He disclosed this in a recent interview with TV reality star and host of ‘Echoo Room’, Teddy A.

He added that the health sector is a trillion-dollar business for health professionals.

Speaking during the interview, Jim Iyke said, “There’s a GMO everywhere. The orthodox medicines; the lies. If I say it anywhere, it upsets them [medical practitioners].
“Medical doctors are basically trained all through their career not to heal. It’s big pharma business. If they tell you what to take and they heal you, you’re not a customer anymore and they won’t make money.
“That’s a trillion-dollar industry.”
After the video of the interview made the rounds on social media, it elicited mixed reactions.
While some netizens agreed with the 48-year-old actor, others chastised him for spreading a false narrative.
