    Am I wrong to be paranoid that if corporations found out about plants that could cure this or that disease forever, that they may destroy those plants to maintain a money faucet for treatments (as in not permanent cures)?

      Hard to contain a plant and a cure like this. Science has a weird way of several people discovering the same thing around the same time.

      It’s like the conditions that made it probable for one person to discover it are the same conditions that make it probable for 10 people to discover it.
