CREATION & CONTROL OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL & MEDICAL PROFESSION

The Creation of Credibility :  how the medical profession was created & is controlled & governed

Among many other things, Carnegie and Rockefeller controlled the oil and coal industries. By 1900, they became aware that these industries were producing mountains of waste year by year. An original idea was presented: what if these chemical waste materials could somehow be turned to profit? Capital idea, but how? Medicines, that's how. But medicines like the world has never seen. Medicines made from chemicals. Pharmaceuticals.

Brilliant idea. But how could the people be made to accept such a strange notion? That was the problem. They just took natural cures and occasionally consulted the country or local doctor for something "serious." The way to gain general acceptance of the new medicines soon became obvious: standardize the education, training, and credentialing of medical doctors and raise their economic status to a level where they would follow policy. And the policy would come from above.

About 1904 Andrew Carnegie noticed that the workers in his factories actually made more money than most medical doctors. Consulting with the president of MIT, Henry Pritchett, they set up the Carnegie Foundation with $10 million. Its original purpose was to provide a pension fund for retiring professors. But soon a new application emerged: control of education. The name was changed to the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, and Pritchett expanded its original purpose, now calling it

" a great agency devoted to strengthening American education through scientific inquiry and policy studies."

Any time billionaires tell you they're going to devote themselves to something for you, that's usually the time to check your wallet. Ever notice that?

The Foundation became immensely successful. Control of educational standards came about in this way: in order to qualify for the new pension system, a participating institution had to meet standards set by the Foundation. In the first year, only 52 of the 421 colleges who applied were accepted. The Foundation soon took on a life of its own.

Abraham Flexner

a nonphysician teacher, was hired by the Carnegie Foundation to travel throughout the country and "observe" medical education. His landmark study, known as the Flexner Report, was published in 1910. Upon his recommendations, the Foundation branched out from being merely a pension plan for professors to an entirely new area: research funding. Schools which met Flexner's, i.e., the Foundation's, standards were awarded research funds and endowments. Those who did not got nothing. In this way the giants of industry came to dictate the type of medical care that would flourish in America. Traditional, natural methods of healing were passed over, in favor of the more "scientific" approach, which coincidentally meant those schools with the likelihood of disseminating the products of the newborn pharmaceutical industry. The "Big Universities" in the Medical Hierarchy " THAT RULE TODAY" were aligned with the Carnegie Foundation at that time:

Case Western Reserve
Johns Hopkins
Carnegie Institute of Chicago
University of Chicago
Harvard School of Medicine
University of North Carolina

Not to be outdone by the Carnegie Foundation, The Rockefeller Foundation also came into ascendancy at this time. Again employing the direction of Abraham Flexner, the Rockefeller Foundation developed national standards for medical schools that were seeking "philanthropic" support. Good word. In 1904 there were 5747 medical doctors. Only 15 years later, after the Flexner Report, by 1919, there were only 2658. In that same 15 year period, the number of medical schools went from 162 to 81. (Lisa p 26) The cut had been made - Rockefeller was screening who was going to play ball from who wasn't.

Schools had to be connected to a large university. Universities had to be linked with clinical departments with laboratories and a university hospital. Using Rockefeller Funds, Flexner was able to develop a small group of elite medical schools that were clinically oriented. They already had the raw materials for the new drugs. What was lacking was an academic power-base to legitimize their development and general use.

The infrastructure for Education, funding, Research and the Organization Of Medicine " THAT PERSISTS  TODAY " was created in a few short years. Ever wonder how simple folk medicine which had been around for centuries was chucked out the window so fast? Set up under the guidance and specifications of two of the biggest economic forces in history, Carnegie and Rockefeller, organized medicine became an industry, with its focus on market growth. An industry concerned with disease is not about to abolish itself by curing the diseased, now is it? This is why all these years, effective inexpensive non-pharmaceutical remedies have been systematically suppressed. It's just good business.

Against this backdrop, the flailing Germ Theory was revived and trotted back out for a SECOND RUN

The fact that it had been repudiated by its founder and most of his contemporaries was no longer mentioned in circles who expected next year's funding. The Germ Theory fit well with the new market-oriented paradigm of medicine: if bad bugs are out there causing diseases, we better find drugs to kill them. It was a natural, a marriage of expediency, like Bill and Hillary.

Up into the 1920s, the burgeoning medical industry was gaining strength. It was aided by the declining incidence of infectious diseases due to improved sanitation, for which medicine took credit. That is an entire story in itself, and a good starting point would be The Sanctity of Human Blood.

The politics of medicine was becoming stronger year by year, as new institutions were built and funding was doled out for those research projects that had the best potential for future market value. The worldwide flu epidemic of 1918 that killed millions proved that the new "scientific" approach had a lot to learn about disease prevention. There was simply no cure, as the virus tore through the world's population.

The still-unproven Germ Theory came to be accepted as policy largely because any opposition to it had little chance of getting published. A small group of scientists, however, aware that the work of Bechamp was a much more reasonable view of physical reality, continued to develop research in a direction other than germs as the cause of disease. "Science" was off and running, the thoroughbred of the new drug market, but the scientific method had been left in the dust. The Germ Theory was enshrined as the underlying dogma of the new Religion. J.H. Tilden, MD, among others, was not going to church services, apparently:

"...doctors fight the imaginary foe without ceasing. The people are so saturated with the idea that disease must be fought to a finish that they are not satisfied with conservative treatment. Something must be done, even if they pay for it with their lives, as tens of thousands do every year. This willingness to die on the altar of medical superstition is one very great reason why no real improvement is made in fundamental medical science."

1926? Sounds like 2001. More deja vu.
