The Day Medicine Was Standardized… and Everything Else Disappeared In the early 1900s, American medicine didn’t look anything like it does today. There were multiple competing systems: * Herbal medicine * Homeopathy * Naturopathy * Conventional medicine Patients had options. Doctors were trained in different philosophies. Then everything changed. Between 1910 and 1930: * Over half of U.S. medical schools shut down * Entire branches of medicine were pushed out of institutions * Licensing laws tightened * Medical education was standardized around one model This shift was driven by a mix of: * The Flexner Report * New accreditation systems * Massive philanthropic funding from groups like Rockefeller Foundation and Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching * State licensing laws that determined who could legally practice medicine Some saw this as progress—raising standards, improving safety, modernizing science. Others saw something else: A narrowing of medicine… A loss of competing approaches… A system that increasingly favored pharmaceutical development over traditional practices. Here’s the uncomfortable part: Was this a natural evolution toward better medicine? Or did financial power and institutional control shape what counts as “real” medicine? Because once a system becomes the standard… Everything outside of it starts to disappear. https://rumble.com/v79bz2g-the-day-medicine-was-standardized-and-everything-else-disappeared.html #Medicine #BigPharma #Health #MedicalHistory #AlternativeMedicine #HolisticHealth #NaturalHealth #FunctionalMedicine #Wellness #Healthcare #Rockefeller #FlexnerReport #Naturopathy #Homeopathy #HerbalMedicine #HealthFreedom #MedicalIndustry #History #Conspiracy #Truth #Documentary #Educational #MindBlowing #HiddenHistory #ModernMedicine #Healing #HealthTok #WellnessJourney #MedicalSystem #ThinkForYourself
