'Burzynski' is the story of a medical doctor and Ph.D. biochemist named Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski who won the largest and possibly most intriguing legal battle against the Food and Drug Administration in American history.
His victorious battles with the United States government were centered around Dr. Burzynski's belief in and commitment to his gene-targeted cancer medicines he discovered in the 1970's called Antineoplastons, which have recently completed Phase II FDA-supervised clinical trials in 2009 and will begin the final phase of testing in 2010.
When Antineoplastons are approved, it will mark the first time in history a single scientist, not a pharmaceutical company, will hold the exclusive patent and distribution rights on a paradigm-shifting medical breakthrough.
Antineoplastons are responsible for curing some of the most incurable forms of terminal cancer. Various cancer survivors are presented in the documentary that chose his treatment instead of surgery, chemotherapy or radiation - with full disclosure of original medical records to support their diagnosis and recovery.
One form of cancer, diffuse, intrinsic, childhood brainstem Glioma has never before been cured in any experimental clinical trial in the history of medicine. Antineoplastons holds the first cure in history (curing dozens of them).
'Burzynski' takes the audience through the treacherous, yet victorious, 14-year journey both Dr. Burzynski and his patients have had to endure in order to obtain FDA-approved clinical trials of Antineoplastons.
However, what was revealed a few years after Dr. Burzynski won his freedom and gained FDA-authorized clinical trials, helps to paint a more coherent picture regarding the motivation of the U.S. government's relentless prosecution of Stanislaw Burzysnki, M.D., Ph.D.
Now THAT gets attention. I will be watching that for sure. Thanks for the share Mr. Chaz.

About the film
Burzynski is the story of a medical doctor and Ph.D biochemist named Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski who won the largest, and possibly the most convoluted and intriguing legal battle against the Food & Drug Administration in American history.
His victorious battles with the United States government were centered around Dr. Burzynski's belief in and commitment to his gene-targeted cancer medicines he discovered in the 1970's called Antineoplastons, which have currently completed Phase II FDA-supervised clinical trials in 2009 and will begin the final phase of testing in 2010.
When Antineoplastons are approved, it will mark the first time in history a single scientist, not a pharmaceutical company, will hold the exclusive patent and distribution rights on a paradigm-shifting medical break through.
Antineoplastons are responsible for curing some of the most incurable forms of terminal cancer. Various cancer survivors are presented in the film who chose his treatment instead of surgery, chemotherapy or radiation - with full disclosure of medical records to support their diagnosis and recovery.
One form of cancer - diffuse, intrinsic, childhood brainstem glioma has never before been cured in any experimental clinical trial in the history of medicine. Antineoplastons hold the first cures in history - dozens of them.
Burzynski takes the audience through the treacherous, yet victorious, 14-year journey both Dr. Burzynski and his patients have had to endure in order to obtain FDA-approved clinical trials of Antineoplastons.
Dr. Burzynski resides and practices medicine in Houston, Texas. He was able to initially produce and administer his discovery without FDA-approval from 1977-1995 because the state of Texas at this time did not require that Texas physicians be required to adhere to Federal law in this situation. This law has since been changed.
As with anything that changes current-day paradigms, Burzynski's ability to successfully treat incurable cancer with such consistency has baffled the industry. However this fact has prompted numerous investigations by the Texas Medical Board, who relentlessly took Dr. Burzynski as high as the state supreme court in their failed attempt to halt his practices.
Likewise, the Food and Drug Administration engaged in four Federal Grand Juries spanning over a decade attempting to indict Dr. Burzynski, all of which ended in no finding of fault on his behalf. Finally, Dr. Burzynski was indicted in their 5th Grand Jury in 1995, resulting in two federal trials and two sets of jurors finding him not guilty of any wrongdoing. If convicted, Dr. Burzynski would have faced a maximum of 290 years in a federal prison and $18.5 million in fines.
However, what was revealed a few years after Dr. Burzynski won his freedom, helps to paint a more coherent picture regarding the true motivation of the United States government's relentless persecution of Stanislaw Burzynski, M.D., Ph.D. http://www.burzynskimovie.com/
"When Antineoplastons are approved, it will mark the first time in history a single scientist, not a pharmaceutical company, will hold the exclusive patent and distribution rights on a paradigm-shifting medical break through."
I'm not going to hold my breath on that one. As it says, such a thing has never once happened before and I don't think it is likely that it will happen in the foreseeable future the way the game is rigged. In a nutshell, it will take several hundreds of millions of dollars to get all the way through FDA trials and to market. Only the big pharma companies have the table stakes necessary to play at that game. While you can find partners and venture capital firms to get through the relatively inexpensive phase I and II trials, which can be conducted for less than a million dollars total, independent money may be impossible to find for the hundreds and hundreds of millions it takes to get through the large scale further trials.
