The Flexner Report...Drugs Anyone?

Nobody’s Opinion: After spending my whole “eight minutes” with my doctor today, in which he talked for seven minutes about some stupid lady who was driving him crazy because she wanted something over the phone that was impossible for him to give her because the “state” required a test, and she did not understand this concept, and he was having a bad day because she would not ACCEPT this answer…

And then one minute about why I was there…

I was actually glad I had not become a doctor.

And yet, for a good four years I was once mad at this very same doctor because he had looked at my mother for a few minutes on a visit, after taking her blood pressure, and sweetly told her she was “just fine” and looked “great.” We left completely frustrated because she was miserable, and had felt terrible for weeks. It was like he was not even listening to us.

She had a major brain hemorrhage the next week, which eventually caused her death.

Yeah, thanks doc.

But, yet, I still liked the guy. I still go to him. He is intelligent, and really does care about his patients. It’s just the whole medical system is so screwed up it’s no wonder they do nothing but hand out pills…they have no time for anything else.

It took me awhile to realize it not the doctor’s fault…after all, what can you do in eight minutes? HMO’s were sold as the most wonderful thing to ever happen to the middle class. Boy, were we suckers.

Think about it, if they spent more than eight minutes of time, the patient might actually get cured.

Last week, while I was roaming around in a book called “Ageless” by Suzanne Somers, there was a little bit of “oh wow” information, that I had no idea existed.

It was a story of greed…it was a story of power. It is a story that affects every single one of us today. To make everyone happy…I will NOT call it a conspiracy theory since according to all academics and people who consider their thoughts beyond examination, conspiracy theories are hogwash.

So as not to upset the Christmas spirit, or your next cup of eggnog. Let’s just call it what it was, a historical fact.

Seems around 1910, The Carnegie Foundation and the Rockefellers owned major pharmaceutical companies, and they needed to figure out how they were going to market all these great drugs they were going to put out.

So they hired a high school principal, a guy named Abraham Flexner, who knew absolutely nothing about medicine. It was called The Flexner Report.

His job was to go around to all the medical schools in the country and study, then come back and give the Rockefellers his recommendations, which took about a year. The AMA (American Medical Association) was behind this too.

Now, this Flexner guy really got into this. He (or they) came up with the thought that the best way to market their drugs was to teach doctors how to use them. So he started with schools such as the Mayo Clinic and John Hopkins and offered “financial incentives” for these schools to change their curriculum to educate their doctors on the use of the drugs made by Rockefeller’s drug companies.

Classes where they had to fill their brains with so many prescriptive drugs, they go into the habit of usually “faking” the prescription, because there are so many drugs the doctors cannot keep up with them all---so they just draw a line with the letters various amounts...like...100 mg’s and write: Take three times a day, and the pharmacists has to guess at what in the heck the doctor wrote since no one can make any sense out of it.

The patient goes home and gets better, because that’s what happens with positive thinking. Who knows what’s in this stuff? (Okay, it’s hard for me to not have fun…back to being serious.)

Anyway from his study Flexner decided that there was just TOO many doctors in the United States, and too many schools, and they had to be reduced. And so he went about helping that reduction out.

He recommend that (a) all the schools that taught about health care and prevention of disease, like homeopathic schools, be shut down. (b) Close all 3 women medical schools, and (c) all Negro medical schools, and (c) all proprietary medical schools. (This means schools run as a business, knocking out all competition.)

His recommendations succeeded. All allopathic schools were closed; all 3 women medical schools were closed. All but two of the Negro schools were closed and all proprietary schools…not a chance, gone.

The remaining medical schools were to be unified with hospital faculty and staff, and were. They didn’t want the “rural” doctors to remain in the small towns either, those guys had to go.

That’s why we have the system we have today. Everyone gets sicker, and we now have the sickest nation on the earth…hey, thanks Mr. Flexner!

BUT WE GOT DRUGS!

Of course this lead to the practice of today, where beautiful girls in short shirts visit the doctors offices, and give them the newest drugs, approved by the FDA in three months under the (can be sold until someone gets sick law) which we saw with Vioxx.

The doctor then gets a much needed 40 minute break listening to a nice soft voice, and looking at wonderful legs.

Not too so long ago, we started hearing about how all our cholesterol levels were in danger.

For years this nation got along without knowing about our cholesterol levels…now all Americans are having their cholesterol checked without even asking. Cholesterol is the new polio epidemic. In horror movies, cholesterol is Freddy Kruger. Too much, and you will end up dead.

So many people are taking cholesterol drugs that the drugs are poring out of the wazoo, and into the water systems.

Men are worried, having heart attacks, and the doctors are telling them it’s their high cholesterol that’s killing them.

Take this pill, and watch what you eat.

But, here’s a fact from “The Zone” by Barry Sears, PH.D. :” The amount of cholesterol you eat has a relatively low impact on the amount of cholesterol in your bloodstream The truth is that more than 80 percent of your daily cholesterol production comes not from diet but from your own liver”

Don’t expect to hear this from your doctor, unless you have a drug to sell and look like Angelina Jolie.

Anyway, it was around that time when Woodrow Wilson came into view, and the League of Nations came into being…wait, my conspiracy mind is starting to wander, sorry.

If you follow history, then the reason most of our drugs cost so much NOW is because they want MORE money, so the only way they can get that is from…the government, by socializing the whole system. This is what the government wants to do too.

Create the problem and people will SCREAM for the solution.

So, if you wonder why the drugs cost so much? Because the problem has been created, the solution will be socialized medicine. And the drug companies will be very happy.

Everyone keeps asking why we pay more than anyone else in the world?

Bird flu vaccine anyone?

Nobody’s Perfect; Any doctor on the HMO plan now has it rough. The insurance costs alone for them is unbelievable. The plan is still continuing. So next time you run into a doctor that leaves you pissed off…remember, he’s in the same boat as you are.

Nobody Knows; This whole business plan, to monopolized the schools and the whole medical system into basically making money for the Rockefellers, was as a business venture---absolutely brilliant. In fact it worked so well, they’ve gone into the “environmental solutions” business. They are now using their Al Gore Flexner plan.

The same plan is being used to create a market for environmental solutions…which of course, Al Gore and Bill Clinton are right on top of.

And the Rockefellers foundations are right there with them.

Soon, all our houses will by law, have to have environmental gadgets in them, to make sure we are not polluting the air. Because they CARE about us. This is NOT going to be cheap.

Nobody Cares; Many people think Suzanne Somers is, like the Rockefellers, just a smart girl making money. Not someone to be taking seriously.

And yet, if there is one book in your life to get your spouse (man or woman) this nobody recommends it highly. Most of the articles are written by doctors. The information on Flexner was from Dr. Joe Filbeck in the Chapter “Men and the Effects of Aging,” page 245.

Thanks Suzanne, you are one Hollywood celebrity actually helping America.
