Let’s say you’re one of “The Skeptics,”(“The Burzynski Skeptics,”) don’t have a life (but doesn’t that go without saying?), enjoy associating yourself with known liars, cowards, ethically and intellectually challenged individuals, so you grab a newspaper(It’s doubtful that USA TODAY would qualify), and if you do NOT know what a “Newsie” is, go online and select an article which has a plethora of innuendo and allegations, compose a missive to your member in Congressassembled about the nothingness you just reviewed, just don’t piss yourself silly when you shoot that zinger off, because you’ve just sent something to your Congressperson, exhibiting what a whacky weed tobaccoday tripper you are, and a prime example of what “Rocky Mountain High” really will mean, starting January1st, 2014
Congratulations, Colorado
My only suggestion is that you add something like:
“Dear Congressperson Y,
I know your time is valuable, but please allow me to waste some of you and your staff’s, as well as provide you with “fodder” you can hang up on the bathroom wall and laugh about for days!
In the next weeks I will be contacting you about all of the “conspiracy theories” in Jesse Ventura’s book, including; but not limited to:
Area 51
Aliens The Denver International Airport
…
Smoke ’em if ya got ’em !
======================================
Letter to Congress
Dear CONGRESSPERSON’S NAME:
My name is _______ and I am one of your constituents
I am writing to you to request your urgent attention to a matter that involves the abuse of cancer patients, their families, and their communities
A few weeks ago, I wrote to you concerning the Houston cancer doctor Stanislaw Burzynski, and requested that you take action and look into how he was able to continue treating cancer patients for decades under the auspices of clinical trials with an unproven treatment he claims to have discovered, patented, manufactures, prescribes, and sells (at his in house pharmacy) at exorbitant prices
On Friday November 15, Dr. Burzynski was the subject of a front-page exposé in the USA Today
Additionally, since I last contacted your office, the FDA has released site inspection notes into the electronic FOIA reading room about Stanislaw Burzynski in his role as Principal Investigator (also included)
The findings were horrifying
Burzynski (as investigator, the subject of the inspection) “failed to comply with protocol requirements related to the primary outcome, therapeutic response […] for 67% of study subjects reviewed during the inspection.”
This means that several patients who were reported as “complete responses” did not meet the criteria defined in the investigational plan, as were patients who were reported as having a “partial response” and “stable disease.”
This means that his outcomes figures for these studies are inaccurate
Some patients admitted failed to meet the inclusion criteria for the study
Even though patients needed to have a physician back home to monitor their progress prior to enrolling in a trial, the FDA found a patient who began receiving treatment before a doctor had been found
The FDA told Burzynski:
“You failed to protect the rights, safety, and welfare of subjects under your care
Forty-eight (48) subjects experienced 102 investigational overdoses between January 1, 2005 and February 22, 2013, according to the [trial number redacted] List of Hospitalizations/SAE (serious adverse events) [redacted] Overdose [redacted]/Catheter Infection report
Overdose incidents have been reported to you [….]
There is no documentation to show that you have implemented corrective actions during this time period to ensure the safety and welfare of subjects.” [emphasis added]
It seems that these overdoses are related to the protocol, which requires family members to administer the drugs via programmable pump on their own
Further, patient records show that there were many more overdoses that were not included in the Hospitalization/SAE/Overdose list
The FDA reported:
“Your […] tumor measurements initially recorded on worksheets at baseline and on-study treatment […] studies for all study subjects were destroyed and are not available for FDA inspectional review.”
This is one of the most damning statements, as without any…not a single baseline measurement…there is no way to determine any actual effect of the antineoplaston treatment
This means that Burzynski’s studies–which by last account cost $30,000 to begin and $7000 a month to maintain–are unpublishable
It will be stunning if this finding alone were not investigated by legal authorities
Patients who had Grade 3 or 4 toxic effects were supposed to be removed from treatment
One patient had 3 Grade 3 events followed by 3 Grade 4 events
Another patient had 7 disqualifying toxic events before he was removed from the study
Burzynski did not report all adverse events as required by his study protocols
One patient had 12 events of hypernatremia (high sodium), none of which was reported
There are several similar patients
Some adverse events were not reported to the Burzynski Clinic IRB for years
For instance one patient had an adverse event in 1998 and the oversight board did not hear about it until 2005.)
The FDA observed that the informed consent document did not include a statement of extra costs that might be incurred
Specifically, some informed consent documents were signed days to weeks before billing agreements, and in a couple of cases no consent form could be found
The clinic was unable to account for its stock of the investigational drug, an act that would get any other research lab shut down
Sadly, a child, Josia Cotto, had to die from apparent sodium overload before this investigation could be carried out
Despite these findings, when interviewed by USA Today, Burzynski actually said of his former cancer patients:
“As for criticism from former patients, Burzynski says, ‘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
And many of them would like to get money from us
They pretend they got sick and they would like to extort money from us.’”
I am asking you to help me understand what happened at the FDA to allow this man to conduct clinical trials and bankrupt patients in the process despite 10 years of alarming reviews by the FDA
I also ask you to support an investigation into this betrayal of over 8,000 patients and to push for legislation to prevent the most desperate patients from such unthinkable exploitation
I will be calling your office next week to touch base with you and I look forward to your response
Does anyone know SHARON HILL??? ——————————————————————
—————————————————————— no ?
NoNo ??
NO NEVER MATTER ——————————————————————
—————————————————————— NOT HARDLY !
