Rockefeller's Takeover of Medicine 0:10 Well, we're on chapter 41 of the book Reversed from Culturally Woked to biblically awake. And what's that chapter title called big pharma? Before I start this0:22 1, I wanna just say, I have a great deal of thankfulness to the medical community. The medical community has provided well for me. But every 1 of us experienced0:34 or most of us experienced during COVID and and then the exposure of of Big Pharma, a real loss of trust in much of the medical community, which has been a0:46 deep concern to us. This is not what I'm gonna share right now is not a hit piece, because I happen to respect the medical tradition. My brother's a doctor. My sister is a nurse,0:58 in my hometown. 2 of my cousins have been medical doctors, and another cousin is a medical doctor there right now. So we have high, high respect for the medical community, and I've been blessed1:10 with some really good doctors. And I'm very thankful for the Make America Healthy movement that's, picked up across America and trying to address some of the issues of a lack of health in our in our1:22 society. I'm indebted on this chapter to a lady by the name of doctor Rima Lebo. She's an outstanding Jewish scholar and thinker and1:34 medical doctor. She's a graduate of the Albert Einstein School of Medicine in New York City. And at the time I interviewed her for this chapter, and she did a lot of research and writing and help and thinking1:45 process with me, a lot of phone calls, she had been practicing medicine for 54 years. She's well into her eighties, and her mind was as keen1:57 as could be. She was a brilliant debater. Her health was her health was very great. And she's the 1 that walked me through extensively the history of this2:09 chapter or we're calling on big pharma. The central person in this story is John d Rockefeller. I'm gonna just read certain sections to make us aware. We're gonna we're2:21 gonna focus on the history of how we got where we are and why we have the phenomenon of big pharma occurring in our culture. If you have the book with you, it's page 3 35. And it's referring to John2:33 d Rockefeller senior, who was the richest man in the world at the time, using the same ruthless techniques with which he drove almost all competitors out of the oil business.2:45 By that, I mean buying up the entire barrel supply so competitors could not ship their oil to market, monopolizing railroad cars for the same purpose, setting fire to the tents of2:57 striking workers in Ludlow, Colorado, and killing their families in the night to break the strike, Rockefeller determined to destroy all competitors in the3:08 medical industry as well. Now he put together what she described as a as a type of a club. She can she said he had kind of a who's who of3:20 wealthy people with him on this. Andrew Carnegie, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and others. It would be like like Bill Gates' billionaire's good club. There were other people of questionable3:32 reputation, Alfred Kinsey, Margaret Sanger, John Dewey, just to name a few. John d Rockefeller, when he saw the financial possibilities, once he3:44 discovered the use of petroleum based products for for medicine, this was a seismic shift in in medicine. And, like Soros, George Soros of present day, all you have to3:56 do is try to just follow the money. Let me read from the bottom of 3 37. It is quite amazing what dollars can do. Rockefeller set up institutes and institutions to promote his4:08 products. Here is a partial list of the organizations where his thumbprint was felt. The Eugenics Research Institute, the Cold Spring Harbor Institute,4:20 the Kaiser Wilhelm Institutes in Munich and Berlin, Planned Parenthood, the Rockefeller Institute, the Council on Foreign Relations, and other organizations, including the precursor4:32 organization to the World Health Organization and to the United Nations. He then sent 1000000 dollars, This was a long time ago. It was a lot of money to4:44 every state to encourage them to criminalize any sort of mal of medical malpractice, criminalize it, if it if it wasn't the type of medicine he was advocating, in other4:56 words, chemical based, in other words, the medicine that we are familiar with today. And then he got biologist Abraham Flexner, important name. Flexner, that's a name you wanna remember because the famous5:08 Flexner report, this changed the history of medicine. He visited 155 medical schools, to attempt to proclaim that any5:20 other formula of of medicine was absolutely unscientific, dangerous, and unnecessary. And the Flechner Report became the definitive guide to5:32 modern health and science. All nonconforming schools, those homopathic, etcetera, more natural. All of them were closed, they were jailed, or they lost their licenses.5:45 What was the result of this? Page 3 39. Naturopaths, homopaths, herbalists known as eclectics, osteopaths, chiropractors, energy healers, electro medicine5:57 practitioners, acupuncturists, and the manufacturers of their tools and devices were systematically, ruthlessly, and unscientifically silenced. Now comingFlexner Report and Silencing Natural Healers 6:09 into existence at that time was what we call the FDA, Federal Drug Administration. It wasn't called that originally. Originally, it was called the division of chemistry in 19 o 6 when it was founded. And then it6:21 was, well, 19 o 6 actually changed the name to the Food, Drug, and Insecticide Administration. In 19 30, the name was changed to f f d a. But what happened at that6:33 point is what Robert Kennedy junior has been trying to warn America over and over and over and over. That there was a cozy relationship,6:45 an unhealthy alliance between the regulators and the regulated. And the result of that, it radically changed in a medical6:57 practice in this country. In other words, big pharma became way too cozy to those who were supposed to be practicing. And by virtue of practicing oversight and by virtue of the7:09 lobbying efforts, the dollars that goes into that, now the regulators and the regulated now became virtually 1 and the same. If I could just give this is a personal illustration. My7:20 late wife passed away quite a few years ago, and we were battling cancer for about a 6 year span. People