Minnesotans talk about @prince like he was their famous second cousin they saw occasionally. “Oh ya know I saw him one time in Chanhassen! He looks taller in person” #Minnesota#mn#folks#ope#prince
It is your responsibility to be the CEO of your own health.
At the end of the day, no one cares about your own health more than you.
Take in a variety of different inputs and make the decision of what is in your best interest.
The next time your doctor spends 3 minutes with you during your visit and you feel like a "customer" instead of a patient, this post will hopefully give you clarity.
Not surprisingly, the cost of medical care in the US is #1 in the world, yet our quality is ranked at #37 .
Again, this post is not to bash on Western Medicine.
It is to show the unfiltered history of John D Rockefeller and the role he played in shaping our current medical system.
Rockefeller's next step was to launch a smear campaign against his holistic "competitors."
Homeopathy and Natural Medicines were quickly discredited by the newspapers and media outlets.
In a short period of time, medical schools & hospitals were homogenized with the same approach. Medicine was just about patented drugs, not utilizing holistic & natural approaches as treatment.
Homeopathy and Natural medicines were utterly decimated in the report. Some holistic doctors were even jailed.
Rockefeller also donated a whopping $100M to colleges and hospitals under his philanthropic group called the General Education Board.
Flexner’s role was to travel the US and review Medical schools & hospitals across the country.
This led to the Flexner Report which resulted in the closure of almost 50% of all medical schools.
Like he did for other competing oil companies, Rockefeller viewed natural remedies as his "competition" that needed to be decimated.
Rockefeller teamed up with Andrew Carnegie and hired a man named Abraham Flexner through the Carnegie Foundation.
However, Rockefeller faced a major dilemma as he looked to monopolize medicine:
Natural & Herbal medicines were incredibly popular at the time.
Many doctors and medical schools in the US were advocating holistic practices as treatment & cure.
Rockefeller acted quickly and purchased part of I.G. Farben - a German manufacturing company.
Side Note: I.G. Farben supplied the Nazis during WWII. Yep, look it up.
