One fundamental problem of the Medical Cartel is that its origins were dominated by greedy, profit driven businessmen.
Which was inevitable since the primary goal of business under Capitalism is first and foremost to make a profit.
And in essence, the goals of the Medical Cartel have continued on the same track ever since.
And we all pay the price....literally.
The year is 1847. Physicians in America are not enjoying competing with inexpensive, natural remedies, which are offered by Indians and skilled midwives. These are remedies which are effective but are not profitable or patentable, so elitist physicians join forces and form an alliance called the AMA, the American Medical Association. Not just any doctor was allowed to join this new, prestigious organization, but only the “regulars” everyone knew well, and those who did NOT use herbal remedies, homeopathy or Native American remedies – for anything.
By the turn of 1900, word got out fast. The AMA is “hiring” and if you join the “patentable remedy industry” there would be plenty of money to go around. Critics called it the “Great American Fraud,” and the AMA doesn’t like critics, so they created an anti-critic department called the Department of Investigation, or DOI, to hunt down and SHUT DOWN doctors and healers alike that were still using natural remedies, and thus digging into the profits of the AMA.
The DOI kept files also, on anyone cured of cancer, files on vitamins and acupuncture, and even faith healing. The head of the AMA, Morris Fishbein just so happened to be one of the most skilled extortionists to ever live. He invented the “Seal of Acceptance” for all medicine he personally approved (accepted bribes for) or the medicine would not be in any medical journals and wouldn’t sell, in other words. Fishbein ran a huge scam on all pharmaceutical medicine (fake medicine) and charged exorbitant fees to approve and advertise in JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association, of which he was the Editor for decades.
As a US healer at the time, you had two choices: pay Fishbein for chemical drug coercion approval or find another profession. The AMA had the last say in all “prescribed” medicine, even though Fishbein never practiced a single day of medicine in his LIFE, and the AMA did NOT have any facilities to test any of the drugs they were slapping the “Seal of Acceptance” on, because it was all just a BUSINESS scam.
Since 1847, burying natural remedies has been BIG business for the AMA.The AMA was founded in 1847, but wasn’t INCORPORATED until 1897, when it became the largest association of physicians, including both MDs (Medical Doctors) and Dos (Doctor of Osteopathy) in the United States. Once the AMA gained power and prestige in the early 1900s, nutrition education was removed from all medical schools, bar a few classes, and vitamins and minerals would no longer be a part of the Western “School of Medicine” for healing anything, via the AMA.
The AMA has one of the largest political lobbying budgets of any US organization.
The AMA’s political positions throughout history have been CONTROVERSIAL. In the 1930’s, the AMA tried to prohibit members from working for health maintenance organizations that popped up during the Great Depression. This violated the Sherman Antitrust Act and the AMA was convicted by the US Supreme Court. Then, the AMA campaigned against MEDICARE in the 1950s and 60s. Ronald Reagan led the charge with “Operation Coffee Cup.” Now the AMA opposes any cuts to Medicare funding.
The crooks at AMA also changed medical malpractice law to LIMIT damage awards, so patients are left “holding the bag” of medical responsibility and most (if not all) of the cost. Chronic “AMA-style” care has skyrocketed since Obamacare began and the AMA has their hands in everything regarding the “Affordable Care Act.”
AMA found GUILTY of racketeering THREE times.
April, 2001: Three state medical societies join together with over 75,000 members and sue the nation’s largest health insurers. 12 different health plans and their so called “managed care” authorities. They were violating federal racketeering laws. Twenty individual doctors from seven states accused managed care companies of denying medically necessary treatments, systematically delaying payments, and bundling claims – which basically means they made piles for claims they didn’t want to pay on and DENIED THEM WITHOUT REVIEW. End result? The HMO insurers “managed care” practices had violated the Federal Racketeering and Corrupt Organizations Act. The HMOs AUTOMATICALLY “down-coded” and “bundled” claims, which was done with software which had protocols set by the American Medical Association itself, well in advance. This enabled the mass manipulation of reimbursements. The conviction marked the third time that the AMA was found guilty of antitrust violations for CONSPIRACY.
SO IT IS A CONSPIRACY AFTER ALL......
The AMA violated the SHERMAN ACT.
The AMA violated the Sherman Act, as revealed by the 1990 antitrust lawsuit where four chiropractors won a landmark suit because the AMA attempted to destroy the ENTIRE CHIROPRACTIC PROFESSION. The AMA had paid salaries and expenses to professional thugs (a team of rogue medical doctors and lawyers who will do anything for money) to covertly destroy the profession.
t’s on the record that the AMA paid Sunbeam Corporation about $10 million to avoid breach-of-contract trail. The AMA was going to endorse Sunbeam’s blood pressure monitors without any plans to test them. The AMA only pulled out of the plan once the public knew.
This is similar to the CDC pulling mercury out of vaccines, but leaving it in flu shots. Still, the public doesn’t know this. Most pregnant women don’t know there is still mercury as thimerosal in flu vaccines.
