Like traditional Chinese medicine, before the 20th century, medicine all over the world used plants and herbs derived from nature. How did it later change to only targeting disease symptoms and using artificial, petrochemical-based compounds?

?This all began with the intervention of two industrial giants, Rockefeller, the oil magnate, and Carnegie, the steel magnate, who were interested in establishing a single industrialization-based approach to "medicine." This "single" agenda quickly destroyed various other models of medical education.

, medicine as a whole was purged and returned to the rule of a single centralized medical oligarch. Real medical research was gone forever, replaced by a dictatorial medical model.

In the United States, medicine before 1910 was a diverse education, with various contents depending on the type of school. Medical schools taught completely different things than they teach today. There were homeopathic medical schools, naturopathic schools, and eclectic schools.

There were comprehensive schools, there were schools of herbal medicine, and there was more than one path to medicine. As with other subject colleges at the time, the pursuit of truth through scientific inquiry had many unique forms, which was considered normal at the time. There were countless schools of thought and various

Each approach to medicine has its own legitimate effects. It is a free-market model of medical education centered on openness and acceptance of new ideas rather than top-down control by a centralized minority. Those that have been most successful have endured

Ideas that have undergone the most rigorous examination are pushed to the forefront and become widely accepted as solid medical science. Without excessive bureaucratic obstacles later, any inquiring mind and method can successfully achieve the greatest advances in medicine.

In 1910, the "Flexner Report" sponsored by Rockefeller and Carnegie organized an evaluation of omissions and omissions in 155 medical schools across North America, effectively manipulating public opinion and transforming the original medical education in the United States.

The form was vilified as broken, in need of repair, and thus abandoned. Through the stimulation of Rockefeller and Carnegie and the United American Medical Association, a group of carefully selected men, led by Abraham Flexner, harnessed bright, flexible minds,

One hand changed the medical education curriculum in North America. In the second half of the 19th century, the American Medical Association's vigorous lobbying led to the vision put forward by Rockefeller and others in the "Flexner Report": "Strict trademark systematization

"Empirical Medical Education". In the context of such a clandestine program to eliminate many legitimate forms of medicine, the easy transformation of medicine into dispensing prescription drugs as a standardized treatment established medical diagnostic classifications. Prior to the Flexner Report, there was no

True to the pharmaceutical industry, there was no governing body that mandated medical curricula. This quickly changed when the oil industry saw the potential interests behind it. Reports say that the vast majority of schools are not teaching medicine, which actually means

It means that these natural health colleges do not promote enough chemical drugs. Who produces the chemical drugs? Carnegie and Rockefeller.

In the face of oligarchic elite medicine, anything outside this system must pass through "scientific" scrutiny and be treated with disdain. They dismiss competing forms of medicine as "quackery"

, although many of them were standard forms of medical treatment before that era. Pharmaceutical superiority has rightly become a common thought form at most of the most prestigious medical schools, and those who accept this system of thought often have a negative attitude toward "alternative/unconventional medicine."

"Medicine is hostile because it contradicts what they teach in medical schools. It's not that these competing alternative treatments are ineffective, but that they threaten the carefully woven profit and power interests of the medical oligarchy that have existed since "Eph.

Since the publication of the "Lexner Report", they have robbed the monopoly on medicine.

By 1925, more than 1,000 herbalists were unemployed. By 1940, more than 1,500 chiropractors were accused of practicing "quackery". There were 22 popular homeopathic medical schools around 1900, but by 1923 the number had dropped to

Only two remained. By 1950, all schools teaching homeopathy had closed. Eventually, a doctor who had not graduated with an M.D. from a medical school supported by Flexner could not be found anywhere.

to work. This is why today's medical doctors are so biased towards synthetic drug therapies. They know almost nothing about natural medicine, food and nutrition.

Rockefeller started in organic chemistry, and they discovered that you could change oil molecules into all kinds of things, so they developed patented medicines, or drug molecules. These were very profitable, and in order for the public to accept them, they had to run the education system.

These consolidators viewed the large-scale shrinkage of the medical education market that their efforts had caused as a good thing, and the elimination of pluralistic medical philosophies was a consistent goal, which later led to the recognition of medical education at large institutions such as Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

The gold standard of the discipline has replaced medicine as a whole.

Of course, George knew that he could not acquire the entire medical group, so he only made a proposal to acquire part of the shares.

"Medical group? It seems that George is also interested in the development of Cui Jin's national health business." Rockefeller said.

"Of course, the pharmaceutical industry is one of the cornerstones of mankind. It would be an honor for me to contribute to this cause."

"Haha, okay, we'll talk about it after I take a good look at your contract." Rockefeller said he wanted to evaluate it.

"Of course." George said there was no problem and did not express any urge.

Nowadays, no one knows whether there is oil underground. Because, as an oil company that controls 80% of the U.S. market, it is full of confidence in its own strength. He believes that there cannot be any oil businessman in the country.

