Marvel: I traveled through time a little early

Chapter 53 Resurrection
Like traditional Chinese medicine, medicine around the world used plants and herbs derived from nature before the twentieth century.How did it later change to using artificial, petrochemical-based compounds to only target disease symptoms?It all began with the intervention of two industrial giants, Rockefeller and Carnegie, who were interested in establishing a single industrialization-based approach to "medicine." This "single" agenda quickly destroyed various other models of medical education. Medicine as a whole was purged and placed under the rule of a single centralized medical oligarchy.Gone is the return of real medical research, replaced by an authoritarian medical model.

In the United States, medicine before 1910 was a diverse education, with various contents depending on the type of institution.Medical schools taught something completely different than today.There were homeopathic medical schools, there were naturopathic schools, there were eclectic comprehensive schools, there were herbal schools, there was more than one approach to medicine.As with other academic colleges at the time, the pursuit of truth through scientific inquiry took many unique forms and was considered normal at the time.There were countless schools of thought and various medical methods, each with its own merits.That was a free-market model of medical education, centered on openness and acceptance of new ideas, rather than top-down control by a centralized minority.Those ideas that most successfully withstood the most rigorous scrutiny were pushed to the forefront and became widely accepted as solid medical science.Without subsequent excessive bureaucratic obstacles, any inquiring mind and approach can successfully achieve the greatest advances in medicine.

In 1910, the "Flexner Report" sponsored by Rockefeller and Carnegie organized an evaluation of omissions and omissions in 155 medical schools across North America, effectively manipulating public opinion and transforming the original medical education in the United States. The form is reduced to brokenness, in need of repair, and then discarded.Through the stimulation of Rockefeller and Carnegie and the United American Medical Association, a select group of men led by Abraham Flexner single-handedly transformed the medical education curriculum in North America with their bright, flexible minds.In the second half of the [-]th century, the American Medical Association's vigorous lobbying led to the vision proposed by Rockefeller and others in the "Flexner Report": "strictly branded and systematic empirical medical education."In the context of such a covert plan to eliminate many legitimate forms of medicine, it is easy to transform medicine into one that dispenses prescription drugs as a standardized treatment to establish medical diagnostic classifications.Before the Flexner Report, there was no real pharmaceutical industry and no governing body regulating the medical curriculum.That quickly changed when the oil industry saw the potential benefits behind it.The report says that the vast majority of schools are not teaching medicine. What it actually means is that these natural health colleges are not promoting enough chemical drugs. Who produces the chemical drugs?Carnegie and Rockefeller.

In the face of oligarchic elite medicine, anything outside this system must be scrutinized by "scientific" and treated with disdain.They dismissed competing forms of medicine as "quackery," even though many of them had been standard medical practices before that era.Pharmaceutical superiority is of course a common thought form at most of the most prestigious medical schools, and those who accept this thought system are often hostile to "alternative/unconventional" medicine because it is inconsistent with what they learned in medical schools. Contradictory content taught.It is not that these competing alternative treatments are ineffective, but that they threaten the carefully woven profit and power interests of the medical oligarchs who have plundered their monopoly on medicine since the publication of the Flexner Report.

By 1925, more than 10000 herbalists were unemployed.By 1940, more than 1500 chiropractors were accused of practicing "quackery." There were 1900 popular homeopathic medical schools around 22, but by 1923 this number had dropped to only two.By 2, all schools teaching homeopathy had closed.Ultimately, a doctor who had not graduated with an M.D. from a medical school that Flexner supported could not find a job anywhere.This is why today's medical doctors are so biased toward synthetic drug therapies and know next to nothing about natural medicine, food, and nutrition.

Rockefeller started in organic chemistry, and they discovered that oil molecules could be changed into all kinds of things, so they developed patented medicines, or drug molecules.These are very profitable and in order for the masses to accept them they have to run the education system.These consolidators saw their efforts as causing a large-scale shrinkage of the medical education market as a good thing, and the elimination of diverse medical philosophies was a consistent goal, which later led to the recognition of medical education at large institutions such as Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. The gold standard of the discipline, replacing medicine as a whole.

Of course, George knew that he could not acquire the entire medical group, so he only made a proposal to acquire part of the shares.

"Medical group? It seems that George is also interested in the development of Cui Jin's national health business." Rockefeller said.

"Of course, the pharmaceutical industry is one of the cornerstones of humanity, and it would be an honor for me to contribute to this cause."

"Haha, okay, let's talk about it after I take a good look at your contract." Rockefeller said he wanted to evaluate it.

"Of course." George said there was no problem with this, and he didn't express any urge.

Nowadays, no one knows whether there is oil underground.Because, as an oil company that controls 80% of the U.S. market, it is still full of confidence in its own strength.He believed that it was impossible for any oil businessman in the country to block oil news.

