Seems like the FDA/BigPharma/and Obamamurder have it all figured out for us so much so they went on live television and tried to convince the U.S. children were and illness that can be treated with preventive medication -->(BigPharma) and improve Women's Healthcare and it would benefit us all. (increase insurance profit on your premium for the corporation)
Medicalization is also known as disease mongering.
"medical ethics"?
A person who derives immense pleasure from murdering other human beings. "I'd steer clear of that philosophy professor. He is, after all, a medical ethicist;" urban dictionary
Incredibly your article suggests that this man is selfish because he didn't let big Pharma and the FDA steal his discovery, so as a punishment they have mired him in legal woes for 30 years.
Is there any wonder the cost of his medicine is so high? LOOK IN THE MIRROR

You are a paranoid loon. Vaccines were one of the greatest things to happen for humanity. The small pox virus that killed millions throughout history has been eradicated thanks to the small pox vaccine. No longer are children crippled and killed by polio (in the western world where the polio vaccine is commonly used). The quack in this article has no real data or proof to back up his claims.

The REAL QUACKS are the AMA controlled and drug company owned doctors who do nothing but push pharmaceutical drugs and don't even get any education about nutrition and the body, YOUR DOCTOR! Between vaccines and pharmaceutical toxic potions this nation is sicker than starving nations. Our insane medical ESTABLISHMENT who owns Congress and the Senate FORCED American citizens into a Cancer War and the people are unwares that they are the battleground for weapons of mass destruction. Mustard gas (chemo), radiation and biological warfare (vaccines). The PEOPLE need to WAKE UP! Dr. Burzynski is loved by his patients because he is NOT a QUACK like the AMA drug pushing doctors.

You're doing the right thing by doing the research. Some comments...
Most "legitimate" mainstream doctors are offended of you question them. I know of plenty of cases where patients questioned their doctor's decision to put them on particular medication that they didn't need, only to be met with juvenile angry behavior (for example, a friend of mine asked her doctor why he was putting her on Lipitor when she had cholesterol levels that were too low and always have been; his answer was that it was a "preemptive measure" which is utter quakery. When questioned he stormed out of the room. Nevermind the horrible side effects especially among women). A degree doesn't assure you of anything, and you have to learn to think for yourself. Americans are far too naive and trusting as far as the establishment is concerned. They've been conditioned to assume a set of fallacies by an establishment that is far more crafty than any totalitarian regime in the world by duping its citizens into thinking they're free by giving them bread and TV. Peoples who have lived under various manipulative regime have learned to approach establishments with a grain of salt instead of childish blind faith. I encourage Americans to avoid being cynical but to be wary of "established" institution
Truth is we don't know how the reporter provoked this response, we weren't there (we can imagine that if Burzynski is legitimate that after 20+ years of being harassed you might expect him to become irritable). It's also possible that the reporter was being extremely rude himself (again, we weren't there, and it is common practice among smarmy journalists to provoke people who might be on edge or who aren't good at containing their emotions). Personally I find this entire article is written in a very smarmy fashion. Casual insinuations peppered all over the place. Little jabs here and there meant to undermine his credibility without actual solid arguments that are open to the possibility of him being legitimate. It's slander wrapped in greasy language trying to pass itself off in an objective tone. Note that the reporter doesn't offer use a nice quotation of how he actually asked his questions. He merely summarized their content. For all we know, the reporter could have been manipulating Burzynskis emotions to make it appear as if he was full of insecurity, to present him as a little man intent on proving himself in big ol' America, coming from Poland (which, let's be honest, is a place the average American has complete ignorance about, or worse, a completely condescending view of).
I am not claiming Burzynski is legitimate or not. I am merely asking the readers to stop falling prey like fish in a barrel to the manipulations of the media. This article is worded to give you a false and unjustified impression whether Burzynski is legitimate or not. Laughing at a man who could be wrong doesn't make him wrong nor does it prove him wrong. You're merely being presumptuous and daft. Actually doing the research to decide whether he's someone you want to trust is another matter.
And by the way, many doctors in the US prescribe garbage you don't need because BigPharma pays for all-inclusive "medical conferences" in warm Caribbean countries and offers free medical supplies (you know all those gadget, containers, and even pens you see at your doctor's office with drugs named printed on them? Yeah...). Doctor's aren't as good as people like to think. They've been bamboozled into thinking they're more essential than they are, and duped into believing in their competence. Trust me. A diploma does not make you competent. And to answer the question of why someone might not receive more attention within the medical community, well, that's just demonstrates a naive idea of society, people, etc. The scientific community is highly sensitive to what others in the community think of them. Reputation is highly guarded. If the NCI publishes a report making Burzynski appear like a quack, then by far most academics and researchers will stay clear away from his work out of fear for their academic reputations. I have worked in academia. It's a petty place often times where the number of articles you publish and awards you receive is more important than the actual value of your work. It's all too common and very sad. It doesn't matter if Burzynski is right or wrong. As long as a prestigious group such as the NCI or FDA publish a notice, fear of being ostracized from the mutual admiration society is enough to restrict further research to a very few willing to sabotage their popularity or less concerned about saving face. Most people haven't even heard of Burzynski and most academics will trust a paper condemning him without really digging into the truth of such claims. It's a sadly naive assumption to believe that if something is true it would have been known by now or that what everyone believes is any indication of the truth of something. It's mindless and displays a deeps ignorance of how societies and people function.
I agree, watch the movie.

