6/7/2013 the Watford Observer published this article By Kathryn Snowdon [1]
“The mother of Luna Petagine has cast doubt on the expensive treatment the family sought in America during the Oxhey girl’s four-year battle with cancer“
—————————————————————— “Expensive treatment,”based on what objective criteria ? [2]
—————————————————————— “BBC Panorama this week aired an investigation into Doctor Stanislaw Burzynski’s cancer clinic in Texas, where hundreds of children – normally terminally ill – go and seek treatment”
“Luna, who was five-years-old when she died last year, was a patient at The Burzynski Clinic after her parents were told the physician could cure their daughter, despite Great Ormond Street Hospital doctors saying little more could be done for her”
—————————————————————— Why the conflicting statements ?
a)“her parents were told the physician could cure their daughter”
b)“The NHS are telling me my daughter’s going to die and this man is telling me that he thinks he can cure her.”
c)“He said he hoped to cure my daughter“
d)“The plan was to try and cure Luna.”
—————————————————————— “Luna’s mother, Lucy Petagine, of Raglan Gardens, said there was no doubt in her mind she was going to send her daughter to Dr Burzynski“
“Mrs Petagine said:”
“Of course I’m going to go with him
If anyone had knocked on my door and said
‘here if you try this it will work’
“then yeah I would have tried it because I was in desperation”
“The NHS are telling me my daughter’s going to die and this man is telling me that he thinks he can cure her.”
“Mrs Petagine added:”
“It was all about hope
He said he hoped to cure my daughter
The plan was to try and cure Luna.”
“In order to finance the treatment, which the family believed could be life-saving, more than £100,000 was raised and in September 2011 they travelled to America”
“However, Mrs Petagine said the treatment at The Burzynski Clinic was actually killing her daughter“
“She added:”
“The treatment was – what was happening – was actually killing Luna because it put this pressure on her brain stem.”
—————————————————————— Why did Mrs Petagine say that “the treatment at The Burzynski Clinic” … “was actually killing Luna” ?
Did someone tell her this, or was this her personal opinion ?
We know from Burzynski’s 3/2004 publication that:
“The reason for 50% Progressive Disease (PD) in studies is long dose-escalation process, which extends to more than a month’s time period, before the optimal dosage is reached” [3]
—————————————————————— “In response to Panorama’s questioning and claims that he was merely selling hope to vulnerable families, Dr Burzynski said:”
“Can you imagine that the US government… they would allow me to be here if I just sell hope?”
——————————————————————
Isn’t every cancer treatment “selling hope to vulnerable families”?
Isn’t every cancer clinical trial “selling hope to vulnerable families” ?
—————————————————————— “The treatment has not been approved by the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA)“
—————————————————————— 12/2008 – Burzynski’s publication advised:
“In 2004 the FDA granted orphan drug designation for antineoplastons A10 and AS2-1 for the treatment of brainstem glioma” [4]
9/2012 – “The FDA granted Orphan Drug designation for Antineoplastons A10 and AS2-1 for the treatment of gliomas, in 2009″ [5]
—————————————————————— “A month into Luna’s therapy, an MRI revealed the tumour had grown, pressing on Luna’s brain stem and causing her breathing problems and facial palsy”
“Mrs Petagine said:”
“They said the tumour’s grown and we were like ‘how could it have grown this quickly, this doesn’t make sense’.”
——————————————————————
What does Mrs Petagine mean when she said:
‘how could it have grown this quickly, this doesn’t make sense’ ?
We know from [3] above, that the tumor is likely to grow before the medicine has reached it’s optimal dosage, and the tumor starts to decrease in size
—————————————————————— “Luna had to be admitted to intensive care in Texas Children’s Hospital“
“Mrs Petagine said:”
“Texas Children’s hate The Burzynski Clinic
“They said they have to clean up all his mess”
“The second you walk in the door they look at your child and they did actually say to us ‘are you a Burzynski family?’”
——————————————————————
If Texas Children’s actually does that with every child patient that comes in the door, that would be a really stupid bias to foist on some unsuspecting parent
—————————————————————— “Luna died in August last year”
——————————————————————
Unfortunately, the article does not tell the reader what happened ?
