Slightly OT for this thread, but the other day I was finally able to make myself watch “Hannah’s Anecdote””

“I’m afraid I couldn’t really discern any adequate sterile field & I have NEVER heard of these kinds of lines being inserted while the patient is only mildly sedated“

Critiquing: Eric Merola and Stanislaw Burzynski respond to the FDA findings and the USA TODAY story. Hilarity ensues

Posted on November 21, 2013 by didymusjudasthomas

20131122-162057.jpg
GorskiGeek starts off his soapbox stump speech:
——————————————————————
“I was very pleased last Friday, very pleased indeed”
——————————————————————
Of course he was

After all, it was as if USA TODAY was quoting directly from “The Skeptics™” fave Fahrvergnügen pharyngula and GorskGeeks’s jacked July jabberwocky at “The Amazing Meeting” 2013 (TAM 2013 #TAM2013) Twitter Twaddle-fest

Given the normal subject matter of this blog, in which I face a seemingly unrelenting infiltration of pseudononsense pseudononscience and hackery into even the most hallowed halls of hacademic medicine, against which I seem to be fighting a mostly uphill battle, having an opportunity to see such an excellent non-deconstruction of science and medicine in a large bad mainstream news outlet like USA TODAY, GONE TOMORROW is rare and ungratifying

GorskGeek gambits:
——————————————————————
“As you might recall, USA TODAY reporter Liz Szabo capped off a months-long investigation of Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski and his Burzynski Clinic with an excellent (and surprisingly long and detailed) report, complete with sidebars explaining why cancer experts don’t think that Burzysnki’s anecdotes are compelling evidence that his treatment, antineoplastons, has significant anticancer activity and a human interest story about patients whom Burzynski took to the cleaners”
——————————————————————
My question ?

GorskGeek, how do you know it was a:

“months-long investigation” ?

20131121-193922.jpg

20131121-193942.jpg
The article does NOT indicate HOW LONG the USA TODAY “investigation” took

From this, I can only conclude, as I did after 1st reading the article, that based on the comments of Dr. David H. Gorski “Orac”, that there must have been collusion between “The Skeptics™” and USA TODAY

Most of this, of course, is no news to my readers, as I’ve been writing about Dr. Burzynski on a fairly regular basis for over 8 months now
——————————————————————
GorskGeek goofs:
——————————————————————
“It’s just amazing to see it all boiled down into three articles and ten short videos in the way that Szabo and USA TODAY did, to be read by millions, instead of the thousands who read this blog“
——————————————————————
Thousands read his blog ?

Does he mean over the 2 year period he’s been writing about Burzynski ?

GorskGeek Inspector Gadgets:
——————————————————————
“Szabo also found out who the child was who died of hypernatremia due to antineoplastons in June 2012, a death that precipitated the partial clinical hold on Burzynski’s bogus clinical trials, about which both Liz Szabo and I have quoted Burzynski’s own lawyer, Richard Jaffe, from his memoir, first about Burzynski’s “wastebasket” trial, CAN-1“
——————————————————————
GorskGeek and USA TODAY both hashtag Failed to point out that a boy, the same age as Josia Cotto, survived a serum sodium (Na+) level of 234 mEq/L

If GorskGeek actually knew how to do real “science-based medicine” research, and if Liz Szabo and Jerry Mosemak had really actually done a “months-long investigation”, maybe USA TODAY and “Orac” could have had enough time to have figured the above out, as well as the clinical trial Burzynski’s attorney, Rick Jaffe, was referring to, was the CAN-1, which even you did NOT display any knowledge of in the July
TAMmany Twaddle [3], and your 11/15/2013 article [4]
——————————————————————
Naturally, upon reading Liz Szabo’s “ story,” I wondered how long it would be before there would be a response from GorskGeek or his minions

Both responses contain the same sorts of tropes, misinformation, and pseudononscience that I’ve come to expect from GorskGeek [1-2+4]

USA TODAY is biased and in the pocket of “The Skeptics™”

It was a “Shite Muslim Militia” piece
——————————————————————
GorskGeek dreamsicles:
——————————————————————
“I’ve deconstructed these, and many more, of Merola’s nonsense over the last two years”

20131122-160735.jpg
“Odd how @BurzynskiMovie pretends I haven’t deconstructed his “evidence” in depth before”?

Really ?

GorskGeek is so much a monumental myopic Mythomaniac

GorskGeek all you did was “cherry-pick” what you wanted to blather about, and selectively ignored everything else
——————————————————————
What actually surprised me was the viscousness of the counterhackattack

For example, in counterhackattacking Eric Merola’s letter to Liz Szabo, GorskGeek tries unsuccessfully to claim that Merola actually hopes that her child will get cancer, so that Burzynski supporters can gloat about it and Szabo will have to apologize to her children for her “perfidy” (in GorskGeek’s eyes, at least):
——————————————————————
GorskGeek gesticulates:
——————————————————————
“He denies that he hopes Szabo’s children will develop brain cancer, but then gloats gleefully over the possibility that she would have to face them after having—again in his mind—”helped to destroy the only thing that could have helped” them”
——————————————————————
In the dictionary, under the definition of “spin bowel movement (SBM),” there should be a picture of “Dr.” (and I use that term very “loosely”) David Gorski

GorskGeek would have fit in holistically as the propagandist for Hitler, Lenin, Mussolini, Pol Pot, Stalin, etc.

Then, just when I thought GorskGeek couldn’t go any lower, he does, this time in his longer response on his blog
——————————————————————
“Eric Merola and Stanislaw Burzynski respond to the FDA findings and the USA TODAY story. Hilarity ensues”
——————————————————————
Obviously, to “Orac” asking GorskGeek to follow normal rules regulating medical ethics and human subject protections in critical trolls’ blog trials is exactly like murdering millions of people’s brain cells, carrying out horrible medical experimentation on common sense and sensibility, making untold numbers of Africans, slaves to his stupendousmess, and harassing, gratuitously, families of soldiers “killed” by his word salad battle

Didn’t anyone ever teach GorskGeek that you need to build up to that sort of climax ?

