“The Amazing Meeting” (I don’t think it means, what you think it says it means): 2 Intellectually and Ethically Challenged Individuals, Twaddle at TAM 2013

Gentlemen, I start your Insolence πŸ˜‡

The “motto” of “The Amazing (Not so Much) Meeting” is “Fighting Fakers,” which is apropos, since I doubt that “Orac” the “Check my Facts” Hack of Dr. David H. Gorski, grasps the irony, that when I read some of his blog articles, you could easily switch his name with the name of some individual he is flogging, and the proverbial shoe fits, and:

He states:

“There is a long segment about “The Skeptics”

“His lawyer wrote a book”

“About a half of it is about Burzynski [4]
β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”
6:00
β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”
Gorski mentions that Burzynski noticed that there were higher levels of these chemicals in healthy people, than people with cancer
——————————————————————
Whereas, Burzynski is on record as having said [5]:

” . . . healthy people have abundance of these chemicals in blood
Cancer patients have varied to none

I did NOT know before now, that GorskGeek thinks that “none” is a “level” 😢
——————————————————————
He continues:

AS2.1 – which is a chemical called phenylacetic acid, which is a byproduct of metabolism that turns into phenylacetylglutamine by the liver

A10 – soluble is basically the same thing
It breaks down to PAG
——————————————————————
WOW !

I thought it was: AS2 1 😊

They are “basically the same thing” ? 😳

What does Burzynski say ? [6]

Phenylacetylglutaminate (PG) and Phenylacetate (PN) are metabolites of Phenylbutyrate (PB) and are constituents of antineoplaston AS2-1

PG and PN are naturally occurring in human body as result of metabolism of phenylalanine in liver and kidneys

formulation of antineoplaston AS2-1 is 4:1 mixture of synthetic PN and PG

A10 is 4:1 mixture of PG and iso-PG

That does NOT look like “basically the same thing” to me πŸ˜›

Gorski founders on:

“And these are substances which were actually studied in the ’50’s and ’60’s and not found to be particularly, um, promising, but, he didn’t know that then”
——————————————————————
GorskGeek has #FAILED miserably to prove that on his blogs [7] πŸ˜„

Gorski comments about Burzynski’s “animal testing,” “species specific” claims:

“There are ways of getting around that”
——————————————————————
But Gorski, again, has #FAILED miserably to prove it [8] πŸ˜…

Gorski then states that out of 61 trials on clinicaltrials . gov, “most” are “closed or unknown”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”
Gorski attempts to go all “legal eagle”:

“Listen to Burzynski’s lawyer!”

“You listen to Burzynski’s lawyer; and, and I swear I don’t understand, like why Burzynski would let him, let his lawyer say stuff this damning in his own book, but he does”

“So, get a load of some of these quotes, referring to one of the clinical trials, he says:”

“It was a joke”

“. . . there could not be any possibility of meaningful data coming out of the so-called clinical trial, it was all an artifice, that, you know, designed so that they could continue giving the treatment

“The FDA wanted all of his patients to be on an IND, so, that’s what we did”
——————————————————————
Gorski, attorney Rick Jaffe is an American, living in America NOT the formerly communist Poland

He can say whatever he wants

GorskGeek is NOT a lawyer πŸ˜“

And there’s an excellent reason why

Nor is he schooled in the proper usage of the English language

FACT:

” . . . the so-called clinical trial . . .”

Any human being with a modicum of intelligence about the English language, understands that the term “clinical trial” is singular, i.e. one

Burzynski’s lawyer is obviously referring to the CAN-1 clinical trial mentioned in Burzynski’s 11/25/1997 Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing [11]

One trial that is retrospective is CAN-1 Clinical Trial
——————————————————————
CAN-1 PHASE II STUDY OF ANTINEOPLASTONS A10 AND AS2-1 IN

PATIENTS WITH REFRACTORY MALIGNANCIES

133 patients
——————————————————————
Clinical trial of patients treated by Dr. Burzynski through 2/23/1996

FDA has indicated it will not accept data generated by this trial since it was not a wholly prospective one
——————————————————————
Gorski continues his trend of #FAILURES when he mentions the additional types of treatments that Burzynski was offering, but he #FAILED to mention [12] πŸ˜‚
——————————————————————
” … in 1997, his medical practice was expanded to include traditional cancer treatment options such as chemotherapy, gene targeted therapy, immunotherapy and hormonal therapy in response to FDA requirements that cancer patients utilize more traditional cancer treatment options in order to be eligible to participate in the Company’s Antineoplaston clinical trials”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”
Gorski addresses the case of Tori Moreno
——————————————————————
Kim Moreno states:

“We originally were at Miller’s Children at Long Beach Memorial and then went to City of Hope

“We also sent her MRI’s to Dr. Fred Epstein in New York to be looked at”

Gorski suggests that 3 different opinions could have misdiagnosed Tori Moreno

You can read an interview with Tori’s mother [13]

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”
Gorski goes on to mention Burzynski patients going to Texas Children’s Hospital with hypernatremia issues
——————————————————————
Gorski, do you mean this ? [14]

The changing pattern of hypernatremia in hospitalized children

Gorski mangles the case of Hannah Bradley, who had a grade 3 anaplastic astrocytoma brain tumor

GorskGeek makes excuses like “spontaneous remission”, but then provides no citation, reference, or link to a case of such a tumor having spontaneously exhibited remission [15]

(20:40)
β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”
Gorski states that antineoplastons are chemotherapy
——————————————————————
No, Gorski, antineoplaston are:

“…an unapproved drug, not ordinary “chemotherapy [16] 😣

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”
Gorski claims in regard to Burzynski’s personalized gene-targeted therapy:

” . . . gives to the patient without regard for synergistic toxicity

“Boom, there you go”
——————————————————————
Gorski’s #FAIL rate continues, as Burzynski has stated that phase 2 and 3 publications are reviewed as part of this process [17]

