United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA): September 28, 2013 “The Skeptics™” Burzynski discussion: By Bob Blaskiewicz – 2:19:51

[1] – September 28, 2013 “The Skeptics™” Burzynski discussion: By Bob Blaskiewicz – 2:19:51
======================================
BB – Bob Blaskiewicz
——————————————————————
DJT – Didymus Judas Thomas
======================================
0:47:00
——————————————————————
BB – “Ummm, o-kay”

“Uh, I want to turn this over to the people who are watching”

“Um, I want to give them a a chance to address you as well”

“Uhmmm, hi everyone”
——————————————————————
0:48:00
——————————————————————
0:53:00
——————————————————————
BB – “A every time that I and and and and, and David (James @StortSkeptic the Skeptic Canary) points this out, that um, you you know you’re not going to speculate about the the FDA but then at every turn you’re invoking the FDA as being obstructionist“
——————————————————————
0:54:02
——————————————————————
BB – “I, I just find that to be contradictory and and self-defeating“
======================================
DJT – Bob, exactly where did I invoke “the FDA as being obstructionist” ?
======================================
1:02:00
——————————————————————
BB – “Um, it’s it’s it’s not the FDA’s, but you understand it’s not the FDA’s job to tell someone that their drug doesn’t work“
——————————————————————
1:03:00
——————————————————————
BB – “it’s it’s it’s up to Burzynski“

“It’s up to Burzynski to show that his drug does work”

“And it’s always been his burden of proof“

“He’s the one that’s been claiming this miracle cancer cure, forever”
======================================
DJT – Bob, Burzynski showed and proved what he needed to prove to the FDA in order to do phase 2 clinical trials, 9/3/2004 – FDA granted “orphan drug designation” (“ODD”) for Antineoplastons (A10 & AS2-1 Antineoplaston) for treatment of patients with brain stem glioma, .10/30/2008 – FDA granted “orphan drug designation” (“ODD”) for Antineoplastons (A10 and AS2-1 Antineoplaston) for treatment of gliomas, and FDA approved phase 3 [1-2]

Oh, and Bob, exactly when did Burzynski 1st claim “this miracle cancer cure” ?
======================================
1:04:02
——————————————————————
BB – “Um, that we’d love to see, however we can’t see, however we can’t see it because of proti protri proprietary uh protections that the FDA is giving to Burzynski, right ?”

“They’re not sharing his trial designs because they are his trial designs, right ?”

“That the makeup of his drug that he’s distributing are his, uh design, and his intellectual property“

“So the FDA is protecting him, uh from outside scrutiny“
======================================
DJT – Bob, you make it sound like it’s part of some grand “conspiracy” between Burzynski and the FDA to keep information from “The Skeptics™” [3]
——————————————————————
21CFR601

Subpart F–Confidentiality of Information

Sec. 601.50

Confidentiality of data and information in an investigational new drug notice for a biological product

(a) The existence of an IND notice for a biological product will not be disclosed by the Food and Drug Administration unless it has previously been publicly disclosed or acknowledged
======================================
BB – “While you may imagine that that, that that the FDA is is somehow antagonistic toward him“

“They’ve given him every opportunity, over 60 opportunities to prove himself worth uh their confidence and hasn’t“
======================================
DJT – Bob, that certainly explains the 9/3/2004 and .10/30/2008 ODD’s and phase 3 clinical trial approvals by the FDA – NOT [1-2]
======================================
1:05:00
——————————————————————
1:42:00
——————————————————————
BB – “I don’t, the thing is though that, that that’s a inver, shifting the burden of proof off of Burzynski”

“Burzynski has to prove them wrong, has to prove him right”

“The FDA is not there to say this doesn’t work”
======================================
DJT – Bob, who initiated and put into place the clinical trial hold ?

Burzynski ?

FDA ?

Both ?
======================================
1:43:30
——————————————————————
BB – “So, I mean, honestly, um, saying “Well, when the F, FDA tells you that it doesn’t work, the FDA’s never gonna say that because that’s not their job“
——————————————————————
1:44:00
——————————————————————
BB – “That’s not an option, because they’re never gonna do it“

“They relinquish, a lot of authority, over to Burzynski, and his Institutional Review Board, which, I would mention, has failed 3 reviews in a row”
======================================
Bob, where are the “final reports” for those “3 reviews” ?
======================================
BB – “Right ?”

“It is Burzynski’s job to be convincing”

“It is not our uh, uh, it it it he hasn’t produced in decades“

“In decades”

“In hundreds and hundreds of patients, who’ve payed to be on this”

“Hell, we’d we’d we’d like a prelim, well when you’re talking about something that is so difficult as brainstem glioma, that type of thing gets, really does in the publishing stream get fast-tracked there”
======================================
DJT – Bob, Burzynski has provided numerous phase 2 clinical trial preliminary reports, which our #fave oncologist has chosen to ignore [4]
======================================
BB – “they test it”

“Yeah, and they they they want uh, that was evidence of fast-tracking is what, that rejection was uh e was very quickly“
======================================
DJT – Bob, have you checked The Lancet Oncology [5] to see what was so much more important than Burzynski’s “phase 2 clinical trial Progression-Free Survival (PFS) and Overall Survival (OS) re patients 8 – 16 years after diagnosis, results” [6] and the Japanese antineoplaston study ? [7]
======================================
BB – “So, how long will it be before Burzynski doesn’t publish, that you decide that uh perhaps he’s he‘s, doesn’t have the goods ?“

“Um, so, uh, uh again, the FDA is not the arbiter of this“

“It’s ultimately Burzynski”

“You’ve been speculating about what the FDA’s motivation are like crazy”

“Why not speculate about Burzynski a little bit”
======================================
DJT – Well, how have I been speculating ?
======================================
1:46:00
——————————————————————
BB – “Well actually I’m not even asking you to speculate about Burzynski, I’m only asking you to tell me, how long would it take, uh how, for him to go unpublished like this, um, for this long, before you would doubt it ?”
======================================
DJT – Note how, above, without proving it, Bob claimed “at every turn you’re invoking the FDA as being obstructionist”, and now, directly above, again, without proving it, Bob claims “You’ve been speculating about what the FDA’s motivation are like crazy”
——————————————————————
DJT – what the journals keep saying, in response
======================================
BB – “What ?”
======================================
DJT – You know, are they going to give The Lancet response, like they did in 2 hours and such, saying, “Well, we think your message would be best heard elsewhere,” or they gonna gonna give The Lancet response of, “Well, we don’t have room in our publication this time, well, because we’re full up, so, try and pick another place” ?
======================================
BB – “But these but but but that doesn’t have any bearing on“

“That doesn’t”

“Oh I’m not asking you how long, how long, would it take you for you to start doubting whether or not he has the goods ?“

“How long would it take ?”

“It’s a it’s a it’s a question that should be answered by a number uh uh months ?“

“Years ?”

“How long ?”

“It’s been 15 years already”
======================================
DJT – Well, you like to jump up and down with the “15 year” quote, but then again I always get back to, Hey, it’s when, when the report, when the clinical trial is done
——————————————————————
1:47:06
——————————————————————
DJT – Not that he’s been practicing medicine medicine for 36 years, or whatever, it’s when the clin, clinical trial was done
======================================
BB – “I could push it back to 36 years”

“He hasn’t shown that it works for 36 years”

“I can do that”

“I was being nice”
======================================
DJT – Note how Bob acts like he’s been hit with “The Stupid Stick”

If he wants to go back “36 years”, I can refer back to 1991 (11/15/1991) – Michael J. Hawkins, M.D., Chief, Investigational Drug Branch, Department of Health &Human Services (HHS), Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Cancer Institute (NCI), sent a 1 page Memorandum Re:
Antineoplaston to Decision Network, which advised, in part:

“It was the opinion of the site visit team that antitumor activity was documented in this best case series and that the conduct of Phase II trials was indicated to determine the response rate” [8]
——————————————————————
DJT – The FDA A believes there is evidence of efficacy
======================================
BB – “Perhaps based on bad phase 2”
======================================
DJT – Well, we don’t know that

We don’t have the Freedom of Information Act information
——————————————————————
DJT – Remember, Bob is the one who told me during the 9/28/2013 Google+ Burzynski Discussion Hangout:

“You’re you’re you’re assuming”

“You’re you’re you’re assuming that”

“You’re assuming that”

“Um, I’m not assuming that”

“There is a correct answer here”

“You don’t know”

“You don’t know”

“You need to look into it”

“Alright ?”

“Before you dismiss it you have to look into it”

“Everytime somebody throws uh uh something to me,
I have to look into it”

“That’s just, it’s my responsibility as a reader”

“T t and what I would honestly expect and hope, is that you would be honest about this, to yourself, and and and that’s the thing we don’t, we often don’t realize that we’re not being honest with ourself“

“I try to fight against it, constantly”

Bob just ASSUMED that the FDA approved phase 3 clinical trials for Burzynski “Perhaps based on bad phase 2”, but tells me NOT to ASSUME ?
======================================
BB – “He withdrew”

“He withdrew the the phase 3 clinical trial”

“I that before recruiting,
although I’ve seen lots of people say they were on a phase 3 clinical trial“

“I wonder how that happened”
======================================
DJT – Well, we know what happened in the movie because Eric particularly covered that when they tried to get what, what, was it 200 or 300 something institutions to take on a phase 3, and they refused
======================================
1:48:01
——————————————————————
BB – “Uh did do do you think that if they thought that he was a real doctor that they all would have refused like that ?“
======================================
DJT – Well, Eric gave the reasons that they said they would not take a particular uh phase 3

And so using that excuse that you you just gave there, I’m not even gonna buy that one, because that’s not one of the reasons
——————————————————————
Note how Bob pulls out the old “if they thought that he was a real doctor” line ?

Is Bob now claiming that Burzynski is NOT even a “real doctor” ?
======================================
BB – “He’s changed things”
======================================
DJT – Eric said they gave
======================================
BB – “That The Lancet is a top-tier journal like New England Journal of Medicine“

“It’s basically be, besieged by uh 100′s of people submitting their, their, their reports”

“Um, it’s just, you know, let’s say he, someone has such a thin publishing record as Burzynski does, do you think that it’s likely that he will ever get in a top-tier journal ?“

“What about the the Public Library of Science?”

