The guy in NS Canada cured it. the government raided his home and put him in jail. Years later a well known university in NS tried the same thing and they got results, when news leaked the government shut the study down.
Cancer has been cured or at least the cure is known. Why would the government not want cancer to be cured? It is because they can't resist milking that money cow.
Without some genuine evidence this happened, I'd be highly skeptical. For starters, you can't imprison someone for curing an illness, at least not in any western society. If this were the case, don't you think that person (or his family? friends? colleagues?) would take the story to the press, to anyone and everyone who would listen? And then there's always the American option. A Canadian scientist could easily hop the border to the US, where healthcare isn't socialized, and claim asylum for mistreatment, just like the German scientists did in WWII. He could then sell his cure to the privatized drug industry, who would gladly charge an arm and a leg to anyone getting such a miracle cure.
That's really the fatal flaw in the government conspiracy (/drug company conspiracy) claims. Any bona fide cancer cure would have far more value than all the chemotherapy you can pump into a single patient. You could charge more for the one magic pill that cures cancer than you could for all the drugs you sell the cancer victim combined. On top of that, you would have far less overhead costs since making that one pill would be far cheaper than making dozens of rounds of chemo treatment. And again, if you sold this drug for $1,000,000 per pill, people would pay. If my wife had cancer, I'd pay whatever they were asking if they had a real cure. So why just make a few bucks here and there when by curing cancer you can make thousands fold more?
Now, as far as the doctor conspiracies go, I don't buy those, either. My wife is a nurse, she works with doctors, and we know many of them personally. They really do have the person's best interests in mind, and they're not just trying to force medicine into you that you don't really need. People should trust doctors, and listen to their advice. You've got to remember that to have the title of doctor, you have to go to school for a decade learning about the human body, and then after that you spend almost a half-decade working under another doctor's supervision as you learn in the field. That's a lot of training. Compare that to holistic doctors, many of whom got their so-called degrees from a few days work online at a diploma mill, or the others who just call themselves doctors without even that much effort.
Having said that, I am still a big believer in prayer. I have met and personally know people who were cured of cancer because people were praying for them. It happens. But even these people would tell you that it's still wise to be seen regularly by a real doctor. Doctors can do a lot of good. And even if you try other routes, going to a doctor is a great way to monitor how the other treatments are going.
Sure, if you want to explore other avenues of treatment, go ahead and try them. But in doing so, you should still have a real medical doctor who can monitor your progress and give you real, genuine insight into whether your alternative treatment is doing any good or not. Even though they're very vocal about their opinions on alternative medicines, they won't lie to you about the facts regarding what your body is doing.
Two cents wroth of my thoughts, overpriced as usual.