Gorski, “BOOM, THERE YOU GO” ッ
β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”
Gorski, you should hire out to the Democratic Party as their mascot, because you must be the biggest pompous ASS I’ve ever seen 😜

The #TAM2013 audience then has to suffer through 22:36 of the blatherskite of Robert J. (don’t call me Bobby) “Bob” Blaskiewicz Blatherskitewicz [2]

He blathers about the “dozen,” “17,” “16 dead,” “pancreatic cancer,” “Joseph, who was alive but died well within the life expectancy given his diagnosis,” “Joann, who was alive but died within a year of starting therapy,” “Irene S., who was dead within month,” “Maxine, who was already dead,” the “103 in 2011,” “63 in mid-June,” “17 on original 1999 site,” “about 3 added a year,” the “about 50 stories,” “1/10th of patient names gathered,” “Amelia S. – 7, tumor breaking up,” “Chase,” “Cody – 1994, 20 years ago, 2 visits, 6 weeks treatment breaking up,” “David,” “Janet, 3 – 5 yrs., oncologist, now dead, ovarian cancer,” “Pete took video down,” “8,000 patients,” “probable ischemic necrosis,” “13 yr. old, getting worse getting better, vomited – Marlene, nurse,” “Rory died 2005,” “Supatra, swelling, last wed., brain tumor,” “Side-effect, 2%, sodium load,” “Andrea, U.S. News and World Report, 30% chance recovery, glioblastoma, ANP in luggage, died on plane,” “Cathy wanted to be on ANP, Greg Burzynski, found out only brain tumor,” “Denise D. breast cancer,” and finally:

“Hi, this is Susan

Ah, don’t forget to mention that Wikipedia has been a major battlefield

Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski on Wikipedia:

“Simply don’t pay attention to it, because it, it’s not true”

“You won’t be able to, do any, clinical research which we do, without convincing evidence, especially when you have the most powerful agency in the government which is against you

“So they would love to find something which is wrong with what we are doing”

“Ah, so the fact that they’ve, um, agreed that what we have has value, and they allow us to do phase 3 clinical trials it means that we are right”

“Because, uh, uh, nobody who didn’t have any, concrete evidence that it works, would be able to go as far”

“So whatever Wikipedia says, well, I don’t care for them

“Please add re WP:NPOV that Burzynski’s attorney, Richard Jaffe has disputed Lola Quinlan’s claims:

Dear Didymus Judas Thomas,

Is Wikipedia’s Burzynski BIAS showing?

YOU decide, because in my opinion it IS, since this piece of “Yellow Journalism” is referenced in the Burzynski Clinic Wikipedia article:

2010 film, Burzynski – Cancer is Serious Business

Prior to the debut of “Burzynski”, Houston Press correspondent Craig Malisow mocked the film’s lack of objectivity, characterizing it as “a puff-piece paean that cherrypicks facts and ignores any criticism”, and criticized the project for presenting only Burzynski’s side of the story.” [60]
60^ Malisow, Craig (2010-06-02). “Stanlislaw Burzynski: New Movie Proves He’s A Cancer-Fighting Giant – Houston News – Hair Balls”. Blogs.houstonpress.com. Retrieved 2011-11-25.

Jun 2, 2010 – Houston’s Stanislaw Burzynski, who sells a so-called cancer …

(Hair Balls hasn’t seen the movie, but nowhere in the … )

So, in a nutshell, Wikipedia will reference “Yellow Journalism” by a “Hack” who posts an article about a movie he has NOT even seen, but will NOT reference a news article which is posted on Lola A. Quinlan’s attorney’s web-site, which contains comments from her attorney, as well as Dr. Stanislaw R. Burzynski’s attorney

Wikipedia, your BIAS is showing

Mr. Blaskiewicz makes the comment:

“You are wrong. But you know this.”

Mr. Chapman commented:

“What it does not include is the results from any one of the 61 registered trials on human subjects since 1996.”

Which goes to show that he does NOT know the subject-matter:

61 TOTAL
1 – Not Yet Recruiting (Open)(Phase 3)
1 – Closed
2 – Terminated (Withdrawn due to slow enrollment)
7 – Withdrawn (This study has been withdrawn prior to enrollment)
10 – Recruiting (Open)
11 – Open (1 Not Yet Recruiting / 10 Recruiting)
40 – Active, not recruiting (Closed)

2 – Terminated (Withdrawn due to slow enrollment)
7 – Withdrawn (This study has been withdrawn prior to enrollment)

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

1 – Not Yet Recruiting (Open)(Phase 3)
10 – Recruiting (Open)
11 – Open (1 Not Yet Recruiting / 10 Recruiting)

The above 11 studies had NOT even started, so there would also NOT be any results for them

That’s 20 subtracted from the 61, right there, leaving 41

Mr. Chapman goes on to state:

“Even without the fact that charging for participation in trials is unusual to say the least, the failure to publish any usable results from any single trial is grossly unethical.”

Mr. Chapman does NOT provide any information as to how clinical trials are to be run without charging for them, or any information as to how much the clinical trials cost

Mr. Chapman is just another “voice crying in the wilderness,” who complains, but does NOT provide any solution(s); which is so very “last century”

Mr. Chapman continues:

” … the failure to publish any usable results from any single trial is grossly unethical.”

