You trust your doctor. You trust your prescriptions.
You trust that white coat, that stethoscope, that little framed diploma on the wall…
But what if I told you the entire system was built on a lie?
Not a harmless mistake, not a bureaucratic misstep, but a calculated, well-funded, and decades-long campaign to erase the people… and the therapies… that once made us well.
A campaign that buried women, crushed herbalists, smeared energy healers, blacklisted osteopaths—and silenced one man who may have cured cancer… with frequency. That’s not science fiction. That’s American medical history.
Welcome back to The Dysfunction Files, where today, we’re cracking open the confidential file stamped AMA.
That’s right—The American Medical Association.
The gatekeepers of your health.
The hammer behind the phrase ‘standard of care.’
And maybe… just maybe… the reason you’ve never heard of half the things that could’ve actually helped you.
The American Medical Association sets the gold standard in healthcare for all Americans…
But who made them king?
And what did they destroy to stay on the throne?
The Birth of a Healthcare Monopoly
Philadelphia, 1847.
The city of brotherly love…
Unless you were a woman, an herbalist, or someone who didn’t think leeches were cutting-edge care.
In a smoky backroom filled with waistcoats, whiskers, and patriarchal ambition, a group of elite physicians gathered—not to heal, but to consolidate.
They called it the American Medical Association.
The stated goal? To standardize medicine.
The real goal? To control it.
And like every empire worth its salt… the first thing they did was draw up a hit list.
Gone were the days when your town healer brewed elderberry syrup in the kitchen or when the midwife who delivered your baby also knew which herbs soothed your postpartum pain.
Before the AMA’s rise, America’s healing landscape was a vibrant mosaic:
- Midwives ran birthing centers and delivered generations of babies.
- Herbalists and homeopaths offered plant-based remedies long before Pfizer was even a gleam in capitalism’s eye.
- Chiropractors adjusted more than your spine—they challenged the entire idea that only doctors in top hats should hold the keys to your health.
- And women? Women were everywhere in medicine—owning clinics, writing medical texts, even running schools.
But to the AMA, this was chaos. Dangerous. Unscientific.
And more importantly… it didn’t turn a profit.
So they got to work.
First, they created membership rules—only “approved” physicians with “approved” training could join. Then they lobbied states to pass licensing laws that required those credentials. And just like that—
Poof. Midwives? Unlicensed.
Herbalists? Outlaws.
Homeopaths? Blacklisted.
Women? Silenced.
Medicine wasn’t just professionalized. It was colonized.
What started as a medical association became a monopoly machine—and the casualties weren’t just professions. They were entire traditions of healing.
The Flexner Bomb
In 1910, Mr. Abraham Flexner publishes a groundbreaking report on medical education in the United States… hailed as a triumph of scientific rigor and modern progress…
But let’s call it what it really was: a hit job. A bloodless coup disguised as a book report.
Enter Abraham Flexner—a man with zero medical training and very powerful friends. Funded by the Carnegie Foundation and John D. Rockefeller, Flexner was tasked with evaluating medical schools across America.
But this wasn’t about education.
It was about extermination.
Flexner’s 1910 report slammed nearly every medical school in the country—especially the ones that taught:
- Herbal medicine
- Homeopathy
- Naturopathy
- Chiropractic
- Eclectic medicine
- Women.
- Black students.
In other words, anyone who didn’t fit the mold of white, male, and pharmaceutically inclined.
The verdict? These schools were “unscientific.” Dangerous. Inferior.
And with one stroke of the pen… the purge began.
- Over half of all U.S. medical schools were shut down.
- Black and women’s medical colleges were decimated.
- Homeopathic and naturopathic institutions lost accreditation, funding, and legitimacy overnight.
Meanwhile, the surviving schools?
They got an upgrade—from the Rockefeller playbook.
In exchange for hefty donations, they agreed to standardize the curriculum: teach anatomy, teach pathology, and above all else, teach pharmacology.
Because when you fund the schools, you shape the doctors. And when you shape the doctors, you shape the future of medicine.
So what was the new model?
Disease is a drug deficiency. Pills are the answer. And anyone who says otherwise is a threat to the system.
The aftermath?
- Natural therapies became “quackery”
- Herbalism was mocked into oblivion
- Chiropractic was outlawed in multiple states
- And the AMA? They didn’t just write the rules…
They owned the rulebook.
The AMA didn’t just shape medicine.
They rewrote it.
And they did it with Rockefeller oil money and Carnegie steel fists.
The Man Who Might’ve Cured Cancer (But Was Buried Instead)
Every great cover-up starts with a genius…and ends with a fire.
Meet Royal Raymond Rife—a scientist, engineer, and inventor. The kind of guy who didn’t just think outside the box—he torched the box and built a quantum microscope out of the ashes.
In the 1930s, Rife created what he called the Universal Microscope—an optical marvel that, according to witness reports, could magnify specimens up to 60,000 times… and visualize live viruses in real time.
