If someone of You haerd about Antineoplaston therapy??And about Burzynski Clinic???

Alternative treatments are exactly that......alternative. Personally, I do not have faith in things like that. Conventional treatments are what I credit to my being here today. Everyone has their own opinions, I wont risk my life cuz of one small clinic that does things differently. To me if they have successful treatments then why arent they readily available?

Yes I have heard of it from well meaning but stupid and gullible friends. The doctor is a total fraud, but very very clever in his misuse of the legal system and FDA arcane systems. Basically his patients DIE. For a nuanced and subtle debunking, Here is Dr Andrew Weil's far too kind expose:
Over the years, Dr. Burzynski claims to have treated more than 8,000 patients, but his success rates are unknown. His Web site states only that he has helped "many" people. If antineoplaston therapy works, we should have scientific studies showing what percentage of patients treated have survived and for how long, as well as evidence showing how Dr. Burzynski's method stacks up against conventional cancer treatment. The only study I know that documents how Dr. Burzynski's patients have fared was done in Canada in 1985. It found that of 36 patients treated, 32 died without showing signs of improvements. One patient died after slight improvement, another died after being stable for a year and, at the time of the study, the other two had widespread cancer.

The cost of antineoplaston therapy at Dr. Burzynski's clinic reportedly ranges from $30,000 to $60,000 per year. After initial treatment there, patients may be able to continue therapy at home with follow up clinic visits every two months.

I have never heard of it, but the American Cancer Society has a web page about it:

I also heard that this therapy is very very expensive,and you don't have warranty that after this therapy You will be fine.Christine You have right:)

Hmm, we could set up a clinic for our own version of this sort of treatment and make some real money for OCF to fund some real research -- We would call ours Hospice, of course...

He is absolutely not a fraud!! Yes, people must pay for hi trials but that is because a trial costa over 40 million dollars which the FDA will not fund. Just as we pay for our care. His statistics are remarkable and yes, his patients die, he never claimed to be able to cure everyone. My neighbor went to him when she was 14 and she is alive today living without cancer when she was given 3 months to live.

But wait, as they say on TV, there is more. Not content with just being a cancer fraud, now this quack is curing old age.
Yes it is remarkable that in the only confirmed study, 32 out out of his 36 patients died. Please read my post above
I was pretty restrained then, and will just repeat that this doctor is a total fraud. Worse, his clinical trials are a sham that he uses to skirt around the FDA protection since his treatment does not work. 30 years of clinical trials and no proof yet. Since I wrote that post, other commentators have said it better and in more detail
[quote]Trials are not designed so that they can ever answer the question of whether the real drug, namely sodium phenylbutyrate, is effective, either alone in combination, against cancer, and, if it is, against which cancers. Rather, they appear custom-designed so that Dr. Burzynski can keep administering antineoplastons (which, remember, are nothing more than the metabolic breakdown products of sodium phenylbutyrate) to patients. It�s also incredibly unethical science in that Dr. Burzynski is requiring patients to pay huge amounts of money out-of-pocket for unvalidated combinations of targeted therapies thrown together with (these days, at least) sodium phenylbutyrate and sold as �personalized gene-targeted cancer therapy.� As for his clinical trials, he has been warned by the FDA about lax Institutional Review Board procedures that fail to protect human subjects, fail to guarantee adequate informed consent, do not adequately monitor studies with ongoing reviews, and fail to report conflicts of interest of IRB members. In other words, not only does Dr. Burzynski do �personalized targeted therapy� badly; he does clinical trials badly as well.
Unfortunately, it�s not even clear to me that Dr. Burzynski�s cured a single cancer. In fact, Skeptical Humanities has been tallying publicly available cases of patients who went to Burzynski and did not survive. It�s a depressing read, and these are stories we don�t see, even from much of the mainstream press. In the process, the harm he is doing is incalculable as he tarnishes the reputation of a perfectly fine experimental anticancer drug (phenylbutyrate) and the very concept of �personalized cancer therapy� with the stench of quackery. Certainly, it doesn�t help that of late he�s branched out into dubious anti-aging remedies, forming a new division of his clinic called AminoCare.

Unfortunately, what we have here is a case of crank magnetism, and the people who pay the price are the desperate patients enticed to spend tens of thousands of dollars for a combination of chemotherapy, thrown-together targeted therapies, and an orphan drug sold as something unique and brilliant.

Just another fraudlent doctor- neoplaston

Last time I looked, the FDA does not fund any trials - that is the responsibility of the inventor/originator.

Also the Dr doesn't have any reliable statistics on treatment success - that is the whole issue!! Representatives of the clinic are well known for threatening the critics with ligitigation though, including blogs and posts such as this.

Let's not tell them about Charm's day job
