YouTube videos are not academic sources.
More to the point, if you're not prepared to address challenges of validity when you present unsubstantiated claims on a medical themed forum, perhaps an online discussion board is not the place for you.

Sorry, I should have said treatment for epilepsy, not cure.

Thank you, but let me pop the 'Big pharma conspiracy bubble' for CBD and epilepsy: Epidiolex is a drug made from CBD and it was approved for testing by the US Food and Drugs Administration (even though cannabis is illegal in the United States). This recent study was supported by GW Pharmaceuticals. Findings were presented at the 2015 American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting.

As you can see, CBD is being tested by a pharmaceutical company (I haven't read the whole report yet).
But this is off topic anyway, the OP is about cancer.

You completely missed the point.

That's why I said they NOW say CBD works and are looking for FDA approval. They had to synthesize a pill before they'd admit it works.
is a liquid formulation of pure plant-derived CBD
... to get a purer CBD concentrate, GW uses a high tech machine to conduct an extra purification process, creating a product with pure CBD and an almost immeasurable amount of THC.
When the UN meets to discuss sustainability of the earth and the conclusion is that humans need to be culled, it seems to me that cures for cancer would be detrimental to their agenda.

An obvious implication of a “hidden cure” conspiracy is that researchers and business owners are willing to put the
So I was doing my usual trawl of various websites that come my way, and I came across this article. It's pretty spot on, and certainly gives more than adequate reason why companies suppressing a cure for cancer is extremely unlikely. I will only quote from a few of these ideas, in order to encourage readers to go to the original website to give credit where credit is due. I would encourage those who believe there is a conspiracy and a cancer cure exists to read the claims put forth before jumping in with complaints about evil 'big pharma'.

Medical researchers and their families are just as susceptible to cancer and other diseases as anyone else.
company and shareholders ahead of the lives of themselves and their loved ones. It implies that the thousands of individuals involved in research are flawlessly obedient drones never giving in to the temptation to help someone they care for deeply, or to better the world. It means doctors and scientists must be willing to sit and watch their mothers, their daughters, and their spouses suffer and struggle with a disease they know themselves to be curable.
Pushback from insurance companies.
Again, if any conspiracy theorist with a computer can find evidence of a hidden cure, then insurance companies must also be aware of it. Why would big insurance companies continue paying for expensive yet inefficacious treatments when a cheap and effective cure is available? If hiding the cure brings in the big bucks, then insurance companies are the ones largely responsible for paying the bill. They’d have every incentive imaginable to uncover and expose the suppression of superior and cheap treatments. Why would they be motivated to keep quiet while forking over huge sums of money to something they know to be a fraud?
Actually, companies WOULD make a lot of money from cures.
In what universe would a treatment of such monumental efficacy not be marketable? If it could be patented, then the inventors would go down in history for their achievements (which to many scientists is more valuable than just being ridiculously rich but unrecognized for their accomplishments), and the company they worked for would make billions. Sometimes conspiracy theorists respond to this by claiming that the hidden cures might not be patentable, but that’s not a valid argument either (for two reasons).
In my opinion, the 'hidden cancer cure conspiracy' is just that, a conspiracy. I'm sure that many will argue vehemently against this, but I encourage those who disagree to read the article I have linked, and put forth logical rebuttals, rather than conspiratorial ramblings.
I am more inclined to believe that there is an entire industry dedicated to promoting 'natural' cures for cancer which are simply scams. Seeing that close to 40% of men and women have a lifetime risk of developing cancer, it seems ludicrous that a simple cure could be 'hidden'. The fact also exists that cancer is in fact not a 'disease', but rather, a category of highly diverse diseases. What may work for one cancer may be completely ineffective against a different type of cancer.

Sorry OP you're wrong. I can't name names so you're going to have to take my word on this.
A relative of mine is a driver for a pharmaceutical millionnaire. When he asked him about mebandazole he openly told him that they know it can shrink cancerous tumours. But, it would cost too much money in research to get it to market so ultimately wouldn't be profitable.