Trust in one's own company itself is self-confidence.However, Rockefeller still called the manager below to ask if any oil exploration team had been active in this area recently.

George did not press, because it was impossible for anyone other than himself to guarantee the existence of oil underground without detection.

Rockefeller will definitely evaluate this contract, but as a businessman, out of the capitalist's instinct to make money, he will definitely agree to the contract as long as the contract does not harm his company.

The contract that George took out was a gambling contract. The contract stipulated that if oil was discovered underground, George would guarantee an investment income of 6 times the Rockefeller family's investment. Then George would have the right to invest in the contract for ten years. Later purchased back Rockefeller's investment share.If oil is not discovered, both parties share the risk.

After enjoying lunch at the Rockefeller Estate, George's motorcade left the estate.

The next day, George arrived at Rikers Island in New York.After seeing the Rockefeller family's manor, George also decided to build a manor of his own.After looking at the map of New York, I finally chose the island next to New York. In terms of privacy, an independent island was more in line with George's choice.

Rikers Island was the third island George visited, having previously visited Tiny Island and Hart Island.But after looking at Rikers Island, George finally chose Rikers Island.

Politically speaking, the island is part of the Bronx, with a bridge leading to Queens.The island has been owned by Riken since 1664 and was later owned by Rikers, hence the name Rikers Island. When New York City annexed it in 1884, its land area was approximately 35 hectares (87).Now expanded to 150 hectares, George remembers the island becoming a notorious prison island in later generations.The prison was moved from Welfare Island. The whole island was bare, unlike now where there are many trees.

In the end, George bought the 600-hectare island from the Vanderbilt family for $150 million.Then it was entrusted to the design company of the villa where we now live, Hoppin Cohen, for the design and construction.

After communicating your ideas with the designer, the designer can express himself freely.

When George was planning the Texas oil field, Paul also reported that the prototype of the injection molding machine had been made.George has also experimented with this injection molding machine in the past two days, and it has been able to fully meet his requirements.George Jean-Paul established a machinery factory in France, specializing in the production of injection molding machines.In order to facilitate management, the factory was also established in Detroit.The entire factory will take about two months to build.

With the establishment of this new machining plant, George added another company that needed steel.The demand for steel has also increased again.

George now purchases all of his steel from U.S. Steel, owned by the Morgan family.This is a very dangerous thing.

In George's previous life, there were companies like Samsung with a full industry chain layout, and there were also specialized companies like Apple.Although George hates the kind of over-exaggeration of Samsung, he also admits that in the electronic field, Samsung Electronics is indeed very powerful.

But in a previous life, there was another company that had a huge impact on the entire industry.That is Xiaomi mobile phone, although it later declined.

Xiaomi initially relied on high cost performance and turned the industry upside down when it first appeared in the mobile phone market.It has opened up the entire mobile phone industry chain and used mature technology to integrate Xiaomi mobile phones.But its failure lies in the fact that it has no unique skills of its own.

Moreover, it only integrated all the products and could not control any components. Therefore, Xiaomi mobile phones were gradually caught up from the first place in the market.

Although George had no intention of replacing DuPont's Consolidated Steel Company, he did not want to leave his lifeline to others.

There are two options for George here. One is to buy a steel mill and some iron ore, and do what he wants.The other was to join the United Steel Company directly.

Both paths have their own advantages and disadvantages. The first one is naturally slow in development. As for the second one, if you want to join United Steel now, you naturally need something to impress the Morgan family in order for him to give up part of his share.

Just when George was sorting out the steel industry information in his mind, a phone call woke him up from his meditation.

"Boss, I'm Harry. I'm very sorry to disturb you at this time. I have bad news to inform you. Just 10 minutes ago, our San Francisco headquarters was robbed of 20 in cash by a group of robbers." Ha. Lee said in a slightly anxious tone.

"Are there any injuries?" George asked.

"Five people were killed and three were wounded, boss."

"Well, I understand. I will rush there as soon as possible. You can call the police according to the procedure first. If you call the police, say that 500 million is lost. Then do a good job in compensating the injured and dead, so as not to have too much impact."

"Okay, boss."

After George hung up the phone, he sat quietly behind the desk.He considered that this matter was definitely not the work of ordinary robbers.Because ordinary robbers will generally not choose this kind of headquarters to rob unless they are under extremely special circumstances.Because the security force must be much stronger.

So who is behind it?If it's the mafia, it's easy. Those two gangs are the only ones who have a grudge against me.One is the Bassini family and the other is the Jewish gang.As for the Ni Ge Gang, there is no one left, so it is unlikely.San Francisco happened to be the base of the Bassini family, and George didn't believe it was really a coincidence.

But if it’s not just the mafia, could someone be interested in their own industry? Then why didn’t they attack themselves directly, but instead rob a bank?

Anyway, I still have to go to San Francisco first.Considering that the distance was too far and it would take four or five days by train, George planned to go there first.
