    DR BURZYNSKI, M.D.

    "What made Dr Burzynski a threat to the cancer industry from the beginning was the prospect that
    antineoplaston therapy represented a successful alternative to toxic and dangerous chemotherapy
    drugs, upon which most of the cancer industry’s profits depend. Did the NCI pick up the tab for
    completing his research? Did the ACS help with favourable publicity? Of course not. The minute NCI
    saw evidence of antineoplastons working they distorted the data by withdrawing the 2 successful
    patients and thus the evidence. NCI’s conduct towards him is a striking example of how an agency
    presumed to be objective can set up a study that will either prove or disprove anything it wants. In
    this case, there is clear evidence that NCI wanted to prove antineoplastons didn’t work."—John
    Diamond, M.D. & Lee Cowden, M.D.

    "Without exception, all the oncologists I talked to about Dr Burzynski were scornful and hostile.
    Twenty- five years of practicing unconventional medicine did not prepare me for what I discovered.
    Delving into attitudes, actions, and beliefs of modern oncologists was like opening a box of cereal
    and finding it full of worms. They just don’t care….The question I kept asking was why, and the
    answer to that question gradually began to creep out: Dr Burzynski’s discovery threatens one of
    the largest and most lucrative industries in the history of mankind, the cancer treatment industry.

    All those radiation machines and doctors who run them

    All those chemotherapy drugs and the doctors who prescribe them

    All those so called studies that just juggle the doses of chemo & radiation, and

    All those surgeons who have been flailing at cancer for over a 100 years

    If it (antineoplastons) is allowed to flourish, it renders obsolete the entire cancer treatment
    industry. He has discovered a non-toxic treatment that is about as close to cure as we have ever
    seen. If you think the lumber jacks in the Pacific Northwest were scornful of the spotted owl, you
    haven’t seen anything yet….

    Also it is not just about money, it is about strongly held beliefs, beliefs that have meshed with
    the personality of virtually everyone in the cancer treatment industry, especially the physicians.
    In short, these beliefs are that cancer can only be treated with therapies that mutilate, poison, or
    burn the patient, in the hope that they "kill" the cancer…..Therefore, each patient who is
    miraculously cured by Burzynski’s nontoxic therapy is not viewed as a breakthrough, or even as
    something good, but rather as a dangerous messenger of heresy, a terrible threat to their
    beliefs."—Dr Whitaker, M.D.

    "Typical of Burzynski's extraordinary results were the outcomes for early groups of advanced cancer
    patients treated with antineoplastons: 60 percent enjoyed objective remission, 47 percent
    experienced complete remission, and 20 percent survived for over five years without cancer. These
    and other results are far superior to anything reported then or now for standard cancer treatments.
    (For example, in 1985 interleukin-2 was heavily promoted by orthodoxy, supposedly as a highly
    promising new treatment after a single study showed it to have been associated with a complete
    remission from cancer in only one patient out of twenty-four treated -- a positive response rate of
    only fourpercent!)."--Barry Chowka members.aol.comcancer94.html

    Ralph Moss on Burzynski saga ralphmoss.comburz.html

    Testimony of Raphaele Moreau-Horwin & Michael Horwin

    Choices in Healing by Michael Lerner commonwealhealth.orgchoicescontents.html

    Happy Brain Cancer Statistics

    Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski took the FDA to court for slander. The FDA was telling oncologists that he
    and his cancer medicine were frauds, but Dr. Burzynski won the case and the FDA was issued a
    cease and desist order.

    To prove his case, Dr. Burzynski asked a respected oncologist specializing in brain cancer, Dr.
    Robert Burdick, to review his patient records and act as an expert witness. The full text of the
    statement is reproduced on the Burzynski Research Institute's site:

    cancermed.comcancermed.com

    If the text of the statement was not true, Dr. Burzynski would loose his medical license and clinic.

    In the statement, Dr. Robert Burdick stated that primary brain cancer goes into remission 1 in 500+
    times, regardless of treatment, but that he documented 17 cases of remission in 40 total cases of
    primary brain cancer enrolled in one of Dr. Burzynski's phase I trials. He stated with authority
    that the antineoplaston medicine must be responsible.

