Has anyone heard of this doctor?

Us too
We were given his name as well from a family member. I looked at his website and read various opinions. I always look for success stories and statistics when checking our these types of things. Did not find anything to make me feel confident in his treatment, much as I wanted to when I first read about him.

Did you see him on netflex?
Wow. I'm watching his show on netflex right now. My husband asked me to give him a call.

Interesting!!

You can try netflex free for 30 days if you want to see it. You can see it on your computer or TV if you have a Internet ready DVD player it Wii.

I'm on iPad not sure about that link, but go to YouTube and look him up.

I fell asleep watching the
I fell asleep watching the end....I was so tired. Woke up at 5 am, 10 hours later.

But I am interested in this doctor. What he went through to get heard by the FDA. I hope he didn't land in jail!

I will watch the end later.

I have read all about him!
He makes a lot of sense and has actually cured people of brain cancer when they were given no hope. He has treated people with colonrectal cancer, but I do not know his success rates. He has fought long and hard to be able to treat cancer patients and is finally being recognized. Last I heard they are using his treatment in some trials at Memorial Sloan Kettering and somewhere else. Take a look at his website and clinic on the internet.
I'd like to find out more.

The Doctor and Sloan Kettering
"Antineoplastons refer to mixtures of peptides, amino acids, and other organic substances that were first isolated from human urine and blood by Stanislaw Burzynski. He claims to have used antineoplastons to treat a variety of cancers based on the belief that they promote the body's natural defenses against cancer. In 1993, the National Cancer Institute sponsored clinical trials to investigate the antitumor potential of antineoplastons in patients with brain tumors (4). The trials were closed two years later as poor patient accrual precluded conclusions about the efficacy of the treatment. A Mayo clinic study found no benefit (1). Presently, clinical trials using antineoplastons as an investigational drug for various cancers are underway at the Burzynski Research Institute in Houston, Texas (5). Adverse reactions observed include confusion, sleepiness, and exacerbation of underlying seizures, headache, vomiting, and fatigue."

Some of the theory behind this makes some sense to me and if you watch the movie about him, you come away thinking he's really on to something. BUT, if all of this is true, why hasn't there been one single person from the forums who has received his treatments and talked about it? I just find that very hard to believe. I can understand why the drug companies would want to keep it quiet but if our peers tried it and I did indeed work, why are there no success stories here?

Please don't bring up a "Grassy Knoll" theory....
