“The Skeptics” are “debatable”

In the aftermath of the Google+ Hangout …

I remember seeing one of “The Skeptics™” continuing to twit at a pro-Burzynski Twitter user, after they were asked to stop

If I find it I’ll post it here

Guy, what’s your point ?

That I’m giving “The Skeptics™” some of their own “medicine” and they don’t like it ?

@SceptiGuy, Is it true that a “Skeptic™” sucker is born every minute ?

Because if you believe Wikipedia’s lies, “Orac” has something for sale
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Suspected_Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_Didymus_Judas_Thomas

I’m waiting for someone to “prove it”

Guy, you have absolutely NO credibility:

2 – Terminated (Withdrawn due to slow enrollment)

7 – Withdrawn (Study withdrawn prior to enrollment)

The above 9 studies were NOT even started, which means that there would NOT be any “results” to publish

Now research the 52

Guy Chapman, you are the epitome of “massive cognitive dissonance”

After all, you thought I was “Astroturfwatch” based on absolutely nothing

Awwwwwww … and if she posts garbage as she has also done in the past, I will call her out on it

Except I never said that, and you can’t prove I said that

Maybe I should misquote you ?

David, this is the first question for Bob:

3/4/2013 – 7:58pm – You posted on Colorado Public Television (CPT12):

“ANP is toxic as anything!”

So you’re saying what ?

ANP is as toxic as water ?

David, do you understand that question, or is it too difficult for you ?

David James, try this:

@StortSkeptic, I’ve tried to make it as easy as possible for “The Skeptics™” to leave comments on my blog without having to authenticate/sign in

Why don’t you grow some “grapefruits” and ask away ?

Why can’t you think the way you twit ?

David, where’s your citation(s), reference(s), and / or link(s) that support your position as to when you think Burzynski was required to publish ?

Trust me

I thoroughly enjoyed the rest while Bob yapped away about things he’s blogged about already, and I’ve already blogged about

Yeah … waiting for those citations, references, and / or links

Actions speak louder than words 🙂

Forbes Learns a Lesson, but Not the Right One: Censorship and Bias re: A Film Producer, A Cancer Doctor, And Their Critics

Peter Lipson, Contributor

posted an article of a very dubious nature on Forbes (#Forbes), which censored (deleted) comments submitted and screen-captured as having been posted to the article comments section

What did Forbes do to rectify this embarrassing blunder?

Well, they did NOT do what Wikipedia is supposed to do (Do the RIGHT THING), they instead changed their comment acceptance function so that it now does NOT post the comments to the comment section; where they can be screen- saved to show that you submitted them, but now prevents the comments from being posted to the comments section before being reviewed by their censor(s)

I was able to submit comments and screen save them to show I submitted them, but the below, for example, was still censored

Mr. Ogon, is this one of the Kurume, Japan case studies you were referring to?

Mr. Ogon, you commented:
“One further has to take into account the fact that Scamley has been known to employ idiosyncratic definitions, such as classifying tumor *growth* as “STABLE DISEASE” for “less than 50% reduction in size but no more than 50% increase in size of the tumor mass, lasting for at least twelve weeks.””
FDA has advised:
5/2007 – “Guidance for Industry – Food and Drug Administration”
“Clinical Trial Endpoints for the Approval of Cancer Drugs and Biologics”
“”STABLE DISEASE should not be a component of ORR”
“STABLE DISEASE can reflect the natural history of disease””
(Pg. 10 of 22 = actual pg. 7 of PDF)
“…STABLE DISEASE can be more accurately assessed by TTP or PFS analysis (see below)”
“Also, STABLE DISEASE can be more accurately assessed by TTP or PFS analysis (see below)”
(Pg. 11 of 22 = actual pg. 8 of PDF)
“Time to Progression and Progression-Free Survival”
“TTP – Time to Progression”
“PFS – Progression-Free Survival”
“TTP and PFS have served as primary endpoints for drug approval”
(Pg. 11 of 22 = actual pg. 8 of PDF)
And in addition, the below 2005 non-Burzynski study also uses “STABLE DISEASE?”
Role of temozolomide after radiotherapy for newly diagnosed diffuse brainstem glioma in children

Mr. Chapman, you commented:
” … the failure to publish any usable results from any single trial is grossly unethical”
“ The FDA’s Drug Review Process: Ensuring Drugs Are Safe and Effective” advises:
“[T]he emphasis in Phase 2 is on EFFECTIVENESS”
“This phase aims to obtain PRELIMINARY DATA on whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition”
“Phase 3 studies begin if EVIDENCE of EFFECTIVENESS is shown in Phase 2″
“These studies gather more information about safety and EFFECTIVENESS, studying different populations and different dosages and using the drug in combination with other drugs”

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended 5/31/2010 states:
1/13/2009 Company announced Company had reached an agreement with FDA for Company to move forward with pivotal Phase III clinical trial of combination Antineoplaston therapy plus radiation therapy in patients with newly diagnosed, diffuse, intrinsic brainstem gliomas (DBSG)
Agreement was made under FDA’s Special Protocol Assessment procedure, meaning design and planned analysis of Phase III study is acceptable to support regulatory submission seeking new drug approval
2/1/2010 Company entered into agreement with Cycle Solutions, Inc., dba ResearchPoint to initiate and manage pivotal Phase III clinical trial of combination Antineoplastons A10 and AS2-1 plus radiation therapy (RT) in patients with newly-diagnosed, diffuse, intrinsic brainstem glioma
ResearchPoint is currently conducting feasibility assessment
ResearchPoint has secured interest and commitment from number of sites selected
Upon completion of assessment, randomized, international phase III study will commence
Study’s objective is to compare overall survival of children with newly-diagnosed DBSG who receive combination Antineoplastons A10 and AS2-1 plus RT versus RT alone

One would hope that Forbes would learn a lesson about censoring individual’s comments, but instead, it seems that they learned a lesson about how to block comments
