Thanks for starting this thread and posting this interview.

Coincidentally, I had just this morning returned to reading “The Devil’s Chemist”, by Josiah E. Debois, Jr. The book can be found in the ProjectAvalon library I believe. It’s a somewhat critical look at IG Farben pre and post WWII.

DeBois was a lawyer who played an important role in the Nuremberg prosecution of 24 IG Farben chemists and top level management people at IG Farben. I’ve not finished the book. But I can barely get through a page without thinking of the parallels with then and what’s occurring today and has been occurring before and since WWII in the sciences of chemistry.

It is clear that IG Farben did not and could not operate in a vacuum. Then and now. What was done then, and is being done today, required the cooperation of many people in positions of power in many nations and global corporations. The “Devil” did not then and does not now limit its influence to chemists and chemistry. But chemistry does indeed play an essential and critical role in both good and evil. Unfortunately, far too much evil is carried out for control, power and profit.

Very much so.

The Germans merely took advantage of opportunity.

The backbone of what you are speaking of is Rockefeller + Italian Oil + Fiat Motors right around 1900. As far as I know, it continued right through Opus Dei and continues. Euro-American Fascism. At the time, of course, Germany "wasn't", although it has a few companies such as Farben, Bayer that came up in the 1800s.

Everything about Oil is necessary for Rockefeller Medicine, which, at least in America, is also Jesuitical.

I can forgive most common people up through around the 1940s thinking this was good for you. At some point you snap out of it.

I don't get sick because I have hardly ever been to a doctor. My parents of course took me when I was a kid, and I have had a few Amoxycillin-type courses, and that is about it. In those times, they only cared about the "Big Three"--Tetanus, Measles, and Polio I think, so I have never taken more, eh, I can't remember the name of those. Mandatory. What? Serums? Inoculations? Intoxications? Whatever you call that stuff.

I took a Tetanus booster, one time, voluntarily, to do school. Otherwise, I have only had a few over-the-counter products, and those, rarely. Ibuprofen nearly killed me. It actually says that in the fine print at the end of the label if you make it through all twelve pages. There is no one to give me more drugs because their hands are off of me. I feel so clean.

I'm actually not very clean, in the sense of being exposed to a lot of potential hazards, in terms of both people and "stuff" of a garbage-like nature and so forth. It doesn't matter.

I avoid them because a doctor is like a priest confessor. With either one you are getting the subliminal suggestion that something is wrong with you. It all starts from there.

This is simple:

Medicare is a system to confiscate your property.


So, it's keep you sick, then kill you for the house.

In geopolitik this is a Soft Kill system. Basically the same as death squads in Hard Kill countries, but more like the bullet that zips through your brain there, is going in really slow motion.



I came across something on here that summarizes why I understand that in early times, most people would believe in the medicine. This is the World Health Organization. Did you know that this is the only thing that has been unanimously approved by the world?

There is a story floating around about the founder or first chairman--a Canadian--Dr. Brock I think he was called. The claim is that he did this and that, is the sinister overlord of One World Government, this kind of thing. And a brief glance at him would tell you that he was "controversial".

Here's the controversy. The first main guy in the WHO was so radical that he actually said we might want to re-consider automatically teaching all our children to believe in the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy and these kinds of things. He really was one of the first public figures to raise such a discussion.


As long as *wrong* bits of information are not added to the pile, almost every damning indictment you can make on this subject is true.

The international concerted industries, everywhere, and the food and health situation particularly in America.


The Ibuprofen gave me this for 2-3 years:


Dermatographism


Dermatographic urticaria is sometimes called "skin writing", as it is possible to mark deliberate patterns onto the skin.

The underlying cause of dermatographism is not known, and it can last for many years without relief.






Mine was not quite that severe. But it was weird.

I like people who are more like medics, the ones who will give you stitches or possibly stop a heart attack, yes, I would say trauma response is important.

Not this industrial thing and its laws.

Longstanding History Of Big Pharma Crimes. "Deadly Medicines And Organized Crime" By Dr. Peter Goetzsche Is A Must Read
Ana Maria Mihalcea, MD, PhD
Aug 26 2024
https://anamihalceamdphd.substack.co...m_medium=email



"There are many brave whistleblowers who have sounded the alarm about the extreme corruption of the medical system. This book by Dr. Peter Goetzsche, founding member of the Cochrane Collaboration, was published in 2013. Of course, this outspoken stance led to professional persecution:

Hospital's suspension of evidence-based medicine expert sparks new controversy Petition in support of former Cochrane board member Peter Gøtzsche has received thousands of signatures

Now, 11 years later, the pharma companies continue to push their deadly “medicines” and “vaccines”. I wanted to provide some quotes from this important book, that I highly recommend for historical perspective of the corruption of Big Pharma. The means and methods of criminal conduct have not changed over the decades and the crimes are repetitive. This book also outlines not just he Big Pharma crimes, the fraud in the scientific literature, the false studies, the corruption of the continuing medical education system, the medical organization and physician corruption, the obscene over reporting of benefits and negating of harms. This book now has more historic meaning than every before, as we find ourselves in the biggest Big Pharma genocide to date.

Here are some selected passages from the book. If you still believe in Big Pharma, the allopathic health care system, the integrity of doctors, the honorability of peer reviewed studies - this book outlines with cold facts that debunk this romantic ideology and proves that Big Pharma and the healthcare system is nothing else but organized crime syndicate, out to profit at all costs, and without any conscience harming and killing millions. The entire system is based on fraud, bribery, lies and harm.

The characters in Aldous Huxley’s novel from 1932, Brave New World, can take Soma pills every day to give them control over their lives and keep troubling thoughts away. In the United States, TV commercials urge the public to do exactly the same. They depict unhappy characters that regain control and look happy as soon as they have taken a pill. We have already superseded Huxley’s wildest imaginations and drug use is still increasing. In Denmark, for example, we use so many drugs that every citizen, whether sick or healthy, can be in treatment with 1.4 adult daily doses of a drug every day, from cradle to grave.

The main reason we take so many drugs is that drug companies don’t sell drugs, they sell lies about drugs. Blatant lies that – in all the cases I have studied – have continued after the statements were proven wrong.

In the foreword by Richard Smith we read: Goetzsche quotes a former vice-president of Pfizer, who has said:

It is scary how many similarities there are between this industry and the mob. The mob makes obscene amounts of money, as does this industry. The side effects of organized crime are killings and deaths, and the side effects are the same in this industry. The mob bribes politicians and others, and so does the drug industry …

Many people are killed by the industry, many more than are killed by the mob.

Indeed, hundreds of thousands are killed every year by prescription drugs. Many will see this as almost inevitable because the drugs are being used to treat diseases that themselves kill. But a counter-argument is that the benefits of drugs are exaggerated, often because of serious distortions of the evidence behind the drugs, a ‘crime’ that can be attributed confidently to the industry.

