Has mankind lost the opportunity to find cures for diseases purely because of its profit-driven destructiveness?

Mankind still has the [i]opportunity[/i] to find cures for diseases, but would rather create diseases out of it's profit-driven-ness.
We've had true cancer cures for years. But you'll never see them in mainstream medicine. There's no financial gain in that. Allopathic medicine isn't about wellness maintenance. It's about disease maintenance. There's no profit in curing people.

Yes. I saw that. Not a bad little movie. Of course, you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find a Prince. (Or in that case, ants)😷

The pharmaceuticals profession could be blamed of that. So-called "complementary" therapies still seem to be less greed-driven.

There are cures but of course the health industry usually refuses to seek them out. Then when there are more apparent remedies, they charge ridiculous amounts of money for it. So therefore people should seek out ways to cure themselves.

I wouldn't necessarily say that. There is definitely a focus on profit over cures.

Oh and that movie was terrible, but I understand why you made the reference. 👍
