Are they making us sick for profit?

So I have had this conversation with several people and am starting to really wonder. Is it just me or do we seem to be straying from cures and moving toward consistent pattern of medicating for life in the medical industry. I just don't seem to hear many, I was healed stories from people anymore. I hear about someones medical problem and then I hear about the long list of drugs they are taking to keep their problem at bay. Of course the medication that is being taken always includes a long list of side effects, and then the person ends up taking more medication to deal with those as well and on and on...

When I am trying to decide whether I believe that a so called conspiracy theory may have merit. I follow the mighty dollar bill. I ask, is it profitable? Would it be profitable for the medical industry to stop curing people and keep them sick only to feed them prescription medications for life. I would say yes. Of course that isn't enough to make me jump on the bandwagon but I think I will pry a little more. Here are a few videos I found on YouTube. What do you think?
