This Man is the Root Cause of our Broken Conventional Medical System

Dudes, if you've ever walked out of a doctor's office (and we hope you do prioritize your health) feeling like you just got billed for breathing their air, you’re not alone.

The U.S. medical system is a tangled mess of high costs, rushed appointments, and insurance nightmares.

But have you ever wondered how it got this bad? Spoiler alert: It wasn’t always this way.

The Man Who Changed It All

Back in the early 1900s, medicine in America was a mix of different practices—homeopathy, herbal remedies, chiropractic care, and traditional healing.

Then came John D. Rockefeller, the oil tycoon who saw an opportunity to turn medicine into big business.

Rockefeller helped fund the Flexner Report (1910), which evaluated medical schools and essentially wiped out anything that wasn’t pharmaceutical-based.

Schools teaching holistic healing were shut down, and doctors were trained to prescribe patented drugs instead of focusing on prevention or natural treatments.

The result? A system built on treating symptoms, not root causes.

Big Pharma Took Over

Once Rockefeller and his buddies shaped medical education, pharmaceutical companies took the lead.

They pushed patented drugs over natural remedies, making sure doctors were trained to prescribe rather than prevent.

Ever notice how your doctor rarely talks about nutrition but always has a prescription ready? That’s by design.

Insurance companies weren’t far behind. Instead of paying for healthcare before people got sick (like they do in some other countries), the U.S. system started charging after illness set in.

The more treatments needed, the more money flowed in.

How We Compare to the Rest of the World

While other countries focus on preventative care and affordability, America’s system is designed to keep people as paying customers.

Ever wondered why a hospital visit in Japan, Germany, or Canada costs a fraction of what it does here?

Because their systems aren’t built around profit-first medicine.

So What Can You Do?

• Educate yourself. Don’t just take a prescription at face value—ask questions, look into holistic approaches, and focus on prevention.

• Take care of your health. The less you rely on the system, the less it controls you. Diet, exercise, and stress management go a long way.

• Advocate for change. The system won’t fix itself, but awareness is the first step.

America’s medical system wasn’t always broken—but once big money got involved, it stopped being about health and started being about profits.

The good news? You don’t have to play by their rules.