“It’s not the only journal there”

“What about BMC Cancer ?”

“There’s lots of places that he can go”
======================================
DJT – We’ll I’m
======================================
BB – “Um, and he doesn’t seem to to have evailed himself of that, as far as I can tell“

“And I would know because he’d get rejected, or he’d be crowing, you know”
——————————————————————
1:49:02
——————————————————————
BB – “Either way, he’s gonna tell us what happens”

“He told us what happened with The Lancet, you know”

“I don’t have any evidence that suggests to me that he’s even trying”
======================================
Note how Bob refers to Burzynski’s numerous publications as “such a thin publishing record”

Bob, do I need to count all of these for you ? [9]
——————————————————————
DJT – Well, I’m, I’m sure that they’re going to keep you appraised just like they have in the past, just like Eric has done in the past

So

I mean, we’ll see what happens with the Japanese study [7]
======================================
BB – “So let’s go back to this”

“How long will it take ?”

“How long will it take before you, the Japanese study’s interesting too because we should be able to find that in the Japanese science databases, and we can find, we can’t find it at all“

“We can’t find it anywhere”

“And, and those are in English, so it’s not a language problem“

“We can’t find that anywhere”

“We’ve asked”

“We asked Rick Schiff, for, for that study”

“And, and it hasn’t come to us“

“He is now I believe on the Board of Directors, over there”
——————————————————————
1:50:00
——————————————————————
BB – “He should have access to this”

“We can’t get it”
======================================
Bob, did you ask:

1. Annals of Oncology 2010;21:viii221 ?

2. European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), Colorectal cancer, Abstract: 3558, May 17, 2010 ?

3. Colorectal Cancer Association of Canada, COLORECTAL CANCER RESEARCH, Month Ending June 19, 2009
11. Antineoplaston Therapy Doubles 5-Year Survival Rate Following Curative Resection of Hepatic Mets (May 27/09) pg. 5 of 20 ?

4. Kurume University School of Medicine (Japan) Department of Surgery ?

5. Hideaki Tsuda ? [7]
======================================
BB – “How how long will it take before you recognize that, nothing is forthcoming ?”

“How long would that take ?”
======================================
DJT – Well that’s like me asking “How long is it going to take for y’all’s, y’all‘s Skeptics to respond to my questions ?”

Because y’all haven’t been forthcoming
======================================
BB – “Well, I mean, were talking about a blog here“

“We’re talking about life”

“No, we’re talking about a blogger’s feelings in that case“

“In in this case we’re talking about, 1,000′s of patients, over the course of of of generations, you know”

“This is important stuff”

“This is not eh eh equating what’s happening to to patients with what’s happening to you is is completely off-kilter as far as I can tell“

“It’s nothing”

“It’s nothing like you not getting to say something on my web-site”

“You know”

“This is they they have thrown in with Burzynski, and they’ve trusted him, and he’s produced nothing“

“Nothing of substance”
——————————————————————
1:51:00
——————————————————————
BB – “Nothing that that has made all of that um, uh, n nothing th th th that uh his peers would take seriously”

“The other thing that that that strikes me now is that, you know, you you you you keep saying that, well Eric is going to to share things with you”

“Does it ever concern you eh uh eh occur to you that Eric might not be reliable ?”
======================================
Bob, do you want to have a contest to determine which of you is more “reliable” ?
======================================
DJT – Well, he gave you The Lancet information and he posted the e-mail in the movie, and Josephine Jones posted a copy of it [6]
======================================
BB – “He then, and then he”

“And then he he, you know, the the the the dialogue that sprung up around that was, well see, he’s never going to get to get published”

“Well you’re just setting yourself up for wish fulfillment”

“You want him to be, persecuted, so you are ecstatic when he doesn’t get to publish, which is unfortunate for all the cancer patients, who really thought that one day, all the studies were going to be published”
——————————————————————
1:52:00
======================================
DJT – Well, y’all are free to, you know, claim that all you want, because I don’t always agree with Eric, and uh, he’s free to express his opinion
======================================
BB – “Where has Eric been wrong ?”
======================================
DJT – Well I don’t necessarily believe, what Eric would say about, you know, The Lancet that refused to publish the 2nd one, for the reasons he stated, and which y’all have commented on, including Gorski

You know, I don’t necessarily agree with that

I am more agreeable to y’all, saying that, you know, they’re busy, they’ve got other things to do, but I’m kind of still laughing at their 1st response which he showed in the movie about how they felt about, you know his results would be better in some other publication

I thought that was kind of a ridiculous response to give someone
======================================
BB – “It’s it’s it’s it’s a form letter“

“You know”

“They’re just saying, “No thanks””

““Thanks, but no thanks” is what they were saying, in the most generic way possible”

“Like I said, they’re besieged by researchers trying to publish“
——————————————————————
1:53:05
======================================
DJT – Well you would think that if its a form letter they would use the same form that they used the 2nd time

You know, they didn’t use the same wording that they used the 1st time

I would have think that, you know, their 2nd comment
======================================
BB – “So, so, possibly”

“So possibly what you are saying is that they in fact have read it, and after having read it they’ve rejected it”

“Is that what you’re saying ?”

“Because that’s what peer-review is”
======================================
DJT – Nah, I’m not saying that they did that all

I’m just sayin’, you know, that they gave, 2 different responses, and I would think that the 2nd one they gave
======================================
BB – “Do you know it was the same editor, that it came from the same desk ?”

“You can’t make that assumption that that the form letter will be the same form letter every time”

“I mean you just can’t“

“I mean in in some ways we have a lot of non-information that you’re filling in, with what you expect, as as opposed to what’s actually really there, and I I I just think you’re putting too much uh stock in one uh, uh, in in in in this uh the publication kerfuffle“
——————————————————————
1:54:16
——————————————————————
BB – “Um”
======================================
DJT – Well I find it funny, something along the lines of, you know, “We believe your message would be received better elsewhere, you know

I don’t see that as a normal response, a scientific publication would send to someone trying to publish something

I mean, to me that sounds, like, if you’re doing that, and you’re The Lancet Oncology, maybe you need to set some different procedures in place, ‘cuz you would think that with such a great scientific peer-reviewed magazine, that they would have structured things in as far as how they do their operations
======================================
BB – “Well, not necessarily“

“I’ve been in any # of professional groups where the organization is just not optimal, and publications certainly th there are all sorts of pressures from all sorts of different places”
——————————————————————
1:55:08
——————————————————————
BB – “I I have no problems whatsoever with seeing that this might not be completely uh um uh streamlining uniform processes as possible“

“The fact that it’s not uniform, doesn’t have anything to do with Burzynski not publishing, not producing good data”

“Not just going to a, you know, god, even if, even if, let’s put it this way, even if he went to a pay to play type publication where you have to pay in order to get your manuscript accepted; and he has the money to do this, it wouldn’t take that much, and he were to put out a good protocol, and he were to show us his data, and he would make his, his his stuff accessible to us, then we could validate it, then we could look at it and say, “Yeah, this is good,” or “No, this is the problem, you have to go back and you have to fix this””

“Right ?”

“So we really, every time we talk about the letter that he got, yeah that doesn’t have much to do with anything, really”
——————————————————————
1:56:02
——————————————————————
BB – “We wanna see the frickin’ data”

“And if he had a cure for some cancers that otherwise don’t have reliable treatments, he has an obligation to get that out there anyway he can“

“And if if peer-review doesn’t, you know, play a, if peer-review can’t do it, you know, isn’t fast enough for him, then he should take it to the web, and he should send copies out to every pediatric, uh, you know, oncologist that there is“

“That’s the way to do it”
======================================
DJT – Well, I’m sure, I’m sure Gorski would have a comment about that, as he’s commented previously about how he thinks uh Burzynskishould publish
======================================
1:57:10
——————————————————————
BB – “It’s the, it’s the data itself“

“If if Burzynski is is, is confident in his data, he will put it out there“

“Right ?”

“One way or the other”
======================================
DJT – Like I said before

Like I said before on my blog, you know, even if Burzynski publishes his phase 2 information, Gorski can just jump up and down and say, “Well, that just shows evidence of efficacy, you know, it’s not phase 3,
so it doesn’t really prove it”
——————————————————————
1:58:04
——————————————————————
DJT – So then he can go on, you know, for however many years he wants to
======================================
2:01:00
——————————————————————
BB – “Um, almost no treatment goes out without trials“

“Massive amounts of data are required”
======================================
Bob, do you think that’s the 2.5 million pages of clinical trial data that Fabio said Burzynski sent to the FDA ? [10]
======================================
2:02:00
——————————————————————
BB – “Uh, in in in that sense, you know, uh all the the the, you know, kind of back-peddling and and and trying to defend him is is going to, not going to help his case at all“
======================================
Bob, exactly where did I exhibit any “kind of back-peddling” ?
======================================
2:03:03
——————————————————————
BB – “You are, honestly as far as I can tell you are doing the um, you know, you’re you’re ah throwing up uh, uh, uh, you’re giving me another uh invisible dragon in the garage, um”
======================================
DJT – Well y’all, y’all can call things what y’all want

I mean, y’all can give these, fallacy arguments and all that garbage that y’all like, because that’s what y’all like to talk about instead of dealing with the issues

I mean, Gorski doesn’t want to deal with the issues
======================================
2:04:11
——————————————————————
BB – “Okay, so”

“What you’re telling me is that you trust the FDA to to be able to tell you when he’s not doing, good science, but also that you don’t trust the FDA”

“Do you see an inherent conflict there ?”
======================================
DJT – How did I say I, I didn’t trust them ?
======================================
BB – “Well, when I, whenever I would ask about, like, why would these trials aren’t happening uh and, you know, you say well the the FDA’s arranged it“

“The FDA’s in control”

“They sign off on these things”

“But they’re they’re they’re they’re at the same that they’re, they’re trustworthy they’re also not trustworthy depending on what you need for the particular argument at the time“
——————————————————————
2:05:12
——————————————————————
BB – “You’re suggesting that they’re untrustworthy”
======================================
DJT – No, I’m just sayin’ that I’ve raised questions and none of The Skeptics wanna to uh talk about ‘em [11]
======================================
BB – “Do you know that the FDA pulled out of the prosecution ?”