Mr. Chapman does NOT provide any information from the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), National Cancer Institute (NCI) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Declaration of Helsinki, or any other source, that supports his statement
https://stanislawrajmundburzynski.wordpress.com/2013/04/25/burzynski-what-happens-when-a-clinical-trial-is-over
Burzynski: Declaration of Helsinki:
https://stanislawrajmundburzynski.wordpress.com/2013/04/25/burzynski-declaration-of-helsinki
“Trial results are not always publicly available, even after a clinical trial ends:”
https://stanislawrajmundburzynski.wordpress.com/2013/04/26/burzynski-faq-clinical-trial-results/
Burzynski: What happens when a clinical trial is over?
“National Cancer Institute (NCI) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Cancer Clinical Trials, 15. What happens when a clinical trial is over?,” advises:
β€œThe results of clinical trials are OFTEN published in peer-reviewed scientific journals”
” … WHETHER OR NOT the results are published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal … ”
This makes it clear that clinical trial results β€œare OFTEN” published, but sometimes they are β€œNOT” published β€œin a peer-reviewed scientific journal”
https://stanislawrajmundburzynski.wordpress.com/2013/04/25/burzynski-what-happens-when-a-clinical-trial-is-over
Mr. Chapman does NOT seem to be able to grasp the American concept of “citation(s), reference(s), or link(s) to any independent reliable source

guychapman 5 days ago

Mr. Chapman posits; with his usual verbosity, in his “lame duck” attempt at masking his ignorance on the subject and hoping that, as the court stated:

β€œThe U.S. v. Article’~ court stated that the FDA’s responsibility was to protect the ultimate consumer, which included protection of β€œthe ignorant, the unthinking and the credulous.β€β€˜

… that he will be able to overwhelm:

β€œthe ignorant, the unthinking and the credulous.β€β€˜

with the amount of verbiage he was allowed to ejaculate

Mr. Chapman states:

“I am puzzled by your schizophrenic attitude to the FDA though.”

Mr. Chapman does NOT want to touch this below with the proverbial

“10 Foot Pole:”

Click to access BurzynskiTriesToExposeNCI.pdf

Mr. Chapman, why was the FDA requiring “radiation” in the phase 3 clinical trial?

” … only obstacles now are $300 million $s needed to pay for final phase of clinical testing-and FDA requiring children with inoperable brainstem glioma to also undergo radiation treatment in Phase 3 trials, claiming it would be β€œunethical” not to do so”

Mr. Chapman continues:

“It seems to me that actually the FDA are being very fair to Burzynski. Despite the massive problems with hsi institutional review board, and his abject failure to publish results, they continued to allow him to register new trials.”

Mr. Chapman, again, does NOT provide any support for his statement

Thank you for submitting your comment:

Mr. Morgan, I am not sure how you are obtaining your clinical trial data for Burzynski, since a simple review shows that:
http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?term=antineoplaston&Search=Search
differs from what the National Cancer Institute (NCI) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has when you follow the links on
http://www.clinicaltrials.gov
which is supposedly sourced from the NCI data:
61 TOTAL
1 – Not Yet Recruiting (Open)(Phase 3)
1 – Closed
2 – Terminated (Withdrawn due to slow enrollment)
7 – Withdrawn (This study has been withdrawn prior to enrollment)
10 – Recruiting (Open)
11 – Open (1 Not Yet Recruiting / 10 Recruiting)
40 – Active, not recruiting (Closed)
http://cancer.gov/clinicaltrials/search/results?protocolsearchid=11475951

http://cancer.gov/clinicaltrials/search/results?protocolsearchid
With the data being different between the 2 sources, how are we supposed to know what is correct?

Mr. Ogon, I’m not exactly who you were replying to, but you refer to a “25% cure rate,” and in the below 2 studies, neither one mentions a “25% cure rate” in it:
“You mean PMIDs 12718563 and 16484713? (These, at least, are the ones that Merola cites, which I assume is the sum total of your β€œfact checking.”)”
You then go on to comment:
“(2) it’s essentially the same group in both”
However, the dosages in the 2 studies are different, so I am not certain how you came to the above conclusion

Mr. Ogon, you made various comments re clinical trials, impact factors, etc.
Why should anyone care about your comments when the “National Cancer Institute (NCI) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Cancer Clinical Trials, 15. What happens when a clinical trial is over?,” advises:
“The results of clinical trials are OFTEN published in peer-reviewed scientific journals”
” … WHETHER OR NOT the results are published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal … ”
http://m.cancer.gov/topics/factsheets/clinical-trials
This makes it clear that clinical trial results “are OFTEN” published, but sometimes they are “NOT” published “in a peer-reviewed scientific journal”

“One further has to take into account the fact that Scamley has been known to employ idiosyncratic definitions, such as classifying tumor *growth* as β€œSTABLE DISEASE” for β€œless than 50% reduction in size but no more than 50% increase in size of the tumor mass, lasting for at least twelve weeks.””
Why should anyone care about your comment re “STABLE DISEASE,” when the 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””

Mr. Ogon, you made various comments re clinical trials, impact factors, etc.

Mr. Morgan, your clinical trial data for Burzynski differs from what the National Cancer Institute (NCI) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has when you follow the links on ClinicalTrials . gov, which is supposedly sourced from the NCI:
61 TOTAL
1 – Not Yet Recruiting (Open)(Phase 3)
1 – Closed
2 – Terminated (Withdrawn due to slow enrollment)
7 – Withdrawn (This study has been withdrawn prior to enrollment)
10 – Recruiting (Open)
11 – Open (1 Not Yet Recruiting / 10 Recruiting)
40 – Active, not recruiting (Closed)
With the data being different between the 2 sources, how are we supposed to know what is correct?

Mr. Ogon, I’m not exactly who you were replying to, but you refer to a “25% cure rate,” and in the below 2 studies, neither one mentions a “25% cure rate” in it:
“You mean PMIDs” re Drugs R D. 2003;4(2):91-101 “and ” Integr Cancer Ther. 2006 Mar;5(1):40-7? “(These, at least, are the ones that Merola cites, which I assume is the sum total of your β€œfact checking.”)”
You then go on to comment:
“(2) it’s essentially the same group in both”
However, the dosages in the 2 studies are different, so I am not certain how you came to the above conclusion

FW, you commented re Burzynski’s Phase 3 clinical trial:
“Unfortunately it backfired, because he seems quite happy to never start this trial, instead using it as a marketing tool, in the same way as he is happy to use individual patients”
Burzynski’s 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

Once you have done that, please advise how your ” … the failure to publish any usable results from any single trial is grossly unethical,” comment is relevant.
What is the relevance of publishing results of phase 2 clinical trials if it is only β€œ PRELIMINARY DATA,” and NOT waiting until phase 3 study which would β€œgather more information about safety and EFFECTIVENESS”?