False Heroes Purported and Exalted by the AMA
Dr. Jonas Salk, the “Father of Vaccines” and inventor of new Polio strains, (7) was a hack who never invented the cure for polio, but created new strains instead. Polio was already on the way out when vaccines came to be, but those statistics are now skewed and not readily published for the American public to view. They have been memory-holed, but one look at the REAL graph and we all see that what Salk was credited with was really all one huge lie. However, because the majority of Americans believe, thanks to propaganda, that polio is one of the most serious of infectious diseases, the scam works.
Morris Fishbein – Head of the AMA and Editor of JAMA – and the ultimate Charlatan
The AMA began its reign with the ultimate charlatan issuing the infamous AMA “Seal of Approval” which is the same as we have today with the fast-track approval of dangerous chemical pharmaceuticals the FDA approves for top dollars. For those inclined to place trust in the AMA, just take a look at the association’s history. Even today, the AMA continues to make decisions obviously designed to protect organized medicine, not patients. Since before World War II, Americans have been falsely reaffirmed by the FDA, AMA, and NCI that conventional medicine is based upon science, but it is not. (9) Morris Fishbein was a charlatan and a huckster, a “pharma” shill selling America on quack chemical-based medicine, and he was running the American Medical Association for decades. Fishbein was like a billionaire lobbyist would be today, with power, money and most of all, control.
Today, the AMA spends hundreds of millions of dollars on lobbyists, second only to the American Chamber of Commerce. They are supposed to advocate for healthy water supplies, but most US tap/municipal water is laced with highly corrosive, toxic sodium fluoride imported from China’s industrial waste complex for pennies on the dollar. Instead, this form of fluoride lowers I.Q. in humans and causes brittle bones, cancer, Alzheimer’s and bone marrow loss. This is not the naturally occurring fluoride being discussed here either, which is a favorite trick used by the AMA and the ADA to make people believe fluoride helps with strong teeth. The AMA also pushed for the Affordable Care Act, most likely because it’s the AMA that invented chronic care management for the medical industrial complex of the USA.
The AMA purposely limits the supply of physicians and inflates the cost of medical care in the US. The number of medical schools and their curriculum are severely RESTRICTED by state licensing boards which are CONTROLLED by reps from state medical societies associated with none other than the AMA. If any business not working with and through the AMA becomes competitive, the AMA can legally revoke licenses. The AMA itself, though, violates its own code of ethics when US states pass forced vaccination policy, as is happening now in California. This violates the informed consent promises made in the AMA’s own ethics “bible.” The AMA is like a monopoly created by the Government and funded by Big Tobacco. In fact, the AMA gladly accepted huge sums of advertising fees from tobacco companies who advertised heavily in its flagship journal, JAMA, throughout the 20th century, and of course during the latter half of the reign of Morris Fishbein – the ultimate charlatan. Still, the University of Chicago’s Center for History of Science and Medicine is named after him. He was editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) from 1924-1949.
When Dr. Fishbein took the stand under cross-examination in a court case where he had tried to bury a natural cure for cancer for years (see Hoxsey Remedy), Dr. Fishbein made shocking admissions. He failed anatomy in medical school and he never even completed his internship before going to work at the Journal. In other words, he never practiced a day of medicine or treated a single patient in his entire career. He was the quack he had warned America about for years and years.
The AMA even once paid a prominent cancer researcher a quarter of a million dollars to leave the country and stop working on natural cures for cancer. It worked. The researcher took the money and moved to Mexico.
AMA continues to protect organized medicine, not patients
Even today, the AMA continues to make decisions designed to protect organized medicine, not patients. For example, the AMA is right now engaged in the following actions:
Refusing to support the ban of direct-to-consumer drug advertising, a dangerous phenomenon that is partly responsible for the vast over-prescribing of prescription drugs that are right now killing 100,000 Americans each and every year.
Continuing to support the prescribing of antidepressant drugs to children, even though such drugs are now clearly linked to violent thoughts and suicidal behavior and have been banned from use in children in the U.K.
Continuing to accept tens of millions of dollars each year in advertising funds from drug companies whose products dominate the pages of the Journal of the American Medical Association. Many of the drugs advertised in JAMA are, in fact, the very same drugs that are right now killing tens of thousands of Americans each year, according to senior drug safety researchers at the FDA. This massive funding of the AMA by drug companies creates a clear conflict of interest.
One potential step in the right direction is to shift the Medical Cartel, including Doctors, Hospitals and Drug/Medical Equipment Companies to a not for profit status.
Get the over-riding obsession with profits out of the picture and focus on health care period.
The most effective way to do this is through the socialization of medicine.
In other words, eliminate the greedy profit driven motive that has taken over the practice of medicine.
Unfortunately it's probably going to take a major collapse of the Medical Cartel to get the brainwashed public to see this as the best solution.
Once this is accomplished, the United States can come out of the Dark Ages and join the rest of the developed nations, which already have socialized medicine.