“Did you know that the FDA pulled out of the prosecution um of his criminal case, because they were backing a researcher ?”
======================================
Bob, would that “researcher” be Dvorit D. Samid, who was in Burzynski: Cancer is Serious Business (Part I) ?
——————————————————————
DJT – Well, we know a lot stuff they did, but that still doesn’t impress me that they pulled out of the prosecution

I mean
======================================
BB – “Yeah, the the the it wasn’t the FDA who was pressing charges, it was a Federal prosecutor“
======================================
DJT – Right
======================================
BB – “Right”

“And and, they declined to provide information that the prosecution needed“

“That’s important”

“That that that’s really important“

“That he has been given the benefit of the doubt, and he has come up wanting, for decades now”
======================================
DJT – Well I find it interesting a lot of this uh, a lot of these letters that were provided between, you know, the government and Burzynski, when the uh phase 2 study was going on, at the behest of the NCI

You know, anybody who reads that stuff knows, that when you just ignore the person that’s been doing, do treating their patients for 20 something years, or close to 20 years, and you change the protocol without his approval, and you don’t use the drugs in the manner that he knows works
======================================
2:10:15
——————————————————————
BB – “One of the interesting things about Doubting Thomas that I think you should definitely consider for yourself, is that at some point, when faced with the real opportunity to prove or disprove his assertions, he doubted himself”

“And that’s important”

“And that’s where you’re falling short in the analogy”
======================================
DJT – Well, I think The Skeptics, Skeptics are falling short because, you know, they don’t own up to
======================================
BB – “I’ve laid out exactly what it would take for me to turn on a fucking dime”

“I have, I have made it abundantly clear what I need“

“Gorski has made it abundantly clear”

“Everybody else, Guy, and David, and Josephine Jones, uh, the Morgans, all of them have made it abundantly clear, what it would take to change our minds, and you’ve never done that”
——————————————————————
2:11:02
——————————————————————
BB – “And even in this, this was an opportunity to do that“

“To come up with a basis for understanding, where it’s like, you know what, If we can show this, you know, if we can show a this guy, that, that, there, that his standards are not being met, then, you know, we could possibly have some sort of ongoing dialogue after this”
======================================
DJT – So I can say that since the Mayo Clinic (Correction: M.D. Anderson) finished their study in 2006, and it took them until 2013, to actually publish it, then I can say, well, Burzynski finished his in 2009, which was 3 years later, which would give Burzynski until 2016
======================================
BB – “Why wasn’t that study”
======================================
DJT – for me to make up my mind (laughing)
======================================
BB – “Why wasn’t that, that that that, still . . again, it it doesn’t seem really to to approach the the the, main question here“

“You know, um . . what are the standards that you have that it isn’t, what are your standards to show that it isn’t efficacious ?“
——————————————————————
2:12:05
======================================
DJT – Well I can say, well I’m going to have to wait, the same amount of time I had to wait for Mayo (Correction: M.D. Anderson) to publish their study; which was from 2006 to 2013
======================================
BB – “Why was the Mayo”

“Why was the Mayo (Correction: M.D. Anderson) study delayed ?”
======================================
Note how Bob ASSUMES that the publishing of the final results of the M.D. Anderson study were delayed
——————————————————————
DJT – How do you know it was delayed ?
======================================
BB – “Well you said you had so many years before you finish it and go in”
======================================
DJT – I mean, has anybody
======================================
BB – “Why, why did it take so long ?“
======================================
DJT – done a review of when a clinical trial is studied, and completed, and how long it took the people to publish it ?

You know

If they could point to me a study that’s done that, and say, well here’s the high end, here’s the low end of the spectrum, here’s the middle
======================================
BB – “I have something for you, okay ?”

“Send me that”

“Could you send me that study the way that it was published because um, just just send me the final study, um, to my e-mail address”
======================================
DJT – Sure
======================================
BB – “Um, because, I can ask that question of those researchers, why was this study in this time, and what happened in-between”
——————————————————————
2:13:03

BB – “Why did it take so long for it, for it to come out”
======================================
DJT – Sure, but that’s not gonna, you know like, answer an overall question of, you know, somebody did a comparative study of all clinical trials, and, when they were finished, and at, and when the study was actually published afterwards

You know, that’s only gonna be one, particular clinical study
======================================
BB – “Right”

“Um, but it it would, perhaps, answer the question; because you’re using it as an example on the basis of which to dismiss criticism, whether or not, uh, it is the standard, and therefor you’re allowed to accept that Burzynski hasn’t published until 2016, or, um, it’s an anomaly, which is also a possibility, that most stuff comes out more quickly“
======================================
DJT – Well, we know that the Declaration of Helsinki doesn’t even give a standard saying, “You must publish within x amount of years,” you know ?

So, I’ve yet to find a Skeptic who posted something that said, “Here are the standards, published here”
======================================
2:14:07
——————————————————————
BB – “I I, yeah, the other thing that David James points out is you know, why 2016 when he’s had 36 years already ?“
======================================
DJT – Again, we get back to, when the clinical trial is finished, not when Burzynski started
======================================
BB – “Treating people”
======================================
DJT – I mean, you would expect to find a results to be published after, the final results are in
======================================
BB – “You would expect the Burzynski Patient Group to be a lot bigger after 36 years, and in fact is
======================================
DJT – You would expect some people would want to have confidentiality, and maybe not want to be included
======================================
BB – “So, if you’re unsure about this stuff, if you’re unsure about the the time to publication, why are you defending it so hard, other than saying, “I don’t know, I really need to”
======================================
DJT – Why am I unsure ?
======================================
BB – “Uh about the
======================================
DJT – (laughing) I just gave you an example
======================================
BB – “The reasons, the reasons for which that he’s, no, why are you defending him so hard, when you’re unsure ?
——————————————————————
2:15:02
======================================
DJT – Oh, who said I was unsure ?

I just gave you an example
——————————————————————
Note how Bob ASSUMES that I’m “unsure” when I had the same answer since 0:32:07 [12]

Bob, who approves “Accelerated Approval” ?

1. FDA ?

2. A peer-reviewed scientific journal ?

3. The Skeptics™ ?

Bob, It’s your unlucky [13]

Critiquing Wikipedia: Burzynski Clinic, Colorado Public Television (CPT12), and Public Broadcasting System (PBS)

[1] – Wikipedia, which is behind on updating the “propaganda” on their Burzynski article, posted:

Legal issues

2010 film, Burzynski – Cancer is Serious Business

[2] – “A showing of Burzynski by CPT12 only generated a handful of complaints to the PBS Ombudsman“

“These mostly concurred with earlier reviewers of the film that the movie displays a serious lack of objectivity”

[3] – “Some CPT staffers were also criticized for failing to ask Eric Merola any of the hard questions”[65]

[4] – What Wikipedia fails to advise the reader is how many times “The Skeptics™” lied, misinformed, disinformed, and / or did NOT provide any citation(s), reference(s), and / or link(s) to support their claims, did NOT respond to questions, used adolescent excuses and / or instead of addressing one issue per comment, posted numerous multiple issues in each comment which required research to address each issue, and thus #FAILED on the CPT12 Facebook page

=====================================

Dr. David H. “Orac” Gorski, MD, PhD, FACS, maybe you should check your F-A-C-T-S

For years, Gorski has been able to comment on Burzynski’s “personalized gene targeted therapy” with impunity

It’s about time he received some personal attention, leading to heapin’ helpings of not-so-Respectful Insolence

All of the below articles by Gorski were tagged as having to do with:

personalized gene targeted cancer therapy, or mention it
——————————————————————
http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/tag/personalized-gene-targeted-cancer-therapy/
——————————————————————
I AM ADDING TO THIS AS I GO ALONG
======================================
[1] – 6/5/2013 – ” … in January the Burzynski Clinic removed all references to antineoplaston therapy on its website … “
——————————————————————
[2] – 8/4/2013 – I proved Gorski wrong since Burzynski’s scientific publications regarding antineoplaston therapy are on the Burzynski website
======================================
[1] – 6/5/2013 – “Three years should be plenty of time to line up clinical sites for a phase III trial”

“Of course, given that after three years the clinical trial hasn’t been opened, more than likely no reputable institution wants to partner with the Burzynski Research Institute, and ResearchPoint collected its checks”
——————————————————————
[3] – 7/18/2013 – This statement by Gorski is disingenuous since 6/3/2013 he reviewed Burzynski: Cancer Is Serious Business, Part II where this issue was addressed, and he made NO COMMENT about it in his review

Gorski can distort, exaggerate, and even lie to the public
======================================
[1] – 6/5/2013 – “Another interesting tidbit in the SEC filing is Burzynski’s report of the results of several of his clinical trials”

“They aren’t really “results’ per se, in that the information presented really isn’t provided in a form that really allows other investigators to evaluate it and potentially replicate it”

“Basically it’s a big table listing Burzynski Research Institute clinical trials”

“Of course, I realize that this is an SEC filing, not a scientific paper in the peer-reviewed literature, but if Burzynski has all this data to produce this table it boggles the mind that, given at least a decade and a half since these trials began, he hasn’t been able to publish any meaningful data thus far”

“That he hasn’t been able to do so is also a big red flag”
——————————————————————
[5] – 8/21/2013 – That Gorski has NOT been able to prove that the 4 Burzynski publications I refer to are NOT “meaningful data” is a big red flag
======================================
[6] – 6/4/2013 – “It’s a theme that is repeated throughout the report but that ignores the astounding level of sheer deception that goes on at the Burzynski Clinic, the allegations of overfilling, and how Burzynski has abused the clinical trial process to keep treating patients with antineoplastons without actually having to do the science that any other doctor would be required to do to validate a new treatment”
——————————————————————
[7] – 6/23/2013 – This is the 1st time I’ve seen Gorski allege “overfilling,” and I sure have NOT seen him provide any proof of that or that Burzynski is NOT doing “the science that any other doctor would be required to do to validate a new treatment”