sent to me so called cures for cancer, and I had over 500. I saved them. I still have them in7:32 my computer. Now most all of them are bogus, quite frankly. Probably very few of them would work. But at the same time, these were well intentioned people. Now they had a good heart, and, probably some of them7:44 were were good things that could we have done? They might actually have worked. I I we don't know. But in the course of the time when we got the prognosis and it started going really downhill7:56 in in standard western medicine. And I'm very thankful for the doctors we had, very grateful for them. In fact, some of them are still actually friends to this day. But at 1 point, I was gonna take my wife8:08 across the border to Tijuana, Mexico and to Oasis of Hope Hospital. And my doctor in the US, the the prime doctor we were working with,8:21 we we developed quite a close relationship, but he was just urging me strongly, don't do that. Don't do that. And in a very vigorous debate we were having, I said, doctor, what's your objection? And he says,8:32 the unknown. I said, well, doctor, your known is worse than their unknown. I took her across the border. I took her to Oasis Hospital. I happen to know the owner of8:44 the hospital and, the oncologist. That is a wonderful family that owns that hospital, and I really believe in them. They're people of high integrity. And quite frankly, they extended my wife's8:56 life probably from 2 years to more like like 6 years. It was very, very, very helpful. But the very fact is that I had to go across the border to get other help. By the way, that same doctor that encouraged mePersonal Battle: Beyond Western Medicine 9:08 not to go was quite stunned when he saw, my wife a year later, and he he could not believe how how well she was doing. And we did stretch out. She had good quality of life for9:20 quite a time. But what I had to go through in order to try something else, because the strong-arm control I know it's supposed to protect us, and in some cases, probably9:31 does. But at the same time, it makes it very difficult to try anything outside of acceptable Western medicine. We tried a number. We went to a Christian9:43 doctor in in particular who was, in in the more Eastern medicine, and he helped me understand a great deal at that particular time as we expanded the treatment. Well, why do9:55 we care so strongly about this? Well, obviously, we wanna live, but our bodies are not our own. Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit. And by virtue of them being the bodies a temple of the10:07 Holy Spirit, we're not just wanting to extend our life. We're wanting to honor God. God gave us life. We're wanting to honor him. He put us on this earth for a purpose to bring10:19 glory to him. And he has us with an assignment. We're commissioned to accomplish something in this life on this earth. Otherwise, we all just all wanna die going to heaven now. No. We have something to accomplish, and10:30 part of that is to bring glory to God. And so we care about our human bodies. We want us to live long, healthy, and good lives. We all I mentioned a moment ago, we went to a doctor who was a strong Christian10:41 doctor, who was practicing not Western medicine, but what would be called Eastern medicine. And and and he was involving some things that I had not heard of as it related to,10:53 roots and stuff like that. And I said, doctor, I'm a little concerned this could sound kinda new age. I don't wanna be in new age. And he took me to the scriptures in Ezekiel 37 47 in Revelation 22. Now11:05 the leaves of the trees provide healing. There's there's even a a potential hint that the tree of life in Genesis chapter 2 in the Garden of Eden may have been a veiled reference to11:17 the value of herbs and and and leaves. In other words, we haven't explored these options the way we ought to because of John d Rockefeller's influence that he caused anybody11:29 to be viewed, even like a chiropractor, for example, or some in practicing natural medicine, allowing the body to heal itself. He he was able to get them viewed as a quack, as11:41 unscientific, and lose their license, and their clinic closed, and be and be jailed. This is extremely un unfortunate. Even the word,11:53 the the scripture does acknowledge the the the fact of the existence of medicine. 1st Timothy 4. 1st Timothy 5, the validity of occasional use of medicinal items. Scripture recognizes the12:05 use of that. It is interesting though, though, the word pharma comes from pharmacy comes from pharmakia, And when it's used in the scripture, it it refers to sorcery or witchcraft. It it's not a a positive12:17 word there. The scripture speaks about the woman who was sick, and she was sick for so long, for 12 years. Matthew barely mentions then how much of the story about her. And and Luke,12:28 drops out 1 particular fact that Mark tried. He's included. Luke was a physician, so he omitted 1 part of the story. Mark says that she had spent everything she had on doctors. She had tried everything. I'm12:40 not here to bash doctors. I'm here actually, I'm very, very, very grateful for medicine. I'm very grateful for for doctors. But I think, unfortunately, through the influence of John d Rockefeller and what he was able to12:51 do and continues to this day, It limited the possibilities of us learning about natural healing in the ways we could have learned and need to yet learn, about that.13:03 Above all, when we talk about this, what we really need is wisdom of the Lord. We need to pray somehow the holy spirit show us and guide us in this critical area of our health so we13:15 walk in the health that god has ordained us to have. Well, they've been taking us from culturally woke to biblically awake.13:25 Let us pray. Heavenly father, I pray for integrity and ethical practices within the medical industry. May13:37 those involved in developing and distributing medicines be guided by compassion and a genuine desire to heal. I pray for access to affordable health13:49 care and medicines for all who need them. Please grant wisdom and discernment to the medical profession. Expose and prohibit the misuse of medicine and chemicals14:01 for healing that are harmful to individuals. We acknowledge you as our heavenly healer.