Dr Goetzsche talks about the slogan “ safe and effective” - the most deceptive statement of the industry:

Organized crime, the business model of big pharma

Drug companies never talk about the benefits and harms of their drugs but about their efficacy and safety. Words create what they describe and the preferred semantics is seductive. It makes you think it can only be good for you to take drugs, as they are both efficacious and safe. Another reason why patients and doctors generally trust their drugs as being both efficacious and safe is that they think they have been carefully tested by the drug industry and carefully scrutinized by the drug regulatory agencies using high standards before they are allowed onto the market.

He explains the history of Pfizer:

An internal 2001 survey of Pfizer employees, which is not available to the public, showed that about 30% didn’t agree with the statement, ‘Senior management demonstrates honest, ethical behavior.’

In 2012, Pfizer agreed to pay $60 million to settle a US federal investigation into bribery overseas. Pfizer wasn’t only accused of bribing doctors, but also hospital administrators and drug regulators in several countries in Europe and Asia. The investigators said Pfizer units sought to hide the bribery by listing the payments in accounting records as legitimate expenses, such as training, freight and entertainment. According to court papers, the company wired monthly payments for what it described as ‘consultancy services’ to a doctor in Croatia who helped decide what drugs the government would register for sale and reimbursement. Pfizer didn’t admit or deny the allegations, which is routine practice when drug companies settle accusations of fraud.

Hoffman La Roche and the attack on Vitamins and Food

High- level Roche executives led a cartel that, according to the US Justice Department’s antitrust division, was the most pervasive and harmful criminal antitrust conspiracy ever uncovered. Top executives at some of the world’s biggest drug companies, largely from Europe and Asia, met secretly in hotel suites and at conferences. Working together in a coalition they brazenly called ‘Vitamins Inc.’, they carved up world markets and carefully orchestrated price increases, in the process defrauding some of the world’s biggest food companies. Roche alone had revenues of $3.3 billion in the United States while the conspiracy was running, and during that time, the conspirators gradually and artfully raised the prices of raw vitamins, so as not to attract notice; they also rigged the bidding process.

Roche pushed Valium (diazepam) to become the top- selling drug in the world, although many indications for its use were highly doubtful and the wholesale price was 25 times the price of gold. In the early 1970s, Roche was fined by antitrust officials in Europe for engaging in anti-competitive behavior in the sale of Valium and another best-selling tranquilizer, Librium (chlordiazepoxide).

It took 27 years after the first report about dependence had been published before the drug regulators fully acknowledged that tranquilizers are strongly addictive, just like heroin and other narcotics.

Dr. Goetzsche discusses the fraud charges over time pertaining to Big Pharma:

Pfizer agreed to pay $2.3 billion in 2009
This was the largest healthcare fraud settlement in the history of the US Department ofJustice at the time. A subsidiary of the firm pleaded guilty to misbranding drugs ‘with the intent to defraud or mislead’, and the firm was found to have illegally promoted four drugs: Bextra (valdecoxib, an anti-arthritis drug, withdrawn from the market in 2005), Geodon (ziprasidone, an antipsychotic drug), Zyvox (linezolid, an antibiotic) and Lyrica (pregabalin, an epilepsy drug).

An amount of $1billion was levied to resolve the allegations that Pfizer paid bribes and offered lavish hospitality to healthcare providers to encourage them to prescribe the four drugs,and six whistle-blowers would receive$102 million. Pfizer entered a Corporate Integrity Agreement with the US Department of Health and Human Services, which means that good behavior is required for the next 5 years.

Glaxo Smith Kline to pay $3 billion in 2011
This is the largest healthcare fraud settlement in US history. Glaxo Smith Kline pleaded guilty to having marketed a number of drugs illegally for off-label use, including Wellbutrin (bupropion, an antidepressant), Paxil (paroxetine, an antidepressant), Advair (fluticasone + salmeterol, an asthma drug), Avandia (rosiglitazone, a diabetes drug) and Lamictal (lamotrigine, an epilepsy drug).

The Justice Department charged a former vice president and top lawyer for Glaxo a year earlier with making false statements and obstructing a federal investigation into illegal marketing of Wellbutrin for weight loss. The indictment accused the vice president of lying to the FDA, denying that doctors speaking at company events had promoted Wellbutrin for uses not approved by the agency, and of withholding incriminating documents.

Roche convinces governments to stockpile Tamiflu
Roche has committed what to me looks like the biggest theft in history, but no one has yet dragged the company to court. In preparation for the mild 2009 influenza epidemic, the European and US governments spent billions of Euros and dollars on the purchase of Tamiflu (oseltamivir). Roche has omitted publishing most of their clinical trial data and has refused to share them with independent Cochrane researchers. Based on unpublished trials, Roche has claimed that Tamiflu reduces hospital admissions by 61%, secondary complications by 67%, and lower respiratory tract infections requiring antibiotics by 55%. Curiously, the company convinced the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to approve the drug for prevention of influenza complications, and the agency’s summary of product characteristics stated that lower respiratory tract complications were reduced from 12.7% to 8.6% (P = 0.001).

In contrast, the FDA sent Roche a warning letter that the company should stop claiming that Tamiflu reduces the severity and incidence of secondary infections, and it required Roche to print a disclaimer on the labels: ‘Tamiflu has not been proven to have a positive impact on the potential consequences (such as hospitalizations, mortality, or economic impact) of seasonal, avian, or pandemic influenza.’

Drummond Rennie, editor of JAMA, who, in his announcement for the first peer review congress, stated:

‘There seems to be no study too fragmented, no hypothesis too trivial, no literature citation too biased or too egoistical, no design too warped, no methodology too bungled, no presentation of results too inaccurate, too obscure, and too contradictory, no analysis too self-serving, no argument too circular, no conclusions too trifling or too unjustified, and no grammar and syntax too offensive for a paper to end up in print.’

The book goes on to list fines for other Big Pharma companies for fraud

Johnson & Johnson fined more than $1.1 billion in 2012
A jury found that the company and its subsidiary Janssen had downplayed and hidden risks associated with its antipsychotic drug Risperdal (risperidone). The judge found nearly 240 000 violations under Arkansas’ Medicaid-fraud law.

Merck to pay $670 million over Medicaid fraud in 2007
Merck had failed to pay the appropriate rebates to Medicaid and other government healthcare programmes, and had also paid kickbacks to doctors and hospitals to induce them to prescribe various drugs.

Eli Lilly to pay more than $1.4 billion for illegal marketing in 2009
Eli Lilly entered into a settlement with the Department of Justice concerning a wide- ranging, off-label marketing scheme for its top-selling antipsychotic drug, Zyprexa (olanzapine).

Abbott to pay $1.5 billion for Medicaid fraud in 2012
Abbott settled allegations of Medicaid fraud for the company’s illegal marketing of the epilepsy drug Depakote (valproate);

Here are a few more quotes from the book

The drug industry is unique in that it can make exploitation appear a noble purpose.

-Former medical director of Squibb at a US Senate hearing

________________________________________________________________________

We have doctors from all over the world who drop into Australia on a first class all expenses paid junket/trip telling us how great a particular medicine is. If you read the small print on a pharmaceutical company flier you will find most references are ‘on file’ or have been presented at a midnight session of the Darfur Cardiologists Conference. As a medical director of a pharmaceutical company I learnt how to get articles published in journals with one journal promising publication if we purchased 2000 reprints at $10 each.