Mr. Morgan, your clinical trial data for Burzynski differs from what the National Cancer Institute (NCI) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has when you follow the links on ClinicalTrials . gov, which is supposedly sourced from the NCI:
61 TOTAL
1 – Not Yet Recruiting (Open)(Phase 3)
1 – Closed
2 – Terminated (Withdrawn due to slow enrollment)
7 – Withdrawn (This study has been withdrawn prior to enrollment)
10 – Recruiting (Open)
11 – Open (1 Not Yet Recruiting / 10 Recruiting)
40 – Active, not recruiting (Closed)
With the data being different between the 2 sources, how are we supposed to know what is correct?

Mr. Ogon, I’m not exactly who you were replying to, but you refer to a β€œ25% cure rate,” and in the below 2 studies, neither one mentions a β€œ25% cure rate” in it:
β€œYou mean PMIDs” re Drugs R D. 2003;4(2):91-101 β€œand ” Integr Cancer Ther. 2006 Mar;5(1):40-7? β€œ (These, at least, are the ones that Merola cites, which I assume is the sum total of your β€œfact checking.”)”
You then go on to comment:
β€œ(2) it’s essentially the same group in both”
However, the dosages in the 2 studies are different, so I am not certain how you came to the above conclusion

FW, you commented re Burzynski’s Phase 3 clinical trial:
β€œUnfortunately it backfired, because he seems quite happy to never start this trial, instead using it as a marketing tool, in the same way as he is happy to use individual patients”
Burzynski’s 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

Enter Your CommentMr. Chapman, you employ a favorite tactic of critics like you.
It seems you are more interested in addressing form (CAPITALIZATION) over substance (the real issues).
Maybe you think that your verbosity (17 posts) will somehow lend credibility to your 3 comments re the Declaration of Helsinki; which does NOT state WHEN human clinical trial results MUST be published, and even though you have repeatedly proclaimed that Burzynski has NOT published the FINAL results of any of his phase 2 clinical trials, you have NOT provided any indication as to WHEN any of those trials were completed so that they can be compared to the 2006 study I cited whose results were published in 2013.
You also commented:
β€œIn order to claim that he can cure incurable tumours, he needs to publish high quality clinical trial evidence in peer-reviewed journals,” yet you do NOT provide any citation, reference, or link that overrides the National Cancer Institute (NCI) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) information re publication which I have commented on previously.
It is apropo you commented:
β€œWatergate only involved a handful of people and it was busted almost immediately,” since President Nixon is credited with starting the β€œWar on Cancer,” and when Watergate occurred he was told that there was a cancer on the Presidency” but Watergate occurred in 1972 and Nixon didn’t resign until 2 years later, in 1974.
It is also appropriate that you mention oncologist David Gorski; who disclosed on social media that Peter Lipson is his β€œpal”
Did you review Burzynski’s 2003-2006 phase 2 clinical trials preliminary reports to see if any of the authors listed on them is an oncologist? No? That’s why your observation that Burzynski (a biochemist) is NOT an oncologist, is irrelevant.
Do you have any proof to back up your remarkable claim:
β€œAgainst that we have an anonymous shill who takes every word of the Burzynski clinic and its supporters as Revealed Truth”?
No? That’s because you’re wrong about that just like the other issues I’ve listed above.
Mr. Chapman, you attempts at obfuscation of the issues, does not impress.

HoustonCancerQuack proclaims:

“Fact-checking Burzynski II”

“DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE AN OPEN MIND?”

“DO YOU HAVE THE ALL THE FACTS?”

Let’s find out if they have all the “FACTS,” shall we?

“Basic claims about ANP”

“Antineoplastons are chemotherapy, regardless of what supporters say”

“Toxicity, reactions, and even patient deaths can and do happen due to their administration”

FACT: Is any citation, reference, or link to an independent reliable source provided for this claim?

“patient deaths can and do happen due to their administration”

NO

FACT: This is only an “opinion” until it is supported by “FACTS”

Here is what the National Cancer Institute (NCI) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) lists as POSSIBLE “Adverse Effects”:
http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/pdq/cam/antineoplastons/healthprofessional/page6
“The most common side effect of ANP, hypernatremia, is an effect of the sodium in the mixture”

FACT: Is any citation, reference, or link to an independent reliable source provided for this claim?

NO

FACT: Is “HYPERNATREMIA” listed on the above National Cancer Institute (NCI) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) list as a possible “Adverse Effect”?

Let’s see what we can find out about “HYPERNATREMIA,” shall we?

Support Care Cancer. 2013 Feb 13. [Epub ahead of print]
(Supportive Care in Cancer)

DOI
10.1007/s00520-013-1734-6

http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs00520-013-1734-6
This 3 month study of 3,446 patients in 2006 found that most of the HYPERNATREMIA (90 %) was acquired during hospital stay

HYPERNATREMIA in the U.S.:
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000394.htm
HYPERNATREMIA is the most common electrolyte disorder in the United States
In some cases, cancer may cause the condition

“In order to maintain their doses of ANP, patients are required to drink obscene amounts of water every day (some report up to 12 quarts or more)”

“If they fail to do so, they may lapse into unconsciousness or die”

Let’s put this in perspective

FACT: Some sources indicate:

1) A man should drink about
3 liters (101.44 ounces / 3 quarts 5.44 ounces) per day

{12 quarts = 384 ounces = 11.356 liters}

[12 quarts in 24 hours = 1/2 quart or 16 ounces per hour]

