Before 1910, there were 2 main types of medical schools of thought - doctors who followed a reductionist view of disease and doctors who followed a systemic view (they were called "Emperic" doctors.) 

While Emperic doctors (chiropractors, herbalists, naturopaths, homeopathic doctors, etc.) viewed the body as having interconnected systems and using gentle natural remedies, the Reductionist doctors viewed the body as having separate parts and used aggressive methods of healing such as surgery, administering heavy metals (such as mercury, arsenic, bismuth, vanadium, platinum, tellurium, gold, etc.) and bloodletting.  These are the doctors who used leeches to "drain" the poisons and blood out of the body.  

These are the doctors who used "quicksilver" to kill infections. Quicksilver is another word for mercury.  The word quicksilver over the years became "quacksalver", which was later shortened to the modern word "quack".  So, we learn that the "quack" doctors are the actual reductionist doctors of our day, i.e. our modern day medical doctors are actually the original "quacks".

Not so long ago it was actually taught that a valid treatment for syphilis was mercury.  Unfortunately, even though mercury killed the syphilis organism, the patient often died of massive liver and kidney failure caused by mercury poisoning.  (They used to say, "The treatment was a success but the patient died anyway.")  This, of course, is actually the same as what is said of the cancer treatment for patients today.

These are the same doctors who routinely use mercury in modern day vaccines in the form of thimerosal.  So you see, these quack doctors have never stopped using mercury.

And they are still using aluminum in their antacids, six types of aluminum in their vaccines, the heavy metal bismuth (a by-product of lead and copper metal refining) in their antidiarrheals and platinum in their cancer chemotherapy; these drugs are called cis-platin and carboplatin.    So, if you're wondering how you've gotten heavy metal poisoning, look to the medical profession and their heavy metal-containing medications as a 'possible' source.

In 1910, they began to use arsenic instead of mercury as a cure for syphilis, and it wasn't until the 1940'sand 50's that they finally started using penicillin for syphilis. Even with the advent of antibiotics, we see that strains of syphilis have been antibiotic-resistant, so, as you can see, they have still not found a cure for many sexually-transmitted diseases or other infectious diseases, although they claim to.

Modern day medicine has always used mercury, arsenic, heavy metals and patented petrochemicals. 

How did the Reductionist doctors who used harsh, aggressive surgery, bloodletting, heavy metals and carcinogenic petrochemicals come to predominate over the Emperic doctors?  

Pretty simple.  

The answer is money.  And now the most interesting part:

The Emperic doctors were almost completely run out of business in 1910 by something called the Flexner Report and the consequences that followed from it.  John D. Rockefeller commissioned a man by the name of Abraham Flexner to write this report on the state of all the medical schools in the U.S.  

The Flexner Report caused a dramatic change in medical education in the U.S. and Canada.

The Flexner Report was something that was commissioned as a way of evaluating which medical schools would be most profitable.  Their goal was to expand this industry and crush all competitors, including the Emperic doctors, to eventually form a medical monopoly.

It was Rockefeller's calculated intention to discredit all other forms of medicine before Congress with his version of so-called "science" so that he could not only completely destroy his competitors but have complete control over the medical industry.  The medical industry would then become completely dependent on his petrochemicals as the base of their medications.  And yes, of course our modern-day medications still contain petrochemicals.

Rockefeller wanted to sell oil and gas derivatives in every possible product, including the medical industry.  In the process, he amassed an enormous fortune, creating an international empire without any competitors.

The reductionist medical schools, because they were willing to use patented chemicals with the highly profitable petrochemical base (coal tar) as their medicines, had much more potential to make money than their counterparts, the emperic doctors, who used inexpensive remedies found in nature and left in their original form.  

So, all of the natural forms of medicine were demonized, accused of "quackery" and simply discredited.   From this time forward, only AMA-sponsored medical schools were allowed to issue medical licenses to practice medicine.  This was the beginning of our modern medical monopoly, sometimes also referred to as "Big Pharma."

As a result of the Flexner report, the reductionist medical schools received massive funding from the Rockefeller Foundation, Andrew Carnegie and JP Morgan, while the emperic medical schools did not.  The medical schools were funded with the stipulation that members of the funding institutes would have 2 or so members sit on the Advisory Boards of these medical schools to make sure that all references to diet, herbs & natural healing were taken out of the curriculum and that all forms of healing that were taught were based on petrochemicals, patented chemicals and surgical techniques.  

For over 3 generations (as of the year 2000), we have lived as a society, believing that there is only one true "medicine" and that all other forms are ineffective and worthless "quackery" because of what these dishonest, unscrupulous individuals did to build their multi-billion dollar corporations.

After their "hostile takeover" of all the medical schools in America, it became normal to go to medical doctors for every health complaint since there were hardly any emperic doctors left after this period in history.  Their vast natural healing knowledge was all but lost, and people soon forgot about how to heal infections without antibiotics, how to heal cancer naturally, how to heal arthritis, heart disease, stomach ulcers and all other 'diseases' naturally.  

The great news is that some natural healing information, does still exist, although even with the advent of the internet, may be difficult to find.  And there are more and more conventionally trained medical doctors and researchers who have distanced themselves from reductionist practice (often at the risk of losing their licenses) and are developing some very promising naturopathic supplements and offering practical advice for systemic health.

Many or most of these natural healing remedies and routines that were used by natural healers during this time were incredibly effective before these healers were edged out by their very rich chemical-based competitors - and your doctor has never even heard of this story? But you can bet they have heard of the 'Black Crow Award'.  You should ask your doctor about that one.

The reputations and valid therapies of the natural healing schools were discredited by these ruthless corporations who did not care about the health of their 'patients', but cared more  about their 'patents' and their multi-billion dollar enterprises (They used patents as a way of jacking up the cost of their medicines until the price became exorbitant).  

It is one of the reasons why the cost of medical care has become so high that everyone now needs insurance to pay for it. Compared to the cost of medicine, real natural healing is not very expensive at all.  In short, your life (and your pocketbook) was endangered by the medical profession over a hundred years ago because of competing financial interests.
