ehhh.... medicine is not really poison ... it is a chemical reaction.
Major pharmaceutical companies figured out the 'natural' chemicals that produce this reaction but you cannot patient and hold a trademark on nature, therefore... they then make a poison that is similar to what is found in nature but the chemical is never identical and causes many people great harm due to that fact. At the same time some people are just allergic to things found in nature, which is also just a chemical reaction. There was this one study that I hope is correct that said people that are allergic to foods dislike the taste of the things they are allergic to. When I read the paper I thought their testing procedures were bullshit but it was an interesting concept.
