Recently I had a conversation with someone who has been in the oncology field for well over 20 years. I have huge respect for this man and consider him very intelligent. However at one point of our conversation he said something that caught me off guard and left me quite surprised.
He stated (and firmly believes) that there is a decent size chance that a cure for cancer has been found…but is being ‘suppressed’. He proceeded to talk about cancer being a multi-billion dollar industry…etc. I didn’t quite register the rest since I couldn’t digest the fact that he actually believed there was a conspiracy against the cure for cancer.
In my opinion I don’t believe that a cure for cancer could ever be suppressed. I wanted to know your guys thoughts on this…Do you think a conspiracy exists?
Well...I don't know if a conspiracy exists for cancer...but I wouldn't be surprised....
E.g we a know a doctor in SL who is like a miracle worker, my mom is one of his many miracles...he does all the herbal and gold mixed treatments...in SL all the other doctors hate him, coz they have lost many patients to this man, and he keeps actually curing his patients...and he treats cancer patients as well...and he seems to be doing just fine without any of the western medicine...we know one of the cancer patients personally...
Sometimes I feel...the medical industry is just that...an industry...doctors (not all of them ofcoz), do not care much about CURING the patient...they care more about all the $$ they will earn by prescribing all sorts of meds, and all sorts of tests and surgeries they will put a patient through...

I can understand your sentiments, however there are so many people involved in research and nowadays, unfortunately, almost everyone has been affected one way or another by someone who has had cancer (including researchers and people in the industry). Therefore at one point in their lives, these people would understand the importance and value of finding a cure.
Maybe I'm being naïve but it is hard for me to believe that so many people would be okay with putting aside a possible cure........all because of money.

The fact that Med companies make BILLIONS of dollars each year and any cure would decimate their earnings as their medicines would go out of favor, the theory isn't far fetched.
Big companies can run countries and that's a fact.
Sad but true. I’ll even go one step further and say that they are actually the ones giving us the diseases, so that they can get us hooked to their drugs…
Big companies can run countries and that's a fact.
And how can the various countries maintain the "secret" (cancer cure) on a global scale...when they can't manage a united front with other serious issues?
How do you keep something like this under wraps successfully...it's hard to imagine that shareholders of the profits would so easily risk the lives of their loved ones...or that a leak cannot take place from someone with a conscience or even out of revenge.
When there are so many types of cancer with the causes being so varied (virus, carcinogens, family history, lifestyle)...is it possible for there to be one cure that "fits all"..?
Guac..here’s an interesting youtube documentary on the subject..rather scary. I haven’t finished watching all of it and I may look into other videos later on. But it does cover the points made by Shak and Zap. The conglomeration of pharmaceutical companies known as Big Pharma controls medical education, the research process (lab testing, data, etc), publication of data, the FDA. I do wonder…wouldn’t finding a cure for cancer also be lucrative for Big Pharma?

It would be interesting to get doctors' opinions.
True but I'd think the cure would be same at the basic level
Exactly my line of thinking. I doubt there will ever be one cure that will ‘fit all’ types of cancers, however many cancer cells express the same receptors/proteins that can be targeted by a single agent/drug…that is why a certain drug may have the potential to treat many different types of cancer.
Thank you! I tried to watch as much as I could…but for some reason yt keeps stopping and having to load. I can see how this argument could go both ways and I certainly don’t mean to dismiss how much influence pharma companies have…but I’m not entirely convinced they would be able to suppress a cure. How could they have managed to buy out every single person involved in the process (clinical trials and all)??
As you said they can also make loads of money off of a cure as well.
He was speaking in general terms. He wasn’t referring to a one-drug-cure-all.
but wouldnt money and greed be an incentive to those that found the cure to publicize it too? they could make a bigger pile of dough curing all the cancers in the world than by getting paid a bribe of a fraction of what current cancer treatment profits are, all while being immortalized in fame and goodwill and all that nice stuff.
i would be very skeptical of such conspiracy claims.
I agree with queer on this. I mean there are research centres all over the world pumping millions if not billions into cancer research. To find a cure for cancer would be considered a huge achievement and the researchers would want to commercialize it straight away. Why would they want to not publish their findings and remain anonymous instead of going down in history for the remarkable research? There would be a great deal of national pride in it for the governments too.
before i read the replies...i just wanna say...a lot of people say this!! i really wonder what the truth is
Then watch the documentary to learn the reasons behind the conspiracy.
I'm curious about Essiac and I've been reading up on it. I wonder how many doctors would suggest an all natural treatment like Essiac either prior to treatments like radiation and chemotheraoy (if the cancer is at an earlier stage)...or in conjunction or when there appears to be no hope. According to the documentary natural cures need to be patented and require money to research their effectiveness which big Pharma doesn't want to do and so the FDA will say that it can't guarantee the effectiveness of the natural product.....and we do see this disclaimer written on the bottles of natural supplements from the grocery store, GNC/Vitamin Shoppe. However, don't pharmaceutical pills also contain extracts of herbs and such? If funds are received for research...then why can't/won't natural products be researched? How else do we learn about the efficacy of gingko or St. John's Wort...unless the research conducted is independent of Big Pharma.

Not saying the conspiracy claim is true but logically your argument has a big flaw.
How?
Think about small pox just as an example. Not as a literal head to head comparison with cancer.
Small pox is eradicated to a level that it is not spread and vaccine is no longer recommended at mass level. Hence, vaccine makers did make money initially but not now.
If cancer in general can be eliminated by some wonder drugs, then the drug makers will make money only for a short time.
On the other hand, chemotherapy, radiation treatment business, surgeries, treatment of any complications of cancer treatment, ancillary procedures like IV port placement, equipment used in these treatments and these industries, technical staff etc. etc. 'business' will always outweigh the revenue earned by selling wonder drugs and eventually 'curing' the cancer.
In other words, long term earning potential is always better than short term business.