Let that sink in. In the 1930s. Using visible light. No electron beams. No digital enhancement. Just mirrors, prisms, and one man’s obsession with truth.
But that was just the beginning.
Rife didn’t just look at pathogens—he listened to them.
And then he started to tune in.
Through painstaking research, he discovered that each microbe, each cancer cell, had a unique resonant frequency—a kind of biological radio signal. And like an opera singer shattering a wine glass, Rife figured out how to destroy these cells – by hitting them with the exact frequency that made them fall apart.
He called it the Mortal Oscillatory Rate—a vibration that selectively obliterated pathogens and malignant cells without harming healthy tissue. Sound too good to be true?
Here’s the thing – It worked.
In 1934, an independent cancer clinic conducted a trial with Rife’s frequency device. Sixteen patients with advanced cancer were treated. Fourteen were declared cured within four months. The remaining two were cured shortly after.
Let me repeat that: 100% recovery. From terminal cancer. In the 1930s.
You’d think that would’ve made headlines. Changed everything. Saved millions.
But instead?
- Rife’s lab mysteriously burned to the ground.
- His notes, machines, and microscope lenses were stolen or destroyed.
- His closest allies were threatened, bought off, or discredited.
- And Rife himself? He was dragged through legal hell, accused of practicing medicine without a license, financially ruined, and eventually driven into alcoholism and obscurity.
Who orchestrated the takedown?
Morris Fishbein, head of the AMA, and editor-in-chief of JAMA for 25 years.
A man who never treated a patient… but controlled the entire medical narrative.
Fishbein allegedly tried to buy into Rife’s tech—to patent it, profit from it, and take control. But Rife refused.
And like every good villain with a press pass and a vendetta… Fishbein made sure the name Royal Rife was erased from history.
No journal articles. No news stories. No medical textbooks.
Just a whisper… and a trail of charred glass and silence.
This wasn’t just the suppression of a technology. It was the public execution of a paradigm shift. Because if frequency-based healing worked… the pharmaceutical empire would crumble.
Women in White Coats (If They Could Get One)
Once upon a time in American medicine… women weren’t just welcome.
They were essential.
Before the AMA took the scalpel to medical education, women made up a sizable—and growing—portion of healthcare providers. There were over a dozen women-run medical schools, from Boston to Chicago. These weren’t fringe operations—they were rigorous, evidence-based, and in many cases, more progressive than their male-dominated counterparts.
They taught anatomy. Physiology. Obstetrics. Herbal medicine. Psychology. Public health.
They trained women to treat women in a system that otherwise ignored them.
And it worked.
Women founded hospitals. Published peer-reviewed papers. Developed protocols in hygiene, childbirth, and nutrition that saved lives.
But then came the Flexner Report.
And suddenly, the future of women in medicine was… noncompliant.
Flexner’s now-infamous assessment labeled these women’s institutions as “substandard.” Underfunded. Not up to snuff.
Translation? Too many vaginas. Not enough ties.
So what happened?
- Most women’s medical schools were shut down.
- The remaining co-ed schools stopped accepting women.
- And women were nudged—gently at first, then forcefully—into nursing, teaching, or getting married and staying home.
By the 1920s, women had been surgically removed from the field of medicine—no anesthesia, no apology.
Let’s be clear:
This wasn’t about competence.
It wasn’t about science.
It was about control.
The AMA and its Flexner-funded reformers saw women not as colleagues… but as competition.
And the result?
- A massive gender gap in medical leadership
- Decades of lost innovation in women’s health
- And a cultural norm where male-dominated medicine became the only medicine that mattered
Even today, only about 36% of physicians in the U.S. are women.
And that number drops dramatically in leadership, surgery, research, and specialties with the highest pay.
The AMA didn’t just ignore the gender gap.
They enshrined it—right into the foundations of modern medicine.
And if you think that doesn’t matter?
Ask how long it took us to get real research on:
- Female heart attacks (they present differently)
- Endometriosis (decades of being dismissed as “hysteria”)
- Hormone therapy (based on studies… mostly done on men)
- Pain perception in women (spoiler alert: we’re still under-medicated and under-believed)
Turns out, if you erase women from the white coat, you erase women from the data.
And that’s not just inconvenient.
That’s lethal.
Follow the Money and You’ll Find the Dark Side of the American Medical Association
The AMA is technically a non-profit. Which, in modern American medicine, is usually code for: We make a ton of money. We just don’t pay taxes on it.
Let’s break it down.
The American Medical Association has positioned itself as the moral compass of modern medicine. They claim to set ethical standards, protect patients, and guide best practices.
But behind the white coat?
It’s just another empire. And empires don’t run on goodwill—they run on money.
Revenue Stream #1: CPT Codes (a.k.a. the Monopoly Money of Medicine)
Ever wonder why everything in your doctor’s office has a code?
That’s the CPT code system—Current Procedural Terminology—the Bible of billing.
