This one is kinda well known but I’ve only recently started educating myself about the subject and came to the same conclusion:
Plants and mushrooms are much, much more effective at healing physical as well as mental diseases than most people think but the powers that be don’t want us to grow our own medicine so they claim everything is either ineffective or dangerous compared to what you can buy at a pharmacy.
Buddy, any plant / mushroom that works, will be made into a pill. That’s one thing big pharma is really good at, it’s exploiting what works in nature and going “we did that!”
Big pharma conspiracy theory, which I don’t know how controversial it is, is that they keep finding excuses to pump people full of pills. Slight headache? Pill! Overweight? Pill. Depressed? Pill.
Anything and everything, where step one should be diet / lifestyle, is immediately funneled to pills.
I always feel the need to specify having studied pharmacy: it’s the business side with the MBAs who try to do that shit. The science side is like “oh neat,” and these assholes are like “make it make money!”
The AMA was literally formed to keep all forms of healthcare to a few rich white guys called doctors, and prevent nurses and midwives from ‘practicing medicine’.
There’s also a whole lot more going on in health than chemistry. Placebos and holistic approaches work, and science doesn’t know why, because science has to remove all variables in order to function, whereas the human condition is such a complex pile of interoperating nonsense sometimes the only way to get anywhere is to step back, look at, and address the greater picture.

I don’t know if this is necessarily harmless because an extreme version of this is what causes people to try using essential oils to cure their cancer
