The worst part of this is that the big pharmaceutical companies would probably buy it and never make it public if found effective.

Neither would happen. Currently many drugs that are not profitable (like vaccines, or something like anti-malaria drug) are subsidized by either our govern. or private foundations (think the Bill Gates foundation). Vaccines aren't profitable and 2 years ago we ran short because there wasn't enough - the few drug companies who make them didn't want to overproduce and be stuck with unsold product. Thus in a bad flu year, there wasn't enough.

The US govern. would save billions upon billions if cancer was wiped out.

(Now if we were talking about a simple fuel additive that would help get cars 200 MPGs, I know that there would be a conspiracy by the oil companies to bury it.)
