The conspiracy to keep secret the existence of such anomalies would be huge,...

This is where most conspiracy theories fail. They would require the cooperation of large numbers of people and organizations, often some of those people and organizations having no incentive to keep up the charade.

This stupidity ranks up there with the whacko belief that "big pharma" is keeping 'cures' secret because 'it's more profitable to treat than cure.'

Yeah, there would be huge profit in curing -say- cancer.

Tangential to this, however, are orphan drugs. It's not profitable to make the drugs because so few people have condition X, so those people suffer even though there is a treatment.
