In the boardrooms of power, where titans of industry believe they can reshape the very nature of healing itself, history doesn’t whisper warnings. It screams them.
And this week, as Americans struggle with skyrocketing prescription drug costs and a healthcare system that seems designed to keep them sick, that scream echoes across 115 years.
In 1910, a single report—funded by the richest men in America—systematically dismantled thousands of years of medical knowledge. Most people have never heard of it. But its consequences shape every doctor’s visit, every prescription, and every medical bill you receive today.
What if the blueprint for this medical monopoly was written not in a hospital, but in the offices of oil barons and steel magnates who saw healing itself as just another industry to conquer?
The Time Portal: New York, 1910
Let’s travel back to the dawn of the 20th century, to a moment when American medicine stood at a crossroads. The year is 1910, and the landscape of healing in America is remarkably diverse.
Homeopaths treat patients with natural remedies. Herbalists dispense botanical medicines that have been used for millennia. Midwives deliver babies using techniques passed down through generations. Osteopaths and chiropractors offer alternatives to conventional treatment. And yes, conventional doctors practice alongside them all.
This medical pluralism wasn’t chaos—it was choice. Americans could select the type of healing that worked best for them. Natural remedies—many of them used since Biblical times—were standard practice. Frankincense and Myrrh, the gifts the Three Wise Men brought to the infant Jesus, were respected for their healing properties. Copper was used to fight infection. Herbal tinctures treated everything from digestive issues to chronic pain.
Then came John D. Rockefeller.
The oil baron had discovered something that would change medicine forever: pharmaceutical drugs could be synthesized from petrochemicals—the same oil derivatives that had made him the first billionaire in American history. He saw an opportunity to monopolize yet another industry.
But there was a problem. How do you convince an entire nation to abandon thousands of years of natural healing in favor of patentable petroleum-based drugs?
You don’t convince them. You eliminate the competition.
The Parallel Revelation: When Healing Becomes A Commodity
Working with Andrew Carnegie, Rockefeller funded a comprehensive “study” of American medical schools through the Carnegie Foundation. The man they chose to write it—Abraham Flexner—had no medical degree. He wasn’t a doctor, a scientist, or a healthcare professional of any kind.
But he had something more valuable: he would write exactly what his benefactors wanted to hear.
The Flexner Report declared that any medical school not teaching pharmaceutical-based, “scientific” medicine was substandard and should be closed. Homeopathic colleges? Shut them down. Herbal medicine programs? Label them “quackery.” Schools that taught natural remedies? Defund them into oblivion.
The results were swift and devastating.
Within years, the number of medical schools in America was cut in half. Of the 155 medical schools operating in 1910, only 31 remained by 1930. Homeopathic colleges were shuttered. Programs teaching herbal medicine, midwifery, and natural healing were eliminated. Insurance companies—influenced by the same industrial interests—stopped covering natural treatments.
The diverse, eclectic American medical system was replaced by a pharmaceutical monopoly.
The Pattern Recognition: The Hypocrisy Of The Elite
Here’s what makes this story truly remarkable: John D. Rockefeller himself was a lifelong believer in homeopathy.
According to historical records, he used homeopathic and osteopathic treatments for himself and his family throughout his life. He lived to 97 years old—without relying on the pharmaceutical system his money had created for everyone else.
The remedies he helped suppress? They were good enough for him. Just not for you.
This pattern repeats throughout history. The elite create systems they themselves refuse to use. They build pharmaceutical empires while quietly visiting naturopaths. They fund studies condemning natural medicine while their personal physicians prescribe exactly those treatments.
Does this sound familiar?
The Ancient Warning: What Was Lost
Among the casualties of this medical revolution were remedies that had been used since Biblical times.
Frankincense—one of the gifts the Three Wise Men brought to the infant Jesus—had been prized for thousands of years for its ability to reduce inflammation and ease pain. Ancient Egyptians used it. Greek physicians prescribed it. Medieval healers relied on it.
Modern science has since confirmed what ancient healers knew: Frankincense contains compounds called boswellic acids that block inflammatory pathways as effectively as pharmaceutical drugs—but without the dangerous side effects that kill over 100,000 Americans every year.
The World Health Organization now acknowledges that 40% of modern pharmaceutical products are derived from nature and traditional knowledge. The very remedies that were suppressed a century ago are being “rediscovered” and validated by the same scientific establishment that once dismissed them.
But here’s the cruel irony: while Big Pharma patents synthetic versions of these natural compounds and charges hundreds of dollars per prescription, the original plants remain available—if you know where to look.
The Lesson For Today
History teaches us to be skeptical when powerful interests claim to act in our best interest. The Flexner Report wasn’t about improving medicine—it was about controlling it. And for over a century, Americans have been denied access to healing traditions that served humanity for millennia.
Today, as more people question the pharmaceutical industry’s grip on healthcare, these ancient remedies are making a comeback. Science is finally catching up to what our ancestors knew all along.
The question is: how much longer will we let century-old industrial interests dictate our health choices?
The Rockefellers and Carnegies are gone. But the system they built remains—a system designed not to heal you, but to create lifelong customers for patentable drugs.
Perhaps it’s time to reclaim the medical freedom our great-great-grandparents took for granted. Perhaps it’s time to rediscover the Biblical remedies that served humanity for 3,000 years before oil barons decided they knew better.
The choice, as it always has been, is yours.
One Biblical Remedy That Survived
Speaking of Biblical remedies that survived the Flexner purge…
If you’ve been struggling with joint pain, stiffness, or inflammation—and you’re tired of relying on pharmaceutical drugs with dangerous side effects—you need to know about this.
One of the most powerful anti-inflammatory compounds ever discovered comes from the same Frankincense resin that the Three Wise Men brought to the infant Jesus. For 3,000 years, healers used it to reduce swelling, ease pain, and restore mobility.
Now, modern science has finally confirmed what ancient healers knew all along. And a small group of Americans are using this Biblical remedy to reclaim their health—without a single prescription.