Of course, the big difference between Hitler’s propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels, unfortunately, is that compared to “Orac,” he had talent, and David GorskGeek does NOT

GorskGeek is a hack and is only funny by accident because he has no filters that tell him when he’s going way under the top

To him, Burzynski is an infidel

I do not share his belief, but, even worse, I have the temerity to criticize his god “Orac,” or, to mix metaphors shamelessly, to point out that GorskGeek has no clothes

Since I’ve dealt with so many of the tropes included in GorskGeek’s not-so-little rant, I hardly see the need to repeat myself

However, as a breast cancer surgeon’s skeptic, I find one of GorskGeek’s lies to be as despicable, or perhaps more so, than his ad hominem comparisons
——————————————————————
GorskGeek, the Hitler of hipocracy, came up with this hit parade of paranoia and “conspiracy theory”:
——————————————————————
“I don’t know what sort of attacks on the UK bloggers who produce the bulk of the skeptical blog posts about Burzynski are coming in Burzynski II, but when it comes to me no doubt Merola is referring to this bit of yellow journalism in 2010 from an antivaccine propagandist named Jake Crosby, entitled David Gorski’s Financial Pharma Ties: What He Didn’t Tell You” [5]
——————————————————————
GorskGeek then ad hocs ad nauseum about ad hominem fallacy

“In this fallacy, rather than addressing the actual evidence and science that demonstrate their favorite brand of woo to be nothing more than fairy dust, the idea is to preemptively attack and discredit the person“

“The ad hominem is not just insults or concluding that someone is ignorant because, well, they say ignorant things and make stupid arguments (in which case calling someone stupid or ignorant might just be drawing a valid, albeit impolitic, conclusion from observations of that person’s behavior), but rather arguing or insinuating that you shouldn’t accept someone’s arguments not because their arguments are weak but because they have this personal characteristic or that or belong to this group or that“ [6]
——————————————————————
GorskGeek, the huckster of hackery laments that “The Skeptics™” are subject to character assassination, NOT because of their “science-based medicine”, but, alas, for being biased, lying, cowards

So, he must justify that as to why he then ad hominems those who he harangues:
——————————————————————
“In Burzynski The Movie, Dr. Whitaker has his nose embedded so far up Dr. Burzynski’s rectum that Dr. Burzynski wouldn’t need a colonoscopy if Merola just strapped a light to Dr. Whitaker’s face“ [7]
——————————————————————

20131123-144212.jpg
——————————————————————
“In the meantime, I realized that seeing Josh Duhamel stick his proboscis firmly up Burzynski’s posterior was not enough to explain the disturbance that I was feeling“ [8]
——————————————————————

20131123-154326.jpg
——————————————————————
GorskiGeek seems to have an unhealthy infatuation with ASS

My suppositorsition is that GorskiGeek, the highfalutin’ He-Man of hypocrisy, does wax on, wax off, waxes phonetic about ASS, because he is the apex of ASSmuchness
——————————————————————
In essence, he denies the toxicity of water in terms I’ve never seen anyone try to downplay before:

Water… is toxic?

This was perhaps the most stunningly malicious use of emotion to manipulate the reader in any of the propaganda pieces against H2O in history
——————————————————————
GorskGeek claims:
——————————————————————
“Josia, as readers of Liz Szabo’s report will know, was the six year old boy with an inoperable brain tumor who died of hypernatremia (elevated sodium levels in the blood) as a result of Burzynski’s therapy“
——————————————————————
GorskGeek gassticulates:
——————————————————————
“As I pointed out last Friday and Szabo reported in her story, before his death Josia’s serum sodium was measured at 205 mEq/L, way above the normal range of 136-145 mEq/L and well into the lethal range”

“As I pointed out then, I’ve never seen a sodium level anywhere near that high“

“During my residency, the highest I recall ever seeing was maybe around 180 mEq/L”
——————————————————————
As I already pointed out previously in this article:

GorskGeek and USA TODAY both hashtag Failed to point out that a boy, the same age as Josia Cotto, survived a serum sodium (Na+) level of 234 mEq/L

GorskGeek claims that Josia died of hypernatremia (elevated sodium levels in the blood) as a result of Burzynski’s therapy

GorskGeek does NOT provide ANY citation(s), reference(s), and / or link(s) in support of his claim, and does NOT provide a copy of the autopsy

GorskGeek’s brain cells must be “sleeping in excess”, hence the symptoms of lethargy progressing ignorance of adverse events which approach critical black hole levels

Of course, none of this is new information
——————————————————————
GorskGeek hacks:
——————————————————————
“I also note that one of Burzynski’s most famous patients, Hannah Bradley, who with her partner Pete Cohen proclaims herself cured of her brain cancer, thanks to Burzynski, suffered some pretty serious toxicities from antineoplastons herself, including high fevers to 103.9° F, shaking chills, and severe rashes“

“Pete even documented how badly Hannah reacted to antineoplastons in his YouTube documentary Hannah’s Anecdote”
——————————————————————
GorskGeek flummoxes in that he erred to elucidate that the “rash” which Hannah
experienced, even entailed epilepsy anti-seizure medication [4]

GorskGeek gambols the gabroni gambit by giving nothing but glib reasons for his genetically challenged gestation of Hannah’s vlogs after gears up for Great Britain

Yes, GorskGeek is gabless about Hannah’s progress in the G.B. as a germinating gerbil, as far as flu or fever, perhaps fearing his failure to feature any fact-checking facilitation a fanboy of Fanectdotes should fittingly fictionalize
——————————————————————
The rest of GorskGeek’s rant reads like a greatest hits compilation from cancer hacks

You get the picture

That’s the whack-n-hack counterhackfensive trying to shore up Liz Szabo’s sorry article
——————————————————————
GorskGeek blowshard and long about the FDA Form 483′s findings, but does NOT heed his massive failure to be persuaded that:

“In Burzynski’s defense, Jaffe notes that inspection reports represent preliminary findings“

“The FDA has not yet issued final conclusions”
——————————————————————
Who would doubt that if GorskGeek were to blog about Burzynski’s 1997 criminal trial, that he would NOT list each and every one of the 34 counts of mail fraud, 40 counts of violating Food and Drug Administration regulations, and the 1 contempt-of-court charge; all “allegations”, which netted the U.S. Gubment absolutely NOTHING ? [9]
——————————————————————
GorskGeek idolizes the Burzynski Research Institute (BRI) IRB, because of Burzynski’s scientific publications, which indicate:
——————————————————————
2003 – Membership of the Institutional Review Board (IRB) was in agreement with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) [10]
——————————————————————
3/2004 – Membership of the Institutional Review Board (IRB) was in agreement with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) [10]
——————————————————————
9/2004 – Membership of the Institutional Review Board (IRB) was in agreement with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) [10]
——————————————————————
2004 – Membership of Institutional Review Board (IRB) was in compliance with FDA guidelines [10]
——————————————————————
6/2005 – Membership of the Institutional Review Board (IRB) was in agreement with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) [10]
——————————————————————
GorskGeek then does a piss-poor “slight of hand job”, jerking the reader off about Pseudoprogression, pseudoresponse, so-called pseudoprogression, and “One phenomena, termed Pseudo-Progression (psPD)”

GorskGeek falls flat face first for failing to show this phenomenon has factually happened [11]

GorskiGeek, looks like back to the drawerin’ board for you !