_______________________________________________________________________

The wooden spoon in futility I have seen so far goes to erlotinib for treatment of pancreatic cancer. Both the FDA and the EMA approved it, although it only prolongs life by 10 days, is toxic and will cost almost $500 000 for 1 year of life gained (10 days for each of 36 patients that aren’t even pleasant).

_______________________________________________________________________

If the American people knew some of the things that went on at the FDA, they’d never take anything but Bayer aspirin. -Len Lutwalk, FDA scientist

_______________________________________________________________________

It is really scaring that a survey showed that 70% of FDA scientists are not confident that products approved by the FDA are safe. And that 66% lack confidence in the FDA’s safety monitoring of marketed drugs. The citizens have a similar view. In a public poll, 76% worried that the FDA didn’t communicate safety issues effectively.

________________________________________________________________________

A former FDA scientist, Ronald Kavanagh, spoke out about crimes and gangster methods at the agency:

While I was at FDA, drug reviewers were clearly told not to question drug companies and that our job was to approve drugs … If we asked questions that could delay or prevent a drug’s approval – which of course was our job as drug reviewers – management would reprimand us, reassign us, hold secret meetings about us, and worse. Obviously in such an environment, people will self-censor … Human studies are usually too short and the number of subjects in them too small to adequately characterize the most dangerous risks. That’s why even a single case has to be taken seriously … I frequently found companies submitting certain data to one place and other data to another place and safety information elsewhere so it could not all be pulled together and then coming in for a meeting to obtain an agreement and proposing that the safety issue is negligible … if reviewers say things that companies don’t like, they will complain about the reviewer or they will call upper management and have the reviewer removed or overruled. On one occasion, the company even told me they were going to call upper management to get a clear requirement for approval that they did not want to fulfill eliminated, which I then saw happen. On another occasion a company clearly stated in a meeting that they had ‘paid for an approval’ … Sometimes we were literally instructed to only read a 100–150 page summary and to accept drug company claims without examining the actual data, which on multiple occasions I found directly contradicted the summary document. Other times I was ordered not to review certain sections of the submission, but invariably that’s where the safety issues would be … FDA’s response to most expected risks is to deny them and wait until there is irrefutable evidence postmarketing, and then simply add a watered down warning in the labeling … When you do raise potential safety issues, the refrain that I heard repeatedly from upper management was‚‘where are the dead bodies in the street?’ Which I took to mean that we only do something if the press is making an issue of it … Later, I found that the FDA had internal documents that had the same conclusion [as] my analysis but they had been withheld from the advisory committee … After FDA management learned I had gone to Congress about certain issues, I found my office had been entered and my computer physically tampered with. I saw strange cursor movements on my computer when I was just sitting at my desk reading that I suspected was evidence of spying … The threats, however, can be much worse than prison. One manager threatened my children – who had just turned 4 and 7 years old – and in one large staff meeting, I was referred to as a ‘saboteur.’ Based on other things that happened and were said, I was afraid that I could be killed for talking to Congress and criminal investigators … I found evidence of insider trading of drug company stocks reflecting knowledge that likely only FDA management would have known. I believe I also have documentation of falsification of documents, fraud, perjury, and widespread racketeering, including witnesses tampering and witness retaliation … In fact, thanks in part to the Prescription Drug User Fee Act [in which drug companies pay for expedited reviews], thalidomide could not be stopped today.

Summary:

Please read the book. As new psychological operations come your way, be it monkeypox, avian flu or other fake news plandemics, remember that the entire industry is a gangster mob, that has bought media, academia, politicians, medical associations, universities, hospital administrators, doctors for one purpose: their own profit.

I also highly recommend “The Truth About The Drug Companies - How They Decieve Us And What To Do About It - by Marcia Angell, MD former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine.

[shaberon]

That list of payouts is intriguing. Usually we expect "settlement" but then we are told Pfizer pled guilty on fraud. And they made one of our Covid masterpieces, right?

Remember those days?

What was happening was that the "opioid lawsuits" were being "settled", except, one state was about to not settle for it.

The boomerang here is that, although, one way or the other, they are going to pay out a pittance versus the damage done, you know how it works?

The payments are dependent on the companies' future profits.

That's not really a "fine", it's a business plan.

If we didn't have Covid, then, probably the opioid people would keep getting the same nothing they had already got.

We rewarded:


Moderna, who had never successfully gotten a vaccine to the market

Pfizer, who confessed that they fraudulently represent their products


And this takes place at least fifty years after everyone should have started understanding what was going on.

I found out something even more bizarre recently.

Here, this ADHD thing is a normal household word. Someone "has" it. Almost anyone that has multiple children is going to say this. Consequently we find people in the workforce who claim to have it. I know a young lady who is twenty-four, which means she has no clue about anything other than a post-9/11 world. Her dad drives her to work. She refuses to get a driver license because of ADHD. She told me she would literally start watching birds fly and everything else that is not on the road.

This is while taking five times the normal dose of a "treatment".

Is this going to be a thing? Should we start describing people as "unsafe to operate anything, because you are alive"?

Nazi History of Eugenics and Infiltration into the Pharmaceutical Industry



Dan Willis is one of the Top Secret Military Witnesses that testified at the National Press Club in Washington DC in 2001 in front of the major mainstream media of the world.
A world disclosure event prompted by those within our government with legal constitutional authority being illegally denied access. This event was asking for a congressional hearing in order to bring forth the witness scientists within the unacknowledged special access projects in order to release the advanced technologies derived from extraterrestrial reverse engineering that have been hidden for over 70 years that could stop further damage to our planet, as well as acknowledging the extraterrestrial presence on our planet. Instead, the message was sanitized by a controlled mainstream media to the public.



From his personal first hand experiences, as well as looking into the historical indicators that have been purposely omitted from our education system that reveals an infiltration of unwarranted influences operating behind the secrecy established for our National Security system. A system that is used to control the public's perception that forms our "agreed upon reality". This is done in order to hide their illegal operations, and why they fear disclosing the truth about the extraterrestrial reality.

An ex-radio broadcast engineer and ABC newsman, Dan has taken a keen interest in how the mainstream media has withheld disclosure of the full message to the public, a message based on the hundreds of credible military and intelligence witness testimonies.

The following article reflects on this question... "Who controls the agreed upon reality through the Mainstream Media and why they fear disclosing the truth about the extraterrestrial reality?"

The answer to this question, of course you must ultimately decide.

False Claims: One Insider's Impossible Battle Against Big Pharma Corruption
by Lisa Pratta, published June 3, 2025

Summary:

In Big Pharma, lives are secondary to profit margins. But Lisa Pratta stood her ground—risking everything to expose the lies of a billion-dollar pharmaceutical business mired in deception, greed, and the systemic abuse of both patients and employees

As a rising star in pharmaceutical sales, Lisa Pratta wanted to believe that she was helping improve the lives of people who suffered from illness. But as she climbed the corporate ladder, she uncovered a sinister world of bribery, fraud, and sexual harassment—all papered over with a thin veneer of corporate respectability.