If anyone is being “deceptive,” it seems to be Gorski
======================================
[6] – 6/4/2013 – Dr. Elloise Garside, a research scientists, echoes a lot of the questions I have, such as how Burzynski never explains which genes are targeted by antineoplastons, … “
——————————————————————
[8] – 8/7/2013 – Gorski has NO response for where I list where Burzynski “explains which genes are targeted by antineoplastons”
======================================
[6] – 6/4/2013 – ” … what the preclinical evidence supporting their efficacy are … “
——————————————————————
[9] – 3/16/2013 – Gorski does NOT mention where he’s reviewed “the preclinical evidence supporting their efficacy”
======================================
[6] – 6/4/2013 – ” … or what the scientific rationale is to expect that they might have antitumor activity”
——————————————————————
[10] – 8/8/2013 – Gorski reviewed “Burzynski: Cancer Is Serious Business” (Part I), but acts as if Dvorit D. Samid was NOT mentioned, and that he is NOT aware that the BurzynskiMovie website contains supporting documentation

I can’t let such statements go unchallenged

It means Nada Zero Zip
======================================
[6] – 6/4/2013 – “In science, all that matters is what you publish, and Burzynski hasn’t published anything other than case reports, tiny case series, and unconvincing studies, mostly (at least over the last decade or so) in crappy journals not even indexed on PubMed”
——————————————————————
[5] – 8/21/2013 – I remain unimpressed that Gorski has NOT written a review of Burzynski’s 2003-2010 phase II clinical trial preliminary reports
======================================
[6] – 6/4/2013 – “Without a doubt, the most effective part of the story is the segment in which Dr. Jeanine Graf of the Texas Children’s Hospital is introduced”

“Dr. Graf is the director of the pediatric intensive care unit there and has taken care of lots of Burzynski patients, as her hospital is “just down the road” from the Burzynski Clinic and these unfortunate children are brought to her hospital when they decompensate”

“Indeed, coupled with this segment is an interlude where Luna Petagine’s mother complains that the staff there know and recognize Burzynski patients (and, she notes, hate the Burzynski Clinic)”

“Particularly damning is how Ms. Petagine said that the Texas Children’s Hospital Staff “were always cleaning up Burzynski’s messes.””

“Luna was brought to the Texas Children’s Hospital during her time in Houston, and the staff there recognized right away that she was a Burzynski patient because they had seen so many similar patients suffering the same complications before”

“It was also clear how much contempt the staff there had for the Burzynski Clinic”

“If there’s one thing Panorama did right in this report, it’s showing how seeing so many already dying children show up in our ICU because of hypernatremia due to antineoplaston therapy will do that”

“Perhaps the most devastating part of this segment was seeing Dr. Graf stating, point blank, that she’s never seen a Burzynski patient survive”

“True, she does point out that patients don’t come to her until they are in extremis, but the fact remains that she’s never seen any of them live”
——————————————————————
[11] – 4/24/2013 – What is so ridiculous about this is that Richard Bilton wanted numbers from Burzynski, but then when it came to this part of the documentary, he somehow forgets how to ask how many patients this applies to, and Gorski compounds this by trying to blame hypernatremia on antineoplaston therapy, but he refuses to explain how it is that in this Division of Internal Medicine / Department of General Internal Medicine, University of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX, USA, cancer study, over a 3 month period in 2006 re 3,446 patients, most of the HYPERNATREMIA (90 %) was acquired during hospital stay, and these patients were NOT on antineoplaston therapy

Arrogance, dismissiveness, and condescension make him his own worst enemy
======================================
[6] – 6/4/2013 – “Burzynski also pulls out the old trope that, if the FDA has been letting him use antineoplastons for 20 years in clinical trials if they weren’t safe and potentially effective, that the FDA wouldn’t let him “sell hope without evidence.””

“(Those of us following Burzynski for a while know, unfortunately, that that isn’t necessarily true.)”
——————————————————————
[12] – 4/25/2013 – “The FDA’s Drug Review Process: Ensuring Drugs Are Safe and Effective” advises:

“[T]he emphasis in Phase 2 is on EFFECTIVENESS”

“Phase 3 studies begin if EVIDENCE of EFFECTIVENESS is shown in Phase 2″

The FDA has approved Burzynski’s phase 3 clinical trials, which means that antineoplastons have shown evidence of effectiveness, whether Gorski likes it or NOT
======================================
[6] – 6/4/2013 – ” … he goes on to repeat the same refrain he’s been repeating for the last decade or so about how he’s on the verge of publishing all the results that will convince everyone”

“One notes that we’re still waiting”
——————————————————————
[13] – 7/25/2013 – Gorski provides NO citation to support his statement, and, he did a review of “Burzynski: Cancer Is Serious Business, Part II,” but conveniently does NOT comment in his review about the refusal e-mail shown in the film, and its suspect content
======================================
[6] – 6/4/2013 – “Burzynski needs to publish, but I highly doubt that he will, at least not in a form that is informative to real oncologists”
——————————————————————
[5] – 8/21/2013 – I’m waiting for Gorski to prove that the 4 Burzynski publications I refer to are “NOT in a form that is informative to real oncologists”

Why don’t YOU cite a phase 2 clinical trial final publication that has substantially more data fields than the 4 publications I mention ?
======================================
[4] – 6/3/2013 – “I refer you to the link for my discussion of many of the problems with the movie”

“Here I will concentrate mainly on issues that I haven’t discussed before, because actually seeing Burzynski II was a revelation”

“(Yes, I put that sentence there on purpose, Eric Merola; quote mine it if you have the cojones)”
——————————————————————
[3] – 7/18/2013 – Gorski, don’t wait for Eric Merola to quote you

I’ve quoted you

Now let’s see if YOU have the cajones

MY review of your “review” should be a revelation to YOU
======================================
[4] – 6/3/2013 – “I’m referring to Chris Onuekwusi, a man who was diagnosed with stage I colon cancer”

“Instead of undergoing straightforward surgery that we know to have a high probability of success (which, I’ll also point out, can be done these days through minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques), Onuekwusi balked, as described in more detail than in the movie in this article on the Burzynski Patient Group website”

“He had even gone for a second opinion at one of the leading cancer centers in the world, the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, where the surgeon told him the same thing”

“He needed surgery first”
——————————————————————
[3] – 7/18/2013 – Mr. Onuekwusi did NOT want surgery
======================================
[4] – 6/3/2013 – “So what did Burzynski recommend instead of surgery?”

“He recommended a cocktail of three drugs given off-label:”

“Zolinza, Xeloda, and Avastin”

“Zolinza is vorinostat, a histone deacetylase inhibitor; Xeloda is capecitabine, which is a prodrug for 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), a pyrimidine analog that inhibits the enzyme thymidylate synthetase and thereby inhibits DNA synthesis to toxic effect in rapidly dividing cells; and Avastin is bevacizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody directed against vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A)”

“As I described in a previous post about Burzynski’s “personalized, gene-targeted cancer therapy,” apparently Burzynski sent Onuekwusi’s tumor to Caris for testing”
======================================
[14] – 3/2010 – Burzynski advised that a blood or pathology specimen can be used for testing, and that results from a blood test can be obtained within 2 days, and used and refined by a pathology specimen within 2 to 3 weeks
======================================
[4] – 6/3/2013 – “Caris generated a report, as it always does, and Burzynski came up with a witches’ brew of new expensive targeted agents, all said to be “off-label.””
======================================
[15] – 5/17/2011 – Well, not exactly

Burzynski made it clear in part 2 of this interview that there is constant searches of medical literature (phase 2 and phase 3 publications) to research the medications to be used based on the cancer genes involved, and that they have worked on software so oncologists can use it to choose the best medications instead of reinventing the wheel and having to review the medical literature again

So, he does NOT come up with a “witches’ brew”
======================================
[4] – 6/3/2013 – “One of these drugs is just an old chemotherapy drug in a new form”

“Xeloda is, in essence, 5-FU, a chemotherapeutic drug that has been used to treat colorectal cancer, both as adjuvant chemotherapy and first-line therapy for metastatic disease, for over 40 years”

“There’s nothing really “targeted” about the drug except that it inhibits an enzyme, the way that many drugs do and have been known to do for decades”

“The advantage of Xeloda is that it can be administered orally, which is a good thing”
======================================
[16] – What Gorski fails to mention is that Xeloda (Capecitabine) is approved to be used alone or with other drugs to treat:

Stage III colon cancer in patients who have had surgery to remove cancer

May also apply to unapproved uses being studied
——————————————————————
[17] – fluoropyrimidine carbamate belonging to class of antineoplastic agents called antimetabolites

As prodrug, capecitabine is selectively activated by tumor cells to cytotoxic moiety, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU); subsequently, 5-FU is metabolized to 2 active metabolites, 5-fluoro-2-deoxyuridine monophosphate (FdUMP) and 5-fluorouridine triphosphate (FUTP) by tumor cells and normal cells

FdUMP inhibits DNA synthesis and cell division by reducing normal thymidine production, while FUTP inhibits RNA and protein synthesis by competing with uridine triphosphate for incorporation into RNA strand
======================================
[4] – 6/3/2013 – “Similarly, Avastin, although relatively new, is also commonly used for colorectal cancer, albeit usually for metastatic disease and not as adjuvant chemotherapy”
======================================
[18] – What Gorski fails to mention is that Avastin (Bevacizumab) is approved to be used alone or with other drugs to treat:

Colorectal cancer that has metastasized (spread to other parts of body)

May also apply to unapproved uses being studied
——————————————————————
[19] – A recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody directed against the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a pro-angiogenic cytokine

Bevacizumab binds to VEGF and inhibits VEGF receptor binding, thereby preventing the growth and maintenance of tumor blood vessels
======================================
[4] – 6/3/2013 – “That leaves Zolinza, which is an HDAC inhibitor used to treat cutaneous T cell lymphoma”
======================================
[20] – What Gorski fails to mention is that Zolinza (Vorinostat) is a histone deacetylase inhibitor, approved for treatment of cutaneous manifestations of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) in patients with progressive, persistent, or recurrent disease

May also apply to unapproved uses being studied
——————————————————————
[21] – A synthetic hydroxamic acid derivative with antineoplastic activity

Vorinostat, a 2nd generation polar-planar compound, binds to catalytic domain of histone deacetylases (HDACs)

Allows hydroxamic moiety to chelate zinc ion located in catalytic pockets of HDAC, thereby inhibiting deacetylation and leading to accumulation of both hyperacetylated histones and transcription factors

Hyperacetylation of histone proteins results in upregulation of cyclin-dependant kinase p21, followed by G1 arrest

Hyperacetylation of non-histone proteins such as tumor suppressor p53, alpha tubulin, and heat-shock protein 90 produces additional anti-proliferative effects

Agent induces apoptosis and sensitizes tumor cells to cell death processes

Vorinostat crosses blood-brain barrier
======================================
[4] – 6/3/2013 – “One wonders if Burzynski included a second HDAC inhibitor, his second favorite drug after antineoplastons, sodium phenylbutyrate”
======================================
[22] – 11/19/2012 – Gorski, if you had done “exhaustive research” on Burzynski and “Gene-Targeted Cancer Therapy,” you would have viewed this @youtube video:

Texas Med. Bd. v. Dr. Burzynski – Gene-Targeted Cancer Therapy – Case Dismissed 11/19/2012
BurzynskiMovie

and you would have heard Mr. Onuekwusi say at 3:45, that he took phenylbutyrate (PB)
======================================
[4] – 6/3/2013 – “So, by Merola’s own description, what Burzynski did was to administer a toxic form of treatment that was probably not needed (chemotherapy) using drugs that were not approved for that indication, and apparently didn’t insist that the patient needed surgery”
======================================
[23] – 12/13/2012 – Gorski publishes so much garbage that he may have forgotten his article where he posted:

“Then, there is also this video, produced by the Burzynski clinic itself:”

“At around the three minute mark, the announcer states:”

“We combine gene-targeting drugs and low dose chemo, if needed”
======================================
[4] – 6/3/2013 – “Now, it’s possible that the combination of drugs did eliminate the tumor”
======================================
Gorski, do you think that’s because as mentioned in [15], above, Burzynski would review publications like this ?