Critiquing: Stanislaw Burzynski in USA Today: Abuse of clinical trials and patients versus the ineffectiveness of the FDA and Texas Medical Board (Josia Cotto)

David H. Gorski, M.D., Ph.D., FACS “Check My Facts” Hack “Orac”, finally ends his 11/15/2013 diatribe of Dr. Burzynski by USA TODAY’s Liz Szabo, Michael Stravato, Jerry Mosemak, and Robert Hanashiro, with:
——————————————————————
“The concluding section of the story tells us why we need to try:”

“No one told Josia’s parents about any of this”

“Not Burzynski”

“Not the FDA”

“Jose and Niasia Cotto had no idea that their son’s death prompted an investigation by the FDA, until they were contacted by USA TODAY”

“The Cottos had long believed that Burzynski could have cured their son if only they had taken Josia to see him first, before giving him radiation and chemotherapy”

“They had even hoped to launch a non-profit, A Life for Josia Foundation, to help other children with cancer gain access to Burzynski’s treatment“

“Now, they don’t know what to think”
——————————————————————
So what good did Gorski do here, if any ?

1. He offers no opinion as to if he thinks Burzynski should have been responsible for advising Jose and Niasia Cotto that Josia Cotto’s death prompted an investigation by the FDA

2. He offers no opinion as to if he thinks the FDA should have been responsible for advising Jose and Niasia Cotto that Josia Cotto’s death prompted an investigation

3. He offers no opinion as to if he thinks Burzynski could have cured Jose and Niasia Cotto’s son, Josia Cotto’s if only they had been able to take Josia to Burzynski first

4. He offers no opinion as to what he thinks about the FDA requiring Josia Cotto to receive radiation and chemotherapy, and them failing Josia, before he was able to utilize antineoplaston therapy

Gorski might as well NOT even be here if all he’s going to do is repost the same thing USA TODAY published, yet “say” absolutely NOTHING

Personally, I think it’s has to do with what was said during the July TAM 2013 twaddle, when the female panelist made a comment about “people without BALLS”
——————————————————————
Since I have mine, here’s what I think:

1. If there was a moral or legal duty to advise Jose and Niasia Cotto that the passing of Josia prompted an investigation by the FDA, then it was the FDA’s responsibility

2. I think that if the FDA was NOT requiring patients like Josia Cotto to 1st be failed by conventional treatments like surgery, radiation, and / or chemotherapy, there is a chance that Burzynski’s antineoplaston therapy could be more effective because of:
======================================
What USA TODAY, Liz Szabo, Michael Stravato, Jerry Mosemak, and Robert Hanashiro DID NOT TELL YOU ABOUT:
——————————————————————
12/2002 Burzynski interview [3]
——————————————————————
INTRAVENOUS
——————————————————————
1. Treatment require strong commitment from patients as must be infused with Antineoplastons for many weeks or months ?
——————————————————————
2. Perhaps 15% of patients taking intravenous infusions of Antineoplastons
——————————————————————
3. Patients who have most advanced type of cancer will require heavy dosages
——————————————————————
4. When give large dosages intravenously, have to watch fluid balance…and electrolyte balance
——————————————————————
5. Intravenous infusion can deliver equivalent of 3,000 tablets a day
——————————————————————
ORAL – CAPSULES OR TABLETS
——————————————————————
1. Most patients taking oral formulations
——————————————————————
2. Capsules or tablets
——————————————————————
3. Limitation of how much medicine can take by mouth
——————————————————————
4. 50 or 60 tablets a day pretty much all you can take by mouth
——————————————————————
5. When give orally, see practically no side effects at all
——————————————————————
6. Patients may develop skin rash, which may last for day or two
——————————————————————
7. Don’t see any delayed toxicity once treatment stops
——————————————————————
8. Everything practically goes back to normal within day or two
——————————————————————
9. Doesn’t even come close to adverse reactions that experience with chemotherapy
——————————————————————
FDA requirements
——————————————————————
1. Most patients who come to us have received prior heavy radiation therapy, or chemotherapy
——————————————————————
2. Usually die from complications from these treatments
——————————————————————
3. Those who survive longest are patients who previously did not receive radiation therapy or chemotherapy
——————————————————————
4. Longest survivor in this category is now reaching 15 years from time of diagnosis; and she’s in perfect health
——————————————————————
12/10/1997 [4]
——————————————————————
1. In addition to original family of Antineoplaston compounds

(the “Parental Generation”)
——————————————————————
2. Development of 2nd generation of Antineoplastons

In cell culture experiments 2nd generation Antineoplastons developed have been shown to be at least

Thousand times more potent then
Parental Generation
——————————————————————
3. 3rd generation structurally altered Antineoplaston believe will exhibit markedly improved anticancer activity in human cancer cell lines resistant to
Parental Generation

—————————————————————
12/2000 Egypt antineoplaston study [5]
——————————————————————
4 new piperidinedione A10 analogs synthesized and tested on human breast cancer cell line against prototype A10 and anti cancer drug tamoxifen and DNA binding capacity of compounds evaluated against A10
——————————————————————
“3B” and “3D” were several-fold more potent antiproliferative agents than A10 and tamoxifen and had significantly higher capacity to bind DNA than A10
—————————————————————
10/1/2001 Egypt antineoplaston study [5]
——————————————————————
Structural characterization of new antineoplaston (ANP) representatives
——————————————————————
Combination heat with pH modification had virtually no effect on obtained peaks, attesting to stability and purity of compounds
——————————————————————
One had superior affinity to DNA than
prototype ANP-A10

======================================
So, what do we know from this interview with Burzynski from over a decade ago, his 12/10/1997 Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing and the antineoplaston research from Egypt ?
——————————————————————
1. Oral (capsule and tablets): PRACTICALLY NO SIDE EFFECTS at all
——————————————————————
2. Those who survive longest are patients who previously did NOT receive radiation therapy or chemotherapy
——————————————————————
3. 2nd generation of Antineoplastons have been shown to be at least a THOUSAND TIMES MORE POTENT then Parental Generation
——————————————————————
4. 3rd generation structurally altered Antineoplaston believe will exhibit markedly improved anticancer activity in human cancer cell lines resistant to Parental Generation
——————————————————————
5. The research from Egypt shows promising results for binding to DNA
——————————————————————
I doubt Dr. Gorski will be blogging about the above, anytime soon, as it

