Origins of Medical Industry

The episode on the ‘Origins of Medical Industry’ delves into the historical conflict between allopathic doctors and empiric healers in the 1800s, shedding light on the contrasting approaches to patient care. The allopaths, practicing what they termed as heroic medicine, utilized aggressive techniques such as bleeding the body and administering toxic minerals like Mercury, while also performing brutal surgeries without anesthesia. On the other hand, the empirics focused on stimulating the body’s natural defenses through non-toxic substances and herbs, emphasizing observation and experience over scientific theories. The emergence of new medical treatments by the turn of the century saw the allopaths join forces with financial giants to transform medicine into a lucrative industry, leading to the exclusion of empirics and a shift towards synthetic drugs and radical surgeries. The episode highlights how organized medicine, propelled by economic interests, marginalized alternative healing practices and stifled promising treatments, underscoring a deep-rooted history of power dynamics and suppression within the medical field.

As the medical landscape evolved, the episode touches on how the American Medical Association (AMA) played a pivotal role in shaping medical practices by influencing educational standards and licensing regulations to favor allopathic methods. The narrative unfolds to reveal a systematic campaign to associate empiric healers with quackery, ultimately leading to the domination of organized medicine and the dismissal of immunological and nutritional treatments as fringe practices. The episode provides insights into the controversial suppression of alternative therapies and innovative treatments, exemplified by the cases of Harry Hawy and Dr. Andrew Ivy, which were deemed as quackery and met with resistance by established medical institutions. The Fitzgerald report to Congress exposed a web of corruption, egos, and conspiracies within the medical industry, highlighting the challenges faced by unconventional healers and the obstacles to exploring new avenues of medical treatment. Ultimately, the episode urges a critical examination of the historical power struggles that have shaped modern medicine and the impact of commercial interests on healthcare practices.

The modern day mainstream medical industry has a dubious history, deeply rooted by a drive for profit through the subversion and suppression of non-profitable and non-patentable therapies and treatments.

To this day mainstream allopathic doctors and practitioners are heavily indoctrinated into a system that protects ever increasing industry profits while fiercely defending orthodox therapies. The network of allopathic medical institutions and education strictly denies medical freedom and outlaws any treatments that cannot generate market share profits for their monopolized industry.
