About Burzynski: PART I

The first in the series, "Burzynski, the Movie," is an internationally award-winning documentary originally released in 2010 (with an Extended Edition released in 2011) that tells the true 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 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 has been given permission by the FDA to begin the final phase of FDA testing–randomized controlled clinical trials. .

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.

About Burzynski: PART II

In the compelling follow-up to the first internationally award-winning documentary, “Burzynski: Cancer is Serious Business, Part II” explores the current status of Antineoplastons' clinical testing sanctioned by the United States Food & Drug Administration—and features a modern story of the struggling journeys of cancer patients being treated today at the Burzynski Clinic in Houston, Texas.

For most patients undergoing Burzynski's treatment, their advanced cancer itself runs secondary to the constant barrage of skepticism coming not only from their local oncologists, but also from friends and family who feel their loved ones are making suspect treatment decisions—even though mainstream oncology has already left many for dead.

As the story unfolds, it reveals a real-time change of hearts and minds from many of these doctors and families and with candid interviews with board-certified oncologists, surgeons and neurosurgeons.

The Siegel’s Respond to the Houston Press 8/28/15

This is a response written by Steve and Mary Jo Siegel regarding The Houston Press’ article:

THE 10 MOST EMBARRASSING HOUSTONIANS.”

Mr. Rouner,

You are embarrassed by Dr. Burzynski? Interesting. Good for us that we do not embarrass quite so easily as you.

My wife was diagnosed with an incurable form of Non-Hogkins Lymphoma. After having a surgery that required the removal of almost 1 meter of her small intestine, we consulted the top cancer specialists in the U.S. at prestigious (and presumably non-embarrasing to you) research centers, including UCLA, USC, Stanford Medical, and Harvard (Dana Farber Cancer Institute). All this in an effort to determine what course of treatment we should pursue to save her life. All said that with chemotherapy and radiation she could survive for a while, but eventually her disease would mutate, spread, and she would die.

Now here is the embarrassing part for us. One top researcher wanted to enroll her in a clinical trial in order to perform an “autologous bone marrow transplant.” She would receive massive chemotherapy, and in his words “as much radiation as people that were within 1 mile of ground 0 at Hiroshima.” All this in an attempt to kill every single cancer cell in her body, and hope that she would not die of radiation poisoning or from the “massive” doses of chemo. None of this treatment, costing at that time, in excess of $250,000.00, was covered by insurance. That was 25 years ago in 1990.

My wife and I decided to find another way. Perhaps a less toxic approach which was not quite so “embarrassing” to the medical establishment. She never had one drop of chemo, nor 1 rad of radiation therapy (now there’s an oxymoron).

Right there in your beloved Houston (ours too), We discovered the work of the man you call an embarrassment, Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski. My wife started on his Antineoplaston treatment the first day we consulted with him. Within months her tumors began to disappear. She was eventually pronounced to be in remission. Not by Dr. Burzynski, but by her oncologist, an esteemed lymphoma researcher at UCLA. Today my wife remains cancer free. We have 3 grandchildren, none of whom would have known their wonderful grandmother, were it not for the discovery, work, and courage of the man you find so embarrassing.

If you care to do your research, and not continue to embarrass yourself, you will find that Dr. Burzynski has published several peer-reviewed articles on his work with the most aggressive and deadly brain cancers. His results are light years ahead, and better, than any conventional treatment now in use. I am certainly happy to furnish these for your review, but what you may discover, is that you have embarrassed yourself.

You can make amends by first apologizing to Dr. B for your ignorant assertions and cowardly attack. Dr. B. is a forgiving man. But more important is that you apologize to his patients past and present. Those who, after having been cast off by the medical establishment, found their way to Dr. Burzynski, and now are living, breathing proof that this gentle, non toxic, gene-targeted treatment is indeed a real and effective approach for treating some of the most intractable cancers. What is particularly heinous is that you may have scared off cancer patients who would have otherwise sought treatment with Dr. B, but now are relegated to receiving chemo and radiation, mostly ineffective, inhumane, and damaging treatments discovered more than a half century ago and still in use today.

They say mimicry is the sincerest form of flattery. Just look to MD Anderson and you will see they are now offering “Personalized Cancer Treatment”. This is the same concept as the gene-targeted therapeutic approach which started at the Burzynski Clinic more than 30 years ago. Dr. Burzynski has improved and refined this vital treatment year after year. Now comparing conventional cancer treatment to the Burzynski method is like comparing a rotary dial phone to an I-phone 10. Must be embarrassing that you didn’t know all of this was going on just down the road from you.

My wife and all of the Dr. B’s patients await your apology. Maybe your name should go on your list? That would be a good start.

Kelsey Hill – Adrenal, Lung, & Liver Cancer Cured Using Antineoplastons – with Medical Records

At six months old, on September 1, 2005 Kelsey was diagnosed with cancer of the adrenal gland with at least six additional tumors that had spread into her lungs. By February 2006 her cancer had continued to spread into her liver.

The tumor in her adrenal gland was successfully removed with surgery, resulting in the loss of her left adrenal gland and left kidney. Her family was informed by the oncologists at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center that the only treatment available to address Kelsey’s cancer that had metastasized was chemotherapy.

The chemotherapy offered to treat Kelsey Hill was a combination of Mitotane (a chemotherapy that has no peer-reviewed histological studies to demonstrate it’s effectiveness or safety in children [Mayo clinic]), Doxorubicin (side effects include: leukemia, heart failure, infertility, vomiting, and mouth sores [ACS] —this chemotherapy has been poetically nick-named by doctors as “Red Death” [How Doctors Think]), Etoposide (side effects include: leukemia, nerve damage, inability to fight infections, and vomiting [ACS]), and Cisplatin (side effects include: kidney damage, hearing damage, nerve damage, infertility, and vomiting [ACS]).

While researching the chemotherapeutic agents M.D. Anderson was offering Kelsey, they noticed that the most recent FDA-approved chemotherapy they offered was Doxorubicin—which was approved in December of 1987. Etoposide was approved in 1983, and Cisplatin was approved in 1978. The oldest drug they wanted to give Kelsey was Mitotane, a derivative of the insecticide “DDT”, approved in July of 1970. (You can view a list of other off-patent oncology drugs here).

Steven Hill: “I realized, this isn’t the cutting edge of technology, they are giving us the same old stuff.”

Sarah Hill: “They told us admittedly—this is the most toxic regimen that we have. We have a six-month old with one kidney, and the side effects were kidney failure, leukemia—other kinds of cancers. I thought, even if she is going to pass away, I can’t do this to her.”