DOES NOT FIT HIS NARRATIVE
======================================
2000 – Thomas Navarro [3]
——————————————————————
What happened to Donna and Jim Navarro when they chose Burzynski’s treatment over orthodox treatments ?
——————————————————————
4 year old Thomas Navarro diagnosed with medulloblastoma
——————————————————————
Operated on
——————————————————————
Tumor removed
——————————————————————
Scheduled for radiation therapy
——————————————————————
Parents knew he’d be damaged by radiation therapy
——————————————————————
Nobody his age survives this type of tumor anyway after radiation therapy
——————————————————————
Why they decided to go to Burzynski Clinic
——————————————————————
Could NOT treat him because FDA requires failure of radiation therapy for such patients
——————————————————————
Parents decided NOT to take any treatment
——————————————————————
Burzynski asked FDA several times to allow administration of Antineoplastons, because already had successful treatments for some other children without any prior radiation
——————————————————————
5/2001 – developed numerous tumors
——————————————————————
Burzynski suggested to parents they should go for at least chemotherapy
——————————————————————
Went for chemotherapy to one of best centers in the country, Beth Israel Hospital in New York
——————————————————————
Chemotherapy was successful, but he almost died from it
——————————————————————
Severly affected his bone marrow
——————————————————————
Phone call from Thomas’s father telling Burzynski doctors thinking they won’t do anything else for him and Thomas will die within a week because of severe suppression of bone marrow
——————————————————————
Burzynski encouraged father to do whatever possible because such patients may turn around
——————————————————————
He turned around
——————————————————————
About month or two later developed 15 tumors in brain and spinal cord
——————————————————————
When close to death, nothing available, FDA called and allowed Burzynski to treat Thomas
——————————————————————
Treated Thomas
——————————————————————
Survived 6 months
——————————————————————
Tumors had substantially decreased
——————————————————————
11/2001 – ultimately died from pneumonia
——————————————————————
Perhaps professor and chairman of oncology at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, Jan Buckner, professor and head of the division of bioethics at NYU Langone Medical Center, Arthur Caplan, chair of the Children’s Oncology Group, an NCI-supported research network that conducts clinical trials in pediatric cancer, pediatric oncologist and professor of pediatrics and pharmacology at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Peter Adamson, David H. Gorski, M.D., Ph.D., FACS, a/k/a GorskGeek, and “Orac”, ALL think that the 15 tumors Thomas Navarro had in his brain and spinal cord, which had substantially decreased under Burzynski’s antineoplaston therapy, were because of Pseudoprogression a/k/a Pseudo-Progression (psPD) and / or pseudoresponse, caused by
chemotherapy ?

Is this what they mean by:

“In reality, the tumor was just returning to its previous size” ?
======================================
Dustin Kunnari [3]
——————————————————————
At 2 ½ years old, Dustin Kunnari had brain surgery
——————————————————————
Surgery removed only 75% of tumor
——————————————————————
Dustin’s parents, Mariann and Jack, were told Dustin would only live 6 months
——————————————————————
Chemotherapy and radiation may extend life slightly, but at very high cost in quality of life with very serious side effects
——————————————————————
Mariann and Jack decided to look into alternatives
——————————————————————
Found out about Antineoplastons
——————————————————————
After only 6 weeks of intravenous treatment, MRI showed he was cancer free
——————————————————————
One year later another tumor appeared on MRI
——————————————————————
By this time Dr. Burzynski had developed more concentrated form of Antineoplastons
——————————————————————
After 5 months tumor was gone
——————————————————————
remained cancer free ever since
——————————————————————
Age 7 – taken off Antineoplastons
——————————————————————
To further complicate matters, oncologist kept threatening parents with a court proceeding to take Dustin away and force him to take Chemotherapy/Radiation treatment
——————————————————————
This continued for a year, even after success with Antineoplastons
——————————————————————
Age 12 at time of 12/2002 interview
——————————————————————
Perhaps professor and chairman of oncology at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, Jan Buckner, professor and head of the division of bioethics at NYU Langone Medical Center, Arthur Caplan, chair of the Children’s Oncology Group, an NCI-supported research network that conducts clinical trials in pediatric cancer, pediatric oncologist and professor of pediatrics and pharmacology at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Peter Adamson, David H. Gorski, M.D., Ph.D., FACS, a/k/a GorskGeek, and “Orac”, ALL think that the tumor David Kunnari had, which disappeared under Burzynski’s antineoplaston therapy, were because of Pseudoprogression a/k/a Pseudo-Progression (psPD) and / or pseudoresponse, caused by
surgery ?

Is this what they mean by:

“In reality, the tumor was just returning to its previous size” ?
======================================
Paul Leverett [3]
——————————————————————
5/1999 – diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme grade 4 brain stem tumor
——————————————————————
Prognosis was would probably be dead before end of 1999
——————————————————————
Orthodox medicine gave him no hope of survival
——————————————————————
Given maximum amount of radiation was capable of receiving
——————————————————————
Slowed tumors growth slightly, but didn’t alter prospects for survival at all
——————————————————————
After research on Internet learned about Dr. Burzynski’s Antineoplastons
——————————————————————
9/1999 – began taking Antineoplastons intravenously, administered by wife Jennie
——————————————————————
After 6 weeks tumor had grown by only 2 %, Glioblastoma’s normally double in size every 2 weeks
——————————————————————
12/2000 – PET scan confirmed complete remission
——————————————————————
Stayed on Antineoplastonsuntil 8/2001 to ensure tumor wouldn’t reoccur
——————————————————————
Just under 20% tumor necrosis remaining in brain stem, which is probably scar tissue
——————————————————————
Oncologist (at MD Anderson, Houston) initially wanted to show scan’s to his hospitals (MD Anderson) tumor review board
——————————————————————
for whaever reason, refused further contact and didn’t go ahead with it
——————————————————————
Perhaps professor and chairman of oncology at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, Jan Buckner, professor and head of the division of bioethics at NYU Langone Medical Center, Arthur Caplan, chair of the Children’s Oncology Group, an NCI-supported research network that conducts clinical trials in pediatric cancer, pediatric oncologist and professor of pediatrics and pharmacology at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Peter Adamson, David H. Gorski, M.D., Ph.D., FACS, a/k/a GorskGeek, and “Orac”, ALL think that the glioblastoma multiforme grade 4 brain stem tumor Paul Leverett had, which disappeared under Burzynski’s antineoplaston therapy, were because of Pseudoprogression a/k/a Pseudo-Progression (psPD) and / or pseudoresponse, caused by radiation ?