He never stated he was a philanthropist. That's your baggage. And it's funny you apply free standards to him and not to others such as BigPharma. Obviously, you have no idea how much drugs trials cost. If he didn't charge what he does (and actually part of his therapy is covered by insurance, if you must know; look it up.), then he wouldn't be able to fund further research, now would he? Obviously you and a number of others here like to use there forums to troll and vent your own frustrations, because there is no rational reason for you to react that way you to on so little knowledge. It is not the case, as the article seems to imply, that he has developed a single therapy that he has sit on for 30 years. His first discoveries were conducted in that time frame, but he has been expanding and improving his therapies since then enormously. He currently sequences his patients' genomes to better match his therapies to the particular patient. It's obnoxious when someone as ignorant as you climbs up on a soapbox pretending to know what they're talking about. You should feel a sting of shame for having made a fool of yourself.
Sharing knowledge. My God. It's all be published, you dimwit. Why don't you attack BigPharma for blocking generic drugs and releasing their patents? Oh because apparently, you like the warm fuzzy belief that the status quo isn't polluted with corruption. You're sad.
-
02/06/2012 9:47:00 PM
"Notice how there is no real discussion of the actual research."
That is because he hasn't published any in over 30 years, something which is in itself highly unusual and, some would say, suspicious.
That single fact renders the entirety of your rant invalid.
-
02/06/2012 9:42:00 PM
No you haven't. And besides, if you're going on two deaths, than you have to be kidding me. With a 25% success rate, what do you think happens with the remaining 75%? Oh, wait: THEY DIE. So if you aren't lying, then I encourage to pull your head of your emotional behind and acknowledge that your friends, if they're real, don't disprove the stated efficacy of the drug. *sigh*
-
02/06/2012 9:40:00 PM
You're a parrot who will repeat anything spoon fed to him. The article has little merit. You see what you are told to see or what you want to see. The article falls back on sly and sleazy tactics to present the man in a light that is unfavorable. How? Notice how there is no real discussion of the actual research. It doesn't matter whether you believe him or not. What matter is that it is written in poor taste by making a large number of shallow insinuations. For example, if a number of Hollywood actor's photos indeed hang in his lobby, so what? Has he claimed to have cured them? The article makes the insinuation that he has. What affect does that have? It makes him appear like Sarah Goldbarb from Requiem for a Dream: delusional, an emotional crybaby with a petty and shallow desire to become a "star". Couple that with the stages quotes that are no doubt out of context and you get an article that makes him appear like a petty little man. And you, the profoundest of morons, unquestionably buys into the article hook, like, and sinker. No, it is you who is little. It is you that is pathetic. The press prints it, you believe them without question, and then fancy yourself as being in the know. But do you personally really know? No. You don't.
Whenever a newspaper resorts to cheap potshots, far-fetched associations, and petty, below-the-belt smear campaigns, it really makes you wonder whether what the motive behind the article is. If Burzynski is indeed more of a businessman than a doctor, then why not do a thorough point-by-point analysis of, say, the movie? Oh, but that wouldn't make a good article. The rabble love a good round of ridicule. Rabble-rousing always sells more than actual journalism of which there is very little today.
-
02/06/2012 9:25:00 PM
Your comment stuns me. Setting the veracity of his claims aside, if he has in fact more than doubled the survival rate to 25% for these cancers, that is an enormous success. Less than a tenth to a quarter of cases. It's also poor taste to substitute real argumentation with an enumeration of alleged titles.
And by the way, it's ticker-tape parade.