At Questcor Pharmaceuticals, Lisa found herself at a small company with a blockbuster drug that could have been a lifeline for patients suffering from multiple sclerosis—that is, if it was prescribed properly. But instead, Questcor chose profits over patients, training its sales force to push untested treatment regimens with the sole purpose of beating its competition. Lisa recognized this as not only dangerous but highly illegal. In the midst of this controversy, Questcor arbitrarily inflated the drug’s price to a jaw-dropping $28,000 per vial. Torn between her morals and the financial stability the job provided for her special-needs son, Lisa made a decision that would change her life forever: she reported the fraudulent practices of the company to the federal government.

For nearly a decade, she led a double life—feeding insider information to the Department of Justice while enduring the relentless demands of her company to sell their drug using illegal marketing tactics. She faced constant fear of exposure, knowing that the government offered her no protection if her secrets were revealed. Nonetheless, Lisa pressed on, determined to hold Questcor accountable for the laws they were breaking and the lives they were endangering.

This incredible true story offers a sobering look at the unscrupulous sales methods used by America’s corrupt pharmaceutical industry, spotlights the levers they pull to extract ludicrous profits from the sick and dying, and is a page-turning portrait of one woman’s heroic fight against Big Pharma and a mother’s struggle to protect her family.

Uncovering ‘The Big Secret’ About Medicine, Food, and the Power You Still Hold

"Story at-a-glance
“The Big Secret” documentary reveals how the U.S. healthcare system was reshaped by corporate and pharmaceutical forces, replacing natural healing with a drug-centered, profit-driven medical monopoly
The shift began with the Flexner Report, backed by Carnegie and Rockefeller interests, which redefined medical legitimacy and opened the door to corporate control over healthcare
Modern medicine has wrongly vilified cholesterol, leading to widespread statin use that undermines hormone health, cognitive function, and metabolic resilience
Industrial agriculture, glyphosate, and processed foods strip essential minerals from the food supply.
This has led to widespread nutritional deficiency and chronic disease across generations
The real “big secret” is that health restores itself once you eliminate what disrupts it and provide the inputs it’s always required

In the modern era of medicine, where innovation is often equated with progress, many people assume that the dominant healthcare model in the United States reflects the best that science has to offer. Yet despite this, chronic illness continues to rise, and more Americans than ever rely on daily medication to maintain a semblance of health.

What part of this equation remains unresolved, and what has the system failed to account for? The documentary above, “The Big Secret,”1 answers this question by exploring the deeper forces shaping American healthcare and invites you to reconsider many of the assumptions you’ve long accepted without question.

Through interviews with physicians, researchers, and health advocates, it follows the trail of influence that has quietly determined how doctors are trained, how treatments are chosen, how the foundations of care were built, and how those foundations continue to shape health outcomes today.

The Making of a Medical Monopoly
For most of history, healing was guided by direct observation, traditional wisdom, and a blend of natural therapies drawn from plants, minerals, and food. That changed at the turn of the 20th century, when industrial and financial interests began reshaping medicine into a centralized, pharmaceutical-first system. What emerged was a model built not around patient health, but around patentable products, standardized protocols, and institutional control.2

•The Flexner Report laid the groundwork for corporate control — The push began with the Carnegie Foundation, which commissioned educator Abraham Flexner in 1908 to conduct a sweeping review of American medical schools. Though Flexner had no medical training, he visited every school in the country and produced a report that would become the blueprint for what would count as “real” medicine in the United States.

•The report sidelined entire healing systems that didn’t conform — The Flexner Report, published in 1910, called for stricter admissions, standardized training, and a closer alignment with laboratory science. While framed as a push for quality, the reform wiped out much of the therapeutic diversity that once defined American medicine.

At the time, schools taught homeopathy, naturopathy, herbalism, nutritional therapy, and other empirical, non-drug-based approaches. The Flexner Report dismissed them not for poor outcomes, but for failing to fit the narrow research model promoted by industrial interests. Its adoption signaled the collapse of a pluralistic system and the rise of a pharmaceutical-centered medical order.

•Rockefeller interests steered medical education toward patented treatments — The Rockefeller Foundation, already heavily invested in the growing pharmaceutical industry, saw the report as a perfect opportunity. Using their vast financial resources, the Rockefeller Foundation began offering grants to medical schools, but only those that adopted the Flexner model and rejected alternative approaches.

They began to steer the entire medical education system toward a model that favored patented drug treatments over nutritional or holistic care. Schools that taught homeopathy, naturopathy, or nutrition were denied funding and accreditation. With the inability to compete financially, over half of them eventually closed.

•The American Medical Association (AMA) was installed as the official gatekeeper — Through strategic lobbying and financial backing, the Rockefeller Foundation pushed for laws that granted regulatory authority to the AMA, a private membership organization that previously held no official power.

This gave AMA the ability to accredit medical schools and oversee licensure standards at the state level. With this new authority, it became the gatekeeper of what would be considered legitimate medicine in the United States. As explained in the documentary:

“Unfortunately, the AMA was also heavily influenced by the Rockefeller Foundation … Consequently, the AMA promoted allopathic medicine to the point that it became the only approved form of medicine taught in the U.S. Consequently, doctors began prescribing the Rockefeller Foundation's patented medicines to manage, not cure, illnesses and diseases.”3

•Doctors are legally incentivized to follow pharmaceutical protocols — If a doctor recommends a natural or unconventional treatment and a patient suffers an adverse outcome, they face the threat of malpractice suits and professional sanctions. But if the same doctor prescribes an approved pharmaceutical, no matter how harmful or ineffective, it is legally defensible.

Because these drugs are the “standard of care,” doctors are protected by liability insurance and institutional guidelines. This has created a climate where risk-avoidance overrides innovation, and protocol compliance replaces independent thinking.

•Even journals were captured by industry — Scientific journals, increasingly reliant on drug company advertising and sponsorship, skewed publication in favor of products with commercial potential. Research that challenged dominant drug narratives was buried, while favorable studies, regardless of quality, were widely promoted.

•Alternative approaches are excluded by insurance and medical boards — Insurance systems are structured to reimburse only AMA-approved treatments, which primarily include drugs, surgeries, and diagnostic tests. Nutritional therapy, detoxification, and lifestyle-based interventions are often denied coverage, even if they outperform drugs in safety or efficacy.

•Educational systems suppress therapeutic diversity — Medical students are rarely taught about prevention, nutrition, or holistic strategies. Their training is shaped by pharmaceutical models that equate symptom suppression with care. This tunnel vision is the predictable outcome of a system engineered to reward profitable treatments, not those that restore autonomy or health.

This healthcare structure remains intact today. And the deeper you look at it, the clearer it becomes that the purpose of this system was never to eliminate disease, but to build a permanent, profitable industry around managing it.

Rethinking Cholesterol, Heart Disease, and Cognitive Decline
Modern medicine has framed cholesterol as a primary threat to health. From routine checkups to national guidelines, patients are taught to fear high numbers and suppress them with medication. Doctors reinforce this view through routine statin prescriptions, and entire treatment protocols revolve around reducing cholesterol to prevent heart disease. But this narrative was built more on commercial interest than biological truth.

