[1] – Cancer Research UK claims:
“Some people promote antineoplaston therapy as a cancer treatment“
“But available scientific evidence does not support claims that antineoplaston therapy is effective in treating or preventing cancer“
” Although Dr Burzynski’s own clinic have reported positive results for these trials, no other researchers have been able to show that this type of treatment helps to treat cancer“
====================================
Interestingly, the above “claim” does NOT provide any specific citation(s), reference(s), or link(s) to support this claim

Chabner, M.D., Director, Division of Cancer Treatment, which stated, in part:
“I thought you would be interested in this for several reasons:”
“3. Antineoplastons deserve a closer look”
“It turns out that the agents are well defined, pure chemical entities“

These facts indicate to me that Cancer Research UK’s claim about “antineoplastons”, is “debatable”
Maybe they should have learned how to use the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