2) Extremely healthy kidneys could process about 30 ounces (approx .9 liters) of water in an hour

{30 ounces in 24 hours = 720 ounces}

[720 ounces = 22.5 quarts per day]

3) A person with healthy kidneys could develop water intoxication by drinking about 2 to 3 times what their kidneys can process

So, if extremely healthy kidneys could process about 30 ounces per hour and 12 quarts per day would require one to only drink 16 ounces per hour, that means one is being asked to drink 14 ounces less per hour than what extremely healthy kidneys could process

So even if one drinks more than 16 ounces per hour so that one does not have to be awake hourly, there is still opportunity to do that

Of course, there are certain other factors that might have to be taken into consideration depending on the patient

“There are two cases of children (Haley S. and Elizabeth K.) at The OTHER Burzynski Patient Group who have had strokes unrelated to their tumors, likely because of the treatment”

FACT: Is any citation, reference, or link to an independent reliable source provided for this claim?

NO

FACT: Is “STROKE” listed on the above National Cancer Institute (NCI) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) list as a possible “Adverse Effect”?

FACT: This is only an “opinion” until it is supported by “FACTS”

“For an example of a patient nearly overdosing, see Adam M’s story”

“Patients seem to often end up in the hospital because of the treatment”

FACT: Is any citation, reference, or link to an independent reliable source provided for this claim?

NO

FACT: Is “ENDING UP IN THE HOSPITAL” listed on the above National Cancer Institute (NCI) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) list as a possible “Adverse Effect”?

FACT: This is only an “opinion” until it is supported by “FACTS”

“A surgical oncologist, researcher and patient advocate explains why physicians question Dr. Burzynski’s methods:”

My blog explains WHY I question this physician:
http://www.stanislawrajmundburzynski.wordpress.com
“This physician and others declined to be interviewed for the movie because of Merola’s track record of slanted presentation and because of past threats issued by people hired by the Burzynski Clinic”

Past threats issued by people hired by the Burzynski Clinic”?

FACT: Is any citation, reference, or link to an independent reliable source provided for this claim?

NO

FACT: This is only an “opinion” until it is supported by “FACTS”

“What was the β€œpresent” from skeptics that was alluded to in the movie?”

“The β€œpresent” the Skeptics for the Protection of Cancer Patients (SPCP) delivered to Burzynski on his birthday, was a donation of $14,500 to St Jude Children’s Hospital for research into childhood cancers”

“They challenged Dr. Burzynski to match their donation”

“He did not”

“In fact, some of the interviews in the movie (conducted after the FDA inspection of the Burzynski Clinic, mentioned at the end) were filmed after the fundraiser had been announced, so Merola seems to have deliberately omitted the whole truth, because he certainly was aware of it”

“Doesn’t sound so sinister now, does it?”

“Also, Burzynski got a card”

Want to know what that “PRESENT” really was?

“Are skeptics really calling out cancer patients, ridiculing and harassing them?”

You tell me:

Sheila Herron (@Ac2cSheila) tweeted at 1:54pm – 31 Mar 12:

Peter Bowditch (@RatbagsDotCom) tweeted at 8:09pm – 19 Feb 13:

“What about the 2-hour rejection from The Lancet?”

“The vast majority of papers that get rejected from The Lancet are rejected within 48 hours thanks to an editorial pre-screening process”

“Most researchers are thankful for this courtesy because it allows them to resubmit to other journals more quickly”

“Why does Merola try to convince the audience that this is evidence of a conspiracy against Burzynski?”

Why bring it up if you really have nothing to add that is relevant?

FACT: The Lancet Oncology will not discuss any submission that may or may not have been submitted to The Lancet Oncology with anyone other than the corresponding author

To do so would constitute a breach in confidentiality

“Patients pay a lot of money upfront to enter his clinical trials, presumably believing that the trials will eventually be published”

Is that really the patients’
motivation?

FACT: Is any citation, reference, or link to an independent reliable source provided for this claim?

NO

FACT: This is only an “opinion” until it is supported by “FACTS”

“Burzynski has never published the results of those trials but keeps the money:”

Really?

“Speaking of harassment…”

“Merola does not mention that skeptics only caught wind of the Burzynski story in November 2011, after a teenaged blogger critical of the Clinic received phony legal threats from someone who had been hired by the Clinic to β€œclean up” its reputation”

“This person, Marc Stephens, sent this high school student images of his family’s home, the message clearly:”

β€œWe know where you live.”

“These threats were well documented in the international press”

“Somehow Merola managed to not mention that in the movie”

Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if the loquacious “teenaged” high school student got his “FACTS” straight:

“What really happened to Amelia Saunders?”

“Merola suggests that Amelia Saunders died as a result of her parents taking her off of antineoplaston therapy, that there β€œconfusion and disagreement” between the doctors in the UK and Houston’s reading”

Really?

Because promoting it once just isn’t good enough

4/15/2013 David H. Gorski tweeted away about his blog, about Eric Merola’s second movie, about Stanislaw Burzynski, Burzynski: Cancer Is A Serious Business, Part 2

A ?

Or, as they might say in Toronto, Canada,

Aye ?