Our medical establishment is light years behind the rest of the world in terms of cancer cures rates. In other countries, primitive as it may seem, cure cancer and other diseases. Yet in other countries the populaton is too healthy to get cancer. When Western lifestyle and eating are introduced to other nations, the statistics for disease and death and destruction soar off the charts. What do they know that we should know, given all of our "experts"? The cancer establishment is making billions off of us in terms of monies given to research. Big Pharm, ditto. Medical establishment, ditto. Not saying that small miracles never occur in the establishment. If people really understood the suppression of information in the name of making money for the establishment, you might want to create a medical revolution. The Chinese can cure cancer; the south Americans can cure cancer; other countries as mentioned in another post cure cancer. What's wrong with the USA? I had to resort to curing my own cancer because of the quackery in the medical profession: more concerned about making money than curing people. All they want to do is "manage" disease until the person dies.
-
11/29/2011 4:47:00 PM
You are obviously not one of the 25%. He has more than doubled a survival rate for a fatal cancer. I too am an RN. We are talking about gliomas here. What are the survival rates for other forms of cancer? Remember Dr. Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis? The MD who told doctors to wash their hands between patients with chlorinated lime solutions. He was ridiculed. Doctors were insulted at the suggestion that they must wash between patients. You know as well as I do how the old guard medical establishment becomes insulted at the mere idea that there is a better way to do things. Especially when there's so much moola riding on it.

11/25/2011 5:43:00 PM
So Burzynski charging large amounts of money to participate in "trials" of an unproven drug that have been going on for some 30 years isn't money-grubbing at all?
A true philanthropist would have published results, shared knowledge, saved millions of lives instead of only accepting those who can pony up for his clinic.
-
11/25/2011 5:23:00 PM
"Other physicians have agreed to the benefits of the drug."
Name one, independent (of Burzynski) cancer specialist that has done so, please.
" Even the FDA stated they had no problem with the drug itself and it's worth as a cancer fighting medication."
No they haven't. In 2009 they lambasted Burzynski for not carrying out thed trials properly. No peer-reviewed studies, no reproducible results...
Perhaps you'd prefer an independant view from a UK-based medics and scientists? There's a whole list of sites here http://wp.me/p1Jhgc-113 plus information on attempted bullying to remove criticism of this dubious practice.
-
Sam 11/21/2011 4:21:00 PM
I agree the numbers aren't what you expect when you hear that they cure cancer. But I think more than a 150% better survival rate without deliberately harming your body is a pretty big step in the right direction. Don't you?
-

Hell, they nearly burnt up half the population of the heartland with radiation from nuclear testing in the fourties and fifties. No.....its for sure they would never lie to us or ever do us any harm. Wake up folks.....the constitution might as well be toilet paper to wipe your ass on to those in power.
-
Pnwmermaid 11/12/2011 10:38:00 AM
At the beginning of the film, patients with brain tumor treated with traditional chemotherapy have a 9% survival rate. Patients treated with Burzynskis' have a 25% survival rate. I'm an RN and former biology major. I don't find those really knock-em-dead statistics.
From the tone of the film, one might get the impression patients were recovering at fantastic levels. They simply aren't. Perhaps this is a promising potential treatment, but hold off on the ticket-tape parade until the results get much, much better.
-
11/07/2011 11:00:00 PM
Ellen, totally disagree and I have a bridge to sell you. The FDA agreed to a trial and the results were inconclusive. You mustn't believe in the scientific method so arguing with you is useless. This guy is a fraud and should be in jail.

There are many cures for cancer already not only Burzynskis tuned urine therapy, which it is.
In Europe you have great cancer clinics in Spain, Germany, Austria, Denmark and even in Serbia.
Knowledge about it gets suppressed, its a lot of money to be made. Making people sick then healing them again in a way that they get sick again and so forth. Psychos on top of it don't give a dam about a life.
Well, eventually knowledge about it will spread and break peoples illusions about this disease. You can cure MOST cancers very easily in early stages. Some even in late stages and then some are really complicated even for the best practitioners and you need some luck to get healed.
Anyways need luck to even find a good cancer treatment, most is just lies.
-
Knights 10/26/2011 12:07:00 PM
It's obvious that you did not follow his case and charges. Patients testified that they were given months to live and also in the end they used his patent. So what does that say about his product? Look how much funds have been raised for cancer yearly and still no safe and effective treatment? Sophia
-
Cocoatel 10/25/2011 10:26:00 PM

The FDA didn't challenge the drugs efficacy or safety because there isn't enough data. And as the article notes, in 30 years Burzynski has failed to produce any more data. The sad part is that the provision of the Food and Drug act which Burzynski uses to charge upwards of $200,000 for an experimental treatment is used every year by thousands of university and other small-time researchers to perform studies that otherwise wouldn't be performed. This doctor's cynical money grab from desperate patients makes me sad. Please visit your nearest university and meet some real underfunded researchers practicing non-snake oil medicine.