I'm not saying that it will be impossible, but I again note that it has never been done before and I personally know of two examples of what usually happens, which are the two oleander products currently in FDA trials. Both of the independent biotech companies have no hope whatsoever of taking their products all the way to market and neither do they expect to retain any patent rights or have any distribution rights. Rather, they hope that their phase I and II results will be sufficiently impressive to gain them a buyout by a large pharmaceutical company and perhaps tens of millions in profit for them and their investors.
Once a pharmaceutical company gets control of a cancer drug that is truly effective, do you really thing they will bring it to market in a truly effective form? Cancer has become a $300 to $400 Billion a year industry whose continued survival and profits depend on NOT finding a cure for cancer. In my opinion the odds are very large that any truly effective medicine would either be shelved entirely or adulterated to be less effective so that it would in many instances merely drag out the patient's life a bit and be enormously profitable without being a widespread cure.
Burzynski's antineoplasms may be different than oleander though. For one thing, approval of oleander would tend to validate oleander extract itself, and, while the powers that be could restrict or ban supplement sales based on an approved drug, they could not control people making their own unadulterated extract at home as perhaps thousands already do. Plus, Burzynski's antineoplasms are considerably less than 100% effective and don't work at all for some cancers, such as testicular cancer and leukemia.
At any rate, the movie should be well worth watching to simply see the lenghts that the medical establishment and their agency servants will go to in order to suppress anything which threatens the profits of big medicine.
Unlike most "alternative medicine" practitioners, Stanislaw R. Burzynski has published profusely. The sheer volume of his publications impresses patients, but unless they understand what they are reading, they cannot judge its validity. To a scientist, Burzynski's literature contains clear evidence that his data do not support his claims.
Burzynski's Background and Credentials
Burzynski attended the Medical Academy in Lubin, Poland, where he received an M.D. degree in 1967 and an D.Msc. degree in 1968. He did not undergo specialty training in cancer or complete any other residency program. His bibliography does not mention clinical cancer research, urine, or antineoplastons during this period.
In 1970, Burzynski came to the United States and worked in the department of anesthesiology at Baylor University, Houston, for three years, isolating peptides from rat brains. (Peptides are low-molecular-weight compounds composed of amino acids bonded in a certain way.) He got a license to practice medicine in 1973 and, with others, received a three-year grant to study the effect of urinary peptides on the growth of cancer cells in tissue culture. The grant was not renewed.
In 1976, with no preclinical or clinical cancer research experience, Burzynski announced a theory for the cure of cancer based on his assumption that spontaneous regression occurs because natural anticancer peptides, which he named antineoplastons, "normalize" cancer cells. Since urine contains lots of peptides, he concluded that there he would find antineoplastons. Less than one year later and based only on these assumptions, Burzynski used an extract from human urine ("antineoplaston A") to treat 21 cancer patients at a clinic he opened. His shingle read, "Stanislaw R. Burzynski, M.D., Ph.D."
Burzynski's claim to a Ph.D. is questionable. When I investigated, I found:
An official from the Ministry of Health in Warsaw informed me that when Burzynski was in school, medical schools did not give a Ph.D. [1].
Faculty members from at the Medical Academy at Lubin informed me that Burzynski received his D.Msc. in 1968 after completing a one-year laboratory project and passing an exam [2] and that he had done no independent research while in medical school [3].
In 1973, when Burzinski applied for a federal grant to study "antineoplaston peptides from urine," he identified himself as "Stanislaw Burzynski, M.D, D.Msc." [4]
Analysis of Antineoplaston Biochemistry
Tracing the biochemistry involved in Burzynski's synthesis of antineoplastons shows that the substances are without value for cancer treatment.
By 1985, Burzynski said he was using eight antineoplastons to treat cancer patients. The first five, which were fractions from human urine, he called A-1 through A-5. From A-2 he made A-10, which was insoluble 3-N-phenylacetylamino piperidine 2,6-dione. He said A-10 was the anticancer peptide common to all his urine fractions. He then treated A-10 with alkali, which yielded a soluble product he named AS-2.5. Further treatment of AS-2.5 with alkali yielded a product he called AS-2.1. Burzynski is currently treating patients with what he calls "AS-2.1" and "A-10."
In reality, AS-2.1 is phenylacetic acid (PA), a potentially toxic substance produced during normal metabolism. PA is detoxified in the liver to phenylacetyl glutamine (PAG), which is excreted in the urine. When urine is heated after adding acid, the PAG loses water and becomes 3-N-phenylacetylamino piperidine 2,6-dione (PAPD), which is insoluble. Normally there is no PAPD in human urine.
