most of our modern medicines infact came from the rainforest
theres estimates that there are still millions of undiscovered species there.
but with thousands of acres an hour wiped out we are losing so many species and so many possible cures we will one day need

That wa sin reference to the possibility that a flower in the rain forest can cure cancer. I cant say it doesnt exist just as much as someone can say it does.

Whether or not there is such a flower is irrelevent. Cancer is a mutation of our cells caused by unnatural stimulus. If we were living right we wouldnt NEED these "advances".
As for natural toxins, there are always natural indications of such things. Poisonous animals are often brightly colored and marked. It does not need to be taught to a young animal that these potential prey are poisonous because animlas have a natural instinct.
We are so dependent upon authority to tell us what to do that we have forgetten how to use our intuition.
Why would a human ever want to venture into such a cave? What would be appealing about it. If curiosity lead someone in against their intuition, then maybe they would die, but that would be their own fault wouldnt it.

the cost is dependence
we would not struggle without medicine and energy if we never became dependent on them
we are so weak now as a species
a bird or a pig gets sick and it threatens to wipe us out because we allowed medicines to take over our natural imune systems jobs we cannot adapt anymore to new illnesses withoutr developing new medicuines
nature certainly does provide all we need.
every medicine has its base in nature, and the medicines tend to grow right where u need it, for instance if an herb causes a disease or illness most likely the curew will be growing right next to it

altitude sickness is caused by being above 10,000 feet for too long and breathing too thin air.. above 10,000 feet 2 plants grow wild, osha and yarrow both are great for curing altitude sickness and allowing you to breathe thinner air.

every day we wipe out thousands of species of plants that are often undiscovered while turning the rainforrests into grazing lands for cattle. many of these species could have medicinal value we wil never discover now...proffit in that case came before sensability..and for a quick buck we may have doomed ourselves.. the cure for cancer could have been found in a flower that as your reading this was bulldozed out of existence

Actually everything we need isnt provided for free. Granted most things we need are provided by the earth.. But we would have struggle as a race without the progress we have made in the fields of medicine, conservation, and energy. Granted we got here at a cost. But there is always a cost for progress.

Everything we "manufactured" to help us especially medically, was only needed becaise we are not living naturally.

We are creating unnatural problems for ourselves and then patting ourselves on the back for coming up with unnatural "solutions" to these problems that only casue more problems.

How many sick or obese animals do you see in the wild?