•Cholesterol is actually essential for cellular and neurological function — Cholesterol plays a structural and metabolic role in every cell. It stabilizes cell membranes, regulates permeability, and serves as a building block for steroid hormones, including estrogen, testosterone, and cortisol. Your body also uses cholesterol to synthesize vitamin D and produce bile acids necessary for digestion.4

Nowhere is its importance more evident than in the brain, which houses nearly a quarter of your body’s total cholesterol despite accounting for just a few percent of its mass. Neurons depend on cholesterol for synapse formation and communication. Without it, cognitive function collapses.

•Suppressing cholesterol introduces metabolic instability — Over time, the campaign to lower cholesterol has driven levels below what’s needed for optimal function. Dr. Peter Glidden, a naturopathic doctor featured in the documentary, explained:

“Low cholesterol levels are associated with an increased chance of death, an increased chance of cancer, high percentage of birth defects, peripheral neuropathy, short temper and aggressive behavior, kidney failure, and dementia.”5

•Statins don’t prevent heart attacks and undermine key systems — Statins are a class of drugs that inhibit HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme in the liver involved in cholesterol synthesis. By blocking this enzyme, statins lower total and LDL cholesterol levels, which has led to their widespread use as a preventive measure for cardiovascular disease. Yet the evidence for their benefit is limited.

For people without a prior history of heart disease, statins offer little to no reduction in mortality or heart attack risk. Even in higher-risk populations, the absolute benefit is small, and often eclipsed by the drugs’ side effects, which include muscle pain, fatigue, liver dysfunction, memory loss, mood disruption, and reduced hormone levels, among others.

•Cholesterol thresholds were redefined to expand drug markets — Guidelines for what constitutes “high cholesterol” have steadily shifted. Numbers once considered normal are now treated as risky, not because of new evidence but due to committee decisions shaped by pharmaceutical advisors. Each downward revision expands the pool of statin candidates and the market. The redefinition of normal into pathological has been one of the most profitable moves in modern medicine.

•The rise in Alzheimer’s parallels low-fat, low-cholesterol policies — Alzheimer’s disease, now one of the leading causes of death in older adults, was virtually unheard of before 1940. Since the 1980s, its incidence has soared in tandem with low-fat dietary guidelines and widespread statin use.

Experts interviewed in the film describe Alzheimer’s as a manmade epidemic triggered by the chronic starvation of the brain’s most essential lipid, not an inevitable consequence of aging. These trends suggest the disturbing possibility that modern policies intended to protect the brain have helped dismantle it instead.

•Overlooked strategies point to broader metabolic dysfunction — For example, Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., an expert in natural medicine, noted that regular blood donation significantly lowers the risk of heart attack and stroke, likely by reducing iron overload and oxidative stress. These outcomes surpass what statins offer, yet they’re rarely promoted because they can’t be patented or monetized.

•Glyphosate could be the real driver behind lipid disruptions — While cholesterol has been vilified, the real metabolic threat may lie elsewhere. The film notes a tight correlation between glyphosate exposure through GMO corn and soy and rising LDL levels. Cholesterol levels rise not because of saturated fat or eggs, but as a biological response to environmental toxins. Meanwhile, heart attack trends don’t track with cholesterol levels at all, calling into question the entire lipid hypothesis.

How Did Nutritional Collapse Engineer the Rise of Chronic Disease?
The modern health crisis was manufactured through a long sequence of changes to how food is grown, processed, and delivered. The documentary traces how the food system has been reshaped by political and corporate forces, stripping food of its essential nutrients, altering its biochemical nature, and creating a population dependent on a system that no longer feeds the body what it needs to stay well.

•Industrial agriculture severed the soil-nutrition link — Diverse, biologically active topsoil was flattened under heavy machinery and drenched in synthetic fertilizer. Crops were bred for speed, size, and uniformity, not nutrient density. These result in a food supply that looks the same but no longer delivers the same materials your body requires to function.

•The body cannot make minerals, and neither can plants — Among the most essential of the missing inputs in food today are minerals, which come from soil and are only absorbed when microbial life converts them into bioavailable forms. When those microbes are destroyed, plants grow, but their nutritional core is hollow.

According to the film, between 1950 and 1999, data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) showed significant reductions in protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, riboflavin, and vitamin C in 43 common crops. The losses have continued since and have significantly affected human health.

“The more deficient we are, the sicker we get. And this is why everybody's getting sicker. It's because of mineral deficiencies, which have been accelerated by agribusiness,” said Dr. Peter Glidden, a holistic health expert.

•Government policy made the problem worse — When industrial farming began to exhaust the topsoil, the response was not ecological restoration but chemical replacement. Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium were added back to grow large, fast-yielding plants. But those were only three of the more than 60 essential minerals required for human health.

To make food cheaper and more shelf-stable, it was refined, extruded, sweetened, and preserved. Nutrients were stripped, fats were hydrogenated, and flavor was recreated through additives. What the population consumed became a simulation of food — high in calories, low in substance. And as people became sicker, they were told to eat less and move more, rather than to investigate what had been taken away.

•This same period saw the rise of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) — As corn subsidies pushed down the cost of raw material, food companies replaced traditional sugars with this lab-made sweetener that bypasses normal insulin regulation and floods the liver with unbuffered fructose. This resulted in fat buildup, mitochondrial stress, and fatty liver disease. HFCS also became a primary driver of metabolic syndrome.

•Glyphosate has turned our food into slow poison — Introduced as a weed killer for genetically modified (GM) crops, glyphosate acts as a mineral chelator and microbial toxin. As explained by Raymond Francis, a chemist and registered consultant:

“Glyphosate is the main component of weed killers like Roundup. It is a very toxic chemical that has already been linked to irreversible metabolic damage, infertility, obesity, learning disabilities and birth defects.

In 2009, American farmers sprayed 57 million pounds of glyphosate on food crops, mainly on genetically engineered corn and soy crops. U.S. farmers are now using so much glyphosate that researchers are finding it in the rain, in the air, in the streams, and our water supplies.”6

•Scientific warnings were buried and regulators looked away — Researchers who warned about glyphosate faced censorship, funding loss, and legal threats. Regulators relied on industry studies and approved its use without long-term safety data. As with pharmaceuticals, profit signaled safety. This is how GMO crops designed for glyphosate tolerance quietly flooded the food supply without public awareness or consent.

To understand how corporate interests like Big Tobacco helped design the modern food system, read “The Hidden History of Our Modern Food System — How Big Tobacco Shaped What We Eat.”

What Is Fluoridation — And Why Is It Still Used in Our Water Supply?
Fluoride is added to drinking water to purportedly reduce cavities across the population. This narrative has led most people to assume it’s both safe and beneficial. But did you know the chemical that enters most municipal water systems is not even the pharmaceutical-grade sodium fluoride used in controlled clinical settings?7

•Industrial waste rebranded as a public health tool — Hexafluorosilicic acid is classified as hazardous waste at its point of origin. If disposed of conventionally, it would require costly toxic waste management. Instead, it’s rerouted into the water supply, rebranded as a health intervention, and distributed into homes, schools, and hospitals. According to the film:

“Fluoridation of the drinking water supply is done to get rid of the toxic waste hexafluorosilicic acid from the smokestack scrubbers of aluminum and fertilizer factories. This practice has caused cancer and brain damage for almost 50 years.

