Pharmaceutical companies have often been derided by conspiracy theorists who coined the term "Big Pharma". The theory goes that pharmaceutical bosses get together and operate for sinister purposes rather than operating for the public good. For example, some theories believe that pharmaceutical corporations suppress natural alternative remedies so they can sell their drugs while other theories believe that drugs against HIV/Aids are ineffective on purpose. One of the more outlandish theories is that the cure for cancer has been discovered but companies have repressed it, so they get more patients and hence, higher sales. First of all, cancer isn't just one disease, it is "a group of diseases characterized by the uncontrollable proliferation of cell". Most people know that there are different types of cancer, such as breast cancer, lung cancer, blood cancer and skin cancer among others, and each have a different method of treatment. This is why even if a cure is discovered, it will only eliminate a specific type of cancer. Also, can you imagine how much pharmaceutical companieswould earn if they came up with a drug to cure any type of cancer?"
