Decoding the Medical Matrix 1.3

Welcome back everyone!

A big thank you again to all who come here to read. In the last article, I detailed the life and lies of famed “Father of the Germ Theory” Louis Pasteur. I felt that after debunking something as big as the alleged Spanish Flu, it seemed like a good idea to go after the foundation for it all, and that of course began with Pasteur. Moving forward, I think it would now be wise to continue to lay out how things sort of sprouted from there and continued to bloom into this massive germ theory op we have all come to know and love 🙂 To do so, I want to analyze the profound effect that the Flexner Report had on pruning out holistic practice and contributing further in allowing the Germ Theory and the medical-industrial complex to really take root. I think this single report is probably the LARGEST contributing factor to our modern day outcomes. It truly was a turning point for how healthcare would evolve.

Longtime readers might recall my health history article where I have already laid a lot of this out, so it may sound redundant. I will pretty much be gleaning from that article and just taking a closer look at it all to demonstrate how things really tie together to create the bigger picture. I will be touching on the key players involved and the familiar funding trail that achieved these outcomes.

I previously mentioned that post-Pasteur installation in France, the United States pretty much hit “copy/paste” and modeled the exact same thing here. We pause to remember, it was none other than U.S. donor Andrew Carnegie that Pasteur had petitioned for the money to fund and expand his awful rabies studies. Fast-forward a few years and together with the Rockefeller Foundation, they were the main financial backers behind the Flexner Report. These players knew that ultimately, Terrain-based, natural methods were not going to be helpful as far as their money-making scheme went. Nature and wisdom can be utilized for free, making it hard for a snakeoil salesman to churn a profit. Remember: several of the biggest players here were oil or steel magnates who were looking for a way to peddle their by-products. For them, moving away from unpatentable natural remedies and approaches was a way to solidify their perpetual revenue stream and eliminate the competition.

Some background and history on the Flexner brothers… Simon and Abraham were among 9 children born to Jewish-German immigrants, both born in the 1860’s. Simon, the older brother, was the key insider. As a pathologist, he became the first director of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. While it may appear that this guy was just some impartial scientist, he was not. In fact, he was a pretty high-up-there executive in Rockefeller’s empire. His position placed him at the absolute epicenter of Rockefeller’s medical ambitions, tasked with shaping medical research to align with that of Rockefeller’s carefully planned narrative. Simon would use his influence to guaranteed that the incoming reform would favor the model he was paid to promote.

Abraham, the younger brother, was to be the face of the report itself. It should be noted that Abraham had ZERO medical training whatsoever, yet was hired by the Carnegie Foundation to conduct the survey of medical schools. He was to play the part of an independent auditor, yet his conclusions were already written and planned using the framework of his financiers and his family ties. It would be his job to make sure that the report aligned perfectly with Rockefellers goals.

Again, this entire thing came about because those financiers and planners could see that the pluralistic medical landscape of the time was going to be an issue for them. Homeopathy and natural medicine was something that sort of empowered patients with better choices, was difficult to control, and did not leave much in the way of financial gain. Reform was needed. But, of course, this push for reform was dubious and not for the greater good or for actually helping folks with their health and wellness. Remember, profit and control were the goals. The oil/petrochemical industry produced a bunch of by-products that had little use. Funny enough, these same by-products would end up as the raw materials for the new science of synthetic pharmaceuticals, comprising the make-up of things like aspirin, barbiturates, and eventually sulfa drugs and more. Again, I really want to drill home the notion that a medical system based on natural, unpatentable herbs and remedies and holistic care was a direct threat to this immensely profitable industry. A system based on patented, synthetic drugs was a guaranteed, perpetual market.

So the Flexner brothers set out on their task… from 1901 until 1910 when the report came out, they set the groundwork for how everything would eventually play out. Here is a brief timeline for how this was all implemented:

1901- The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research was founded, with Simon heading things up. The institute focused on single-cause disease models (oh, you know that Germ Theory bullshit) and drug-based interventions. It would pretty much serve as the academic strongarm for Rockefeller.