The aluminum and fertilizer industries would have to pay a fortune to dispose of the hexafluorosilicic acid if it were not for the municipal water fluoridation … Dr. Dean Burk of the National Cancer Institute said fluoridation is a form of public mass murder, and he also said, ‘In point of fact, fluoride causes more human cancer death and causes it faster than any other chemical.’”8

•Linked to neurotoxicity and reduced IQ in children — Dozens of studies, including large meta-analyses, show consistent associations between fluoridated water and lower childhood IQ. The most vulnerable window is during prenatal and early-life development, when the blood-brain barrier is immature and the brain is highly sensitive to chemical interference.9,10

•Disrupts thyroid function, especially where iodine is low — Fluoride competes with iodine in the thyroid gland, impairing hormone production. Subclinical hypothyroidism in children, marked by slowed growth, mood changes, and altered development, emerges without diagnosis. In adults, long-term thyroid suppression contributes to fatigue, weight gain, and reproductive dysfunction.11

•Shielded by professional alliances and industry influence — The American Dental Association (ADA) remains one of fluoridation’s most active defenders, citing historical dental benefits while downplaying toxicological risks. But the ADA receives financial support from chemical industry stakeholders, and investigations have revealed conflicts of interest and selective data use.

•Delivered without consent, dose control, or monitoring — Fluoride exposure is not prescribed, not adjusted for age or body weight, and not subject to individual opt-out. Infants, pregnant women, and the medically vulnerable are exposed daily, with no system in place to track cumulative impact. Unlike pharmaceuticals, which require informed consent, fluoridation happens passively; one dose fits all.

The promise of public health is to protect, not expose. And yet fluoride remains in the water, shaping neurodevelopment, hormone balance, and metabolic health across generations, with no informed consent and no end in sight. To see how I’ve challenged this practice directly, read “My Open Letter to the American Dental Association.”

Cancer — A Preventable Crisis Ignored by Modern Medicine
Cancer rates keep rising, despite decades of medical advances. The documentary implicates glucose and promotes the ketogenic diet as a solution. But while it rightly exposes the failures of the modern cancer model, it miscasts glucose as the enemy. In my view, the real issue isn’t sugar — it’s mitochondrial damage caused by fat overload and oxidative stress.12

•Progress in cancer outcomes remains elusive — Despite hundreds of billions of dollars poured into research, the cancer death rate has barely improved. Patients still endure the same chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery protocols developed decades ago, often with harsh side effects and poor long-term results.

The documentary argues this stagnation isn’t due to a lack of knowledge. It’s the product of a medical model that deliberately obscures workable, non-pharmaceutical solutions to protect the pharmaceutical status quo.

•The role of glucose in cancer — The film emphasizes that cancer’s metabolic engine is glucose-dependent, noting that malignant cells burn through sugar at nearly 200 times the rate of normal tissue. This observation has shaped alternative strategies aimed at restricting glucose to slow cancer growth.

However, this framing overlooks an important nuance — glucose is not inherently carcinogenic, and sugar metabolism itself is not the root cause of cancer. In fact, glucose is the most efficient fuel for mitochondrial ATP production per oxygen molecule and plays an essential role in maintaining redox balance, nuclear integrity, and antioxidant defenses.

•The ketogenic diet restricts glucose, but may come at a cost — Ketogenic diets induce a metabolic state called ketosis, which lowers insulin and blood glucose while raising ketone levels. The documentary promotes this shift as a way to exploit cancer’s rigid metabolism and starve tumors of fuel.

Some early studies have shown promise in stabilizing aggressive cancers through dietary ketosis, and fasting can mimic similar effects short-term. However, long-term ketosis is not without risk, and it is not universally beneficial. Ketogenic metabolism relies on beta-oxidation and increased fat intake, which raises mitochondrial oxidative stress, reduces electron transport efficiency, and impair metabolic flexibility.

Clinical data show that long-term ketogenic diets increase LDL cholesterol, accelerate muscle loss, and raise the risk of cardiovascular mortality. These tradeoffs may not be justified in individuals whose mitochondria are capable of oxidizing glucose cleanly and efficiently through restored metabolic pathways.13

•Metabolic dysfunction stems from fat overload, not carbohydrate excess — The core issue is not that your body is using glucose. It’s because your mitochondria can’t use it properly. One overlooked cause is lipid-induced insulin resistance, which occurs when excess fat blocks glucose uptake via the Randle cycle.

When fat oxidation dominates, glucose metabolism is suppressed, lactate accumulates, and cells shift toward anaerobic pathways. These are hallmarks of the cancer phenotype. Rather than cutting glucose, restoring glucose utilization by reducing fat intake and supporting mitochondrial repair may be the more biologically sound solution.

•A real solution supports, not starves, glucose metabolism — Instead of chronic carb restriction, the path forward lies in restoring the cell’s ability to use glucose well. This includes improving mitochondrial membrane composition, restoring enzyme function, reducing linoleic acid, and supporting nutrient cofactors required for clean glucose combustion. In this view, glucose isn’t a toxin but a vital energy substrate that’s being poorly handled due to upstream damage.

For a deeper look at how glucose fuels cellular resilience and why it deserves to be reclaimed, not restricted, read “Glucose — The Ideal Fuel for Your Cells.”

The Big Secret — Health Was Always in Your Hands
The most striking message in “The Big Secret” isn’t about hidden toxins or corrupt institutions. It’s about power, specifically the biological power each person carries. Despite decades of dependency, censorship, and regulatory control, the most potent force in medicine remains your body’s ability to repair, regulate, and recover. The film makes clear that the system didn’t just overlook this truth. It was designed to suppress it.

•The health system was engineered to manage symptoms, not restore function — Chronic disease is framed as inevitable and treatment means lifelong medication. Nutrient-poor food is normalized, metabolic poisons like fluoride are defended, and biological dysfunction is treated as fate. But this framing serves institutions, not individuals. Real healing begins not with more control, but with fewer interferences and the return of what your body needs to thrive.

•The root inputs of health are simple, unprofitable, and biologically potent — Achieving optimal health doesn’t begin with a pill. It starts with minerals, real food, movement, metabolic renewal, clean water, light, rest, and community. These fundamentals don’t generate recurring revenue, but they recalibrate biology at the source, reversing patterns that pharmaceuticals only manage.

•Censorship has silenced the strategies that work — The film documents how clinicians who promote natural healing are often discredited, censored, or removed. Therapies that bypass pharmaceutical dependence are dismissed not because they threaten the medical business model. Reclaiming your health means seeking out what the system tries hardest to hide.

•Health is not fragile, and it’s not inherited from institutions — You are not broken by default. Health isn’t a privilege tied to income, insurance, or expert access. It’s something you build through choices once you understand how the system works, and more importantly, how to step outside of it.