I found the cure for AIDS years ago. It's made out of the corn husk found in human feces. Give me $100,000 and I'll give you the treatment. Oh, the FDA said I had no proof, but they are just out to get me. Big Pharma and the Republicans/Democrats are trying to stop me because they want money from treatment. I came to this country with $14.22 in my pocket, and a penny stuck on my shoe with gum. If treatment doesn't work, it's because you didn't follow it exactly. Only $100,000 a month, small bills or direct bank transfer to my account in Switzerland.
-
Deliaj 10/17/2011 4:16:00 PM
Thanks for your good wishes, Eric. I agree that the FDA is capable of greedy actions and capable of trying to steal another's work. I don't really trust the big drug companies; their bottom line is always money. And I know that mavericks with the truth are often dismissed, discounted, cheated, and shoved into a corner.
I've dealt with the Social Security Administration, the VA, the military, and lots of doctors and clinics. I have fought off a rare type of leukemia twice now, and this leukemia is on the list of diseases that are automatically associated with (and service-connected for) VietNam vets due to Agent Orange exposure. There are only about 600 cases a year in the US, and only about 5% of those are women. I'm a 24-year retired military vet. I have no service connection for the leukemia because I never set foot in VietNam. I did spend 18 months in Okinawa (also a jungle island), but the government says they never used AO there (guess they just dealt with the jungle conditions there during WWII by using a mower, huh?).
After I finished treatment for the leukemia the first time, I had increased neuro symptoms, and the brain tumor was found by MRI. I think it had been there a long time, slow-growing. I reported to my hematologist, who refused to notify the FDA that he had a patient who took this drug (leustatin) who was found to have a brain tumor. Said there was no proof there was a connection. Fine. I went into remission for several years, and the brain tumor stayed stable. Got leukemia again, got treated by the same drug, a few months after, MRI shows brain tumor growth. Nobody thinks there's a connection. But me. My doctors won't report to the FDA. I'm not blaming the company that makes the chemo drug; but I think they should know about me. How else do they discover such things as this? Did the drug have an effect on my brain tumor growth? It crosses the blood/brain barrier; how could it not?
Anyway, don't mean to dump all my personal problems on here; but I'm fully aware of how big systems work. And I know I'm going to die, just like everyone else is, too. Life on this earth is temporary for us all, including those who have never had a medical problem. I've just got a lot left to do, so I'm anxious to hang around a lot longer.
But if the leukemia comes back, I'm left with the call to either let it kill me (I waited the second time until my counts were very low), or treat it and watch the brain tumor grow. Sometimes I think the irony will kill me before anything else gets a chance! But, as I said, I've got a lot to do, so I just keep on keeping on as if I'm going to live forever.
Dr. B's treatment may be a big, accepted breakthrough someday. Maybe insurance will cover it someday. In the meantime, it's a moot point for me because I can't afford his trreatment.
-
Ellen Yarbrough 10/17/2011 3:53:00 PM
Since this is a Texas paper I'm not surprised that it has such a condescending tone. Other physicians have agreed to the benefits of the drug. Even the FDA stated they had no problem with the drug itself and it's worth as a cancer fighting medication. The FDA is trying to keep the makers of Chemotherapy drugs and radiation therapies from having to compete with a drug that might actually do something besides make you sicker. It's all about the FDA protecting their overlords. And comments stating Burzynski is a fraud are probably being made by the FDA posing as someone else. Yes, they did stuff like that when they couldn't win any cases against Burzynski.
-
Eric 10/17/2011 3:17:00 PM
Deliaj. I too wish you well. I saw the same documentary. It is one sided in favor of Burzynski in the same way this reporter's account is one sided against Burzynski. I would suggest you watch the whole thing - it isn't that long. One thing that I think is telling is that another doctor (Samid) worked with a big phrama company (Elan) and filed patents that attempted to steal all of Burzynski's work. That doctor seemed to get preferred treatment from the FDA.
Saying that a doctor's research must be wrong because other doctors would be supporting it if it were correct has already been shown to be flawed thinking. Remember the doctor who showed that most ulcers could be cured with anitbiotics? Nobody wanted to believe him either.
-
Deliaj 10/17/2011 1:46:00 PM
Colleen, all sides have to be looked at. ALL SIDES. Don't you think if I had proof it works, I'd be taking it? I'm the one living with the killer in my temporal lobe.
I know that the Mayo Clinic was doing a clinical trial of Dr. B's treatment. It didn't get finished because Dr. B pulled his medicine and refused to continue, not because the Mayo Clinic decided it didn't work.
There's always blame to go around. Read my whole first comment. There are greedy, selfish people and agencies everywhere. I can't afford to blindly trust anyone, and that includes the established medical community AND Dr. B.
If Dr. B has cured you of a brain tumor, let me know. Then maybe I'll be able to raise enough money to let him take a crack at mine before it's the death of me.
-
Colleen Grimm 10/17/2011 3:16:00 AM
If he did say those things, my bet is he was provoked. I'm sure Burzinsky is not a saint and maybe not good at handling the pressure of a press interview, but this article is biased against Burzinsky. I don't trust it. It doesn't mention that the US government came along and tried to patent his work as their own, basically steal it. In doing so they admitted it works.

