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)?

That’s just stupid. You can make a million selling some medication each month for the rest of a patients life, and simultantiously sell the cure for 2 million to the rich patients.
