Looking for the name of the letter that derailed any “alternative” approaches to medicine, essentially giving allopathic medicine a monopoly.
🧐 Research Wanted 🤔
The letter is US specific and was published in the late 1800’s or early 1900’s. I believe it was specifically focused on medical schools, and I believe the dude’s name started with “P”.
Thanks in advance.
Early on John D Rockefeller funded the founding medical schools in the US. As he was interested in additional uses for oil (petroleum is the base stock for many organic molecules), he mandated that medical schools specifically NOT provide any education on homeopathic remedies, nor address the impact of nutrition on health; doctors were to provide pharmaceutical and surgical solutions only.