Dead people can't talk. We need real statistics and then an only then can I endorse this treatment as it stands now I have proof it did not work. I visit the proof in the cemetery. It made the patients sicker. It made the patients retain fluids, develop sores and seizures. . Stop the lies.

I first heard of this ass when a dear friend took his treatment but died poorer than no treatment or conventional treatment. Today a dear friend fell into this charlatan's clutches and spent his hard earned money on a treatment. He discontinued after severe edema and seizures.
He is a crook and should burn in hell for selling hope to the hopeless.
I have a bridge to sell you and shhhhhh the government doesn't want you to know about this bridge so just send a check. Oh and believe me it's a great bridge and no you cannot have an expert engineer check out the bridge. Oh if it falls after purchase, you didn't take care of the bridge.

I believe the FDA and big pharmaceutical companies and for-profit hospitals are capable of trying to suppress cancer cure discoveries because of greed. I believe individual doctors are capable of being greedy beyond belief, as well.
I ask myself why a person spends years doing research on a cure for cancer. Money? Fame? To save lives? I ask myself which one Dr. B falls into, because I don't know the answer to the question.
I have an inoperable brain tumor. I think this makes my opinion count for a hell of a lot. I am a disabled military vet. My sources of (payment) for medical care include Medicare and the VA. Not for one moment do I think either of these sources will pay Dr. B to treat me. I don't even know how his treatment plan works. None of the people who told their success stories talked about it. I did find one website put up by a woman who said he was a scammer. She supposedly took her husband, diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, to see Dr. B. She said he charges $6,000.00 up front; she said that in one year, they racked up over $20 grand in bills, and that after one meeting, she never saw Dr. B. The only office she could get through to was the billing office.
I read one account of a mother who took her 5-year-old daughter to him. She also said it was expensive. The child is now dead; but the mother said she thought the treatment does work, but that it's nearly impossible to maintain the regimen; that it takes hours every day.
I'd like to know what the regimen is. Is it hours of IV meds daily? For how long? The rest of your life? A lifelong treatment? How do we do that?
Is Dr. B rich? I don't know. I do know that I was very put off by the way he talked to the reporter, saying this:
""I have the right to do whatever research I want, okay?" he says, followed closely by, "I spent 42 years practicing medicine, doing research, and you are little man for asking such question, okay? Maybe in three years I get Nobel Prize, and you'll look like a shit, okay, asking me such stupid questions, okay?"
The Press explains that the reasoning behind the questions is this: Is Burzynski convinced that he's done everything possible to get antineoplastons federally approved, and thus covered by insurance, thus giving a chance to those dying children whose parents can't afford the steep payments? But when pressed as to why — even after the prolonged litigation with the FDA — he still hasn't been able to prove his treatment's efficacy, he is equally offended.
"You know why?" he says. "Because I came to this country with $15 in my pocket, okay? Because I didn't speak English when I came to this country. I learned it by myself. And in order for me to do what I am doing now, I needed to establish a pharmaceutical company. I needed to establish the research institute, okay, from the scratch, okay? And I need to do all of this from my own money, which I am, okay? How many years it would take for you to do it if you come to the country [from] like, say, Afghanistan?"
The Press also asks why, if one of the biggest barriers to sharing a promising cancer treatment with the rest of the world is his language skills, he hasn't enlisted the help of English-speaking scientists.
Burzynski laughs that one off. "Listen your little brain to this thing: I came to this country with $15, okay? How can you enlist somebody, paying him $5 [out of] $15, okay?"
I don't think any doctor should be offended at questions. That's always a red flag for me. He calls the reporter a "little man" for asking a legitimate question, and tells him he's going to look like shit later? Is this a man I can trust with my life?
I don't know. I'm trying to research everything, because I don't want this thing in my head to kill me. But I'm not about the jump off the deep end and blindly follow anyone, and that includes the established medical community (I've been to the Mayo Clinic) AND Dr. B.

