Wouldn’t insurance companies welcome a medical method that cures?

A. No. The insurance business has no incentive to reduce health care costs. The entire health insurance business is based on predictable risk of catastrophic treatment costs. If there is no risk of expense no insurance is needed. The higher the expense, the higher the risk, the more coverage is needed, the more business, the better the profits for the insurer. Would you pay out hundreds of dollars a month for insurance if you could afford the treatment? Most people pay less to a homeopath during the time they need treatment than it costs to have health insurance for that time. It is the fear of catastrophic expense that keeps the health insurance companies in business. Conventional treatment, like surgeries and organ transplants, are expensive.
