Seeking information from cancer patients of Dr. S.R. Burzynski in Houston: did he Help?

Question

My mother is considering treatment with Dr. Burzynski and as her support person I am trying to get her additional information to help her make decisions related to her colon cancer, which has traveled to her lungs, and now bones. As a widow on Medicare, she is trying to make sound health and financial decisions. Is this clinic worth it?

Answer 1

Hi Mischka

Ive never been to his clinic, but I know he doesnt use standard methods (chemo, drugs, ect) and that is good. I know the FDA has fought battles in court with him and he won a 14 year case (another plus). They want to stop people like this because they actually help people get better with uncommon methods that dont generate sales like drugs and chemo.

Ive been eduacating people many years myself and learned everything from my teacher at herbdoc.com. He has healed thousands of patients with herbs, hydrotherapy, education on diet and drinking water. He had a clinic for 20 years in Malibu before the FDA shut him down for healing to many patients.

I would go with your gut feeling and if it feels right go to the clinic, if not keep searching for other answers. The answers are out there, but you must have an open mind and accept the answer that fits for you.

Best of health to you both

Answer 2

The movie is a lie. The process has been tested by the National Cancer Institute and it doesn't work. All those cute people announcing they are cured cannot be found for check ups or testing. I've had chemo. Chemo doesn't kill people. People die because the cancer is stronger than the chemo can deal with. The Burzynski rip off starts at $100 000. You don't get anything for that. The clinic can't treat people legally so they call it "clinical trials."

Answer 3

Most of his reported "successes" are with brain tumors. There are patients that are supporters and distractors.

His claims have very little and poor documentation. Even his (eduacational) resume is sketchy. Check him out on www.quackwatch.org or www.wikipedia.org.

The method of action of his antineoplastons treatment does not seem to rational.

Personally, I feel someone like him with such a personal and professional history should be viewed unfavorably.