[24-25] – Xeloda (Capecitabine)
[24+26] – Avastin (Bevacizumab)
[25+26] – Zolinza (Vorinostat)

[24] – 8/23/2011 – A randomized, phase III trial of capecitabine [Xeloda] plus bevacizumab [Avastin] (Cape-Bev) versus capecitabine plus irinotecan plus bevacizumab (CAPIRI-Bev) in first-line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer: the AIO KRK 0110 trial/ML22011 trial
[1st-line treatment of patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC)]
——————————————————————
[25] – 11/2/2010 – Vorinostat [Zolinza] synergises with capecitabine [Xeloda] through upregulation of thymidine phosphorylase
——————————————————————
[26] – 4/2012 – Phase I–II study of vorinostat [Zolinza] plus paclitaxel and bevacizumab [Avastin] in metastatic breast cancer: evidence for vorinostat-induced tubulin acetylation and Hsp90 inhibition in vivo
——————————————————————
[4] – 6/3/2013 – “In my opinion, Burzynski deserves to have his medical license taken away on the basis of how he treated Chris Onuekwusi alone, not even considering all the other dubious things he’s done”
======================================
[27] – 8/27/2013 – In my opinion, Gorski deserves to have his medical license taken away on the basis of how he has misinformed, disinformed, and lied about Burzynski, not even considering all the other dubious things he’s done
======================================
[4] – 6/3/2013 – “All I can say is that Merola and Burzynski must not have searched very hard, because I quickly found a few … “

“Truly, Merola’s “exhaustive” research skills need some upgrading”

“It took me two minutes to find those articles”
======================================
[22] – 11/19/2012 – All I can say is that Gorski must NOT have searched very hard, because I quickly found this @youtube video about Dr. Burzynski – Gene-Targeted Cancer Therapy, which includes a segment on Burzynski’s cancer gene testing at 2:45

Truly, Gorski’s “exhaustive” research skills need some upgrading, since nowhere does it indicate that Burzynski was involved with doing Merola’s research

It took me 2 minutes to find this out

Seeing is believing?

To me seeing is knowing just how intellectually dishonest David Gorski is
======================================
[4] – 6/3/2013 – Seeing The Skeptics

“Particularly seemingly damning are a series of Tweets flashed on the screen saying things like the Hope for Laura fund (the fund set up by Laura Hymas to pay for her treatment at the Burzynski Clinic) “appears to be just a money laundry for a lying quack fraud” and “when Laura dies #Burzynski will just move on to his next mark if she doesn’t run out of money first.””

“I think I know whose Tweets these were”

“In fact, I’m sure I know whose Tweets these were, and all I can say to that person is this:”

“Zip it”

“Stop it”

“Put a sock in it”

“In fact, if I’m correct about whose Tweets these are I think I have already done so on Twitter when I’ve seen this person getting too close to attacking cancer patients”

“Still, as utterly insensitive and “dickish” as those Tweets were, they do not represent the majority of skeptics, but rather a few jerks”

“However, we as skeptics need to remember that a few jerks perceived (or painted) as attacking cancer patients can do immeasurable damage to the cause of science-based medicine”

“So if you’re one of those skeptics making comments like that, knock it off”

“If I see you doing it again, next time I will call you out publicly”
======================================

======================================
[4] – 6/3/2013 – “Then, there was the kicker”

“Eric Merola and Laura Hymas’ fiancé Ben Hymas called me a liar”

“Ben Hymas is quite mistaken in saying about me,”

““He’s lying to them.””

“Moreover, if I had screwed up, I would have admitted it”

“Indeed, part of the reason I looked into this so closely was because I wondered if somehow Merola had actually found a mistake I had made”

“You know the saying about the proverbial blind squirrel occasionally managing to find a nut?”

“It’s possible, albeit unlikely, and in fact there was no mistake”

“There is nothing in deceptive to change my assessment of what happened in the case of or my opinion of Eric Merola”
======================================
[3] – 7/18/2013 – As I said before, Gorski’s research skills leave much to be desired

Gorski is a hack and is only funny by accident because he has no filters

If anything, having seen his “review” of Burzynski II, my opinion of Gorski has plummeted even further, something I had thought possible

Gorski, so you got lucky like a blind squirrel and found an error

However, this does NOT change the fact that you’ve been proven to be a liar

Do you want me to subtract one of your lies from the tally ?
======================================
[30] – 5/9/2013 – “On what basis is he “targeting” his therapy?”

“As I’ve recounted before, Burzynski usually sends off blood and tissue samples to Caris for testing”

“The Caris Target Now™ test, which since my discussion of Burzynski’s “personalized therapy” appears to have been renamed Caris Molecular Intelligence and is now available at more levels of service (although its reports look much the same to me), is nothing unique to the Burzynski Clinic”

“Anyone who is willing to pay for it can have it, and the report will be the same”

“In any event, there is as yet no convincing evidence that the Caris tests (or any of the other competing tests) result in better outcomes”
======================================
[31] – 5/28/2013 – A key pillar of Gorski’s position on Burzynski’s “personalized gene-targeted cancer therapy” is that he alleges that he is “someone relatively knowledgeable about the state of personalized cancer therapy”

I can’t help but wonder why it is that he did NOT know the above information

Maybe he isn’t as knowledgeable about personalized cancer therapy and targeted therapies as he claims

(Oh, wait. He isn’t!)

That’s why when he wrote his “review” on Sheila Herron, he did NOT even refer to Burzynski’s publication:
——————————————————————
[32] – 8/2011 – Successful Treatment of Recurrent Triple-Negative Breast Cancer with Combination of Targeted Therapies

When it comes to Gorski’s “story writing” pal Robert J. “Bob” Blaskiewicz, I might allow for some leeway since he’s only a “Perfessor,” but with Gorski on the other hand, I’m not nearly so benevolent

In my ever-Insolent opinion, he and his propagandist are cynically using patients like human shields to deflect criticism

Activities I cannot countenance
======================================
[33] – 4/19/2013 – “I now think I probably know with around 95% certainty) and Didymus Judas Thomas (whose identity I’m probably about 75% sure of … also obsessively read anything posted about Eric Merola or Stanislaw Burzynski on any social media”
======================================
[34] – 4/19/2013 – Gorski has had over 4 months to say who he thinks I supposedly am, and so far he’s been a failure

But then again, as could be expected, he was wrong about his 2nd theory as well

Finally, I believe that people like Gorski are hypocrites, feeling free to paint Burzynski to their heart’s content (from what I’ve read about Burzynski on blogs, Twitter articles, and elsewhere, posted by biased, disingenuous, “holier than thou” Skeptics, in them Burzynski is all but portrayed as Satan Incarnate) but running like whipped puppies to the Coward section when either they or Gorski are criticized, no matter how civil, reasonable, or science-based that criticism is (and my blog is all of the above)

The reason is, of course, clear

Having no convincing science, no convincing medicine, and no convincing evidence to support their hero’s antineoplastons hackery or “personalized MUD-targeted therapy for dummies,” they resort to Twitter thuggery

Same as it ever was

One more thing:

If Gorski and his crew of sycophants, toadies, and lackeys are offended by my opinion, my characterization of them that I have based on analyses of claims and observation of the behavior of them and their propagandist, they should try something different to shut me up

I have just the thing, too

Publishing the results of some of the responses to my blog for the scientific community comes to mind first

If Gorski really has the goods, as he and “The Skeptics” claim, then he can best shut me up by bringing the science—solid, convincing science, that is

I’ve said it before many times, and I’ll say it again:

I can be convinced by strong truthful and factual evidence

I have yet to see anything resembling strong evidence from Gorski

At least, if he has such evidence he hasn’t published it yet, preferring to publish a mixture of whiny blog articles where he takes a swipe at Burzynski, tiny-mind series, unimpressive basic science, and the like in bottom-feeding blog articles, some of which aren’t even indexed in PubMed

Nor is a conspiracy of cowardice—excuse me, “The Skeptics”—the reason why trying to ignore criticism will boomerang on “The Skeptics”

It’s all because of their own behavior and willingness to distort, misinform, and slime Burzynski
======================================
[35] – 1/14/2013 – “As you might recall, antineoplastons are chemicals that Burzynski found in the urine of cancer patients and that (or so he claims)”
======================================
[36] – 2/19/2013 – Seriously, Gorski ?

Where did you come up with that ?