Is this what they mean by:

“In reality, the tumor was just returning to its previous size” ?
======================================
Crystin Schiff [3]
—————————————————————–
Ric and Paula Schiff about torture their daughter Crystin had to endure during chemotherapy/radiation treatment
—————————————————————–
Diagnosed with perhaps most malignant tumor known, rhabdoid tumor of the brain
—————————————————————–
Historically, there was no case of such a tumor ever having long response to chemotherapy or radiation therapy
—————————————————————–
Received extremely heavy doses of radiation therapy and chemotherapy, because nobody expected she would live longer than year or so
—————————————————————–
Was terribly damaged with this
—————————————————————–
Responded very well to Antineoplastons
—————————————————————–
Complete response
——————————————————————
Died from pneumonia
——————————————————————
Immune system was wiped out, so when she aspirated some food, she died from it
—————————————————————–
Autopsy revealed didn’t have any sign of malignancy
—————————————————————–
Particularly despicable story, because when Ric Schiff asked Dr. Michael Prados, then head of neuro-oncology at University of California at San Francisco Medical Center (UCSF), if he knew of any other treatment besides chemotherapy/radiation for Crystin’s
brain tumor, Prados replied in the negative

But a few years before, he had sent you 14 letters documenting effectiveness of Antineoplastons on Jeff Keller, another patient with brain cancer

Is this true?

Yes, Jeff Keller had extremely malignant brain tumor

had high-grade glioma of the brain; failed radiation therapy and additional treatments

responded extremely well to our treatment

was one of patients whose case was presented to NCI

there was no doubt about his response

Dr. Prados knew about it

If he was dealing with hopeless tumor like Crystin Schiff, why didn’t he call us?

Do you know why Prados did not tell them about Keller’s success with your treatment?

It’s hard for me to tell

It happens that Dr. Prados and Dr. Friedman, who became boss of FDA, came from same medical school

they work closely together, and perhaps there is something to do with general action against us

It would be inconvenient for Dr. Prados to say that treatment works if FDA was trying to get rid of us and when his friend was Commissioner of FDA at that time

Perhaps that’s the connection….

Critiquing: Stanislaw Burzynski in USA Today: Abuse of clinical trials and patients versus the ineffectiveness of the FDA and Texas Medical Board (swell inflammation phenomenon)

Posted on November 20, 2013 by didymusjudasthomas

20131116-002912.jpg
Liz Szabo’s USA TODAY “killer cancer” article as interpreted by “Orac” made 3 claims [0]:
——————————————————————
“Conventional cancer treatment can also cause tumors to swell temporarily,” [1]

“due to”

“inflammation,” [2]

“A patient who isn’t familiar with this”

“phenomenon” [3]

“may assume her tumor is growing”
——————————————————————
The issue with citing these 3 studies is that each then needs to be reviewed to determine if they have any relevance to the patients Burzynski has treated in the phase II clinical trials:
——————————————————————
[1] – 12/2009 – Pseudoprogression and pseudoresponse in the treatment of gliomas
——————————————————————
1. Has Burzynski treated patients with gliomas, brain tumours, or recurrent glioblastoma ?
——————————————————————
2. Has Burzynski’s patients been treated with combined chemo-irradiation with temozolomide which may induce in 20-30% ?
——————————————————————
[2] – 5/2008 – Clinical features, mechanisms, and management of pseudoprogression in malignant gliomas
——————————————————————
1. Has Burzynski treated patients with glioblastoma ?
——————————————————————
2. Have any of Burzynski’s patients been treated with temozolomide chemoradiotherapy ?
——————————————————————
3. so-called pseudoprogression
can occur in up to 20% of patients
——————————————————————
4. can explain about 1/2 of 20%
——————————————————————
[3] – In support of this “phenomenon”, the article provides a link to a Canadian web-site which
posits:
——————————————————————
“RT/TMZ is now widely practiced and the standard of care for appropriately selected patients, we are learning more about the consequences of RT/TMZ”

“One phenomena, termed Pseudo-Progression (psPD)…”
——————————————————————
The problem is that this only applies to “Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM)”, and the article provides NO proof whatsoever, that any of Burzynski’s “Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM)” patients have taken “RT/TMZ”
——————————————————————
Additionally, the site cites the reference as:

Sanghera, Perry, Sahgal, et al., “Sunnybrook Health Sciences Odette Cancer Centre” (in press, Canadian Journal of Neuroscience)

(“In press” refers to journal articles which have been accepted for publication, but have not yet been published)

However, the journal article in question was published 1/2010, so it has NOT been “in press” for over 3 years and 7 months [4]
——————————————————————
GorskGeek stupidly suppositories:
——————————————————————
“It’s very heartening to see a story like this in a major news outlet, and I must congratulate Ms. Szabo for her thorough deconstruction of the phenomenon that is Stanislaw Burzynski“
——————————————————————
GorskGeek, just because a great portion of Liz Szabo’s USA TODAY article quoted verbatim from The Skeptics™ play book, does
NOT mean she was anymore successful at “deconstructing” Burzynski [5], anymore than you have NOT
——————————————————————
GorskGeek then regurgitates:
——————————————————————
“Remember how I said that Bob Blaskiewicz will want your help?”

“Now’s the time to contact him, if you haven’t already”
——————————————————————
GorskGeek, Bob Blaskiewicz needs “HELP” in the same manner as you need “HELP”, because, as I have proved, you both act like compulsive liars

Critiquing: Stanislaw Burzynski in USA Today: Abuse of clinical trials and patients versus the ineffectiveness of the FDA and Texas Medical Board (Hyperactivity versus Hypernatremia, and Hannah Bradley)

Posted on November 19, 2013 by didymusjudasthomas

I’ve made no secret of how much I dispute David H. Gorski, a la “Orac”, the “self-proclaimed” brain cancer doctor and brain cancer researcher who has been treating readers with an unproven, unapproved, NOT ordinary chemotherapeutic agent since Jesus just left Chicago, bound for Nawlins, seemingly Elaphe longissima slithering around, under, over, and past all attempts to intestate him and shut him up

Along the way, GorskGeek has become a hero to the cancer hackery industry, touted as the man who can cure incurable insomnia that science-based medicine can’t, even though his treatment, insolence, allegedly pop tarts isolated from bloopers and Uranus that normally keep insomnia in check in healthy people, are by any reasonable definition NOT ordinary chemotherapy

