Not a question as such - more a heads up for anyone interested.

Dr. Burzynski is based in the US, and offers a somewhat controversial "treatment" for cancer patients.This has resulted in several quite high profile fundraising drives to raise cash for kids to attend the clinic for treatment, but many criticize him for "selling hope".

Personally, I am astounded that this man is allowed to practice, but you make up your own minds :)

Sqad, the Burzynski Clinic treats a wide rage of cancers, even though Panorama honed in on the children (presumably because children are more likely to have money raised for them).

He does use conventional drugs, but in an entirely unconventional way, as the first breast cancer case above shows - a highly unusual cocktail of drugs, none of the immunotherapy drugs used have a licence for breast cancer.

I agree with you about hope - it should be a part of all treatments, but not if it is false.

The FDA have come in for a lot of criticism for letting him continue so long with the trials.
When (and if) he publishes, it's very likely he will not be able to continue using antineoplastons, so it is in his interest to spin it out as long as possible.

Putting aside all science and just going on my gut instinct after seeing him being interviewed, would I be happy to be treated by him, or have any of my relatives treated at his clinic, even for free?
Nope.
