How Did We Get Here? The Pharma Takeover of Medicine, with Sarah Thompson
Manage episode 463822874 series 2878668
As RFK Jr. is grilled by a roomful of politicians about his plans to re-shape public health agencies, I speak with classical homeopath Sarah Thompson about how we got to this point.
We talk about the history of the political takeover of medical practice, education, and research, including the founding of the AMA and the economic incentives behind this power grab.
We also talk specifically about homeopathy, and about the long-standing relentless assault on this particular modality by the medical establishment. We talk about the fundamental difference in paradigms between the two modalities, and why little sugar pills pose such a threat to mainstream practitioners and institutions.