The film’s final warning is also its core truth — the greatest threat to the medical industry isn’t a competitor. It’s the informed individual, someone who no longer waits to be “saved,” no longer accepts decline as normal, and no longer forgets that biology was built for resilience.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Today’s Medical Myths and Hidden Health Truths
Q: Do statins actually prevent heart attacks?

A: For people without prior cardiovascular disease, statins offer little to no benefit in preventing heart attacks. They lower cholesterol levels but come with significant side effects, including muscle pain, memory loss, liver dysfunction, and CoQ10 depletion. In many cases, lifestyle changes offer more protection with fewer risks.

Q: Why are alternative treatments discouraged in mainstream medicine?

A: Alternative and natural treatments are often excluded from insurance coverage and medical education because they can’t be patented or monetized. Doctors face legal and financial disincentives for recommending anything outside of pharmaceutical protocols, even when safer or more effective options exist.

Q: How does medical training shape the way doctors treat disease?

A: Most medical schools focus heavily on pharmaceuticals, surgery, and disease management, not prevention, nutrition, or root-cause treatment. Over time, this has created a system where doctors are exceptionally skilled at stabilizing symptoms but underequipped to address root causes.

Q: Why is chronic disease so common today?

A: Chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease are rising due to a combination of nutrient-depleted food, chemical exposure, pharmaceutical overuse, and a healthcare model that treats symptoms rather than causes. Poor soil quality, processed diets, environmental toxins, and sedentary lifestyles also contribute to systemic breakdown.

Q: What’s the biggest health myth today?

A: One of the biggest myths is that chronic disease is inevitable and must be managed with lifelong drugs. In reality, many diseases are rooted in reversible dysfunctions caused by environmental and dietary factors. Health isn’t something granted by institutions. It’s something rebuilt by removing interference and restoring what your body truly needs."

"Story at-a-glance
The FDA has issued a nationwide warning about 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH), an opioid substance found in some products available in gas stations and convenience stores across the U.S.
7-OH binds strongly to opioid receptors and has been shown to be more potent than morphine, yet it is unregulated, lacks approved medical use, and is often sold without proper safety labeling
Many 7-OH products are disguised as energy shots or wellness aids, often with bright packaging that looks like candy or juice. This makes them easy to grab, especially for young consumers, and they’re frequently marketed with false claims for pain, anxiety, or mood support
Most 7-OH products sold in the U.S. are lab-altered or highly processed, delivering doses far beyond what’s found in natural kratom leaves and carrying a much greater risk of dependence and harm
If you’ve used 7-OH products, tapering gradually, supporting your body with movement, nutrition, and professional guidance helps reduce withdrawal symptoms and support a safe recovery process

You have probably seen them lined up by the cash register at a gas station or tucked onto the shelves of a corner store — small bottles of energy shots, brightly colored gummies, and novelty products that promise relaxation, focus, or a quick burst of energy. Their packaging is eye-catching and designed to feel as approachable as candy or soda, making them easy to grab without much second thought.

Behind those labels, however, many of these products contain a little-known ingredient called 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH), a byproduct of the plant kratom. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an urgent nationwide warning against this substance, emphasizing that it carries serious health risks despite being sold openly as a “natural” product.1

The FDA’s announcement has drawn national attention and sparked urgent calls for action as 7-OH products continue to appear on store shelves without proper oversight. For you and anyone you care about, the warning serves as a reminder to look more closely at what’s being marketed as safe, because the stakes for your health could be greater than you realize.

FDA Cracks Down on 7-OH — A Potent Opioid Sold in Plain Sight
On July 29, 2025, the FDA took its first formal step toward restricting 7-OH, a potent opioid compound being sold in vape shops and convenience stores. The move follows growing concern that 7-OH is fueling patterns of misuse and addiction reminiscent of the early days of the opioid epidemic.2

•The FDA recommends scheduling 7-OH under federal law — The agency announced that 7-OH should be placed under the Controlled Substances Act, a decision that would classify it alongside other regulated opioids. U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. framed the action as essential to protecting public health, stating:

“Today, we’re taking action on 7-OH as a critical step in the fight against opioid addiction. We will protect the health of our nation’s youth as we advance our mission to Make America Healthy Again.”3

•Potent opioid activity with no legal medical use — Regulators confirmed that 7-OH is a highly potent compound that acts on the same brain receptors targeted by opioids. Under the proposed scheduling, 7-OH would be designated as a Schedule I substance, the most restricted category reserved for drugs with high potential for abuse, no accepted medical use, and no established safety profile.

•FDA targets illegal sales and false claims — As a result, the FDA emphasized that it cannot be legally sold as a dietary supplement, food ingredient, or over-the-counter product. In June 2025, the FDA sent warning letters to seven companies marketing 7-OH in various formulations. These products made unauthorized claims for conditions such as anxiety, pain, opioid withdrawal, or mood disorders.

•Scientific review shows high risk of addiction and abuse — The scheduling recommendation was based on a full medical and scientific review, which concluded that 7-OH carries significant risks. FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary warned that its spread could mirror the beginnings of the opioid crisis, when the dangers of prescription opioids were underestimated.

“Vape stores are popping up in every neighborhood in America, and many are selling addictive products like concentrated 7-OH. After the last wave of the opioid epidemic, we cannot get caught flat-footed again,” Makary stated. “7-OH is an opioid that can be more potent than morphine. We need regulation and public education to prevent another wave of the opioid epidemic.”4

•Public education campaign launched — The agency has released educational materials for public distribution, including a dedicated report for health providers and a consumer bulletin titled “Hiding in Plain Sight,” which highlights how these products are often disguised as kratom and sold without adequate warning.5

•Reports of severe health effects are mounting — Adverse event reports submitted to the FDA describe troubling outcomes linked to 7-OH use, including seizures, gastrointestinal distress, liver injury, depression, anxiety, insomnia, and withdrawal symptoms such as cold sweats, irritability, body aches, and restlessness. Given the severity of these, the agency urged consumers to avoid all products containing 7-OH.6

The FDA’s recommendation now moves to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), which will decide whether to officially schedule 7-OH as a controlled substance. That process includes a public comment period before becoming law. Until then, the compound remains widely available in retail outlets, leaving the public exposed to unregulated products with opioid effects and real risks.

What Exactly Is 7-OH and How Is It Related to Kratom?
Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is a tropical evergreen tree native to Southeast Asia, where it’s long been used as a traditional remedy for fatigue, pain, and mood and anxiety disorders. The leaves contain dozens of alkaloids, but the one most abundant and pharmacologically significant is mitragynine, the compound from which 7-OH is formed in the liver.7

•Mitragynine is kratom’s primary alkaloid — Making up about 60% of the leaf’s alkaloid content, mitragynine acts as a partial agonist at the μ-opioid receptor. It produces stimulant and analgesic effects without fully activating the receptor in the way that drugs like morphine do.8

•7-OH is rare in the plant but extremely potent when isolated — In natural kratom leaves, 7-OH typically makes up less than 0.05% of total alkaloid mass. Only a small fraction of mitragynine is metabolized into 7-OH inside the body. Commercial products on store shelves often bypass this slow conversion process, delivering synthesized or extracted 7-OH directly at concentrations far higher than anything the plant itself provides.