Maybe this is the “screening” title, as opposed to:

“Burzynski: Cancer Is Serious Business, Part II”

@Gorskon mentions the “Skeptic Mule,” Brian Thompson, from the James Randi Educational Foundation (jref)
http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/2050-qburzynski-iiq-is-more-of-the-same.html
@OracKnows implies that he took advantage of his supposedly “awesome” commentary about his experience on the JREF Swift Blog,
https://stanislawrajmundburzynski.wordpress.com/2013/04/02/finally-james-randi-educational-fund-jref-wins-an-award-that-they-richly-deserve
and his “alleged” “COPIOUS notes,” which I referred to in my blog:
https://stanislawrajmundburzynski.wordpress.com/2013/03/14/my-1st-hand-review-of-oracs-2nd-hand-review-burzynski-cancer-is-serious-business-part-ii
Gorski dishonestly demonizes what he refers to as β€œthem” (i.e., Eric Merola) and mentions the skeptics promoted in Burzynski II, all with a heapin’ helpin’ of conspiracy-mongering

In this post, I will delve into a little more detail about the fundamental intellectual dishonesty behind Orac’s conspiracy-mongering

In particular, note how everything I said in my previous posts about what went on at the Q&A is verified, and, in fact, you now have the details

I will try to mention the specific time points to refer to as I go along

Also note that there is a segment at about the 47:45 mark in which JREF’s Brian Thompson (blurred out but still recognizable) speaks with the husband of one of Burzynski’s patients that is worth watching and that I will briefly discuss further into this post

3 things

3 things got me to thinking that I was probably due to write about Stanislaw Burzynski and his “Conspiracy Theory” propagandist Gorski again

The 1st thing, of course, was Gorski’s blog

The 2nd thing was the Q&A video

The 3rd thing was a rather odd online encounter that I had with @gorskon a couple of days ago

It was so bizarre that it left me scratching my head and thinking that @gorskon really needs to look at how he appears online

Either that, or he’s losing it

Regular readers probably remember that a couple of weeks ago I posted a shameless self-plug featuring a link to a YouTube video of a talk he did for the National Capital Area Skeptics on March 9 (which I can’t resist embedding my 21 point skidoo review blog again, for those of you who might not have seen itβ€”forgive me):

https://stanislawrajmundburzynski.wordpress.com/2013/04/02/critiquing-david-h-gorski-quackademic-medicine

It didn’t take long at all for @gorskon to get himself hence to Twitter to start tweeting:

I’m not sure if it was embarrassment or a stab of conscience, but Gorski’s immortal comments where he mentions that Eric Merola had contacted him about appearing in Burzynski: Cancer Is Serious Business, Part 2, is now gone from his blog, or hiding from me:

David Gorski (@gorskon) tweeted at 8:35am – 31 Mar 13:

Such is life

However, @gorskon’s ill-considered Twitter adventures got me interested in what he might be up to again, as did learning that he blogged about a Q&A after a screening of Burzynski II in Toronto

Gorski blogged:

“As with Merola’s screening at San Luis Obispo on March 10, this screening in Toronto, which occurred on April 5, was attended by at least one skeptic, who was kind enough to do the same thing our colleagues did in California and provide me with notes”

I wonder if they were “COPIOUS notes” like he “allegedly” received previously?

I hope that my discussion of these blog comments, and Q&A’s and of these twits will serve, along with my previous discussions, as educational background for those who attend further screenings of the Burzynski movie, for example the upcoming screening on April 27 at the Newport Beach Film Festival

Davey doubles down on the conspiracy-mongering

“The very first thing I noticed upon viewing the YouTube video of the Q&A from March was that the sheer conspiracy mongering that Merola engages in was not adequately captured by the notes”

Those “alleged” “COPIOUS notes”?

THAT is truly, truly over the top

Gorski continues:

“For instance, take a look at the segment beginning at about the 13:56 mark, in which Merola discusses how former senior advisor to President Obama David Axelrod allegedly watched the film”

“Merola repeated this very same story near the very beginning of his Q&A in Toronto, although he apparently did preface it with a disclaimer to the effect of something like, β€œI have no proof of this”

“You can believe me or not.”

“Clearly, the David Axelrod story is going to be a regular feature of Merola’s movie publicity tour, and Merola plans on using it at every Q&A”

“I can only hope that my reporting on it last time led him to add that little disclaimer”

David Gorski (@gorskon) tweeted at 12:27pm – 30 Mar 13:

This is not a mistake

Another “delusion of grandeur”?

Gorski proceeds:

“More importantly, I would love to see whether David Axelrod will actually respond to this, particularly now that we have evidence that Merola is telling this story other than reports of promoters of science-based medicine who were brave enough to go into the veritable lions’ den a month ago”

“Brave enough” ?

“Lions’ Den” ??

really ? Seriously ?? REALLY ???

So, as opposed to you (NOT) appearing in Burzynski 2?

Gorski questions:

“Can you imagine how some of them would react to a pharmaceutical company advertising off-label uses for its drugs?”

Oh, wait

We don’t have to imagine it

We already know

It would be like Orac commenting on a pharmaceutical company being fined $3 BILLION?

Gorski blathers on

“Next up, if you don’t believe me when I told you last time just how much Merola despises anyone whom he considers to be a member of β€œThe Skeptics,” just mosey on over to the segments at the 21:25 and 35:45 marks”

“At the 21:25 mark, Merola is asked, β€œHow did you discover the skeptics’ group and how did you gain access to the videoconference and do you know anything else about them?””

Merola’s answer:

“Sure”

“Basically, these guys have no shame whatsoever”

“They have no problem letting everybody know their names and putting themselves out there”

“I really believe that the lower tier guys, like the guys that you saw, they put that on YouTube and were very proud of it”

“I went through a lawyer to get legal clearance to make sure I was safe”

“That’s why they’re blurred out and their names are hidden”

Gorski blogospheresplats:

“If you want to know the utter intellectual dishonesty of this answer, realize that the segment that Merola included in his movie of β€œskeptics plotting” was nothing more than a clip taken from the Virtual Skeptics podcast (episode 13, to be precise) in which Bob Blaskiewicz was talking about Burzynski and his plans to raise money for St. Jude’s for Burzynski’s 70th birthday in January”

What David fails to do is describe this birthday “present” in detail as I did on my blog:
https://stanislawrajmundburzynski.wordpress.com/2013/03/26/critiquing-bob-blaskiewicz-burzynski-cancer-is-serious-business-part-ii
Gorski blatherskites on:

“Also note the disconnect between the movie, which, according to reports, implies that skepticsβ€”excuse me, β€œThe Skeptics,” to use Merola’s term in his movieβ€”are some shadowy cabal, while in the Q&A he admits that this stuff is on YouTube”

As if Bobby (Blatherskitewicz) Blaskiewicz’s and pals’ YouTube videos and blog which Merola specifically described as:

” … the LOWER TIER guys, like the guys that you saw, they put that on YouTube … ”

are the relevant part of the so-called

“shadowy cabal”

But none of that matters anyway because, apparently:

Is THAT all you’ve got ?

