“The takeover of the medical profession was accomplished by the takeover of the medical educational institutes. The people we are talking about here, especially Rockefeller and Carnegie, entered the stage and declared they were going to invest a great deal of money in the educational institutes. They offered a lot of money to the educational institutes that were willing to cooperate with them.

The donors told the institutes: ‚We give you all this money. Would it be too much to ask that you put one of our people on your board so we can make sure our money is spent wisely?‘

Almost overnight, nearly all major universities received large grants from these people and accepted 1, 2, or 3 representatives of them on their boards. The educational institutes were literally taken over by the indivi- duals who had given the subsidies.

As a result, the educational institutes got their financial injections. They were able to construct new buildings. They were able to equip their labo- ratories with expensive equipment. They were able to hire the best faculty. But at the same time, as all this was happening, the new boards were twis- ting everything towards pharmaceutical drugs.

That was the efficient way to ensure that future doctors were trained in pharmaceutical drugs. All the major educational institutes in the U.S. were captured in this manner by pharmaceutical interests.

The most amazing thing about this is how little money the takeover did cost.“