What Burzynski calls "A-10" is really PAPD treated with alkali to make it soluble. But doing this doesnot create a soluble form of A-10. It simply reinserts water into the molecule and regenerates the PAG (Burzynski's AS-2.5). Further treatment of this with alkali breaks it down into a mixture of PA and PAG. Thus Burzynski's "AS-2.1" is nothing but a mixture of the naturally occurring substances PA and PAG.
Burzyski claims that A-10 acts by fitting into indentations in DNA. But PAG is too big a molecule to do this, and Burzynski himself has reported that PAG is ineffective against cancer [5,6].
PA may not be safe. In 1919, it was shown that PA can be toxic when ingested by normal individuals. It can also reach toxic levels in patients with phenylketonuria (PKU); and in a pregnant woman, it can cause the child in utero to suffer brain damage.
Burzynski has never demonstrated that A-2.1 (PA) or "soluble A-10" (PA and PAG) are effective against cancer or that tumor cells from patients treated with these antineoplastons have been "normalized." Tests of antineoplastons at the National Cancer Institute have never been positive. The drug company Sigma-Tau Pharmaceuticals could not duplicate Burzynski's claims for AS-2.1 and A-10. The Japanese National Cancer Institute has reported that antineoplastons did not work in their studies. No Burzynski coauthors have endorsed his use of antineoplastons in cancer patients.
These facts indicate to me that Burzynski's claims that his "antineoplastons" are effective against cancer are not credible.
Dr. Green (1925-2007) was a biochemist who did cancer research at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center for 23 years. He consulted on scientific methodology and had a special interest in unproven methods. This article was adapted from his presentation at the American Association for Clinical Chemistry Symposium in Atlanta in July 1997.

When the thoroughly discredited and Big Pharma funded and supported Quackwatch site does a hit piece, it is usually a good sign that someone is on to something good which threatens the mainstream drug and treatment establishment. It's kind of like the FDA coming down on alternatives, such as cherries or bitter melon.
I note that the late doctor who authored the 13-year old piece comes from Memorial-Sloan Kettering - perhaps the most infamous anti-alternative cancer hospital out there. MSK is noted for firing Dr. Ralph Moss after he outed them for covering up positive results about laetrile and pressuring the lead researcher to lie about his study results. The head of oncology at MSK once stated that no one had ever been cured of cancer by alternatives to mainstream treatments.
If he's been curing cancer all those years don't you think (even by word of mouth) it would be all over the world? It reminds me of Hulda Clark's cures for cancer. Wacky stuff- alcolol and parasites causes cancer. All too fishy for me.
I understand the gov. FDA and most of the rest of them are crooked jerks, but there are many more people out here with fake IDs who'll sell us anything to make a buck.
I've seen that video of the policeman with twins years ago too. I don't see or read of anything new. I need more proof, besides doctors and people trying to make money.
Because something has not been accepted by mainstream medicine or is not widely known does not make it fishy. There are lots of people and alternative therapies that have been curing cancer with very good success for many years now. You don't hear much about any of them and the reasons should be obvious. Mainstream medicine hardly recognizes anything which it has not patented or otherwise cannot control and it has the mainstream media which depends on hundreds of millions in annual medical advertising firmly under its control.
For a really good look at what lengths mainstream medicine will go to in order to suppress alternative information, I recommend former NY state legislator Dan Haley's excellent book "Politics in Healing: The Suppression and Manipulation of American Medicine."
The smelliest fish in all of this is the link to quack watch which is a well known hack site set up to give the official stamp of disapproval on all alternative treatments ranging from chiropractic to ozone.
Perception is reality and many people fall for this gun for hire site as something "official." It is nothing more than an attempt at gate keeping and bringing people on the fence back into the mainstream trap.

This great Doctor cured (or starved off) my sister of stage 4 non hodgkins lymphoma last year.
I found him on a fluke here on Curezone.
Luckily she lives in Houston close to his office. MD Anderson wanted to chemo and radiate her to death. Anderson is it's own entity and has a full mall of fast food restaurants while you wait to get slaughtered.
She had the good sense to let Dr. B do the job but she is not into good living at all and I'm not sure how long this healing will last.
Here's to Curezone and the wonderful people who share the information here.
It is always good to hear personal accounts. Thanks.
I think what this doctor does is good in that it buys time. Then it is very important to detox and get on an optimal nutritional regime and get the body operating at its peak.
You deleted a you tube which shows how the healer Suzanna Marcus overcame stage 111 naturally. What a pity? I thought this site was to inform others of the good stuff that is out there?