After comparing the blood of healthy people to the blood of people with cancer, Dr. Burzynski found that people with cancer have lower amounts of a certain group of chemicals
======================================
[35] – 1/14/2013 – “None of this would have been too bad if only he had actually bothered to do the proper science and clinical trials to demonstrate that antineoplastons (1) have significant anti-cancer activity and (2) have acceptable levels of toxicity”
======================================
[10] – 8/8/2013 – Here’s (1)
——————————————————————
[37] – 2/19/2013 – And (2)
======================================
[35] – 1/14/2013 – “Oh, sure, he has a bunch of clinical trials listed on ClinicalTrials.gov, but virtually all of them are listed as having “unknown” status, and it’s unclear whether most, if any, of them are actually accruing”
======================================
[38] – 5/21/2011 – Cancer Breakthrough: 50-60% Success Rate, Cures the Incurable
May 21, 2011
12 phase 2 clinical trials have been successfully completed under supervision of FDA, and now conducting 3 phase 3 clinical trials

Or I can cite from Burzynski’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings re his phase 2 clinical trials like you did
[1] – 6/5/2013
======================================
[35] – 1/14/2013 – “In any case, Merola named the sequel what he named it … along with a website full of a “sourced transcript” to be used by Burzynski minions and shills everywhere to attack any skeptic who dares to speak out”
======================================
[39] – Gorski, you should have used the “sourced transcript” so you didn’t end up embarrassing yourself as much as you have

Actually, no one who is an apologist for Dr. Gorski, a.k.a. “Orac,” who over years ago unleashed MUD-targeted therapy on unsuspecting cancer patients, much likes Burzynski

It’s not surprising

Basically, Gorski’s a hack
——————————————————————
[40] – Or, you can use this – Burzynski: The Movie — Illustrated Screenplay and Screencap Gallery (Nader Library):
======================================
[35] – 1/14/2013 – “Part of the reason that Eric Merola doesn’t like me, aside from the fact that I am willing to help publicize Bob Blaskiewicz’s present to Dr. Burzynski for his 70th birthday on January 23, is that I think that every so often I happen to run into stories about the bad science and unethical nature of Burzynski’s work, and I blog about it”
======================================
[41] – 3/26/2013 – Maybe Eric does NOT like you because part of that “present” was your “pal” saying:

“The Burzynski clinic is a place you go to die”
——————————————————————
[42] – 8/24/2013 – Gorski, where were you when these 374 children died of brain cancer in #ScienceBasedMedicine clinical trials ?
======================================
[35] – 1/14/2013 – “I also run into patient stories”

“Although I don’t cover them as systematically as Bob does, I like to think that what I lack in comprehensiveness of coverage I make up for with my in-depth knowledge of cancer science and treatment”
======================================
[43] – 8/31/2013 – Your “in-depth knowledge of cancer science and treatment” ?

You sure have NOT presented a very strong case for that

Is your “man-crush”, Robert J. “Bob” Blaskiewicz still adding false statements to his “stories” ?
======================================
[35] – 1/14/2013 – “There are a number of things about this documentary that one can learn if one is involved in caner care and knowledgeable about Stanislaw Burzynski”

“Indeed, he’s even taken credit for pioneering the concept of personalized cancer therapy based on genes and the concept that cancer is a genetic disease, claiming to have published a journal article about it 20 years ago, allegedly long before conventional scientists and oncologists even thought of it”

“The problem, of course, is that, as far as I can tell, he published no such paper and personalized therapy is a concept older than 20 years”
======================================
[44] – 7/26/2013 – Indeed, from my perspective Gorski’s an egomaniac, full of the arrogance of ignorance about things like Burzynski’s “personalized cancer therapy”, prone to contemptuously dismissing anyone who has the temerity to question the Great and Powerful “Orac” is god

Because I was able to find the publication with NO problem

“Orac’s” Oracolytes remind me of the “believer” who said:

“god said it, and I believe it, so that settles it”

Of course, “Orac” is Oz tends to clam up when questioned by people who are NOT likely to be sycophants, toadies, and lackeys
======================================
[35] – 1/14/2013 – “Given that these are all phase II studies, it’s hard to believe that the FDA would allow Burzynski to keep them open over 13 years, but apparently it has”
======================================
[45] – 7/26/2013 – Gorski, why don’t you ask the FDA?

3/29/1996 Then United States Food and Drug Administration Commissioner, David Kessler told the American people:

“The … FDA’s initiatives … will allow …the agency … to rely on smaller trials … fewer patients … if there is evidence … of partial response in clinical trials”

======================================
[35] – 1/14/2013 – “Finally, why doesn’t Burzynski offer Seán his “personalized gene-targeted cancer therapy.””

“It probably wouldn’t be that big a deal to get the blocks of tissue from Seán’s biopsy and have them analyzed”

“Yes, inquiring minds do want to know”
======================================
[35] – 1/14/2013 – Gorski, why don’t you cite the applicable phase 2 and / or phase 3 clinical trial publications of FDA approved drugs for “inoperable brainstem glioma” ?

And while your at it, is the “girl from England” referred to in your article, the same one that is referred to in Burzynski 2 ?
======================================
[47] – 1/7/2013 – “That’s why I’m joining P.Z. Myers in asking you to help make Stanislaw Burzynski pay cold hard cash to a worthy cause
======================================
[41] – 3/26/2013 – Yes Gorski, your “pal” E.Z. P.Z. who wrote:

“The Burzynski clinic is a place you go to die”

He has no shame

But at least ya’ll raised money for a worthy cause while at the same time bringing attention to yourself and what I consider to be your incredibly unethical behavior
======================================
[23] – 12/13/2012 – “In fact, from my perspective, it appears to me as though over the last few years Dr. Burzynski has pivoted”

“No longer are antineoplastons the center of attention at his clinic”

“Rather, these days, he appears to be selling something that he calls “personalized gene-targeted cancer therapy.””
======================================
[48] – 4/26/2013 – Gorski it’s great to see you’ve been paying attention

” … 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”
======================================
[23] – 12/13/2012 – “Finally, around the 4:30 mark, we see Dr. Gregory Burzynski, Dr. Burzynski’s son, talking about genomic profiling of cancers and biomarkers in the blood and in circulating tumor cells. … plus a claim that surgery will no longer be necessary for surgery, what’s left over doesn’t sound too different from what quite a few “conventional” cancer researchers say about “personalized medicine.””
======================================
[23] – 12/13/2012 – Gorski, “surgery will no longer be necessary for surgery” ?

Is this “attention to detail”” related to:

“because of the positions I hold at an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center” ?
======================================
[23] – 12/13/2012 – “Clearly, the producer went to great lengths to make Burzynski’s lab look like any other molecular and cell biology lab–even like my lab”
======================================
[23] – 12/13/2012 – Gorski, are you trying to suggest that the producer rented or bought equipment to produce this look ?

Do you know how ridiculous that sounds ?
======================================
[23] – 12/13/2012 – “When we do this we have a very good chance to have positive results in most patients”

“SS: How many respond?”

“SB: About 85 per cent for whom we have the proper gene signature; about 15 percent do not respond”

“In our responders many of them have tumors which disappear completely and in others the tumors remain small”

“The problem is finding the genetic signature because for many of these different genetic signatures we don’t have blood tests…yet”

“Note that at the time this book was published, Dr. Burzynski was claiming that he could identify who would benefit from specific targeted therapies simply from blood tests”

“If he could do this for real, Burzynski could easily publish in high impact journals like Clinical Cancer Research, the Journal of Clinical Oncology, or another high impact clinical cancer journal”

“Heck, a result like that could probably make it into general medical journals, such as the New England Journal of Medicine or The Lancet, which have an even higher impact factor”

“If he were able to demonstrate that his method of testing tumors and picking targeted therapy could result in a complete response rate anywhere near 85% for breast cancer, even more so”

“If, as he claims later in the chapter, Dr. Burzynski has patients with pancreatic cancer and advanced liver cancer whose tumors have disappeared within two months after he began treatment, the same would be true”

“If, as Burzynski claims, he achieves a 50% complete response rate in advanced brain tumors, again, the same would be true”

“He doesn’t submit his results to these journals”

“Why not?”
======================================
[3] – 7/18/2013 – Gorski, why would Burzynski want to publish in The Lancet when you saw the lame excuse they gave in Burzynski 2 for NOT publishing Burzynski’s results; which YOU have refused to address ?

Maybe you could find out if you visited the Burzynski Clinic

Oh, wait

You’ve said that people do NOT need to go to the Clinic to learn things
======================================
[23] – 12/13/2012 – “Gene-targeted cancer therapy is currently in its infancy and, except in rare situations outside of the existing currently validated biomarkers (such as HER2, ER, c-kit, and other genes for which targeted therapies exist) for the response of specific cancers, is not to be undertaken outside of the context of a clinical trial“
======================================
[23] – 12/13/2012 – Gorski, that’s all well and good for you to write, but you provide NO citation, reference, or link in support of your statement, and you’ve proven that what you post can NOT be trusted

Try again
======================================
[23] – 12/13/2012 – “Before discussing how the Burzynski Clinic does personalized cancer therapy, I think it’s worth looking at how real scientists do it right now”
======================================
[23] – 12/13/2012 – Gorski, what are you implying ?

That Burzynski is NOT a “real scientist” ?

Because you stated:

“From the description above, it sounded very much to me as though Dr. Burzynski is combining various targeted agents with metronomic chemotherapy“

“I know a thing or two about metronomic chemotherapy, because I was involved in a project whose end result was to be the testing of metronomic chemotherapy against cancer and because the concept is a spinoff of the work of one of my scientific heros, the late Judah Folkman”

“Whether this is what Dr. Burzynski is doing or not with the chemotherapy part of his approach, I don’t know for sure, but it sure sounds like it“
======================================
[23] – 12/13/2012 – “Now let’s take a look at how the Burzynski Clinic does it, at least as far as I can figure out from my various sources and from Ms. Trimble”

“In response to my query about personalized gene-targeted therapy offered by the Burzynski Clinic, Ms. Trimble stated that a gene expression analysis is performed, as well as mutational analysis, FISH, immunohistochemistry for selected genes and that a blood test is also performed to measure the “concentration of proteins which are products of most important oncogenes.””