The problem is not Dr. B.
The problem is most people get to Dr. B AFTER they had chemo/radiation/surgery where the body is already compromised to heal well & faster.
If Dr. B., along with a 100% health diet and supplements would be the first option, I believe more cures would be available.
I just read about a patient of Dr. B. who was cured of the brain cancer but died of radiation necrosis. Maybe if he had gone to Dr. B. first...
And it always amazes me that when putting one down, there is never a comparison.
I want to see a chart, SIDE BY SIDE, of all costs, time-frames, survival rates, quality of life during and after treatment, years of survival FOR BOTH treatments - conventional (chemo/radiation) and alternatives (diet, vitamins, supplements, neoplastons etc).
Give all of us the chart... or you all are afraid that the real true will come out?

Warhawk 08/31/2011 12:11:00 PM
I think that all the failed attempts by the FDA to discredit Burzynski by finding him guilty of technicalities that have no bearing on the significance of his treatment, are purely bureaucratic in nature. Dr. Burzynski has developed a way of curing cancer - and that is the goal of any doctor - to treat and cure disease. The argument that he is seeking fortune by tricking people - funny that is should be an issue in a country where medicines with dubious effectiveness are advertised to people on national TV, in order to rack up sales for big pharma.

How about horse urine? That's what women have been using for hormone replacement therapy in the form of Premarin for many years. The utter ignorance on this board is astounding.

Dr. Notaquack 08/15/2011 9:14:00 PM
His or her post is right on the money. There was an Act passed by congress stating that the FDA collected a fee from the pharmaceutical companies to have a drug allowed.

His medicine is still in FDA trails but if you get cancer in the future maybe Burzynski will save your life..
-
08/11/2011 2:50:00 AM
Actually, his drugs are in second stage FDA trails and about and are on the way to final stage. So if your current doctor and pharmaceutical company fails you, maybe Burzynski can save you later.
-
08/11/2011 2:48:00 AM
Your very right, I had to get out of the pharma research because it's very revenue focused.

What are you talking about Burzynski won all his cases and he has a systematic cure for many cancers. I've worked for a pharma firm and it is cut throat...if it doesn't make money its not worth research to them...It's the pharmaceutic industry not the pharmaceutical charity.

Lorenmmartin 08/02/2011 8:25:00 PM
whats funny about this is that his medicine is FDA approved and really does cure cancer...suck it bitch

Uh, ever hear of the female hormone called Premarin? Well, guess what it's made from, equine (horse) urine. Oh, and if you are bleeding to death what do they put into your body? OMG! Human blood! According to your standards both of these medications would be considered barbaric.
-
DaleMAN 06/26/2011 11:29:00 AM
You are such a simple man... for your sake I hope you never get cancer. Traditional cancer treatments are poisons for your body. Like hitting an opened wound with a large bat, hoping the bleeding would somehow stop. Imagine the industry behind all that. Imagine what those people would do to protect that industry. It's much easier to bleed dry a cancer pacient of all his life savings than allowing a treatment that actually works to put you out of business.
Unfortunately medicine is an industry and most people are too narrow minded (to say the least) to see the big picture.
Keep up your research doctor, I am tired of seeing my friends and family die of this terrible disease, AFTER paying through their noses for treatments that only kill them faster.
-
Nick 06/23/2011 2:52:00 AM
The profile picture of Burzynski is definitely biased making him look disreputable. But after reading the article I feel it's fairly accurate. Did he inspire Kevin Trudeau or Trudeau inspire him?

while modern medicine ignores proper nutrition as the root cause and hence the long term solution to chronic illnesses i have zero trust in the profession. my trust is in my own research and my own ability to reason, not some organisation with heavy vested interests and indoctrinations. i have seen chemo patients in hospital eating jam sandwiches (white bread too) ... WTF??? here is some carcinogenic chemicals and refined sugar to make you better!!! FUCK OFF DOCTOR ILL CURE MYSELF. Good luck with Anderson brother.

you people are so so brain washed its about time you thought outside the box and for yourself not from opinions of money hungry corrupt so called human beings, can you not see even a doctor that worked for the NCI for 6 years confirmed all these desperate measures taken to bring down dr.burzynski who is saving lives everyday, this makes me sick living in a so called democracy.......what a joke

Gordon 06/18/2011 10:57:00 AM
Gordon here -Well I think I believe what Steve says because we're not talking about an isolated case here. This twisting and corruption has been taking place all over the world. What;s happening in Libya , Egypt, Yemen etc etc etc. People are sick of the corruption of politicians, FDA, Monsanto etc etc who ever we talk about , but who can say anything about it, you don't see it on the front pages or any pages of the newspapers on TV because the same people own the TV's, newspapares etc
It's all part of the end of the 'way things have been'. I don't know if we can get rid of money like 'Zeitgeist.com' is suggesting, but we have tro change for God's sake.
We need a bloodless revolution and change all this stuff.
I'm doing my best to help....I hope