Indeed, they are toxic, with a number of side effects reported, the most common and dangerous of which being life-threatening hyperactivity (elevated sugar levels in the blood)

All you have to do is to type GorsGeek’s name into the search box of this blog, and you’ll find copious documentation of the abuses of patience, science, and critical trials perpetrated by “Orac” and the cult of impersonality that has evolved around him

He’s even acquired his very own film perpougendist, a credulous fellow named Bob Blaskiewicz, who has made 2 astoundingly bad hackumentaries that are nothing more than unabashed hagiographies of the brave maverick doctor curing insolence where no one else can

They’re chock full of misinformation, pseudononsense, spin, and obvious emotional manipulation, and the 2nd one, at least, was very popular

For the longest time, I’ve been hoping that major mainstream news organizations would take this story on
——————————————————————
GorskGeek claims:

“Now, thanks to Liz Szabo at USA Today, we know from her article Doctor accused of selling false hope to families [1]:

“Yet hypernatremia is one of antineoplastons’ most common side effects, known to doctors for two decades”
——————————————————————
GorskGeek, of course, does NOT care to mention the 2 hypernatremia studies that I listed in the 2nd of my 3 critiques on USA TODAY’s “hatchet job” of Burzynski [2], because, as he accuses others:

THEY DO NOT FIT HIS NARRATIVE
——————————————————————
GorskGeek continues:
——————————————————————
“showed a blood sodium level of 205 millimoles per liter, a level that is typically fatal“

“I was astounded to see that number“

“I’ve never, ever seen a sodium level that high“

“Typically, normal is typically between 135 and 145 mEq/L, with slight variations of that range depending on the lab”

“Burzynski’s excuse, which I’ve heard at various times as being due to an “improper blood draw” or as described above, is purest nonsense”

“Unless the technician spiked Josia’s sample with 3% saline or something like that, there’s no way to get the leve that high”

“Josia almost certainly died because of hypernatremia from antineoplaston therapy“

“To me, this is the biggest revelation of the story:”

“The story and identity of the child who was killed by Burzynski’s treatments“
——————————————————————
I did NOT know that GorskGeek was the
Medical Examiner for the United States Food and Drug Administration
——————————————————————
GorskGeek is mistaken, as the “purest nonsense” is his nonsensical claim:

“I’ve never, ever seen a sodium level that high“

The reason GorskGeek has:

“never, ever seen a sodium level that high”

is because he’s a “hack”, who’s more interested in churning out as many blogsplats as he can, rather than doing real “science-based medicine” research

As evidence of MY claim, I submit:
——————————————————————
9/2004 – A Non-Fatal Case of Sodium Toxicity (Hypernatremia)
——————————————————————
“6 year old boy who was taken to the hospital following a seizure attack, and lab analyses revealed a serum sodium (Na+) levels of 234 mEq/L”

“A search of the boy’s house led to the discovery of rock salt in the cabinet and a container of table salt”

“Extrapolating from the serum sodium (Na+) level, it was estimated that the child had ingested approximately 4 tablespoons of rock salt, leading to the acute toxicity“

“A literature search revealed that the serum sodium (Na+) concentration in the present report was the highest documented level of sodium in a living person“

Non-Fatal 193-209 mEq/L have been reported previously [3]
——————————————————————
We also learn that—surprise! surprise!—GorskGeek is an enormous tool

(as opposed to having “an enormous tool” His cranium is too small to have “enormous tool”)
——————————————————————
GorskGeek then hacks:
——————————————————————
“Look at him dismiss his critics, particularly former patients, many of whom, let’s recall, have terminal cancer, many of whom are dead:”

“Burzynski dismisses criticism of his work, referring to his detractors as “hooligans” and “hired assassins.””
——————————————————————
GorskGeek, you are a “hooligan”, liar, lame, loser, et al.
——————————————————————
GorskGeek proceeds:
——————————————————————
“You know, whenever I hear Burzynski fans like Eric Merola accuse skeptics of attacking cancer patients, of accusing them of horrible things”

“I think I will throw this quote right back in their faces”

“Here’s Burzynski calling his patients prostitutes, thieves, and mafia bosses, and “not the greatest people in the world,” while accusing them of wanting to “extort money from us.””
——————————————————————
GorskGeek, LAME attempt at another LIE

Burzynski did NOT CALL his patients what YOU claim he called them

Let me repeat it for YOU, because I have the sneaking suspicion that YOU are “intellectually challenged”

Burzynski SAID:

“We see patients from various walks of life”

“We see great people”

“We see crooks”

“We have prostitutes”

“We have thieves”

“We have mafia bosses”

“We have Secret Service agents”

“Many people are coming to us, OK?”

“Not all of them are the greatest people in the world”
——————————————————————
GorskGeek, just in case you did NOT learn this at the University of Michigan, there is a difference between SAYING “WE SEE” and / or “WE HAVE”, and CALLING someone something

Allow me to provide you with a great example

If I SAY that YOU are the BIGGEST POMPOUS ASS I’ve ever seen, and YOU are NOT a BIG POMPOUS ASS, then THAT is derogatory

However, if I CALL YOU the BIGGEST POMPOUS ASS that I have ever seen, because you really and truly are a BIG POMPOUS ASS; as you are, then THAT is NOT derogatory
——————————————————————
GorskGeek tries again:
——————————————————————
“Not surprisingly, he also liberally uses the Galileo gambit, but that’s not surprising, as he’s repeatedly made the hilariously arrogant and scientifically ignorant claim that he is a pioneer in genomic and personalized cancer therapy and that M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and other world-class cancer centers are “following his lead.””

“Indeed, he claimed to have invented the field 20 years ago”

“Sadly, his publication record does not support such grandiose claims“
——————————————————————
GorskGeek, how would you know ?

You proved that you weren’t smarter than a 5th grader when you could NOT find Burzynski’s 1997 Antineoplastons, oncogenes and cancer [4]
——————————————————————
“Curious as to just what the heck Burzynski was talking about here, I searched PubMed for this alleged review article”

“I couldn’t find it on PubMed“

“Perhaps Burzynski proposed this “revolutionary” new idea in a peer-reviewed article that’s not indexed in PubMed, but if he did I couldn’t find it using Google and Google Scholar“ [5]

20131119-125740.jpg
So why should ANYONE believe that you were able to locate the rest of his publications
and review all of them?