[1] – 9/19/2013 – “Americans love to fight, traditionally”
“All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle…When you, here, everyone of you, were kids, you all admired the champion marble player, the fastest runner, the toughest boxer, the big league ball players, and the All-American football players”
“Americans love a winner”
“Americans will not tolerate a loser”
– General George S. Patton, Jr., June.5, 1944
The above might as well be Greek to Dr. David H. Gorski a/k/a “Orac”
He’s the epitome of the word “loser”
Indeed, “Orac” described his work-place nemesis as “user hostile”
After 5 years, he still didn’t fully understand much of it, and he claims he’s not exactly computer illiterate
Gorski is that “guy” who couldn’t even find Burzynski’s publication:
[2] – 1997 – Burzynski. S.R. Antineoplastons. oncogenes and cancer
[3] – “Orac” batted the big “O” when he tried to find “the scientific rationale to expect that” antineoplastons “might have antitumor activity”
[4] – Gorski was geniusless when it came to finding “which genes are targeted by antineoplastons,“proving that he really does NOT know Burzynski’s personalized gene-targeted therapy
In fairness, I will point out that he hasn’t put the time in to learn all the ins and outs of the system …
He pontidefecates about phase II clinical trials when his name isn’t even on a phase 2 trial, too
[5] – 9/19/2013 – He’s the “guy” who’s “mystified” as to how Stanislaw Burzynski “has managed to keep practicing for 36 years after he first began treating patients with an unapproved (not ordinary) chemotherapeutic drug (the concoction of peptides purportedly isolated from blood and urine that Burzynski dubbed “antineoplastons” because of their alleged ability to inhibit the growth of cancer)”
This is not an issue unique to Gorski; I’ve discussed other cases like this, such as Bobby Blaskiewicz, who used his man-crush relationship with Gorski to appear on the Skeptic Canary Show; Davey James, who was only recently stripped of his license to practice in several states of mind; Adam Jacobs, who went so far as to use his business influence to alter his Dianthus Mediclueless web-site in London to be more hack friendly, and an interventist who administered twerkpidity to posers who didn’t have common sense and defrauded minions for tens of millions of minutia
It’s a general problem
However, as far as doctors who should have been shut down a long time ago, “Orac” takes the cake
[6] – He has NOT yet figured out that Burzynski learned from the best
[7] – Who could do it better than someone like Dr. Michael A. Friedman, Associate Director, Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP), Division of Cancer Treatment (DCT), National Cancer Institute (NCI), Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health (NIH) who Burzynski had to deal with:
“This is, as you point out, a most serious matter, and I was hoping that you could allay my concerns by showing me where they are unfounded“
“However, your letter conspicuously fails to address them“
“You also make reference to “numerous factual misstatements” but fail to identify any of them, much less provide documentation to show they are false”
Pg. 2
“I am glad that you plan to “thoroughly examine the accusations” I have made”
“I also eagerly await a substantiative response to the points raised in my letter of 4/20/1995”
After all, can we really take a person seriously, who claimed:
—————————————————————— [8] – 11/2/2012 – “Personally, having pored over Burzynski’s publications … “
—————————————————————— [9] – 5/8/2013 – “I’ve searched Burzynski’s publications … “
—————————————————————— [10] – 6/5/2013 – “ … I do know cancer science”
—————————————————————— Uhhhhhhh … yeah
But do you really know Burzynski’s cancer science when you did NOT even know:
“which genes are targeted by antineoplastons“?
Has “GOraCON” (“Orac” + @Gorskon) even read these ?

—————————————————————— Cancer care: Is the system “in crisis” ?
The Institute of Medicine, just in case you’re like “Orac” and have NOT yet figured it out, “the system” has been “in crisis” since the Gubment“forgot”who they are here to serve
[18] – Gorsi, maybe you can explain to The Institute of Medicine why the Cancer care system is “in crisis” because M.D.’s with Ph.D’s who hold positions “at an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center,”are responsible for massive fact-checking #FAILS