•Pharmacology reveals potency and risk similar to opioid — Unlike mitragynine’s weaker receptor activity, 7-OH engages the μ-opioid receptor far more strongly. In animal models, it produces rapid pain relief at lower doses than morphine, with sedation and reinforcement that point to clear opioid-class effects.

Researchers describe both mitragynine and 7-OH as “atypical opioids” because they bias signaling toward pain-relief pathways, but this does not eliminate the risks of dependence, overdose, or other harm.

•Addiction potential is clear in experimental models — In laboratory studies, animals repeatedly dosed with 7-OH displayed opioid-like patterns of self-administration, withdrawal, and drug-seeking behavior. These findings align with user reports describing powerful sedation, rapid onset, and a strong compulsion to redose throughout the day — all markers of high abuse potential.

Understanding how 7-OH differs from the natural chemistry of kratom is key. In the plant, it exists only in trace amounts. When isolated and concentrated, however, it becomes a pharmacologically powerful drug with little research to guide safe use. That leap from trace metabolite to high-dose product is what transforms 7-OH into such a hazardous and unpredictable substance.

What About Fresh Kratom Leaves?
When headlines link 7-OH to kratom, it’s important to clarify that the plant and the compound are not the same. According to Christopher McCurdy, Ph.D., professor of medicinal chemistry and former National Institutes of Health (NIH) opioid chemistry fellow, fresh kratom and post-processed products differ significantly in chemical composition and potency.9

•Post-harvest processing shapes alkaloid content — According to McCurdy’s team, 7-OH appears to form during post-harvest changes, particularly drying and oxidation. The longer and harsher the processing, the more 7-OH is likely to develop. By contrast, lab tests on fresh leaf preparations from native Malaysian kratom trees showed no detectable 7-OH.

•Marketing doesn’t match chemistry — In the U.S., kratom is often sold under names like “red vein,” “green vein,” or “Maeng Da.” These labels suggest chemical consistency, but in reality, factors like soil quality, sunlight, harvest timing, and drying methods drive far more variation. McCurdy’s analyses found that even supposedly “strong” strains sometimes had low alkaloid levels, while cheaper or generically labeled samples tested stronger.

•Traditional teas and acidifiers extract selectively — Southeast Asian users typically brew kratom tea using fresh leaves and may add acidic ingredients like lemon juice to increase alkaloid solubility. This method extracts only a subset of compounds and avoids concentrating them to extreme levels. Alcohol- or solvent-based Western extracts pull out different sets of alkaloids, altering potency and effect, and introducing more 7-OH in the process.

•Safety depends on context and use — Compared to opioids or synthetic 7-OH products, fresh kratom appears to carry a more favorable safety profile, but that does not mean it is risk-free. It is a psychoactive substance, and its effects vary widely between individuals and products.

Certain types of kratom are still addictive, so make sure to do your research before trying it. One place to start is the American Kratom Association.10 Check out my interview with McCurdy in “Kratom as an Alternative for Opium Withdrawal” to learn more about this plant.

Until there are more standardized production and clearer research on long-term safety, kratom should be approached with care. For those considering this substance for pain relief, there are other safe and effective options to explore before turning to concentrated kratom products. Get a list of safer solutions for pain relief in “Opioid Deaths Continue to Rise Despite Drop in Prescriptions.”

6 Strategies to Help You Wean Off 7-OH Products
If you or a loved one has been using products that contain 7-OH, a thoughtful tapering plan makes the process safer and more manageable. Here’s how to approach it:11,12,13

1.Work with a health professional — Find someone familiar with withdrawal from natural substances, whether a physician, integrative practitioner, or other qualified provider who will take your experience seriously. A professional will help you come up with a withdrawal plan, monitor symptoms, and adjust the approach if challenges arise. This is especially important if you’ve been using 7-OH daily or at higher doses.

2.Reduce gradually, not all at once — Stopping cold turkey often leads to intense withdrawal. Instead, lower your intake step by step by cutting the dose or spacing out the time between doses. For instance, if you consume 7-OH product twice a day, reduce to once daily for a week, then shift to every other day.

3.Nourish your body properly — Give your system the resources it needs to adapt. Stay hydrated and focus on regular meals built around high-quality protein, healthy fats, and mineral-rich whole foods. Limit processed snacks, alcohol, and sugary drinks, which amplify fatigue, mood swings, and cravings.

4.Move daily — You don’t need intense exercise. Gentle, consistent activity, such as walking, stretching, or light yoga, helps regulate mood, reduce tension, and promote restorative sleep. Even 10 to 20 minutes a day reinforces progress and builds resilience.

5.Avoid other stimulants or sedatives — Now isn’t the time to lean on caffeine, alcohol, or other substances to take the edge off. They interfere with your body’s natural reset and make it harder to interpret withdrawal symptoms. Keep your inputs clean so your system resets without additional stressors.

6.Seek support and connection — Withdrawal has emotional as well as physical dimensions. Share your plan with a trusted friend, family member, therapist, or peer support group. Regular check-ins provide accountability, encouragement, and a reminder that you’re not doing this alone.

Coming off 7-OH may be challenging, but with these strategies, it’s possible to break free safely. Each small step is progress, and consistency is what makes the transition last.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About 7-Hydroxymitragynine
Q: What is 7-hydroxymitragynine, and why should I be concerned about it?

A: 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) is a lab-synthesized or concentrated compound derived from the kratom plant. It acts like an opioid in your body and has been linked to serious health risks including seizures, withdrawal, liver injury, and addiction. The FDA has formally warned against its use and recommended that it be regulated as a controlled substance.

Q: I’ve seen 7-OH products sold in stores — how is that legal?

A: Right now, 7-OH is not yet classified as a controlled substance, which is why it’s still being sold in gas stations, vape shops, and online. But the FDA has called for it to be scheduled under federal law, and warned that it cannot legally be sold as a dietary supplement, food, or over-the-counter product.

Q: Is 7-OH the same as kratom, or are they different?

A: They’re different. While 7-OH is derived from kratom, it’s found in only trace amounts in the natural plant. Most 7-OH sold in stores is either synthesized or concentrated through heavy processing. Fresh kratom used traditionally has a different chemical profile and is far less potent than isolated 7-OH products.

Q: How do I tell if a product contains 7-OH before I buy it?

A: Check the label closely, but be aware — many 7-OH products are disguised under names like “kratom extract,” “enhanced kratom,” or “relaxation shots.” If the product promises intense effects like pain relief, euphoria, or opioid withdrawal support and doesn’t list full ingredients, it’s best to avoid it. The safest move is to steer clear of unregulated products entirely, especially those sold in gas stations or smoke shops.

Q: How do I safely stop taking products that contain 7-OH?

A: To taper off 7-OH safely, reduce your dose gradually instead of quitting suddenly. Work with a health professional who understands withdrawal. Support your body with hydration, nourishing food, regular physical activity, and emotional connection. Avoid stimulants or sedatives that could complicate the process. "