Now THAT would be a “grandiose claim”
——————————————————————
GorskGeek was also the village “idiot savant” (minus the “savant”) who face planted:

“how Burzynski never explains which genes are targeted by antineoplastons … “ [6]

20131119-135126.jpg
GorskGeek must have fumed for days when he found I “fact-checked” his fluff and found it false: [7-8]
——————————————————————
GorskGeek hopes to wreak havoc when he harrumphs:
——————————————————————
“For instance, experts are saying the same things I’ve been saying for a couple of years now about Burzynski’s anecdotes of “miracle cures,” such as Hannah Bradley and Laura Hymas”

“The reasons for these anecdotes include:”

“Burzynski often relies on anecdotes, which don’t tell the full story”

“Burzynski’s therapies are unproven“

“Burzynski’s patients may have been misdiagnosed“

“Burzynski’s patients may have been cured by previous therapy“

“There’s a reason why I’ve spent so much time deconstructing Burzynski anecdotes, and it’s for all of those reasons plus that anecdotes are often interpreted incorrectly by patients without medical training”

“Even doctors who are not oncologists sometimes interpret such anecdotes incorrectly to indicate that the cancer therapy chosen is the therapy that cured the patient“

“It’s not just Burzynski patient anecdotes, but it’s any cancer cure anecdote“

“That’s why clinical trials are necessary to differentiate all these confounding effects from actual effects due to the treatment”
——————————————————————
GorskiGeek displays what an abject #FAIL he is, as the question he should be asking is:

Why is the Food and Drug Administration FORCING patients to #FAIL conventional treatments; such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, before being allowed to utilize antineoplaston therapy ?

If the FDA was NOT doing this, then GorskGeek and the “so-called experts” would NOT have this crutch to fall back on

GorskGeek, please list all the other phase II clinical trials where the F.D.A. has done this, and please also explain what would you do if the FDA did this to YOUR clinical trials ?

I know this might require some “Grapefruits” on your part, but do try and see if you can find yours in order to pull this off, if you’re NOT the coward I think you are

And when you’re done with that, please try to explain away the case of Jessica Ressel-Doeden

20131118-120015.jpg

20131118-120035.jpg
GorskGeek winds up for the pitch of bullshit

He ratchets back his right arm and rockets it right into his rectum, reaches ’round and pulls out this righteousness:
——————————————————————
“Not coincidentally, Hannah Bradley had surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, and Laura Hymas had radiation and chemotherapy”

20131119-150052.jpg
GorskGeek, Hannah Bradley NEVER had chemotherapy, unless you are now going to claim that by “chemotherapy” you meant antineoplastons [9]

Hannah specifically mentioned:

“Chemotherapy also mentioned but not strong enough for that” [10]
——————————————————————
GorskGeek:

“Even doctors who are not oncologists sometimes interpret such anecdotes incorrectly” ?

I think you meant, even breast cancer oncologist specialists who are NOT brain cancer oncology specialists interpret incorrectly, you JackASS

In insolence

Critiquing: Stanislaw Burzynski in USA Today: Abuse of clinical trials and patients versus the ineffectiveness of the FDA and Texas Medical Board (Getting Worse is Getting Better)

—————————————————————–
“Orac” and David H. Gorski, M.D., Ph.D., FACS,
collectively, “GOrac” a/k/a GorskGeek thinks that signs of “Getting Worse is Getting Better” [1]😛

That’s right ! 🙂

I almost couldn’t believe my eyes, but GorskGeek seems to have come around to Burzynski’s way of thinking (according to “Dr.” Bob🙂)

GorskGeek describes it thusly:
—————————————————————–
“Conventional cancer treatment can also cause tumors to swell temporarily, due to inflammation”

“A patient who isn’t familiar with this phenomenon may assume her tumor is growing”

“When that swelling subsides, patients may assume it’s because of Burzynski, Adamson says”

“In reality, the tumor was just returning to its previous size”

“Pseudoprogression can be a real confounder in assessing the response of brain tumors to therapy, being observed up to 28% of the time”
—————————————————————–
Here’s how GorskGeek’s “brother” in blatherskite; I’m NOT a doctor, 😷 (but I play one on The Other Burzynski Patient Group), Robert J. (don’t call me “Bobby”) “Bob” Blaskiewicz Blatherskitewicz, describes it [2] 😝:
—————————————————————–
8/27/2012, Monday [2]

“On the 27th, we hear:”

“Firstly, Amelia hasn’t quite been herself unfortunately”

“She has been very reluctant to walk, a lot more tired, slow and pretty lethargic”

“She was sick on Saturday night also” (8/25/2012)

“We are reasonably confident we have probably gone too far with the steroid reduction so we have actually increased these slightly again today”

“We decided we would rather have a happy and more alert Amelia than one who doesn’t want to do too much – so we made this decision today in coordination with the Burzynski clinic“

“We’ll see how she does”

“There is a small chance it is the tumour growing, but much more likely given the scans we have that this is due to swelling of the tumour caused by the treatment”

“Time will tell. […]”

“The symptoms we are seeing right now are a direct result of the tumour, hopefully due to it swelling, and the steroids will fix this”

“They are also what we would see if it has grown”
—————————————————————–
(Below comments by: I’m NOT a doctor, 😷 (but I play one on The Other Burzynski Patient Group), Bob Blaskiewicz 😜)

And here’s another example of something that is…desperately, desperately wrong at the Clinic 😦

The patient is being told that the tumor is swelling because of the treatment 😳

How is it that only at the Burzynski Clinic that getting worse is indistinguishable from getting better?😡

Second point:

this is a tumor on the brainstem

If a possible side effect were swelling of the thing pressing against the brainstem, you’d expect that to be on the informed consent form, right? 😐

The type of thing that would be among the “serious side effects,” right? 😮
—————————————————————–
So, to recap 😄:
——————————————————————
David H. Gorski

• ( “Getting Worse is Getting Better”) 😃

• “Conventional cancer treatment can also cause tumors to swell temporarily, due to inflammation“
—————————————————————–
Amelia Saunders

• “ . . . but much more likely given the scans we have that this is due to swelling of the tumour caused by the treatment”

• “The symptoms we are seeing right now are a direct result of the tumour, hopefully due to it swelling . . . ”
—————————————————————–
“Dr.” Bob Blaskiewicz (I’m NOT a doctor, 😷 but I play one on The Other Burzynski Patient Group)

• The patient is being told that the tumor is swelling because of the treatment

• How is it that only at the Burzynski Clinic that getting worse is indistinguishable from getting better?

