Wow. This morning I started watching a documentary online that a friend of my mom's sent me a link to, and although I'm only half way through it, I'm already just blown away. It's about a doctor in Texas who is successfully treating many patients with very aggressive cancers that haven't responded to conventional chemotherapy and radiation. His name is Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski, and he's a medical doctor and Ph.D biochemist who has been attacked over and over by the FDA because his treatments do not involve conventional drugs made by pharmaceutical companies. His gene-targeted cancer medicines called Antineoplastons, which he discovered in the 1970s and produces in his own labs, are about 5 times as successful as chemo drugs in clinical trials, and they don't have any adverse side effects. It's crazy and scary that the information about them hasn't been more widely disseminated since the research has been around for decades!
The cool thing is, I'm watching the movie for free today on the
Burzynski Movie website, and you can too for just a few more days--right here on my blog!
Burzynski: Cancer Is Serious Business from BurzynskiMovie on Vimeo.
If you don't have the time to watch the whole movie, at least watch the
clips and trailers and read
articles about the film. Especially for those of us who have had so much cancer in our families, this story is absolutely amazing.
