Well, what about countries with Socialised Medicine? They never found this "miracle cure" so colour me sceptical.

As a rule of thumb, if you hear about a possible "miracle cure" for cancer, odds are it's not going to be implemented because it simply doesn't work.
Not that it's theoretically impossible for any simple and effective cure for cancer ever to work, but there have been a lot of touted "miracle cures" before, all of which have turned out not to be.
Publication pressures on researchers give them a strong professional incentive to oversell the significance of their work.

I hope that's the case, because I've been learning about a mineral that could keep certain kinds of it at bay.

Right and if you folks pay attention a lot of these supposed cures are not really cures. The claims are at best dubious. Some of these magic bullet cure alls remind me of snake oil sales men.

"but I do find it highly plausible that those with vested interests in current methods of cancer treatment would want to drown out a competing better one." This to me is usually a strong warning that some Conspiracy Theorist is caught up in a load of You Fail Economics Forever. If it's already patented it wouldn't work, and if it weren't, the "westen interests" would immediately change their "interest" towards the new cure. And a "miracle cure" is most likely not going to be one, period. "Miracles" have nothing lost in science.