Not sure about the entire post, but the user fees that pharma pay the FDA is in fact true and is not secret. Big pharma now provides half of the FDA's budget in user fees. While it's not a bad idea in principal to "tax" pharma to pay for the services of the FDA you can certainly see the potential for a conflict of interest.
-
06/14/2011 1:53:00 PM
I have always thought that Burzynski was a fraud as no other credible doctors have endorsed his so-called cancer fighting serum made with human urine. They can make no sense of his essays published in obscure journals with NO medical credibility. I would never go to him for treatment of cancer. My trust is with MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.

Copied from your report : "By Craig Malisow Wednesday, Dec 31 2008
If you were writing the story of Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski, he'd probably want you to start with him leaving Poland for America with $15 and a dream. He'd want it to end with him curing cancer.
Gramatical errors: Him in both cas"es should be "HIS. The possessive should be used before an "ing" word. Sincerely, Dorothy Davis

Steve200255 06/13/2011 8:41:00 PM
I guess his antineoplastons are so worthless the National Cancer Insitute didn't try to steal his patents. Wait...yes they did.
I suppose that somehow not getting one red penny from the government for research or from anyone else has absolutely nothing to do with his inability to conduct regular phaseII clincal trials. What is it? $25 million a pop? And that is likely to be thrown out on a technicality? I wonder why he doesn't do these clinical trials?
I think the author here has trouble reading inbetween the lines. In the words of US Congressmen on video said, 'the FDA has nothing but a personal vendetta against Dr. Burzynski...'. With that amount of professional stink against you - what sane researcher or doctor is going to back him? It would literally be professional suicide. Who is going to give him a favorable peer-review if his research was good? NOBODY, duh. Or maybe some have backed him, and now are no longer in the field - if you know what I mean. We are talking about a knock down total dragged out war by the F.D.A! This guy has to live and work in a professional bubble because everyone outside of the bubble is trying to do him in (except for his patients who hold him like a hero). So of course he doesn't do things normally, he can't because he's cut off. This is as close to being "blacklisted" as you can get. The very agency he has to get approval from is the same that desperately tried to lock him away in prison for 290 years. Amazingly, the author completely ignores this, and the fact that the witnesses in his story may have been FDA planted.
-
Steve200255 06/13/2011 7:36:00 PM
Wow, "commonly accepted models" we should get those cured patients back in there and re-introduce cancer cells into their bodies. We got to start this all over, he didn't do the models correctly. Oh...and they mortgaged their homes to pay for it? I doubt that, but I'd GLADLY ANYDAY GIVE UP ALL MY EARTHLY POSESSIONS for the chance continuing life if I was one of these patients. Author note: when these patients die they not only lose their house but they lose a bit more. Have you ever lost your child? Your article is so wrong I don't even know where to begin. I'm just going to stop wasting my time and not read houstonpress.com.

Steve200255 06/13/2011 7:23:00 PM
"has no residency training in internal medicine or oncology and is therefore completely unqualified..."
I'm sure all those people he is saving are really angry he didn't go back to school instead of saving them...yep seems unqualified to me. I'd rather get nuked and then snuffed out of life within 5 years from a "qualified" physician then get stuck with this guy and getting saved without any treatment side effects anyday. Oh wait...no I wouldn't.
-
06/13/2011 4:29:00 PM
The fact that Burzynski, who has no residency training in internal medicine or oncology and is therefore completely unqualified, is allowed to treat cancer patients with _any_ drug, bogus or not, illustrates the dismal failure of state and federal regulation of the practice of medicine. Being a quack is no barrier to practicing medicine in Texas.

Ddhilljl 06/13/2011 4:04:00 PM
oh might i add that the pharmaceutical companies pay have the fda fees the rest comes from the u.s. treasrcy and taxpayers fund the fda . i did not put this in my first post. meaning everytime the pharmaceutical company wants to try a new drug. the pay a nice little fee to the fda to get it used . and people you know how many drugs have cause very bad side effects even death. we need things to be more safe. if you have children don't you want everything the take right down to their food safe?even the denture cream has caused death and p.n. in alot that used it to hold their dentures frim. and how many pets have died from the bad things put into the pet food who says it is okay to use those items in the pet food the fda that is who so. that is why they do not want to say no to the use of unsafe drugs that is their biggest payee's to their pocket books. but we as wanting safe food water air to breathe we have to demand they really do their job and their home work for the people.just look up the effects of gmo foods and look up what is really in our pets food not just our food.the meds our doctors give us look up all the side effects that is why doctors do not give out so manby meds these days. we need to think and we need to demand that fda does their job and if they don't why do we need to have a fda so they can get rich off our lives and pets lives? i think not. they need to do their job or they need to do away with having a fda. its called greed by the fda!

