David H. Gorski, M.D., Ph.D., F.A.C.S., is a racist and a natural born killer
That’s right !
Dr. Gorski hates #cancer
He’s a bigot when it comes to breast cancer
Gorski sleeps, breathes, and blogs about breast cancer

SBM exists to take a skeptical, science-based view of medicine in general and in particular the infiltration of pseudoscientific practices into medicine, even in academic medical centers
These entities must have felt lucky to add a University of Michigan alum to their toolbox, a wolverine; a creature also known as a glutton or skunk bear
Who would doubt that Gorski would be a glutton for punishment when it comes to raising a big stink about breast cancer issues ?
Surely he was aware: Detroit, Michigan; the most populous city in the state of Michigan, with a population of 701,475 (2012) (9,883,360 – Michigan), 575,321 (81.4%) being African American (Black); a little less than six times the national average (82.7% – 2010 / about 83% – 2012) (Michigan – 14.2% – 2010), 369,616 Females (52.7% – 2012 / 53% – 2010) (Michigan 50.9%)
No doubt he knew that the most recent American Cancer Society Cancer Facts & Figures, noted:
——————————————————————
• Studies have documented unequal receipt of prompt, high-quality treatment for African American women compared to white women
• African Americans more likely to be diagnosed at later stage of disease when treatment choices are more limited and less effective
• African Americans and other racial minorities are underrepresented in clinical trials, which makes it more difficult to assess efficacy of cancer therapies among different racial/ethnic groups
• African Americans have highest death rate and shortest survival of any racial and ethnic group in US for most cancers
• Life expectancy lower for African Americans than whites among women (77.2 vs. 80.9 years)
• Higher death rate in African American women compared to white women occurs despite lower cancer incidence rate
• Racial difference in overall cancer death rates is due largely to cancers of the breast and colorectum in women
• African American women have higher death rates overall and for breast and several other cancer sites
• African Americans continue to have lower 5-year survival overall:
69% – whites
60% – African Americans
and for each stage of diagnosis for most cancer sites
• Evidence aggressive tumor characteristics more common in African American than white women
——————————————————————
Gorski worked tirelessly to address the problem, by appearing on TV, radio, Internet radio, in articles and on his blogs
Soon, the locals were remarking about the “Gorski Patient Group” web-site which was set up to display anecdotal stories of breast cancer patients who were “cured” by Gorski
How has his hard work paid off ?

The problem, is that, when the Hippocratic Oath
was mentioned, Gorski may have opted for the Hypocrite Oath
Rather than address the BILLIONS of dollars in fines which Big Pharma racked up, and Pharma’s seeming dedication to getting members of the unwitting public, to take medications for symptoms which they were not approved for; and thus possibly experience adverse effects those drugs cause, Gorski chose to NOT comment about his goose that might lay the golden (parachute) nest egg
Instead, he tried the Tricky-Dicky trickle-down theory of Hackademic Mudicine (“Quackademic Medicine”); which did NOT work when Richard Milhous (“War on Cancer”) Nixon was told:
“There’s a cancer on the Presidency”
What Gorski seems hilariously oblivious to, is that his opprobrium; to turn a phrase, applies to him:
——————————————————————
(.3:16)
——————————————————————
When he mentions:
“ineffective and potentially harmful medical practices that were not, that are not supported by evidence”
he may as well be saying, in regards to surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation:
“ineffective and potentially harmful medical practices that were, that are supported by evidence“
(the evidence that they do NOT work for everyone)
——————————————————————
(.3:42)
——————————————————————
To use his own words, he seems:
“confused, at best”
——————————————————————
(.4:45)
——————————————————————
He also displays:
“an animosity toward reason”
——————————————————————
(.4:49)
——————————————————————
“Nothing’s changed within 30 years
If anything, it’s worse”
——————————————————————
(.6:45)
——————————————————————
He states:
“Alternative = unproved”
There goes “Alternative Rock,” or the “alternative” to an attempted Gorski joke: “happiness is a warm gun”
I’m somewhat surprised that Gorski has yet to classify antineoplastons as “Homeopathy: Ultra-diluted chemotherapy”
——————————————————————
(28:15)
——————————————————————
But he does rant that rival Cleveland Clinic where he had his residency, has been infiltrated by the Q.M.
——————————————————————
(39:10)
——————————————————————
And that his alma-mater, the University of Michigan has also queued in the “Quackademic” line
——————————————————————
(44:00)
——————————————————————
He bemoans the mighty wolverine:
“Again my alma-mater”
“I hang my head in shame”
——————————————————————
(44:10)
——————————————————————
And to add injury to insult, his “former employer,” UMDNJ (University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey)-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, New Brunswick, New Jersey, has also been bitten by the Quackademic Duck
I’m sure Gorski will be able to formulate a usual factoid #fail for his #failure to “cure” cancer, vis-a-vis “Orac”, the literary Hack, braying in the wilderness and awaiting his Red Badge of Courage
Maybe “too many people copulating” in Detroit, or too many Louisiana hurricane Katrina survivors added to the sandbox
Is Gorski a racist ?
That’s up to all the African American women in Detroit, Michigan, to decide
Maybe he’s just a really bad hypocrite
NOr, maybe he needs to spend less time on the “hypocuresy,” and more time on the “CURE”
Maybe the African American women of Detroit, Michigan, and the United States of America should ask Gorski:
What have you done for me lately ?
——————————————————————
——————————————————————
“And, make no mistake about it, antineoplastons (ANPs) are chemotherapy, no matter how much Burzynski tries to claim otherwise”
——————————————————————
NO, Gorski, the United States’ 5th Circuit Court of Appeals claimed that antineoplastons (ANPs) are:
“…an unapproved drug, not ordinary “chemotherapy”
no matter how much YOU try to claim otherwise
What are you ?
A Saul Green closet communist who does NOT believe what the United States’ Federal Courts rule ?
——————————————————————
——————————————————————
“Indeed, it was a blatant ploy, as Burzynski’s lawyer, Richard Jaffe, acknowledged, referring to one of his clinical trials as a “joke” and the others as a way to make sure there was a constant supply of new cancer patients to the Burzynski Clinic“
——————————————————————
——————————————————————
” … 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“
“As a result of the expansion of Dr. Burzynski’s medical practice, the financial condition of the medical practice has improved Dr. Burzynski’s ability to fund the Company’s operations”

Local:
invasive cancer confined entirely to organ
Regional:
malignant cancer
1) extended beyond limits of organ of origin directly into surrounding organs or tissues
2) involves regional lymph nodes by way of lymphatic system
3) has both regional extension and involvement of regional lymph nodes
Distant:
cancer spread to parts of body remote from primary tumor either by direct extension or by discontinuous metastasis to distant organs, tissues, or via lymphatic system to distant lymph nodes
