In the early 20th century, the Rockefeller Foundation played a central role in reshaping medical education across the United States. By funding the Flexner Report of 1910 and investing in medical schools that aligned with its vision, the Rockefeller influence helped standardize a curriculum that prioritized drug-based treatments and clinical procedures.

But behind this transformation was a less visible motive:
To suppress natural, low-cost healing methods that couldn’t be patented or profited from.

As the pharmaceutical industry began to emerge, so did its influence on medical training. Over time:

• Nutritional therapy, herbal medicine, and holistic care were dismissed or removed from curricula.

• Doctors were no longer trained to support the body’s natural healing processes.

• The public came to believe that only prescriptions and surgeries were “real medicine.”

At the ROC, we believe it’s time to bring back what was lost—safe, effective approaches to healing that were pushed aside not for lack of merit, but because they couldn’t be monetized.

After reshaping medical education, industry-backed reformers turned their attention to state laws—working to ensure that only pharmaceutical- and surgery-based medicine would be legally recognized.

Throughout the 20th century, state legislatures were influenced by powerful medical and industrial interests to pass laws that:

• Restricted professional licenses to those trained in the new drug-and-surgery model

• Prohibited or marginalized natural and alternative healing practices, even those with centuries of success

• Made it illegal for many skilled practitioners—herbalists, midwives, naturopaths, and nutritionists—to offer care unless they aligned with the pharmaceutical system

This legal shift created the illusion that conventional medicine was not only dominant—but superior.

Natural approaches weren’t discredited because they didn’t work.
They were sidelined because they didn’t fit the profit model.

At the ROC, we’re restoring the full picture—where licensed care and natural healing both have a place, and where your right to choose meaningful, research-supported recovery methods is fully honored.

 One of the greatest losses in modern medicine is the denial of the body’s own healing power.

In most conventional care settings today:

• Methods that support the body’s natural functions—like nutrition, stress reduction, emotional processing, and detoxification—are rarely mentioned.

• Patients who ask about these approaches are often dismissed or told there’s “no evidence”—even when strong research exists.

• In some cases, patients are even pressured to abandon alternative care, with veiled or direct threats of being denied mainstream medical support.

This creates fear and confusion—leaving people to believe they must choose between conventional medicine or natural support, rather than being empowered to use both.

At the ROC, we help you reconnect with what’s been buried:
The body is not broken—it’s responsive.
Given the right conditions, it often knows exactly how to heal.
We just have to stop standing in its way.
