I have thought for some time (because I like a good conspiracy) that drugs companies probably do have an interest in NOT curing cancer and Alzheimer's etc because this would clearly dent their end of year figures 
Most would probably agree!??? It must at least be possible!???
I haven't forgotten that some medications and drugs do their job extremely well and the world probably wouldn't cope without them but here are a few ways that the drugs companies trick people into 'needing' their product (or not???)...
MENOPAUSE
Symptoms include hot flushes, night sweats and loss of libido
Criticism too often “medicalised” as part of a “disorder” when it is a normal phase of life
IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME
Symptoms include constipation, cramps and diarrhea
Criticism promoted by drug companies as a serious illness needing therapy, when it is usually a mild problem
SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION
Symptoms impotence in men, lack of libido or difficulty becoming aroused in women
Criticism drugs such as ****** marketed not only for treating genuine erectile dysfunction caused by medical problems but as lifestyle improves
OSTEOPOROSIS
Symptoms thinning of the bones, particularly among postmenopausal women
Criticism portrayed as a ******* in its own right, when it is really a risk factor for broken bones
RESTLESS LEGS
Symptoms urge to move legs because of unpleasant feelings, often at night
Criticism prevalence of a relatively rare condition exaggerated by the media, along with the need for treatment. This is actually caused by under-devloped muscles that naturally weaken with age and lack of excercise (along with clicking knee joints).
