How sad that despite JD Rockefeller's respect and admiration for homeopathy, his foundation and family members surreptitiously reshaped his intent, and for spurious reasons. Thank you Dana for this illuminating report.

Just as imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, calumny is a stalwart sign of fear.

I signed up for Cureus to comment, but I am greyed out. My grandfather was Rockefeller medical missionary in China in the teens. I would like your email to share his papers.

Speakers at MedX In 2013 admitted medicine was killing 400,000.

Andrew Weil always pointed out Homeopathy did better in 1918 Spanish flu. Grandfather’s friend had daughter getting neuromuscular help from Bess Mezendick but then Rockefeller administration cancelled it as didn’t support their model.

Love to you, Dana. You have sold another book. Please let me know how to send you more Rockefeller papers.

So that white thick hair was a wig, huh?

Yes...JD Rockefeller did often wear a wig.

Rockefeller almost single handedly destroyed homeopathy and natural medicine. He supplied the money to make hospitals into what they are today and to pay MDs to use his petroleum (oil industry) pharma. Maybe he knew allopathic medicine was unhealthy, so didn't use it himself. He was no saint in my book.

Thank you Dana, your research skills and dedication to homeopathy combine here to form an excellent, in depth, critical analysis of American medical history and of homeopathy's place within it! Grateful to be able to draw from your meticulous investigations, yours is a real gift to science.
