How One Man Hijacked Modern Medicine
The Flexner Report: The Moment Medicine Changed Forever
If you’ve ever wondered why the medical system is broken…
Why doctors push pills instead of addressing the root cause of disease…
It all traces back to one man:
Abraham Flexner.
In 1910, Flexner, with funding from the Rockefeller and Carnegie Foundations, published the Flexner Report.
A document that completely reshaped medical education in the U.S.
Instead of improving healthcare, it handed control of medicine to pharmaceutical companies.
How the Flexner Report Changed Medicine
Holistic medicine was silenced.
Before 1910, the U.S. had a diverse medical system.
Schools taught homeopathy, herbal medicine, chiropractic care, and nutrition-based healing.
But Flexner labeled these practices as “unscientific”, leading to the closure of hundreds of holistic medical schools.
What remained?
A standardized curriculum that focused almost entirely on drugs and surgery.

The Rise of Pharmaceutical Medicine
The report didn’t just eliminate natural medicine—it paved the way for pharmaceutical dominance.
Instead of addressing the root cause of disease, doctors were trained to treat symptoms with drugs.
This shift created a system where chronic illness became a business model.
Today, diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and autoimmune disorders are managed, not cured, ensuring a steady stream of lifelong customers for Big Pharma.
How “Quackery” Was Used to Discredit Natural Medicine
To shut down holistic medicine for good, Rockefeller and Carnegie launched a massive campaign to discredit traditional healing practices.
They popularized the term “quackery”—a word used to label natural healers as frauds and illegitimate.
The result?
A medical system where natural treatments were ignored, and anyone who questioned pharmaceuticals was dismissed as a conspiracy theorist or a scam artist.
A Pill for Every Ill
This shift wasn’t just about medical schools—it changed the way people thought about health.
Rockefeller’s pharmaceutical empire introduced the idea that every problem needs a drug.
Instead of looking at nutrition, lifestyle, or environmental toxins, modern medicine became about prescriptions.
The Greek word "pharmakeia" literally translates to "sorcery"—and that’s exactly what this system has become.
A revolving door of medications that never solve the real problem.
So What’s the Solution?
If you want to really fix your health, you have to step outside this system.
#1 - Focus on prevention, not prescriptions.
Support your body before disease starts.
Prioritize nutrient-dense whole foods, daily movement, and stress management.
Detox regularly by reducing toxin exposure, filter your water, avoid seed oils, and cut out processed foods.
#2 - Find doctors who treat the root cause.
Look for functional or integrative medicine practitioners who run comprehensive lab tests.
These tests can identify nutrient deficiencies, gut imbalances, and inflammation markers instead of just handing you a prescription.
They focus on diet, lifestyle, and personalized protocols to heal the body rather than masking symptoms with drugs.
#3 - Understand your genetics.
Understanding your DNA is the most powerful tool you have.
Your DNA holds the blueprint for what your body needs to thrive.
Your DNA will tell you exactly how to personalize your health strategy instead of relying on a system that treats everyone the same.
This is why I created my DNA coaching program—to help people cut through the noise, understand their genetic blueprint, and build a health plan that actually works for them.
