It's like you said, why would you want to cure it when you bring in billions of dollars a years on medicines to treat it.
Just like energy, why would they release a new energy source that could be renewable when they can charge me 50 quid a week to fill up my car, sad world we live in.edit on 10/6/2012 by DeyTookErJeobs because: (no reason given)

These non-traditional treatments or "cures" might have some validity, but by and large they are not nearly as effective as traditional chemo. They sometimes take years to work if they work at all. Sometimes the cancer is just too aggressive or fast-growing to allow for natural cures.
It is great that all this research is on-going, but I don't believe there is any grand conspiracy to hide a cure. Too many rich, powerful, and well-connected people succumb to the disease. I'm pretty sure if it was as simple as Apricot seeds then Ted Kennedy would still be with us.
(There are) situations where the services of orthodox medicine are essential during an alternative cancer treatment. For example, if a tumor on the pancreas is pressing against the bile duct it is critical to seek medical help immediately to keep the patient alive. Do not depend on alternative cancer treatments to quickly shrink dangerous tumors!!
In the 1920s Johanna Brandt had a 100% cure rate using purple grapes (i.e. the Brandt Grape Cure). Her treatment was ignored by the medical community long before chemotherapy was introduced. It is now known that purple grapes have at least 12 molecules that can safely kill cancer cells.
Many people have been cured of cancer by drinking a quart of carrot juice every day and having a healthier diet. And so on.
However, those cancer patients who have had chemotherapy and/or radiation will likely need some of the newer protocols that are more potent than the older protocols.
Alternative cancer treatments have actually cured many, many cancer patients, including many advanced cancer patients!! But even those who do not survive can have a higher quality of life, their life can be extended significantly, they can be in less pain, and so on. Every year alternative cancer treatments get better and better.
