Exactly. It should be up to the customer to decide where to shop, and this documentary details clearly what kind of anti-competitive environment we are actually living in. Not liking this particular competitor is quite irrelevant to that.
That’s a nice idea. But, it does not pertain to the video in any way. I’m sure that he has continuously applied for grants over the years. He didn’t wake up yesterday and suddenly decide that he needs $300m. If you knew how the medical profession worked you would understand. As a rule it takes years for anything new to gain acceptance. If you try to circumvent yours peers and go straight to public and politicians for support, you will become very unpopular very fast Mostly, he’s just crying about the government trying to “steal” his idea. Yet, he has no qualms about really stealing everyone’s elses money for himself. He’s trying to have his cake and eat it. Ask yourself this question. If someone patented something that you think is extremely valuable to many people, what would you do: (a) leave him to his little monopoly, (b) try to rip his monopoly from his cold dead hands? Food for thought.
You make that more than obvious.
You probably watched even less of the film than Caley McKibbin.
Burzynski is to the FDA as Schiff is to the IRS! Two patriots standing for the truth while exposing the evil of the state.
Something tells me that If Burznski wasn’t in Texas, he’d probably be sharing a cell with Schiff.
first:most, if not all, modern treatments in anything was an alternate to to something that was mainstream at the time. The best thing about the market is that there are always going to be new ways to do things as time goes on.
second: what determines what treatment work? is it the FDA or the consumers? Nevertheless, this guy should not be shut down by the government because he has a different way to cure his clients. Even if one does not believe in his data and treatment, this should be obvious,at least it should be obvious to every free marketeer..
third: The doctor in the documentary has several clients that did not do the radiation and surgery before they did his treatment, and still had successful results…

A lot more than “several”…and the fact that he based that entire post around this notion of “you don’t really know which treatment was the one that worked” and called results and data from FDA-approved clinical trials “anecdotal evidence” proves he didn’t watch the film.
First: that’s not what I am arguing about. I am interested only in thing that work, and I do not care they are mainstream or not. Take for example leeches. Almost nobody uses them nowdays, but treatment called Leech Therapy (http://www.leeches.biz/hirudotherapy.htm) is still valuable and still works even though it’s no longer mainstream.
Second: I don’t care much about FDA, it’s not the best organization that could have evolved in a free market. It’s just one of the state’s monopolies. However, that doesn’t mean that all trials or approvals by FDA are bogus and that we should ignore them. I am as much against FDA as I am against other state granted monopoly in an ethical/moral sense.
Third: yes, he may have those (trials you talkin about) too. But then again, does it prove that his treatment work? Without replication of his trials and peer reviewing it’s hard to guess. And yes, I didn’t watch the video, that’s why I try to generalize my arguments and do not debate actual evidence. Maybe the guy is right, I don’t know, I don’t have time to research and I don’t care to be honest. What I care for now is principles of doing good science. Good is a very important definition here and not just an arbitrary adjective. In short, you can read more about it here: http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/diapsids/buzz/dinoscience.html (but there is more than that).
Aaand I think you’re done here.
In case anyone gets the wrong idea that I missed anything important, I scrolled through it watching the frames for something other than hicks telling useless stories.
How did you ever miss the well dressed and very well educated urbanites telling their compellingly useful stories about how the Dr.B ‘stole’ their dying (now dead) relatives life savings for a cure that was nothing more than powdered urine?
Ah thanks for clearing that up. I’m sure everyone respects your assessment now.
-
then I do not get your critique because the method used by the doctor in this documentary is proven to work by him and the FDA has done studies on that similar method and came out with reasonable results. The FDA results were positive enough that since 1995, all of Burzynski’s trails are all approved and supervised by the FDA.
-
I never said all trails and approvals by the FDA are bogus… the FDA data is clear in showing that radiation and surgery can only help an individual so much before they start to seriously harm the individual by excessive radiation or surgery.
-
again, i do not understand the critique here because the method used in this documentary has plenty of peer reviewed articles.
The point of this documentary was not to give out sympathy for a method that is still not FDA approved or, more importantly, that does not have scientific proof that it works… the point of this film was to show how great this man struggled in trying to convince people in the medical industry and the government that his data was legit and how the government tried several times to close down his business because he figured out a new way in curing cancer.
They better after my toil to match the respectability of the Byrzinski bandwagon contingent that understands medical research as much as a kid with an Operation boardgame and plastic stethoscope. If not, I’ll try making tons of contentless one-liners.
Update: I did a google search and found that his PhD claim is for biochemistry.
That would be PhD = Piled Higher & Deeper. Years of MED indoctrination to teach the Doktors how to be better drug pushers.
Yes the results are in,The slash and burn is an amazing success,if the aim is to slowly kill people by inflicting suffering and milking the last pennies from the victims loved ones.
DDddDDoctors are not taught about health in medical school - only about disease. Most doctors do not receive even ONE HOUR of training in nutrition during their years of medical school. The pharmaceutical industry is a multi-billion dollar industry. It provides much of the funding for research in medical schools and nearly all of the advertising in medical journals. It’s the old GOLDEN RULE: he who has the gold - rules! So doctors learn ONLY about drugs!
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/health/article5138033.eceChemotherapy and radiation do not make the body well. They destroy, they do not heal. The supposed hope of the doctor is that the cancer will be destroyed without destroying the entire patient. These therapies do kill cancer cells, but they kill a lot of good cells too including the cells of the immune system, the very system that one NEEDS to get well. If a cancer patient survives the treatment with enough immune system left intact, the patient may appear to get well at least temporarily, but he will have sustained major damage to his body and his immune system. How much better it is to nourish the immune system directly by the use of natural therapies to assist it in getting you well instead of destroying it by the use of these therapies. Then the immune system itself can kill the cancer cells without any side effects and heal your body at the same time.The idea is to heal the cancered cells not kill your cells.
As for quackwatch,they have been proven to be illegitimite.

That post is a good proof of not knowing the educational process and not knowing what medicine is. It’s good that you make that clear at the outset.
Oh you mean like this? Yeah that would be preferable to your contentless twelve-liners.
Nice job. Prove you didn’t even watch the first 5 minutes of the film…or the first 1 second of the trailer.
You just never get it and keep coming back for more. Your posts as a rule are poor. You’re a lousy-post recidivist. The same thing over and over, day after day. I’m very critical and I will continue to criticize content. Feel free to at any point say anything about the topic for the first time, if you have something worth saying- any relevant knowledge. I doubt that will ever happen. You’ll just keep posting one-liners day after day. The angry nerds will keep angry nerding. The trolls will keep trolling. Etc. I’ll get bored of paying attention soon enough.
No problem with that, it would just be nice if you actually watched even 5 minutes of a 2 hour film you attempt to criticize.
The irony is almost palpable.
You are right. I am done criticizing actual video, but not the tactics of such people (who made the video). And tactics are no different than other charlatans, zeitgeisters etc..
I watched that documentary too. It’s highly recommended.
