Where Did Medicine go Wrong?

Where Did Medicine Go Wrong?

Don't get me wrong, modern medicine is a miracle that has saved countless lives.


I'm a recovering Respiratory Therapist, I spent over 20 years in the ER, ICU trenches.
I've seen both sides of the health care system. 
The good and the bad.

The four ways modern medicine has been the most beneficial are. 
  1. Trauma Care
  2. Sanitation
  3. Antibiotics
  4. Pain Control
However, when it comes to chronic degenerative diseases, we have completely dropped the ball.

The following statistics should more than prove this.
We have by far the most expensive health care system in the world.
We spend annually over 4 trillion dollars on health care and what that buys us is the undisputed fact that we are the sickest and fattest population on earth!

So, where did it all go so horribly wrong?
It began in 1909.

That's when the Flexner report came out, This report was funded by the Rockefeller's who at that time controlled most of the drug manufacturing in the U.S.
It resulted in the reduction of medical schools from 148 down to 66.
Black and minority schools were particularly hit the hardest.
It's premise was to standardize medical education.
One of the main tenants was the elimination of any alternative medical therapies that might compete with allopathic medicine. 

The incestuous relationship between big agriculture and big pharma happened around the late 50's when reports began to come out that cigarette smoking was harmful.
Remember at one time the AMA actually endorsed smoking as healthy. 
RJ Reynolds and Phillip Morris, at the time the two largest companies in the world saw the writing on the wall and pivoted to purchase almost all the food companies in the U.S.
They then brought their scientists on board to do the same thing with food they did with cigarettes.
 Make it more addictive!
This was the advent of modern "ultra processed food"
The combination of sugar, fat and salt are some of the most addictive substances in the world.
And they started putting it in everything.
They are the ones who came up with "The Food Pyramid".

The introduction of the weapon of mass destruction, high fructose corn syrup occurred in 1970.
This poison is converted in the body to high unmanageable levels of uric acid which produces high levels of oxidative stress which destroys your mitochondria. (The energy production plants in your cells).
Once this happens you can no longer use this sugar as fuel and as such is stored as fat.
High fructose corn sugar has been linked to violence, and ADHD.
This destruction of your mitochondria explains why we as a nation are essentially consuming more calories and at the same time essentially starving to death at the same time.
Ultra processed food has virtually 0 nutrient density. 
Consumption of ultra processed food does not make you feel full like say a grass-fed steak and complex carbs do, so you just keep eating and over consuming calories.
By the way this will never happen by eating fruit.
This poison is thousands of times more concentrated than the sugar found in fruit.

The endless treadmill of pharmaceutical drug prescriptions started in the early 60's with the advent of birth control pills,
Up until that time you typically were put on a drug as a bridge just long enough to get you better.
The light went on when big pharm saw the amazing profit potential to keep people on drugs long term.

So now we have a situation where the incidence of chronic disease in 1965 went from about 4% - 5% in the general population to a staggering 47%  in 2015 of chronic disease in all children!  
It is now estimated to be closer to 60%.
We are literally killing our children as a result of this unchecked greed by big pharm and big ag.
67% of our kids calories come from ultra processed franken foods.


So, now we have statistics like the fact that,
  • 74% of Americans are obese
  • Death by poly pharmacy combined with iatrogenic death, (doctor caused) is now the 3rd leading cause of death in the U.S.
  • 50% Diabetes rate
  •  1 in 2 people will get cancer
  • 25% of all females are on a SSRI drug for depression. 
  • 77% of Americans are unfit to serve in the military because of obesity and drug use.
  • 25% of males have erectile dysfunction.
  • In Calif. 1 in 22 children have autism.
  • The U.S. ranks 54th in the world in infant mortality. 5.79 deaths per 1000
And the hits just keep coming.

Why don't things change?

It starts with how the pharmaceutical industry  highjacks medical education, and political officials with bogus studies. 
The reliability of research papers published is in serious question. 
It was recently discovered that over 100 NIH funded research papers on Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease were completely made up.
Monsatan, (Monsanto) published numerous "ghost" studies claiming glyphosate is totally safe.
Not one randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study, ( the gold standard for medical research )  have ever been done on vaccines.
And yet they will lie up one side and down the other to convince you they have.
This was illustrated during the Covid epidemic when Bobby Kenedy grilled Anthony Fauci regarding this. Fauci swore numerous studies on vaccine safety were indeed done.
When asked for proof, Fauci said he would send the studies over....He never did.
Kennedy sued the NIH for these studies and after a year received a letter from Fauci admitting there were NO studies!

Big ag and big pharma have a long track record of giving these and other bogus studies to government officials, who are not scientifically trained who then riley on this information to construct policy.
Studies for instance that support the food pyramid. 
You know, like the fact Lucky Charms are more important than farm fresh eggs. 

Here's another fun fact.
There is currently a bill in congress that will allow Medicare and as Medicare goes so does Medicade, to   
cover the cost for Ozempic!
The FDA just approved the use of Ozempic to children as young as 6 yr's old as the first line of treatment for childhood obesity.
Novo Nordisk a Danish company manufactures Ozempic.
We will now use our Tax dollars to make this company mega rich.

Ozempic essentially destroys your evolutionary biology to the point that once you start on that drug, you can never come off.....     

My God, have we just completely given up and lost the will to survive?

It seems to me that, oh I don't know, maybe try redirecting the farm bill subsidies that at this time funds less than 1% of it's budget to actually subsiding real food.
This notion that good food is prohibitively more expensive than the cheap crap we eat is by design.
We could very easily change that if we had the will to do this.

And here's the good news as of today, 11/6/24
We now have a new administration coming into power that may very well take on this issue.
Say what you want about Trump, personally I think he's a horrible human being, but.
He is bringing Bobby Kennedy on board to tackle this critical problem.
What that role is remains to be seen, but for the first time in a long time I'm hopeful that things will fundamentally change. 

Let's all work together to "Make America Healthy Again"!  

Learn how if you don't already know how, to start cooking nutritious meals at home.
For guidance with this read or if you don't have it, request a free copy of the nutrition guide I wrote. 
I know we all have very hectic busy lives, but this is an investment that will pay dividends in you and your families future health.

Write your congressman, tell them to change the upcoming renewal of the current farm bill to cover real food.
Tell them using your hard-earned tax dollars to further destroy our children's health is not acceptable.
Time is running out on that issue.

Send them a copy of this article.

And remember, if you are dealing with back pain, neck pain, headaches, or any pain issues and are looking for a great chiropractor in the San Juan Capistrano, Mission Viejo, Dana Point, San Clemente area. Give us a shout....



As always, watching your back.    Dr. Steve