“In addition, drugs are supposedly selected based on the patient’s clinical information, standard of care, FDA indication, data from phase II and III clinical trials“
======================================
[4] – 6/3/2013 – Gee Gorski

In your 6/3/2013 article you act as if you did NOT know this
======================================
[23] – 12/13/2012 – “To support this claim, Ms. Trimble also sent me two papers from the Burzynski Clinic, both of which appeared in a journal I had never heard of before, the Journal of Cancer Therapy, which is clearly not indexed on PubMed because these papers never showed up when I searched PubMed for Burzynski”

“One described Burzynski’s approach for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC)”
======================================
[32] – 8/2011 – Gorski, why am I NOT surprised that you’re able to refer to this TNBC publication 12/13/2012, but when reviewing Sheila Herron’s TNBC case 5/28/2013, you completely ignored this publication, even though it specifically states:

“Here we report the successful treatment of metastatic TNBC with combination targeted therapy, and we discuss MDT for a group of 16 women including this patient, whose treatment was based on the same principle” (Pgs. 372-373)

How do you NOT provide a link to a previous article you wrote on the same subject, like you normally do ?
======================================
[23] – 12/13/2012 – “It turns out that perhaps the best description of what “personalized” treatment means in Dr. Burzynski’s hands comes from the Texas Medical Board’s complaint against him, which can be found in over at the Ministry of Truth or at Casewatch”

“This complaint is based on the cases of two patients”

“First, here’s Patient A, who is described in the complaint thusly:”

“1. Patient A:”

“a. In approximately May of 2008, Patient A presented to Respondent with breast cancer that had metastasized to her brain, lung, and liver”

“b. Respondent prescribed a combination of five immunotherapy agents – phenylbutyrate, erlotinib, dasatinib, vorinostat, and sorafenib-which are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the treatment of breast cancer, and which do not meet the FDA’s regulations for the use of off-label drugs in breast cancer therapy”

“c. In combination with the five immunotherapy agents, Patient A was prescribed capecitabine, a chemotherapy agent”

“This is what’s known as “throwing everything but the kitchen sink” at the tumor without any thought of interactions, as most of these agents have no proven role in the treatment of breast cancer”

“For example, erlotinib (brand name: Tarceva) is used to treat pancreatic cancer and non-small cell lung cancer”

“It works by inhibiting the tyrosine kinase of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and is not FDA-approved for breast cancer”

“However, it’s not unreasonable to think that it could work in breast cancer, as EGFR is believed to be important in some breast cancers, which is why this is an area of active research”

“Dasatinib (trade name: Sprycel) is also a kinase inhibitor”

“It inhibits the Src family tyrosine kinase”

“Vorinostat is a histone deacetylase inhibitor approved for use against cutaneous T-cell lymphoma”

“Finally, Sorafenib is another tyrosine kinase inhibitor that inhibits the tyrosine kinases of different receptors, as well as raf kinases”

“The big problem with this sort of approach is that the more drugs you add, no matter how “targeted” they are, the more chance for interactions that increase toxicity, and throwing all these kinase inhibitors together in a cocktail with chemotherapy is a recipe for disaster, particularly because such cocktails haven’t been tested in proper phase I clinical trials to evaluate toxicity”
======================================
Gorski, you make it sound like you reviewed the medical literature and found NO phase I clinical trials were conducted, or NO combinations of some of these drugs were tested

But you do NOT reveal your research

I’m guessing you reviewed these pre 5/2008 publications, right ?
——————————————————————

======================================
[23] – 12/13/2012 – “In any case, as we have seen, Dr. Burzynski does give chemotherapy”

“Lots of chemotherapy”
======================================
[23] – 12/13/2012 – Gorski, what was the date of the video you quoted above, about low-dose chemotherapy ?
======================================
[23] – 12/13/2012 – “Instead, skirting the line between science and pseudoscience, Dr. Burzynski gives every appearance of recklessly throwing together untested combinations of targeted agents willy-nilly to see if any of them stick but without having a systematic plan to determine when or if he has successfully matched therapy to genetic abnormality”
======================================
[15] – 5/17/2011 – That sure explains away the review of the medical literature (phase 2 and 3 clinical trials)

NOT
======================================
[55] – 12/12/2012 – “Note: Orac is away In the meantime, he is rerunning some of his favorite posts”

“Given that the blog seems to have been infiltrated with Burzynski trolls again now seems a perfect time to rerun a post of Orac’s from about a year ago”
======================================
[55] – 12/12/2012 – “Orac”, who’s the
idiot who posted that “trolls” had taken over the blog, and who were these “alleged” “trolls” ?

Inquiring minds want to know
======================================
[55] – 12/12/2012 – “No one would ever confuse my reviews with those of Roger Ebert (mine tend to be a lot longer, for one thing, and concentrate on science much more than moviemaking), but I do sometimes subject myself to these movies when I can find a way to watch them online that doesn’t cost me any money”
======================================
[55] – 12/12/2012 – Gorski

“Concentrate on science” ?

really ?

Really ??

REALLY ???

Did you actually count how many characters and / or words you devoted to criticism instead of “science” ?
======================================
[55] – 12/12/2012 – “In the process, I might even look into a couple of Burzynski’s studies that I’ve read and found to be–well–lacking, to put it kindly”
======================================
[2] – 8/4/2013 – Gorski, why don’t you “look into” Burzynski’s 2003-2010 preliminary phase 2 clinical trial reports, and write a “review” ?
======================================
[55] – 12/12/2012 – “One part of the movie that truly insults the intelligence of anyone with a modicum of knowledge about drug therapy occurs near the beginning of the movie”

“It’s a part that, as a cancer surgeon who is interested in targeted therapies for breast cancer, I found particularly idiotic”

“First, there is a screen with this caption:”

“Antineoplastons target the specific genes that allow cancer to grow and flourish”

“A little later we see:”

“There are currently over 25 FDA-approved gene-targeted cancer drugs on the market today”

“Many of them can only target single genes”

“All of which is true but irrelevant if Burzynski is trying to sell antineoplastons as targeted therapy”

“Now here’s the kicker:”

“Antineoplastons work on close to one hundred different genes”

“You know what you call a drug that works on “close to 100 genes”?”

“I don’t know either, but you don’t call it a “targeted” therapy unless all those genes are genes affected by the single target being inhibited; i.e., are downstream targets of the gene targeted by antineoplastons”
======================================
[5] – 8/21/2013 – Gorski, how do you NOT know “the single target being inhibited … are downstream targets of the gene targeted by antineoplastons”, when you did NOT even know which of Burzynski’s publications discussed which genes are “targeted by antineoplastons” ?
======================================
[56] – 12/5/2012 – “In reality, oncologists shun Burzynski—and rightly so, given that he has yet to publish anything resembling a convincing result suggesting the efficacy of his antineoplastons against cancer”

“It’s painfully obvious from this paragraph that Burzynski doesn’t know academic oncologists”

“The reason oncologists don’t respect Burzynski is because of how he hasn’t show that his treatments work better than conventional treatments—or even that they work at all—and because of the way he abuses patients by charging them huge sums of money to participate in a clinical trial”

“Those are the reasons legitimate oncologists, at least those familiar with Burzynski, look askance at him”

“How could they do otherwise?”

“The ones who don’t take him seriously are the ones who know him best”
======================================
[57] – 4/24/2013 – Gorski, that certainly explains why this 2011 cancer study that references Burzynski:

Phase II trial of tipifarnib and radiation in children with newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas

University of California—San Francisco

Children’s Hospital Boston, Massachusetts

St Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Memphis, Tennessee

Seattle Children’s Hospital, Seattle, Washington

======================================
“… because Gorski and others do NOT seem to understand how antineoplastons (ANP) A10 (Atengenal) and AS2-1 (Astugenal) work, I provide the relevant Burzynski publications and page #’s for them to review:
——————————————————————
It’s not like The Skeptics are going to help Gorski since they usually post inane comments that frequently go off topic on his Respectful Insolence blog
——————————————————————
Gorski, here’s:
——————————————————————
“the scientific rationale … to expect that (antineoplastons) might have antitumor activity”
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �
[1] 7/1971 Phenylacetic acid as potential therapeutic agent for treatment of HUMAN CANCER
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �
[2] 1976 Medium-sized peptides isolated from normal humans urine were tested for effect on DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis, and mitosis, in tissue culture of human myeloblastic leukemia, osteosarcoma, and HeLa cells
——————————————————————
active peptides produce up to 97% inhibition of DNA synthesis and mitosis in neoplastic cells in tissue culture
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �
[3] 1990 AS2-1 (AS)
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �
2 / 14.5% – Complete Remission
——————————————————————
3 / 21%- Partial Remission
——————————————————————
7 / 50%- Stabilization of disease with objective improvement
——————————————————————
2 / 14.5% – Progression
——————————————————————
1st patient enrolled in Complete Remission 17 months and off treatment 16 months
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �
[4] 4/1/1992 PHENYLACETATE-novel nontoxic inducer of TUMOR CELL differentiation
——————————————————————
Sodium PHENYLACETATE found to affect growth and differentiation of TUMOR CELLS in vitro at concentrations achieved in humans with no significant adverse effects
——————————————————————
Treatment of promyelocytic leukemia III.-60 cells resulted in rapid decline of myc oncogene expression followed by growth arrest and granulocyte differentiation
——————————————————————
results indicate PHENYLACETATE is effective in inducing tumor cell maturation and free of cytotoxic and carcinogenic effects, a combination that warrants attention to potential use in CANCER intervention
——————————————————————
Conclusions:
——————————————————————
Sodium PHENYLACETATE is investigational new drug approved for human use by U.S. Food and Drug Administration
——————————————————————
drug already established as safe and effective in treatment of hyperammonemia (2-4); we propose use may be extended to CANCER preventation and therapy
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �
[5] 9/15/1992 results suggest PHENYLACETATE, used alone or in combination with other drugs, might offer safe and effective new approach to treatment of some hematopoietic neoplasms and severe hemoglobinopathies
——————————————————————
NaPA, which has an unpleasant odor, can be substituted by its pro-drug, sodium PHENYLBUTYRATE (NaPB), for oral administration
——————————————————————
Upon ingestion by humans, PHENYLBUTYRATE undergoes @-oxidation to PHENYLACETATE
——————————————————————
Both NaPA and NaPB already proved safe for the treatment of infants and adults
——————————————————————
It seems important therefore to further evaluate the clinical relevance of our experimental data
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �
[6] 5/1993 nontoxic differentiation inducer, sodium PHENYLACETATE (NaPA)
——————————————————————
in vitro antineoplastic activity was observed with drug concentrations that have been achieved in humans with no significant toxicities, suggesting PA, used alone or in combination with other antitumor agents, warrants evaluation in treatment of advanced prostatic CANCER
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �
[7] 2/1994 sodium PHENYLACETATE can induce cytostasis and reversal of MALIGNANT properties of cultured HUMAN GLIOBLASTOMA CELLS, when used at pharmacological concentrations that are well tolerated by children and adults
——————————————————————
Systemic treatment of rats bearing intracranial GLIOMAS resulted in SIGNIFICANT TUMOR SUPPRESSION with no apparent toxicity to host
——————————————————————
data indicate PHENYLACETATE, acting through inhibition of protein prenylation and other mechanisms, may offer safe and effective novel approach to treatment of MALIGNANT GLIOMAS and perhaps other neoplasms as well
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �
[8] 4/1/1994 Phenylacetate has recently been shown to suppress TUMOR growth and promote differentiation in experimental models
——————————————————————

