, diabetes, obesity, that was outside the doctor's office. They saw that you could medicalize chronic conditions.

Today, 90 to 95% of spending is on chronic conditions. So what do we do? In the 1970s, literally the Sackler family, their grandkids and kids did the opioids, their forebears, created Valium. And 30% of women in the United States in the 1970s were on Valium, Time Magazine, Valium Nation, Mommy's Little Helper. So we started creating all these psychiatric conditions.

We started medicalizing heart disease. We started medicalizing all these type 2 diabetes, started creating academic research totally funded by the pharmaceutical industry, saying that type 2 diabetes isn't reversible, that it's basically genetic, heart disease, all these things, and started peeling them. Started peeling them. Then what happened to food?

Chronic disease wasn't that big of a deal in the 1970s and 1980s. You look at the graph, you look at the graph of all chronic conditions, there's just a sharp turn in the 1980s. It's the literally to almost to the year of the Surgeon General Report saying smoking wasn't great. So the second that report came out, Philip Morris and R.J. Reynolds were two of the largest companies in the world.

It wasn't like Microsoft and Google on the top companies list, it was like cigarette companies, dopamine is a really good thing to sell. which the tech companies do now. And they use their cash piles. And by 1990, the three largest M&A deals in American history, in world history, were cigarette companies buying food companies. So you had Nabisco bought by R.J. Reynolds, you had Kraft and U.S. Food buy.

And you see those graphs of all the food companies owned by like a couple companies? That was the cigarette companies. And they did two things very, very intentionally. They took over the institutions of trust to say ultra processed food was healthy, and then they took their scientists and rigged the food itself to make it more addictive. Not to kill kids, but to make it more addictive.

So you had that literal food pyramid, which said ultra processed food is great, low fat, carbs, based the pyramid. That was constructed literally by the cigarette industry to promote their addictive products. And this weaponization of food, as I call it, it's not just like this conspiracy. Literally the cigarette industry, those two companies felt more snarky than us.

We're the two largest food producers in the United States. Like 50% of American food were created by cigarette companies in the 1990s. And they have gotten us addicted and weaponized this food, and all chronic conditions have just shot up. It's because that ultra processed foods, literally by tobacco industry scientists, hijacks our evolutionary biology.

Again, you can't overeat grass-fed steak, but these food with scientists much smarter than any of us, that's what they're doing. They're shutting off our society signals. The byproduct of this cheap addictive food, which we don't even have research for yet, is that it's sprayed with all these chemicals. It's sprayed with 10,000 chemicals that are allowed in the United States when only 400 are allowed in Europe. All these chemicals to make the food addictive, to make the food cheap, to do the monocropping.

And that food is absolutely, and we don't need to wait for the research on this, these chemicals, these neurotoxins, are destroying our cells, destroying our microbiome in ways we don't fully understand. So I just wanna make clear to everyone, this has happened very intentionally.

Like, and it can be undone pretty quickly too, but we have to realize this isn't a conspiracy. It's true corruption that happened deliberately."