THIS is just the tip of the bucket list:

These individuals are also responsible for β€œgate keeping” the Wikipedia Page on The Burzynski Clinic

You will notice the β€œanti-Burzynski bloggers” refuse to do that or adhere to reputable sources
[…]

As one of those β€œgate keeping” wikipedians I find this quite laughable – not only the threat of β€œcovering” my identity, but also the suggestion that bloggers and wikipedians (there may be an overlap, but I can assure you that I’m not a blogger) refuse to check and adhere to reputable sources

So, where’s your “FACTS” that “PROVE” that Burzynski “sicced” anyone on him?

Don’t have any as usual ?

Gorski rants on:

“When someone like Merola promises to slime me in a movie that will see international distribution, I take notice”

You mean you knew from the beginning that it would have “international distribution”?

Gorski racks up more frequent “conspiracy-mongering” flyer miles

“Around the 35:45 mark, Merola is asked who is paying β€œThe Skeptics” and whether it’s been investigated”

Merola’s response:

“Yeah, I’ve done a lot of that myself, but frankly as you can imagine for legal reasons I just didn’t want to call them out”

“I’m not going to call them out”

“Not yet”

“I know who most all of them are”

“I know what they’re doing”

“But for legal reasons, because these guys are vicious and do not care about the truthβ€”they only care about winningβ€”and I don’t want to give them any reason to damage me any further or at all, frankly”

“So, yes, it’s been done, but they’re slippery, slippery people, and I’m not going to go any farther than that”

“But that would be a great thing, to have someone do a separate investigative report on just these guys, because most peopleβ€”the festival staff, most people that watched itβ€”said, β€œI’ve never even heard of these guys”

“I didn’t even know they existed.””

“Then they go back online, and they realize, wow, so they’re the ones doing all the damage online”

“They’re the ones doing this and that”

“That’s the best I can answer that”

“I’ve been trying to be careful myself, because they’re really nasty people”

Gorski theorizes:

“I was struck by how paranoid this sounded, even more so than I had expected based on reports I received”

Too bad you weren’t able to eruditely explain in detail how it’s supposedly “paranoid”

Gorski rambles:

“I was also further struck at how Merola describes Burzynski critics, who according to him are more than happyβ€”proud, evenβ€”to β€œput their names out there” as β€œspineless,” when he himself has decided for legal reasons not to β€œname names.””

What would you like better ?

Liars ?

Cowards ??

Dissimulators ???

Gorski rattles off:

“One can’t help but wonder if maybeβ€”just maybeβ€”the reason Merola’s lawyers told him not to β€œname names” is because they realized that much of what he says is likely to be libelous”

Would you like me to do some of it for him?

Gorski ruminates:

“Certainly, I consider it so from what I’ve been able to gather”

But then again, you don’t believe in “Free Speech” on your blog

Stanislaw Rajmund Burzynski, M.D., Ph.D and β€œFreedom of Speech”
https://stanislawrajmundburzynski.wordpress.com/2013/03/24/stanislaw-rajmund-burzynski-m-d-ph-d-and-freedom-of-speech

Gorski insists:

“In any case, what really bothers Merola is he knows damned well that I’ve actually read nearly every paper I can get my hands on about antineoplastons”

“I also have the skill set to analyze them, and I wasn’t impressed”

Like I have NOT been impressed by your lack of “fact-checking” and NOT backing up what you twit and blog about?

Gorski postulates:

” … their willingness becomes particularly problematic in the case of Tori Moreno”

“Moreno is a Burzynski patient from the late 1990s who is now 14 years old”

“She appeared in the video above and is scheduled to appear again with Eric Merola at the Newport Beach Film Festival screening, along with her parents”

“She was clearly nervous on stage, and it was clearly her father who was driving the bus, so to speak”

“I must admit that I have a real problem with her being used this way”

And in reference to adults he comments:

” … they are considered competent to make their own decisions with respect to speaking out”

“Such is not the case with an underage teen like Tori Moreno”

“From my point of view, poor Tori is being used as nothing more than a prop by Eric Merola and, sadly, her father to be presented as β€œliving proof” that Burzynski’s therapy works”

So, Gorski “thinks” (?) Tori is NOT “competent” to make her “own decisions with respect to speaking out”

But is she?

(“Such is not the case with an underage teen like Tori Moreno”)

Well, NOT if you’re “Dr. Free Speech”

And that’s something that needs to be said publicly

Gorski thinks we’re supposed to be impressed by:

“According to the NCI, treatment options include:”

“Therapeutic options include watchful waiting; …”

which refers to patents with dates from 2004 and 2005 re a Burzynski patient being treated about 10 years before those patents, in 1995

So what to make of all this?