• If a possible side effect were swelling of the thing pressing against the brainstem, you’d expect that to be on the informed consent form, right? “O”
——————————————————————
The problem with this is:

In support of this “phenomenon” , the article provides a link to a Canadian web-site [3] 😶
——————————————————————
The site posits:
——————————————————————
“RT/TMZ is now widely practiced and the standard of care for appropriately selected patients, we are learning more about the consequences of RT/TMZ”

“One phenomena, termed Pseudo-Progression (psPD)…”
——————————————————————
The problem is that this only applies to “Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM)”, and the article provides NO proof whatsoever, that any of Burzynski’s “Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM)” patients have taken “RT/TMZ” 😐
——————————————————————
Additionally, the site cites the reference as:

Sanghera, Perry, Sahgal, et al., “Sunnybrook Health Sciences Odette Cancer Centre” (in press, Canadian Journal of Neuroscience)

(“In press” refers to journal articles which have been accepted for publication, but have not yet been published)

However, the journal article in question was published 1/2010, so it has NOT been “in press” for over 3 years and 7 months [4] 😁

Get your act together, aye, CAN-A-DUH ! 😇

He claims to believe in “science-based medicine”, but he so readily and easily bastardizes the term on his blogs and during his “talk” at The Amazing Meeting (TAM 2013) in July, about Stanislaw Burzynski, MD, PhD [1]: “Why We Fight (Part I): Stanislaw Burzynski Versus Science-Based Medicine” and the “Medical Cranks and Quacks” panel discussion, that it becomes painfully obvious, when Mark Crislip stated [2]:
——————————————————————
(37:00)
——————————————————————
“As a philosophical approach to medicine, I would probably say that 99% of doctors are not science-based“
——————————————————————
and:
——————————————————————
(37:25)
——————————————————————
“This table, is probably pretty much all of the science-based medicine docs in the United States” 😮
——————————————————————
Note: There were only 4 individual’s at the table, and Bob Blaskiewicz is NOT a doctor, he’s a QUACK 😄

The world might indeed need more Mark Crislip™ , but I think it needs some more insolence for “The Skeptics™” 🙂

So, in that spirit, the videos, recently released by the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF), of Bob Blaskiewicz, GorskGeek, and some key SBM players that you’ve come to know and love for their transparency, deserve some of what’s mentioned by Mark Crislip at:
——————————————————————
25:00
——————————————————————
1. Embarrassment 😳
2. Ridicule 😁
3. Education 😐

😉

David Gorski makes the stupendous remark that Burzynski “could treat anyone he wanted” in the clinical trials 😖

How asinine 😝
——————————————————————
(18:20)
——————————————————————
David Gorski then has the temerity to suggest that Miller’s Children at Long Beach Memorial misdiagnosed Tori Moreno’s inoperable stage 4 BSG 😐

David Gorski has the gall to profer that City of Hope misdiagnosed Tori Moreno’s inoperable stage 4 brain stem glioma 😦

David Gorski has the chutzpah to pontificate that Dr. Fred Epstein in New York misdiagnosed Tori Moreno’s inoperable stage IV brainstem glioma 😡

David Gorski; who is a BREAST cancer oncology specialist, and NOT a BRAIN cancer oncology specialist, has the presumptiveness to speculate that 3 different medical opinions could have misdiagnosed Tori Moreno in August 1998; who was diagnosed with a very large tumor, about 3 inches in the largest diameter and located in the brain stem, which was too risky for surgery, and about which her parents were told by ALL 3, that Tori’s brain cancer was fatal and, she would die in a few days or at the most, 2-6 weeks, and that there was nothing that could be done, and was finally put on antineoplaston therapy in October, when she was about 3 ½ months old, and in such condition that they were afraid that she might die at any time, David H. Gorski, M.D., Ph.D., FACS; who claims, “I do know cancer science” [3], has the audacity, because of his “book learnin'” to postulate his “science-based medicine theory”, but he obviously does NOT have the “balls” to name the medical institutions or doctors involved, whose opinions he disagrees with ☻
——————————————————————
(20:00)
——————————————————————
David Gorski; who has had the stupendity to state: “[I]f I had screwed up, I would have admitted it” [4], in the case of Hannah Bradley, who had a grade III anaplastic astrocytoma brain tumor, while noting that Hannah had epileptic seizures, he then serendipitously stupified the not-so-startling but nonetheless shocking revelations that he seemingly had fallen when climbing a tree, and been hit by every “stupid stick” on the way to reinforcing Newton’s Law of Gravity; whilst claiming that he had watched the entire movie about her trip to the Burzynski Clinic, but was inexplicably unable to determine that the reason Hannah experienced a “change in mood” and “double-vision”, was because, as stated in the movie, a nurse said it was because of a new anti-seizure drug she had NOT used before to control her epileptic seizures, and which was most likely responsible for the rash that Hannah developed, which GorskGeek acted clueless about [5] 😛
——————————————————————
If GorskGeek actually knew HOW to apply SCIENCE, he might be somewhat credible 😅

Never let it be said that Mark Crislip can’t match “Orac” in shameless promotion of “Orac’s” shameless stupidity 😜
——————————————————————
The second video is David Gorski’s brother in bulkshit, Bob Blaskiewicz, of Skeptical Humanities and The Other Burzynski Patient Group

It’s entitled, appropriately enough, “Why We Fight (Part II): It’s All About the Patients”

Robert Blaskiewicz is the epitome of a “Medical Crank” 😲

@rjblaskiewicz is “infamous” for talking out of both sides of his mouth 😂

Blatherskitewicz is the “intellectual juggernaut” who during the Google+ Hangout
Burzynski Discussion, 9/28/2013, stated:

“we respect scientific method“ [6]

But if he really does, he certainly does NOT prove it on theotherburzynskipatientgroup which is saturated with so much of his bias, that it’s extremely difficult for one to separate his bullshit from the actual patient
story
, and NO ONE can draw any coherent science-based conclusions from his “stories” because they grossly lack the necessary scientific data, such as:
——————————————————————
1. When were they diagnosed with cancer ?
2. What previous treatment(s) did they have, if any ?
(a) biopsy only
(b) surgery
(c) chemotherapy
(d) radiation
(e) radiotherapy
(f) other
3. How long did they have prior treatment(s), if any ?
4. How long were they on antineoplaston therapy ?
——————————————————————
Don’t forget to pay attention to Bob Blaskiewicz’s plea at the end of his talk to contact him if you’re interested in becoming active, since he needs all the help he can get 😃

Online, just mosey on over to The Other Burzynski Patient Group and contact Bob Blaskiewicz, and ask him why he posted such crap in an attempt to smear Burzynski, NOT based on SCIENCE, but instead on hyperbole 😶

But do NOT forget to remember that Bob is NOT a doctor, he’s a QUACK ☺
