Hi, Anne Corbin, your Mind Body Spirit Mentor. I'm here with this week's episode of the mind body spirit connection. You are a complex being composed of 3 parts, mind, body, and spirit. Just get those 3 parts working together in harmony Anne upscale your life. I'm here to show you how.
Just recently, Anne. Anne attached, which promised to lift the lid on why Americans are being sold sickness, meaning that patients are being induced to hand over 1,000,000 of dollars collect in exchange for being given treatments that simply keep them unwell. And Everyone's familiar with a situation where so called side effects are so unpleasant that they have to be treated with a traditional drugs, causing the patients as they get sicker and sicker to pop more and more pills on a daily basis.
Of course, this isn't happening only in America, but I suspect that because the problem is particularly severe there, Anne, of course, because of the hold that the pharmaceutical companies have, over all the media, but specifically the TV channels. Opponents of the system over there tend to be more vocal than we are here in the terms, I suspect. People that know me are aware of my views on natural Anne homeopathy.
As in, I feel that these are in alignment with our bodies and are natural, god given ability heal ourselves. So I'm just going to list a few of the statistics mentioned on the video 20% of Americans I would have thought it was more, actually, but 20% are experiencing some sort of mental illness right now. Cancer killed an estimated 9,600,000 people In 2018, that figures worldwide, not just America. Heart disease is the number Anne killer in America.
Anne if you're interested, the second or the number 2 killer is stroke, and the number 3 killer in America, I'm aware of from somewhere else, not the video, is, medical error, and I will be saying more about that a little later on. The incidence of diabetes in young people is climbing rapidly throughout the developed world, and So is the incidence of Alzheimer's, and no, thousands of people consider that the system is broken.
It's considered that the United States you know, it's also the sickest nation in the world. So with 1 in 5 being diagnosed mentally ill, you wonder what the figure really is. And similarly in the UK, I recall seeing that figure disclosed as 18% 18, I'm sure it's more. I'm sure it's more, since the last 2 years of course all medical stats to go completely haywire. And most people experience at least Anne chronic disease. During their lifetime. 42% of all Americans are obese.
Cancer apparently affects about 50% of people in developed countries, something is very wrong. Knowledge is increasing, so why isn't illness decreasing. It seems that metabolically, we are going down the wrong path. Go see your doctor Anne they just give you another pill, and then another pill, if the first one doesn't work, or maybe another pill in addition to what you're already on. The pharmaceutical industry isn't looking for cures. They just want long term customers.
The industry is enormously lucrative. It's recognized that life expectancy is turning downwards, and I'm not even talking about the vaccination issue here. Anne doctor was quoted as saying, The definition of health that I learned on the 1st day of medical school is the freedom from having to think about it. Our destinies are not actually determined by our genes, although many people think that's the case. They are really determined by our lifestyles.
Diet, lifestyle, and attitude are almost completely in control of any person's health. So why are so many people on both sides of the pond? In fact, all over the world in rich countries, reliant upon if not actually addicted to chemical medicines.
World number one villain here, as with education, is John D Rockefeller, and he's closely followed by another very well known name, who along with Rockefeller is remembered by history as a philanthropist Now, you might have heard the term robber Barrons used in conjunction with the numerous millionaire that sprung up in the land of opportunity, as the US was in those days, around the turn of the last century. That is into the early 1900s. I've never looked it up before.
I guess I thought maybe it was applied as a result of envy or jealousy because there were vast numbers of extremely poor people alive at that time in his in the US. In other words, at the same time as these super, super rich business tycoons. So I want to tell you a very condensed biographies of John Drock fella and Andrew Carnaghi. Both of whom were brilliant businessmen. There's no question about that. They both started from absolute 0. They were totally self made, but they were ruthless.
Anne as dishonest as the law allowed them to be, and the law was fairly slack in those days. And These 2 just exemplify the term Robert Barron's because they got rich at the expense of everybody else. Not only poor who worked for them, for the Parla State of Modern Health Care, and I'm going to summarize how and why they managed it.
John D Rockefeller came from very humble beginnings, and his father was a traveling sale Anne Anne healing products, which is a polite way of saying, his father was a snake oil salesman. And you know how it said that the people who profited most from the gold rush were the ones who sold Picks and shovels to the prospectors. Well, Rockefeller was already a successful businessman in the 1870 sorry, the 1860s when oil was first discovered in America.