Ewford67 06/13/2011 3:39:00 PM
So why did the goverment try to patent infringe and ultimately later steal his patents by filing 13 plus patents via us patent office while trying to tie him up in paperwork and grand juries? Go SKEW you. get your facts correct. And by the way, if YOU had a innoperable brain tumor, or a child, you would move heaven and earth to see that person healthy again.
-
Ddhilljl 06/13/2011 3:27:00 PM
if dr. burzynski has proof of his treatment then why are the ones w/ fda keeping his treatment from helping... big money from all the dangerous treatment that brings more money. i think it is a shame that how our food ,drugs or medicine which ever you want to call the dangerous side effects to death,water we drink and cook with, and the very air we breathe all bad. and what does the fda do about it nothing right down to the food we feed our pets nothing does the fda do but add more junk to everything in our lives.if they think they are smart well i think not... only adding money to their pockets.until it hits home with one of their own love ones. or them self.they do not care about anyone their job should be removed as we do not need them as they are not keeping anyone safe at all. they don't need to be where they are period!!!!they need to not have a fda since they do not do their job at all.if it was a child or love one would they want to stop the cancer or lose them to dangerous cemo or have a pet eating the junk that is put into pet food and love the petbut it dies due to the food and all the junk in our water.... how could anyone have respect for those who let this happen. no respect for human life let alone pets. what a waste to even have a fda really. start working to make our lives safer and the pets. we demand safe healthy food no bpa along with all the junk and stop the gmo foods we demand you work for the people we demand it or you fda need to lose your job !!! PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!

Mar1917gil 06/12/2011 9:12:00 PM
I just watched the dvd about Burzynski and how they spent 60 mil of our money trying to defeat him in court. They claim the government stole his patent. I would say it is probably true. It is a long dvd and I admit I don't understand some of it. Main objective is to get this to dying kids. Who can afford it at the price it costs now at the clinic Dr. B runs? The people in the dvd seem real and truthful. I saw mris showing brain tumors and then after treatment they shrunk to scar tissue. I heard the people themselves telling their stories. Maybe Dr. B does want things his way, I don't know, but to try to put him in jail???
Is this the USA??? God help us all.

Mark White 04/02/2011 2:23:00 PM
We just came from Mass General Hospital and met with Oncology. The doctor said she was the leader in targeting mutations of cancer cells with a new drug recently approved by the FDA. Interestingly it sounds like Burzynski's treatment. Has anyone heard of Tarcivia for EGFR type mutations or Crizotinib for ALK type mutations? The latter is still in clinical study. These use enzymes which I believe are amino acids? We're just getting started so excuse my ignorance..
Large corps stealing the work and profiting from the work of the little guy? This wouldn't happen... Oh - didn't they refer to Burzynski as a small man in the article. I wonder if big pharma gets to review and edit these articles before they get posted. I believe they sponsor (pay to advertise) through the media.
-
Mark White 04/02/2011 2:13:00 PM

Hi I am really sorry to hear about your brother but as a doctor in training, I can say that it probably wasnt Burzynski that took your brother's life, he had Stage IV metastic melanoma, which has about a 10% chance of survival. I wish people will realize that we doctors are not God, we are mere mortals who spend ridiculous amount of years (and money) trying to understand the human body (which is no easy thing) no treatment will ever be the perfect cure. There is no guarantee that your brother would have lived past his 1yr and 8mths survival period, with or without Burzynski's treatment.
-
Newyorkresident2011 02/07/2011 1:56:00 AM
He just DID get the FDA approval and a movie is coming out with the people that tried to STOP him - because NOT curing cancer was a profitable BUSINESS for a few greedy.

BBmelton88 01/16/2011 3:48:00 AM
My sister has had recent positive results as a patient of Dr. Burzynski. She can only gain at this point. She practices positive thought and an extremely healthy diet. We are hopefull and Dr. Burzynski's treatment has given her some hope, not promises. Hope is golden for her and for me most definetly at this time. I admire anyone who is brave enough to think outside of the box and to go for anything that may further thier life and the quality of it. Do the research and decide for yourself. The other options haven't proven as a cure for cancer and she is in the latter stages so why not focus on any possibility for hope and success. I am so so proud and envious of my sister's bravery. Push up!!!
