[edit] I
I don't think this sentiment concerning the Flexner Report is really considered in the entry. Thank you for any additions that are made due to this comment. I believe that there are some people who believe that the Flexner Report was at least partially motivated by the Carnegie Foundation's investments in pharmacuetical drugs. That organization had a vested interest that medical philosophies that are non considered alternative medicines that did not primarily use pharmacuetical drugs were methodically eliminated from the United States. The Flexner Report, in some circles, is viewed as a power move made to make the medical communitiy dependent on drugs by eliminating any other medical philosophies from even being practised in the United States (it became illegal to practice medicine without a degree from an accreditted institution).