Lessons for those who would oppose “The Skeptics”

Gorski’s comments re:

The Q&A session at San Luis Obispo and what I’ve learned about the Q&A session after the Toronto screening of Burzynski II provide many lessons for unbiased individuals and critics of skeptics who don’t “fact-check”

First and foremost, to me, at least, is the lesson that David H. Gorski can’t be trusted

He is a true believer, and he despises fact-checking

For instance, he clearly plans on repeating that Eric Merola clearly plans on repeating an “unbelievable” story about David Axelrod, even though there is NO indication that David’s done due diligence

Like below where he states:

“He demonstrates time and time again that he does not understand science, clinical trials, or why science-based oncologists do not take Burzynski seriously”

I guess the people that work at these places do NOT “take Burzynski seriously” either:

He’s using every tool at his disposal and is willing to cherry pick and distort information, and in general demonstrate no regard for the truth

In other words, one thing that anyone who wants to criticize Gorski should know is that Gorski is not convincible, not trustworthy, and likely to use whatever internet sources he has to attack, and anyone who wants to confront Gorski at a Q&A with a critical question needs to be prepared for the types of spin he will bring to bear

In particular, that includes not giving him what I like to call a β€œweasel” opening that allows him to attack based on one mistake and ignore everything else

He’s very good at that

Gorski ejaculates:

“The problem is the quality (more specifically, the lack thereof) and utterly unconvincing nature of Burzynski’s publications”

“He publishes in bottom-feeding journals and has not yet published a completed phase II clinical trial”

“That’s plenty bad enough”

“Burzynski has only published abstracts and partial reports on phase II trials, none of which are particularly convincing”

“His publications are all, as far as I’ve been able to tell, crap, and I’ve read nearly all of them”

This leaves one to wonder why DHG does NOT cite any US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), or National Cancer Institute (NCI) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) document that supports his position as to the RELEVANCE of the Impact Factor of any journal Burzynski has or may publish in, nor does he back up his comments re the Preliminary Reports that Burzynski has published re the Phase II clinical trials:

1996, phase II study of ANP in patients with brainstem gliomas opened and nearing completion
(Burzynski et al, 2003, 2004a, 2007)

studies are conducted at Burzynski Clinic and monitored by FDA and Institutional Review Board (IRB)

most recent report describes results in children with newly diagnosed DBSG
(Burzynski et al, 2007)

20 evaluable patients
5 with high-grade gliomas

overall survival (OS)
2 years – 40%
5 years – 30%

CR – 30%
PR – 10%
SD – 20%
PD – 40%
(Burzynski et al, 2007)

study closed for accrual and final results will be evaluated before end of 2007

Phase III protocol currently under FDA’s review

Results summarized in Table 2

proposed antineoplastic activity of ANP in DBSG consists of targeted therapy affecting AKT2 and TGFB1 pathways (PG), RAS, TP53, and p21 (PN) MYCC (PG and PN), MAD (PG), INI1 (PG), and apoptosis (PG and isoPG)

PG is formed in patient’s liver from PN and PB, but doesn’t share with PN and PB an inhibitory affect on HDAC

details of these mechanisms have been described previously

(Castillo et al, 1991; Liau et al, 1992; Adam et al, 1995; Liu and Samid, 1995; Shack et al, 1995; Danesi et al, 1996; Gorospe et al, 1996; Prasanna et al, 1996; Adam et al, 1997; Engelhard et al, 1997; Harrison et al, 1998; Ng et al, 2000; Witzig et al, 2000; Li et al, 2001; Burzynski et al, 2003, 2004a,b, 2005; Waldbillig and Burzynski, 2003; Burzynski, 2004b, 2006a,b)

DBSGs remain some of most tragic diagnoses in oncology

general opinion of neuro-oncologists that results of treatment for DBSG constitute worst response in all primary brain tumors

DBSGs occur usually in children, in whom brain tumors in general are 2nd most frequent malignancy, and most common form of solid tumors

Due to poor response, # of clinical trials in DBSG is small, and there isn’t much interest in bringing new agents into approval process by pharmaceutical companies

Most results of phase II trials with targeted therapy and ANP have been presented at oncology meetings and published as abstracts

It was decided to include data from meeting abstracts in order to present most up to date results, but they should be treated with caution until they pass scrutiny of peer review

Children, older than 3 years, and young adults with newly diagnosed tumors, are usually temporarily helped with standard radiation therapy, but it’s estimated that less than 10% of them will survive 2 years

Children, younger than 3 years, adults after age 40, and patients with high-grade glioma pathology have very grave prognosis, and median survival is similar to supratentorial GBM, or worse

Children diagnosed with DBSG and neurofibromatosis 1 have better prognosis, except those that show contrast-enhancement on MRI

prognosis is especially grave for patients with recurrent DBSG, who typically don’t survive longer than 6 months

Targeted radiotherapy and bevacizumab in combination with irinotecan may offer hope, but they would require further clinical trials

The patients with recurrent DBSG can be helped with treatments currently in phase II clinical trials

The results of phase II trials in DBSG with ANP compare favorably with responses and survival data in radiation therapy and chemotherapy trials

Currently conducted phase II studies are closed for accrual and nearing completion, and phase III studies are scheduled to open soon

Introduction of new multitargeted agents and acceleration of basic and clinical research in DBSG may offer better chances in the future

Ouch

Hopefully I didn’t fail to convey the full scope of “The Skeptics” true conspiracy theory awesomeness

That was awesome

“The Skeptics:” Your problem is, Wikipedia IS censored

A recent epistle by Guy Chapman
(@SceptiGuy @vGuyUK)
appeared on the blogosphere proclaiming:

“Homeopaths: Your problem is, Wikipedia is not censored”

“The quacks’ problem with Wikipedia is not that it is censored; it is that Wikipedia is not censored to protect their cherished delusions”

“Wikipedia is marvellous”

“It is the most visited informational site on the internet, and is run on a budget of peanuts, almost entirely by volunteers”
http://www.chapmancentral.co.uk/blahg/2013/04/homeopaths-your-problem-is-wikipedia-is-not-censored
Maybe Guy got the last part wrong

When it comes to the Wikipedia article on the Burzynski Clinic
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Burzynski_Clinic&mobileaction=toggle_view_desktop
it should possibly read:

“… run on a budget of volunteers, almost entirely by peanuts”

(or some other type of “nut”)

Interestingly enough, in regards to

Burzynski: Cancer is Serious Business, Part II

one of the “marvelous” censors on Wikipedia ejaculated for all to see
for posterity:

“We are told that 2013 will be a big year, but apparently his plan is to release another

bullshit

movie not to publish useful research”
