Your title is slightly misleading. No one tried to “suppress” anything, the article clearly stated that the concept was so novel that few wanted to take a chance on it.

Novel?
Because life threatening bone marrow transplants, radiation and chemo are such better options. Several of these treatments take months to be affective with awful side affects. As well as for this type of cancer, life long treatment with expensive chemo and radiation is required to keep this chronic cancer in check.
More likely the pharmaceuticals risk the loss of millions if not billions in cash, from a one shot wonder drug that only causes mild flu like symptoms that can melt pounds of cancer in weeks. These were clearly advanced cancer cases, if each of the 3 patients had at least 5 pounds of cancer.
This method also has the potential to be used for other types of cancer as well!
We would have never known about it, if it had not been independently funded from a charity started by the family of a deceased child that had cancer.
Gosh I sure hope novel idea's like this are kept in check by the National Cancer Institute and by pharmaceuticals! Wouldn't want to get too close to a cure!

I'm currently working on a cure for cancer, which involves brown recluse spider venom. the idea is that the venom is directly introduced into the tumor, then the tumor is eaten away by the highly acidic venom and turned into a fibrous raisin that the immune system can dissolve and flush out. now all i need is a terminal cancer victim to introduce the venom into and document the affects, and if it proves to be of an all natural benefit and does what i believe will occur, then we will be one more step closer to ridding the body of aggressive tumors and the use of chemicals, drugs, and radical radiation treatment.
if you're going to fight fire with fire , do it all natural
because clearly them damn spiders don't have any other use other than messing peoples skin up

Both the National Cancer Institute and several pharmaceutical companies declined to pay for the research. Neither applicants nor funders discuss the reasons an application is turned down. But good guesses are the general shortage of funds and the concept tried in this experiment was too novel and, thus, too risky for consideration.