1903- The General Board of Education was also funded by Rockefeller (seeing a pattern here, LOL). Where the Rockefeller institute would be one side of the double-edged sword, the education board would be the other, serving as a financial weapon. Post- Flexner Report, the GBE would be used to pour oodles of money into the schools and institutions that adhered to the new allopathic system, serving as an incentive for these places to get on board.

1904- The AMA Council on Medical Education was formed. From its inception, this internal council worked closely with the Carnegie Foundation behind closed doors. They set out on a mission to inspect and rate the existing medical schools and their findings would be the preliminary foundation for what Flexner would use for his report.

1905- The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching was born. President Henry Pritchett would later be tasked with hiring Abraham (again, a man with ZERO medical training) to survey all of the medical schools in the United States and Canada.

1906-1907- The AMA Council on Medical Education conducted a secret survey of all medical schools, classifying them into Classes A, B, and C. The results were devastating: out of the existing 166 schools, only 82 made Class A. The AMA realized that publishing this would cause a bit of an uproar, so they needed a seemingly neutral third-party to disseminate their conclusions. They took their findings directly to the Carnegie Foundation.

1908- Abraham Flexner is hired by Pritchett and the Carnegie Foundation to conduct the ‘neutral’ survey and put out the report.

1910- the Flexner Report was released, with absolutely damning consequences.

Some key points to touch on…

While all of this was taking place, Rockefeller did not wait. Before the Flexner Report even came out, he was busy with strategically doling out funds to universities (oh, like Johns Hopkins) that would get on board with the reforms. These financial incentives would ensure that the universities would abandon the homeopathic models and align with the new visions being laid out. It should also be mentioned that the AMA was also busy lobbying relentlessly to have laws passed that made licensing dependent on whether or not a practitioner had graduated from what they deemed a reputable school. What this means, is that once the Flexner Report set the framework for what a reputable school was, the state licensing boards (stocked with AMA-aligned practitioners) would have the legal power to shut that shit DOWN!

The consequences and implications of the Flexner Report were awful. Medicine and health were moved away from clinical experience, bedside manner, and holistic assessment and instead shifted towards diagnostic tests, patented pharmaceuticals, and specialized intervention. This would create the physician workforce we have all come to know and love… a workforce trained almost exclusively in prescribing drugs, really. Look at the modern-day white coat: spends a shit ton of money on medical school, only to be armed with a PDR that tells you what drug to throw at what ailment, and very little knowledge of proper nutrition, diet, and actual patient care. These doctors are so far removed from the art of healing and the body and how it works. It truly is a tragedy. Over the last century, we have become a model for chronic lifestyle-related disease that doctors just toss meds at, keeping folks sick, and leading patients down the path for developing secondary and tertiary issues… leading to what? OH, MORE MEDS!!

And so you see, The Flexner Report was nothing short of a meticulously planned and executed coup d’etat against holistic medicine. It was the moment when the emerging big pharma-industrial complex systematically dismantled natural practice in order to replace it with a monolithic and profitable system. This was all cleverly crafted by the same elitists that bankrolled and secured the flawed foundations of Pasteurian Germ Theory. Just as the French state backed Pasteur to centralize authority under his bullshit orthodoxy, the Flexner Report served American elites by imposing a monopoly on medical practice. In both cases, dissent was crushed not by evidence but by financial coercion, information suppression, and legal force. The tragic effect all of this had had on human health and wellness is glaringly obvious in the modern world. What’s crazy, is that we are not so far- removed from all of this. This all took place merely a century ago, which is not too far behind on the historical timeline. I feel that if we are examining how policies, financiers, and elitists shaped the narrative surrounding things like WW2 history and how it has effected geopolitics today, why are we not doing the same for the foundational history of our health?
