Cancer cure known for 35 years?

Of course, there have been other substances going back even farther that have been claimed to cure cancer, such as Dr. Wilhelm Reich’s orgone energy. However, Dr. Burzynski’s treatment has been scrutinized scientifically for decades and, from the video below, seems to be quite effective. I’ve known about – and been skeptical of – his work since the early 1990s, but it actually goes back to the ’70s. Thus, according to Burzynski’s proponents, an apparent cure for many forms of cancer – peptides called “antineoplastons” – has been known for some 35 years but allegedly has been battled against and suppressed by governmental agencies and medical authorities since that time.

The Wikipedia article about Dr. Burzynski’s work asserts, “The clinical efficacy of these treatments has been established in Phase II clinical trials, and is now in Phase III trials.” (Based on a press release from Burzynski’s research institute.)

The documentary linked below, “Burzynski, the Movie,” is available for free until June 20th, after which time it will be for sale, with the proceeds used to help get FDA approval of his treatment. The film – which, oddly enough, was directed by a friend of mine, Eric Merola – is well worth watching, even or especially by skeptics. Naturally, Dr. Burzynski has many doubters and critics. (See the articles below.) If the story is accurately depicted, however, it would seem that, had Dr. Burzynski been taken more seriously decades ago, there’s a chance my beloved mother might be alive today, instead of succumbing to ovarian cancer and radiation/chemotherapy.