[16] 9/27/1995 (7/17/2006) Alterations in expression of ras oncogenes are characteristic of wide variety of human neoplasms
——————————————————————
Accumulating evidence has linked elevated ras expression with disease progression and FAILURE of TUMORS to RESPOND to CONVENTIONAL THERAPIES, including radiotherapy and certain chemotherapies
——————————————————————
observations led us to investigate response of ras-transformed cells to differentiation-inducer PHENYLACETATE (PA)
——————————————————————
Using gene transfer models, we show PA caused cytostasis in ras-transformed mesenchymal cells, associated with increased expression of 2′,5′-oligoadenylate synthetase, an enzyme implicated in negative growth control
——————————————————————
PA also induced phenotypic reversion characterized by loss of anchorage-independent growth, reduced invasiveness and increased expression of collagen alpha type I, a marker of cell differentiation
——————————————————————
ANTI-TUMOR ACTIVITY of PA was observed in cases involving either Ha- or Ki-ras and was independent of mode of oncogene activation
——————————————————————
Interestingly, in contrast to their relative resistance to radiation and doxorubicin, ras-transformed cells were significantly more sensitive to PA than their parental cells
——————————————————————
profound changes in TUMOR CELL and molecular biology were associated with reduced isoprenylation of ras-encoded p21
——————————————————————
Our results indicate PA CAN SUPPRESS GROWTH of ras-transformed cells, resistant otherwise to free-radical based therapies, through interference with p21ras isoprenylation, critical to signal transduction and maintenance of MALIGNANT phenotype

results identify PHENYLACETATE and analogs as new class of aromatic fatty acids capable of activating hPPAR, and suggest nuclear receptor may mediate TUMOR cytostasis induced by these drugs
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �
[24] 9/1996 We examined hypothesis this postulate may not apply to evaluation of drugs such as PHENYLACETATE, a differentiating agent endowed with mechanisms of action different from those of classic cytotoxic chemotherapy

[26] 1996 Cytotoxic chemotherapies often give rise to multidrug resistance, which remains major problem in CANCER management
————————————————————
In pursuit of alternative treatments for chemoresistant TUMOR CELLS, we tested response of multidrug-resistant (MDR) TUMOR CELL lines to aromatic fatty acids PHENYLACETATE (PA) and PHENYLBUTYRATE (PB), 2 differentiation inducers currently in clinical trials
————————————————————
Both compounds induced cytostasis and maturation of multidrug-resistant BREAST, OVARIAN, and COLON CARCINOMA CELLS with no significant effect on cell viability
————————————————————
MDR cells generally more sensitive to GROWTH ARREST by PA and PB than parental counterparts
————————————————————
PA and PB potentiated the cytotoxic activity of doxorubicin against MDR cells

ability to induce TUMOR differentiation in laboratory models and low clinical toxicity profile makes them promising candidates for COMBINATION with CONVENTIONAL THERAPIES
————————————————————
In present studies, we characterized interactions between aromatic fatty acids and radiation, using as a model cell lines derived from CANCERS of PROSTATE, BREAST, BRAIN and COLON
————————————————————
in vitro findings identify aromatic fatty acids PA and PB as new class of non-toxic modulators of radiation response, antagonistic effect of these compounds on radiation response needs further examination

Antineoplaston caused down-regulation of PKCalpha protein expression, resulting in INHIBITION of ERK MAPK phosphorylation, with resultant INHIBITION of Rb phosphorylation leading to G(1) arrest
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �
[44] 10/1/2010 As degradation product of Antineoplaston A10 in vivo, PHENYLACETYL GLUTAMINE showed ANTITUMOR ACTIVITIES
——————————————————————
Designed and radiosynthesized PHENYLACETYL GLUTAMINE derivative, achieved under mild reaction condition
——————————————————————
radiochemical purity of (S)-2-((S)-2-(4-(3-fluoropropyl)benzamido)-3-phenylpropanamido)pentanedioic acid ([18F]FBPPA) was 98%, and best radiochemical yield was up to 46%
——————————————————————
results revealed it might become potential PET imaging agent for DETECTING TUMORS

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 “fact 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. 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”
I have already previously addressed the issue of publication re comments made by Mr. Ogon, before you made your most recent comment concerning the same subject.
Please see my reply to him.
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 “ PRELIMINARY DATA,” and NOT waiting until phase 3 study which would “gather more information about safety and EFFECTIVENESS”?

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”

“Clinical Trial Endpoints for the Approval of Cancer Drugs and Biologics”
“”STABLE DISEASE should not be a component of ORR”

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 … ”

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 “fact checking.”)”
You then go on to comment:
“(2) it’s essentially the same group in both”

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:
“In 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:
“Watergate only involved a handful of people and it was busted almost immediately,” since President Nixon is credited with starting the “War 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 “pal”
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:
“Against 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.

Let’s review some of the “disinformation,” “misinformation,” and “misdirection” posted by #Burzynski critics, shall we ?

Darren Woodward

by what measure are antineoplastines non-toxic, certainly medically they are toxic, much as the proponents pretend that they aren’t
March 4 at 6:14pm

FAIL – provides no citation(s), reference(s), or link(s) to support “toxic” statement

Robert Blaskiewicz

ANP is toxic as anything! It gives people insanely high sodium, and Burzynski is currently not allowed to be dispensed by Burzynski because, according to a patient, it killed someone. This is not harmless stuff. This is not non-toxic. And most of Burzynski’s patients never qualify for his trials. That’s the lure. They all end up taking tons of chemo used off label

One of the people who voted in this poll was threatened by someone who was hired by Burzynski. It was covered in the international press. That’s not in the infomercial, is it?

If they were non-toxic and actually treated cancer, maybe. Presenting a propaganda film that only shows one very distorted side of the story isn’t discussion

I think Burzynski has proved multiple times over that his $*&% doesn’t work and he is not running a legitimate trial

Adam Jacobs

Your question is completely unrelated to the infomercial you are going to broadcast. Burzynski absolutely does not research “non-toxic” treatments. Mostly, he uses conventional chemotherapy, but in a rather amateurish way, using unproven combinations of drugs. The treatment that has made him famous, antineoplastons, is highly toxic and has been known to kill people. BTW, did you know that he’s recently removed all mention of antineoplastons from his website, and that there are rumours that he has stopped using antineoplastons for any new patients?

Paul Morgan

Antineoplaston chemotherapy – despite the claims of Burzynski and his shills – are far from being non-toxic. They contain vast quantities of sodium, which results in patients having to ingest vast quantities of water to counteract the overpowering thirst generated by taking in so much sodium. Some patients have become grossly hypernatraemic (high serum sodium), others profoundly hypokalaemic (low serum potassium). Others have developed renal failure. All these TOXIC SIDE EFFECTS are extremely hazardous and life-threatening. If you consider antineoplastons to be non-toxic, you are seriously deluded. If you think antineoplastons are not chemotherapy, you are also wrong. Burzynski even referred to antineoplastons as chemotherapy in the 1994 trial that resulted in him being convicted of fraud. As for his “gene-targeted” therapy, firstly Burzynski is simply using a cocktail of chemotherapy drugs in a random and haphazard manner with no thoughts as to the potential interactions and unpredictable toxicity of his mix of chemotherapy drugs. As for being “gene-targeted”, his approach could be described as “gene-targeted” in the same way as the military regard carpet bombing as being a precision strike

William M. London

Colorado Public Television plans to “present in order to evoke conversation.” But presenting Burzynski’s anti-cancer fantasies (especially without sufficient opportunity for experts to offer rebuttals) in order to evoke conversation is about as warranted as presenting a flat-earth promoter in order to evoke conversation about the cosmos. Colorado Public Television functions as an infomercial broadcast service for false medical prophets (who profit from Colorado Public Television’s irresponsibility). Is any health scheme too sensational, too preposterous, and too reckless to be featured on Colorado Public Television? Apparently not. Defunding is deserved

David James

do I feel that you should just promote the Burzyński clinic with no actual evidence of effectiveness for the treatments offered, then no! Why you haven’t even got an independent oncologist on the show is completely beyond me. You run the risk of genuinely endangering people’s lives by exposing them to unproven and ridiculously expensive treatment modalities

Obviously believes that individuals are not capable of making decisions for themselves

I refer to:

legislation called the “Access to Medical Treatment Act”

The proposed bill specifies that an individual can be treated with any medical treatment the individual desires, if:

1) the practitioner agrees to treat that individual; and

2) the administration of such treatment does not violate state licensing laws

In response to consumer protection concerns raised by opponents of the bill, proponents, such as Widener University Law Professor Michael Cohen, argue that,

“[T]he bill permits only treatments provided by legally authorized providers and that do not unreasonably and significantly alter patient health

It incorporates informed consent requirements…and also prohibits false or misleading labeling and forbids commercial advertising” [43]

The hearings held in the Senate involving the bill involved many of the major players in the Burzynski case

Among those testifying were Shawn and Desiree McConnell, of Fountain Hills, AZ, the parents of 7-year-old Zachary McConnell, a patient who was given permission by the FDA to intially use antineoplastons, only to find the drug “yanked away” months later [44]

[44] Zachary originally qualified for a “compassionate exemption” due to the seriousness of his brain tumor, but the FDA rescinded the exemption shortly thereafter

In a prepared statement, Mr. McConnell made a passionate and compelling case for the bill:

“I realize that my son’s treatment is “controversial” because of things that have nothing to do with the medicine’s abilities, but with lawyers and rules which govern the WAY a drug is approved

That is irrelevant, because to seek curative measures on their own should be encouraged

But current FDA law looks upon us all as desperate minions too stupid or confused to think for ourselves…”
