Watch a paradigm about to shift

We are in a unique time in history. Over the next few years the world is going to gradually realize that our so-called "cures" for cancer are poisonous, dangerous and relatively ineffective.

We are also going to realize that many scientists like Dr Burzynski have long been holding the non-toxic and highly effective cures for cancer (Burzynski even cured a childhood brainstem glioma, the first ever successful cure in history) - yet the established medical institutions have continually sought to block, disgrace and imprison Burzynski, not because his cures are ineffective, but because a cheap, patented and highly-effective competitor must be destroyed at all costs.

Ignaz Semmelweis hypothesized that it would be a good idea to wash one's hands after handling dead bodies, especially when about to work on live human childbirth. He was ridiculed to the point of insanity (he died alone in an insane asylum.)

It is a miracle that Dr Burzynski has not met the same fate. A miracle, and perhaps the single greatest saviour of human lives in the coming centuries.

And you get to watch it from the beginning.

I have not seen the movie yet, but the website reads like a propaganda piece.

[–] StanhopeFan 14 years ago

Yeah - all those facts! All the medical evidence. Damn propaganda.

For starters, the above is not a fact. I know personally the other families, I can give you their names. For starters, this is the site of a little girl who was cured at St. Jude:

No propaganda. Just facts, read into them what you will.

Burzynski's cure rate is overstated. There are other cures. You dishonor the others by not counting them among the cured.

Burzynski's is an interesting story, but statements like yours are propaganda.

I didn't say it wasd the only one. I said it was the first. Burzynski cured this without radiation and chemo in the mid 90s. If you want to accuse someone of propaganda, you have to pay attention to what's being stated. Or see the film.

Great news for the girl though. Since you know the family personally - what happened when they shot the radiation into her ears? Did her hair grow back?

"Interesting" - a great word to use to describe a story of FDA brainwashing. Propaganda constitutes the present state of medicine. Sorry to say it. Wish it weren't so.

I watched the movie in it's entirety yesterday. The movie was well-done and very interesting to watch. I appreciate the clarification of some of the events involving Dr. B and the FDA/NCI.

I am especially happy for the sourced transcript posted on the site, I'm working my way through it.

In your comments above as well as in Jessica Ressel's interview I see the comment about radiation being "shot through the ears". Although many sources are listed for the claims made in the movie are linked, I do not see a source for that comment. May I ask the origin of that statement?

As for Dasia, if you check her site and look at her photos, you can see for yourself that her hearing is fine and her ears aren't deformed. She's not in a vegetative state and her quality of life is good. I'm not in any way trying to play down the devastating effects of radiation to the developing brain of a young child, but the picture painted by the movie is skewed.

As are the survival statistics of the brainstem glioma patients reported in the movie. It seems as if there is so much bad blood between Dr. B and the governmental powers that be that there is no way to learn the real unbiased story, almost everyone that writes on the topic has an axe to grind, pro or con.

And in the end its the patients that lose, all they want/need is for antineoplastons to be evaluated objectively alongside the other available treatments, and that just doesn't seem to be possible. The FDA and the NCI are responsible for this, but so is Dr. B.

Although very interesting, the movie unfortunately failed to live up to my hopes of accuracy.

We watched 2x. The girl stated it was her understanding that she would have to do radiation and she didn't want to for reasons mentioned. She didn't go that route... she was the one that had cancer so severe that she was allowed to go straight to Dr. B's protocol. After a year of back and forth regression she was resolved.
Respectfully,
one can buy the dvd on doc website

Would be cool if it turned out to be true, but no convincing evidence currently

on my way to ignoring the entire population of imdb

This topic's paradigm is soon to shift.

Exactly. Anyone putting their faith in this guy, is deluding himself. There is no evidence that proves that his "cures" work, and even if they do, they way he's gone about it is wrong. No wonder, that pretty every reliable scientific source rejects Burzynski's claims (and that includes "Big Pharma" critics such as Ben Goldacre).

[–] SomnolentSurfer 12 years ago

For those interested in how evidence on this kind of stuff should be presented (and a proper, reasoned, critique of 'big pharma'), Ben Goldacre's Ted talk is a great place to start: http://www.ted.com/talks/ben_goldacre_battling_bad_science.html

Cheap? It costs 600k + to get into one of his tests. If you want to be subjective AT ALL about this you should at least hear the other side. http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/index.php/stanislaw-burzynski-bad-medicine-a-bad-movie/

He started more than 60 clinical trials, but never publishes the results. If it is so effective, why does he never publishes the results?
