Rockefeller's Influence on Medicine and Oil

So in 1872, Rockefeller bought up, shut down, or

bankrupt 90% of the oil companies.

Our good old Constitution came into place, and in 1911, the Supreme Court found

Rockefeller in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act and split

Standard Oil into 34 independent companies.

So they said, "You can't have the monopoly on this.

You're done." You think that changed who he was? No.

He promised to bankrupt America. At that very same time,

they were learning how to turn petrochemicals, exactly what he had at his

fingertips with the oil, into pharmaceuticals.

Now, John D. Rockefeller's biggest threat

was natural health.

So what does he do? Being the businessman he is,

he donates money

to the medical schools because he wants to control.

And what do you do when you wanna control someone?

You give them money.

And then he hired a guy by the name of Flexner to study the

school's curriculum, to figure out what they

were teaching everybody, and to

persuade the government to establish allopathic medicine, which used

unnatural substances to treat diseases.

This is how Western medicine was founded.