    Ds. Burzynski beat the primary brain cancer odds by more than 21250% Let the skeptics argue
    with that!

    The FDA hauled Dr. Burzyski before 4 grand juries, none of which found him guilty of anything. When
    they announced a fifth grand jury trial, angry voices were raised in congress and the FDA quickly
    dropped its charges.

    The FDA tried its best to jail Dr. Burzynski without any proof of wrong doing, and if they
    had succeeded the medicine that he and his large staff of doctors are testing would have
    been effectively suppressed. As it is, justice prevailed and 72 phase II trials are
    currently in progress.

    The amazing results of his medicin are not limited to primary brain cancer. They include all the
    major cancers, and are far better for the major cancers. The medicine is non-toxic.

    Too bad the oncologists and skeptics here will get mad at me for pointing this out. Too bad that,
    like the FDA, they don't want you to know about it.

    This is a new low, even for you, expecting me to respond to something from John's (whaleto) site.
    This is advocacy, not evidence, but you have never been able to tell the difference, have you?. This
    is why you post so much that is repetetive and worthless.

    But I'll do it.

    Do a Medline search and you will find that B has published a pitiful amount of clinical research for
    a supposed pillar of the scientific community, and someone getting supposedly spectacular results
    with cancer. The stuff on his supporters' site has never been published anywhere.

    The reason B can appear to have good results with brain tumours is that almost without exception his
    patients have also been treated with surgery, radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy, often shortly before
    he gets to treat them, many brain tumours are of low grade, and it is also not always easy to be
    sure without a craniotomy and biopsy whether shadows on scans are cancer or not. He has not been
    able to show good results with other cancers, which is part of the reason for doubt..

    Well, they do mention five-year survival, I will give you that. If such results came from my old
    surgical professor, who I know would have been diligent in establishing all these patients actually
    had active and not otherwise treated cancer to begin with, I would believe it.

    Coming from your sources, and via several indirect extremely biased routes I reserve judgement as to
    whether this is even an accurate account of a real study. Even if they came from Burzinski directly
    I would reserve judgement until I had been able to scrutinise all the data. Did you know that the
    NCI tried to do a controlled trial of his method once, but it was abandoned because of a dispute
    over protocol? You won't find that in any of your sources. I would have thought if his treatment was
    as effective as he claims he would have been more eager to cooperate.

    This "persecuted hero" garbage won't wash with anyone who knows how the system works. Oncologists
    would be appplying the same standards of evidence to any mainsteam doctor who claimed to have a new
    treatment of cancer, and likewise reserving judgement when the evidence is insufficient to justify
    any diversion of their own resources. As mentioned here on many occasions the climate has never been
    better for any cancer cure to stake its claim.

    BTW, if you weren't aware, you can buy shares in Dr. B's Research Institute, Inc. The symbol is
    BZYR.OB. The last trade on Friday ws for 6 cents a share, but it has gone to at least thrice that
    at some point in the llast 52 weeks.

    According to the 10QSB filed with the SEC, Dr. B has been doing all the funding for his research
    institute out of his private funds & income from his separate private medical practice for the
    last 20 years. The loss reported to the SEC for the most recent 6 months operation for the company
    was $2.2 million. When the FDA required in 1997 that his/the company's clinical trial patients had
    to be first treated by more raditional means, the company reported to the SEC that Dr. B expanded
    his private practice to include chemotherapy, immunotherapy & hormonal therapy (not exactly
    "alternative medicine", but, hey, somebody's got to do it) Anyway, for people that like that kind
    of reading, the financials et al are available.

    It would be interesting to read that alongside his personal financial papers. He admitted in a radio
    program to have made over a million dollars the previous year.

    I confess that some of his testimonials are fairly convincing, but any long-standing alternative
    cancer cure acquires those, even when other evidence suggests that that any "cure" rate of persons
    under that cure is miniscule. Some alt treatment might sometimes work. It is just frustrating to see
    grandiose claims based upon such fragile data.