And he was quick to realize that there was vastly more money in refining the oil than there was in prospecting for it. So He set up a number of refineries. And by the 1870s, he had 8 of and then he combined them into the 1 giant standard oil company. You might have heard of it. Anne with that solid base, he said about buying out the competition, and some of the practices he used were extremely underhand.
He would buy people out at any expense if they didn't they didn't accept the offer that he made. Then he would just sell at ridiculously low prices them out of business. He was in a position to afford to pay the best engineers and chemists as he absorbed these companies into his empire. So as time passed, more and more users were gradually found for the refined products that could be made from petroleum. These were the early petrochemical At the time, every state in the US was autonomous.
I suspect they hadn't even introduced the term monopoly in those days. I think that the whichever state he was operating in started making it difficult standard oil. So he dissolved that company, moved to a different state, and set up the standard oil trust Anne trusts ever since they came into existence, have been notorious for hiding ownership, financial transactions Anne anything else that you want to hide. So he died aged 97 in 1937, and at that time, he was the richest man in the world.
And as you will shortly hear, with money like that, your influence is unimaginable. And another contender for the title richest Anne in the world was Andrew Carnaghi. He also grew up in abject poverty in Scotland, the family immigrated to America.
Young Andrew had to leave school very early, but he was talented, very sharp at business, Anne he was taken under the wing of a manager in the Pennsylvania Railroad company who taught him how to run businesses successfully and how to invest, and by the time the civil war came along, Carnegie was already very rich, and he was rich enough to purchase a professional soldier to take his place when he was called up to do his bit the American Civil War.
Incidentally, Rockefeller did exactly the same thing, but it was common practice in those days, and I don't think there was any disgrace attached to it way back then. Both men were extraordinarily good at identifying opportunities. Anne so much new stuff was being invented Carnegie's company was already building Iron Bridges. He was the first to do that, and then steel was invented. So Carnegie jumped on the Anne, and he built America's first steel plants.
But the employees who worked for him were treated like dirt. At one point, he had them working 364 days out of 365, the only day off they got in a whole year was Independence Day. Numerous strikes are attached to the history of his businesses, but somehow he's not remembered for the reasons for strikes, which really were dreadful employee conditions and dangerous as well.
But he was quite a self publicist and he was a hypocrite as well because he would make public pronouncements about being on the side of the factory work. Anyway, his reputation for being the richest man in the world, came about because in 1901, He sold out, at age seventy to a competitor in the steel business, who was JP Morgan. Now I've always associated that name with banking because there's still JP Morgan. The name lives on in stocks and shares.
And of course, he was one of the villains that set up the Fed. And if you don't know the history of the Fed, it's the American Federal Bank, which is comparable to the Bank of England, and it's not federal, and it's not even a bank. But I've covered that already in a different earlier podcast. So when he retired, he suddenly became a philanthropist and decided to leave none of his vast wealth to his family.
And one of his foundations was the Carnegie foundation for the Ad meant, sorry, the advancement of teaching. And that has enormous influence over the medical education set up in the US and Canada. So back to Rockefeller and his oil refineries and petrochemicals. One of the best things about petrochemical was that anything produced from them, and specifically these new drugs, could be patented and therefore sold for very high profits, which of course is still the situation today.
But Rockefeller had a plan that was being, disrupted or challenged by Natural herbal medicines because they were very popular in America at the time, and almost half of doctors or medical colleagues were practicing holistic medicine, using knowledge from Europe and also from Native Americans. So Rockefeller was a natural monopolist, and he had to figure out a way to get rid of his biggest competition.
So he consulted his good friend, Andrew Carnegie, who also was a monopolist, having made his billions from the steel industry. And together, they devised a scheme. The prestigious Carnegie Foundation, sent a man called Abraham Flexner to travel around the country and report the status of medical colleges and hospitals all over the states. It led to the Flexner Report, and this gave birth to modern medicine as we know it.
The report talked about the need for revamping and centralizing medical in institutions. And based on that report, more than half of all medical colleges were soon closed. Suddenly, natural remedies were described as old, unreliable, and worse alternate whilst the new petroleum based and highly addictive patentable drugs were declared the gold ended.
Rockefeller was able to take control of the American Medical Association and offer massive grants to top medical training institutions on condition that only his approved curriculum should be taught.
