As parents, we want to make the best health choices for our children. But what if the medical system we trust isn’t designed to keep our kids healthy, but instead to keep them dependent on pharmaceutical drugs?
For over a century, natural medicine—including homeopathy, herbal remedies, and holistic treatments—has been dismissed as “unscientific.” But why? How did we get to a place where doctors aren’t trained in nutrition, toxins, or disease prevention—only in prescribing drugs?
The answer lies in a century-old campaign by the Rockefeller family, which reshaped medicine into a pharmaceutical-driven industry while suppressing natural treatments. A key part of that strategy was the creation of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)—the government agency that now decides which treatments are “safe” and which are banned.
If you’re a parent looking for natural health solutions for your child, understanding this history is critical. This article will explore:
- How the Rockefeller family took control of modern medicine
- How the FDA was created to favor pharmaceutical drugs
- Why alternative medicine is suppressed
- How you can protect your child from a drug-dependent healthcare system
The Rockefeller Takeover of Medicine
Medicine Before the 1900s: A Natural Approach
Before modern medicine was dominated by pharmaceuticals, doctors used a variety of healing methods:
- Homeopathy – Small doses of natural substances to stimulate healing.
- Naturopathy – Focused on diet, detoxification, and herbal medicine.
- Chiropractic & Osteopathy – Used spinal and structural adjustments for healing.
- Herbal Medicine – Ancient healing traditions using plant-based remedies.
Many of these treatments had been used for centuries. But they had one problem: they didn’t make anyone rich.
Rockefeller’s Plan: Replace Natural Medicine with Pharmaceuticals
John D. Rockefeller, one of the richest men in history, built his fortune in oil. But in the early 1900s, he saw another huge opportunity: medicine.
Scientists had discovered that many synthetic drugs could be made from petroleum. Rockefeller, who controlled the oil industry through Standard Oil, realized he could turn medicine into a highly profitable business—if he could eliminate the competition.
That competition? Natural medicine.
The Flexner Report: Destroying Holistic Medicine (1910)
To take control of the medical industry, Rockefeller and his ally Andrew Carnegie funded a study called the Flexner Report in 1910. This report declared that only drug-based (allopathic) medicine was “scientific”, while other forms of medicine—like homeopathy and herbalism—were dismissed as quackery.
As a result:
- Over half of all medical schools shut down, especially those teaching natural medicine.
- Doctors were no longer trained in herbalism, nutrition, or holistic healing.
- The American Medical Association (AMA), funded by Rockefeller, pushed for laws to ban alternative treatments.
Now, the only legally recognized medical approach was drug-based—and Rockefeller-controlled pharmaceutical companies supplied those drugs.
The FDA: A Government Agency Built for Big Pharma
The Early FDA: Targeting Alternative Medicine
With medical schools now controlled by pharmaceutical interests, Rockefeller needed a government agency to regulate medicine in his favor. The first step came in 1906 with the Pure Food and Drug Act, which later evolved into the FDA in 1930.
The FDA was supposed to protect consumers from unsafe drugs, but in reality, it:
- Banned natural remedies that had been used for centuries.
- Required expensive drug testing—something only large pharmaceutical companies could afford.
- Pushed synthetic, petroleum-based drugs as the only “safe” option.
By the 1940s, the FDA had eliminated most natural medicine, ensuring that Big Pharma controlled the healthcare system.
The War on Natural Cancer Treatments (1939 - Present)
One of the FDA’s first targets was natural cancer treatments.
- In 1939, Dr. Max Gerson developed a nutritional cancer therapy, but his work was banned.
- The FDA outlawed Laetrile (Vitamin B17), a natural cancer-fighting compound.
- Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski’s anti-cancer therapy was constantly harassed by the FDA, despite evidence of success.
To this day, cancer treatment remains limited to chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, even though alternative approaches exist.

The FDA’s Revolving Door with Big Pharma
Many top FDA officials later work for pharmaceutical companies, creating a huge conflict of interest. Drug companies fund the FDA, and in return, the FDA fast-tracks profitable drugs while suppressing natural treatments.
-
The FDA’s War on Supplements
- The FDA has repeatedly tried to ban vitamins and supplements that compete with pharmaceuticals.
- In 1994, Congress passed The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) to prevent the FDA from outright banning supplements—but the FDA still targets natural health companies with regulations.
-
Over-Medicating Children
The FDA approves dangerous drugs for children while ignoring natural alternatives:
- ADHD medications (like Ritalin and Adderall) are handed out freely.
- Antidepressants are given to children, despite warnings about suicide risks.
- Unnecessary antibiotics are overprescribed, leading to gut health damage and antibiotic resistance.
The goal? Lifelong customers for Big Pharma.
How Parents Can Protect Their Children
If you don’t want your child to grow up dependent on pharmaceuticals, here’s what you can do:
-
Question Over-Medication
Before giving your child prescription drugs, ask:
- Are there natural treatments available?
- Could diet, sleep, or lifestyle changes fix the issue?
-
Focus on Prevention
- Feed your child a whole-food, organic diet to prevent chronic illness.
- Avoid processed foods, refined sugars, and artificial additives.
- Detox the home—eliminate toxic cleaning supplies, plastics, and chemicals.
-
Find a Holistic Doctor
Look for doctors trained in:
- Functional medicine
- Naturopathy
- Chiropractic and homeopathy
These practitioners treat the root cause of illness instead of just prescribing drugs.
-
Be Aware of Medical Freedom Issues
- Stay informed about FDA regulations on supplements and alternative treatments.
- Support health freedom laws that allow parents to choose holistic medicine for their children.
Final Thoughts: Take Back Control of Your Child’s Health
The Rockefeller takeover of medicine created a system that prioritizes pharmaceutical profits over real healing. The FDA, originally meant to protect consumers, has instead become a pharmaceutical enforcer, promoting drug-based treatments while suppressing natural medicine.
As parents, we must:
- Educate ourselves about natural alternatives.
- Challenge unnecessary medications.
- Choose holistic approaches that heal the body, not just mask symptoms.
By taking back control, you can ensure your child grows up healthy, without dependence on toxic drugs.