    I wonder whether where his company's stock price is hovering says a lot about the numbers coming

    be inching up in some sort of anticipation...one can only "hide their light under a bushelbasket"

    When are they going to assemble the data on those 71 (or 72) FDA Phase II trials for presentation,
    or are they open-ended? Nothing was mentioned in their latest 10Q Summary about them at all,
    though they may have been covered in the whole report.

    He is compelled to do the trials, under the conditions under which he is allowed to practice, but I
    guess he is not compelled to publish anything.

    So Peter, you're saying that Dr. B's FDA trials can go on & on to infinity? If so, I would presume
    his research company would continue to leak money, which comes from his private medical practice,
    unless he shuts it down? I imagine his medical patents have little value if he can't sell or
    license them in the marketplace because of lack of FDA approval. Wonder if he's in over his head.

    I think he is working the system beautifully. Most of research his name has been attached to in
    recent times has been in vitro or animal research. Since a model can usually be found in these
    fields where almost any chemical can appear to have useful anti-cancer activity, this may be seen by
    him as the most advantageous direction for research.

    They aren't "FDA trials". They are trials conducted under that portion of the FDA's rules which
    allow trials to be conducted. One of those rules, that subjects for research into highly improbably
    cancer treatments must have come close to exhausting all conventional options, improves his access
    to the desperate people that are the target market for scamsters like him.

    can go on & on to infinity? If so, I would presume his research company would continue to leak
    money, which comes from his private medical practice,

    His "private medical practice" is running the "trials". The "subjects" in the "trials" pay big bucks
    to be there. The claims to be doing research are a smokescreen to hide the fact that he has found a
    loophole in the anti-quackery laws. If he said he was doing treatment he would be held to a
    different level of accountability and responsibility than he is while conducting "research". If he
    claimed to be curing anyone by treatment he could be asked to produce the cured people, but instead
    he just announces "promising results" of the "research" and leaves the cure announcements to sock-
    puppets like the "patients group". It's all very cleverly done.

    There is no obligation for a corporation to ever declare a profit, and it can go on accumulating
    losses for ever. There would only be a problem if it were seen to be a vehicle for blatant tax
    avoidance, but I am sure that Burzynski can afford clever accounting advice just as he can afford
    clever lawyers. As a start, I would imagine that the corporation could find a way to legally pay a
    lot of Burzynski's living expenses. He probably draws a substantial salary, and the rest of the
    profit could be contributed to his retirement fund. Oops! Sorry! Nothing left over for the
    shareholders.

    unless he shuts it down? I imagine his medical patents have little value if he can't sell or
    license them in the marketplace because of lack of FDA approval. Wonder if he's in over his head.

    Why would he want to license the technology? Drug companies don't license the results of their
    research, they sell it in products. Talk of licensing would have been a way of attracting funds to
    the float of his company. Remember that if he had to get money from a bank he would have had to pay
    it back with interest. The purchase of shares in the float of a new company is a gift to the owner,
    who never has to pay the money back and never has to pay dividends if the accounting is done right.
    Burzynski found another way to syphon money from people's pockets. I said he had good advisors.

    Must be hard being a Guru; people expect so much of you.

    It's actually quite easy being a guru because, in fact, followers expect very little of you once
    they have come under the thrall, and will excuse your failings anyway. It's becoming a guru in the
    first place that takes time and work.

    He had already charged the patients the thousands of dollars. What he gave them for "free" was what
    they had already paid for. Scumbags like Burzynski are like that.

    So even though the Company's 10Q says "The Company is currently conducting approximately 74 FDA
    approved clinical trials" & later says that Dr. B is paying for them, what's actually happening is
    that Dr. B's private practice is "running the trials" & Dr. B's private practice is billing the
    Company for doing this? Oh my aching head!!

    The "clinical trials" used to be posted on Burzynski's web site as Microsoft Word files. It would be
    an insult to comedians to say that they were jokes.

    Calling Dr Buzynski a scumbag is another example of evil organized