, able to block oil news.

His trust in his own company means he has always been confident. However, Rockefeller still called the manager below to ask if any oil exploration team had been operating in this area recently.

George did not urge it, because it was impossible for anyone other than himself to guarantee whether there was oil underground without detection.

Rockefeller will definitely evaluate this contract, but as a businessman, out of the capitalist's instinct to make money, he will definitely agree to the contract as long as the contract does not harm his company.

The contract that George took out was a gambling contract. The contract stipulated that if oil was discovered underground, George would guarantee an investment return of 6 times the Rockefeller family's investment. Then George would have the right to invest in the contract for ten years.

Then buy back Rockefeller's investment share. If oil is not discovered, both parties share the risk.

After enjoying lunch at the Rockefeller Manor, George's motorcade left the manor.

The next day, George came to Rikers Island in New York. After looking at the Rockefeller family's manor, George also decided to build a manor of his own. After looking at the map of New York, he finally chose the island next to New York. In terms of privacy, an independent island is more in line with George's choice.

Rikers Island was the third island George visited. He also visited Cedar Island and Hart Island before. However, after seeing Rikers Island, George finally chose Rikers Island.

From a political point of view, the island is part of the Bronx, with a bridge leading to Queens. The island has been owned by Riken since 1664 and was later owned by Riker, hence the name Rikers Island. When New York City annexed it in 1884, its land area was about 35 hectares (87). Now it has increased to 150 hectares, and George remembers that the island later became the infamous Prison Island. The prison was moved from Welfare Island Yes, the whole island is bare, unlike now where there are many trees.

In the end, George bought the 150-hectare island from the Vanderbilt family for US$6 million. He then entrusted the design and construction of the villa to Hoppin Cohen, the design company where he now lives.

After communicating your ideas with the designer, the designer can express himself freely.

When George was planning the Texas oil field, Paul also reported that the prototype of the injection molding machine had been made. In the past two days, George also used this injection molding machine to conduct experiments, and it was fully able to meet his requirements.

George Jean-Paul established a machinery factory in Detroit, specializing in the production of injection molding machines. In order to facilitate management, the factory was also established in Detroit. The entire factory took about two months to complete.

With the establishment of this new mechanical processing plant, one more company in need of steel was added to George's name. The demand for steel also increased again.

Now George purchases all his steel from the U.S. Steel Company, owned by the Morgan family. This is a very dangerous thing.

In George's previous life, there were companies like Samsung, which had a full industry chain layout, and there were also specialized companies like Apple. Although George hated the over-exaggeration of Samsung, he also admitted that in the field of electronics, Samsung Electronics was indeed very powerful. .

But in the previous life, there was another company that had a huge impact on the entire industry. That was Xiaomi mobile phone, although it later declined.

Xiaomi initially relied on high cost performance, and when it first appeared in the mobile phone market, it turned the industry upside down. It opened up the entire mobile phone industry chain and used mature technology to integrate Xiaomi mobile phones. But the place where it failed was The reason is that it has no unique skills of its own.

Moreover, it only integrated all the products and could not control any components. Therefore, Xiaomi mobile phones were gradually caught up from the first place in the market.

Although George has no intention of replacing DuPont's United Steel Company, he does not want to leave his lifeline to others.

There are two options for George here. One is to buy a steel mill and some iron ore and play with it on his own. The other is to directly join the United Steel Company.

Both paths have their own advantages and disadvantages. The first one is naturally slow in development. As for the second one, if you want to join United Steel now, you naturally need something to impress the Morgan family in order for him to give up part of his share.

Just when George was sorting out the steel industry information in his mind, a phone call woke him up from his meditation.

"Boss, I'm Harry. I'm very sorry to disturb you at this time. I have bad news to inform you. Just ten minutes ago, our San Francisco headquarters was robbed of 200,000 in cash by a group of robbers." Ha.

Li said in a slightly anxious tone.

"Are there any injuries?" George asked.

"Five people were killed and three were injured, boss."

"Well, I understand. I will rush there as soon as possible. You can call the police according to the procedure first. If you call the police, just say that 5 million is lost. Then do a good job in compensating the injured and dead, so as not to have too much impact."

"Okay, boss."

After George hung up the phone, he sat quietly behind the desk. He considered that this matter was definitely not the work of ordinary robbers. Because ordinary robbers generally would not choose this kind of headquarters unless they were under extremely special circumstances.

Carry out a robbery. Because the security force must be much stronger.

So who is behind the scenes? If it is the Mafia, it is simple. The only two gangs who have enmity with themselves are the Bassini family and the Jewish gang. As for the Niggo gang, there is no one left.

There are leftovers, so it’s unlikely. And San Francisco happens to be the base of the Bassini family. George doesn’t believe this is really a coincidence.

But if it’s not just the mafia, could someone be interested in their own industry? Then why didn’t they attack themselves directly, but instead rob a bank?