Every test, every treatment, every time a doctor touches a stethoscope, it gets a code.
And guess who owns those codes? The AMA.
Every time insurance gets billed—whether it’s Medicare, Medicaid, or private—AMA gets a slice.
That’s right: the same organization that sets clinical guidelines… also gets paid when you follow them.
It’s like if the IRS wrote your tax return for you, then invoiced you for the privilege.
Revenue Stream #2: Pharma’s Favorite Friend
The AMA isn’t just cozy with Big Pharma—they’ve basically been sleeping in the same hospital bed since the 1940s.
- They accept millions in funding from pharmaceutical companies.
- They partner on ‘educational initiatives’ that somehow always promote patented drugs.
- They publish studies in JAMA (which they own) that overwhelmingly favor pharmaceutical interventions over lifestyle, nutrition, or natural therapies.
Funny how that works, right? If it grows in your garden, it’s ‘woo.’ If it’s made in a lab and costs $8,000 a month, it’s ‘evidence-based.’
Revenue Stream #3: Lobbying Like a Pro
The AMA has spent hundreds of millions lobbying Congress. But not for you.
- They’ve lobbied against universal healthcare.
- They’ve lobbied against Medicare expansion.
- And they’ve lobbied in favor of maintaining private insurance monopolies—which, of course, partner with the AMA to implement those lucrative billing codes.
So next time you get a surprise $3,000 bill for a 15-minute doctor visit?
You can thank the AMA for helping design that little piece of capitalism.
And then there’s the data. Oh, the data.
In the early 2000s, the AMA was caught selling prescriber data—information on what drugs your doctor was prescribing, how often, and to whom.
Who bought it?
Big Pharma.
Why?
So they could target doctors with ads, reps, incentives, and pressure to push specific drugs.
And when someone tried to stop them?
They sued.
AMA defended its right to sell prescriber data.
They said it was “important for medical progress.
You know—just standard medical ethics.
So yes, the AMA is a non-profit. Just not the kind that benefits you.
And their journals? Well… let’s just say they aren’t exactly peer-reviewed.
They’re profit-reviewed.
The Journals of Record (and Rewrites)
Let’s talk about the sacred texts of modern medicine—peer-reviewed journals.
You know, those towering gatekeepers of truth and science that determine what’s considered “safe,” “effective,” and “evidence-based.”
But what if I told you…
They’re not just reporting the science.
They’re selling it.
The AMA owns JAMA—the Journal of the American Medical Association. One of the most influential medical journals in the world.
It claims to publish unbiased research.
But it also:
- Accepts millions in pharmaceutical advertising
- Prioritizes industry-funded studies
- And routinely buries negative data on medications that just happen to be… profitable
And it’s not just JAMA. It’s nearly all of them.
The Lancet. New England Journal of Medicine. Even Nature.
Top editors have gone on record saying that up to half of the studies they publish are ghostwritten or influenced by pharmaceutical companies.
Dr. Marcia Angell, former editor of NEJM, said it best:
“It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines.”
Let that sink in.
And here’s the kicker:
Drug companies don’t have to prove a drug is ‘better.’
Just that it’s not worse.”
And once they’ve done that?
- They pay to patent it
- Pay for the trial (designed in-house, of course)
- Pay for publication
- Pay for CME courses teaching doctors how to prescribe it
- And then sit back while medical journals and physician networks parrot their talking points to the public
That’s not research.
That’s marketing with a lab coat.
So when you hear “studies show”—ask who paid for the study.
When you read “FDA-approved”—ask who funded the approval.
When your doctor says, “This is the gold standard”—ask who printed the gold.
They don’t treat patients.
They don’t deliver care.
They don’t even represent most doctors anymore—AMA membership is below 15% of U.S. physicians.
And yet?
They still pull the strings.
They still set the rules.
And they still tell you what’s ‘real medicine’—while selling your doctor’s data behind the curtain.
The Cost of Silence
The American Medical Association was never just about health.
It was about power.
They’ve claimed for over a century to be the defenders of scientific integrity.
But if integrity means silencing dissent, erasing history, and selling influence to the highest bidder…
Then maybe it’s time we redefine what science is supposed to be.
Because what the AMA really built was not a healthcare system…
but a fortress.
A fortress where:
- Natural medicine was banished.
- Women were erased.
- Innovators were discredited.
- And healing itself became a business model.
They didn’t just shape medicine.
They monopolized it.
They trademarked it.
And then they locked the door behind them.
Royal Rife? Vanished.
Women physicians? Silenced.
Indigenous healing? Mocked.
Holistic medicine? Labeled “dangerous.”
And all the while, they were cashing checks, writing policies, and rewriting history with a scalpel dipped in ink.
So now the question isn’t: “Did they do it?”
It’s, how the hell did they get away with it for this long?
And worse…
What else are they getting away with—right now?
“This message was brought to you by the American Medical Association—setting the gold standard in care… since 1847.”
Gold, indeed.