If it’s “Doubtful News”, that’s a “Hint and a Half” that it’s “Doubtful” it’s “News” [1]
In fact, I first received confirmation that what flows down-Hill was definitely, NO doubtfully, NOT news, when she displayed her “propensity” for “density” on #Forbes [2] ——————————————————————
—————————————————————— “Orac”, “The Skeptics™” Dope-on-a-Rope Pope. claimed:
4/19/2013 – “also obsessively read anything posted about Eric Merola or Stanislaw Burzynski on any social media.” ——————————————————————
—————————————————————— 5/7/2013 – “If “Orac” was anywhere close to being 75% sure, I would have already reviewed “Doubtful News,” which received “free pub” on Forbes ——————————————————————
—————————————————————— “The Skeptics™” must have got into Liz Szabo’s ear, since she subsequently short-sheeted herself by being unable to answer her own question ——————————————————————
——————————————————————
Maybe Szabo shoulda asked the F.D.A. !! ——————————————————————
——————————————————————
All that Jerry Mosemak (@jmosemak), Connie Mosemak, and Mosemak Creative(@mosemakcreative) wanted to know was what Twitter thought of their Twerk ——————————————————————
—————————————————————— Bob Blaskiewicz, fresh off the AstroTurf campaign with “Orac’s”orifice, seemed ready to really be headed, right in to rectify on Liz’s ——————————————————————
—————————————————————— Liz, do you really want this anywhere around your backside ? ——————————————————————
—————————————————————— Bob-B obviously confused Liz Szabo with being a “journalist“, when she is a “reporter“
Ms. Szabo, is obviously NOT a“journalist”
—————————————————————— Liz Szabo(USA TODAY) – health reporter, medical reporter covering cancer, heart disease, pediatrics, public health, women’s health, kids/parenting, …
——————————————————————
The question is, how did a “reporter” like Liz Szabo, manage to get her name as the reporter“headlining”“The Skeptics™”“report,” instead of Robert Hanashiro?
Hanashiro had under his belt:
—————————————————————— 8/3/2011 – Urine test may help predict prostate cancer risk [4]
——————————————————————
The best Szabo could cite as support was:
—————————————————————— 3/19/2008 – “Prostate cancer treatments’ sexual, urinary side effects compared”[5]

Exactly how didLiz Szabo“win” that “pissing contest”?
Even a monkey can report the news:

If @LizSzabo wanted to do a REALarticle on “selling false hope to cancer patients”, then USA TODAY should have done an “investigation” on something like THIS: ====================================== 8/25/2010, Wednesday[7]
—————————————————————— Canadian Man Sentenced to 33 Months (2 years 9 months) in Prison for Selling Counterfeit Cancer Drugs Using the Internet
Hazim Gaber, 22, of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada sentenced in Phoenix, Arizona by U.S. District Court JudgeJames A. Teilborg
Ordered to pay $128,724($75,000fine$53,724in restitution)
Serve 3 years of supervised release following prison term for selling counterfeit cancer drugs using Internet
—————————————————————— 6/30/2009 – indicted by federal grand jury in Phoenix, Arizona: 5 counts of wire fraud for selling counterfeit cancer drugs through website DCAdvice.com
—————————————————————— 7/25/2009 – arrested Frankfurt, Germany
—————————————————————— 12/18/2009 – extradited to United States
—————————————————————— 5/2010 – plea hearing: admitted selling what he falsely claimed was experimental cancer drug sodium dichloroacetate, also known as DCA, to at least 65 victims (.10/2007 – 11/2007) in:
1. United States
2. Canada
3. United Kingdom
4. Belgium
5. the Netherlands
According to plea agreement, charged: $23.68 for 10grams of purported DCA $45.52 for 20grams
or $110.27 for 100grams
plus shipping
Admitted sent victims white powdery substance later determined through laboratory tests to contain:
1. dextrin
2. dextrose
3. lactose
4. starch Contained no DCA
According to court documents, along with counterfeit DCA, packages also contained fraudulent certificate of analysis from fictitious laboratory and instructions on how dilute and ingest bogus DCA
DCA is experimental cancer drug not yet approved by U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in United States
According to plea agreement knew that website DCAdvice.com contained false claims it was only legal supplier of DCA and falsely claimed it was associated with University of Alberta
According to information contained in plea agreement, DCA is odorless, colorless, inexpensive, relatively non-toxic experimental cancer drug highly sought by cancer patients
Doctor at University of Alberta in Canada published report in early 2007 summarizing results of study, which showed DCA caused regression in several cancers, including:
1. breast cancer
2. cancerous brain tumors
3. lung cancer
According to information contained in plea agreement, DCA cannot be prescribed by medical doctor in:
1. United States
or
2. Canada
since:
1. it is not approved for use in patients with cancer
2. nor is DCA available in pharmacies
As part of plea agreement, agreed to:
1. forfeit
or
2. cancel
any:
1. website
2. domain name
3. Internet services account
related to fraud scheme
“Hazim Gaber went from selling false hope to cancer patients to now spending 33 months in a U.S. prison,”
said Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer of Criminal Division
“Criminals often seek to exploit the most vulnerable of victims – but offering fake, unapproved medication to cancer patients reaches a new low”
“Today’s sentence shows that cyber criminals who prey on the seriously ill cannot elude justice simply by committing crimes outside of our borders.”
“Gaber used the Internet to victimize people already suffering from the effects of cancer,”
said Dennis K. Burke, U.S. Attorney for District of Arizona
“Now he will go to prison for this bogus business and heartless fraud.”
“The FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office are committed to pursuing individuals who prey on those who are living with the affects of cancer,”
said Nathan Gray, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Phoenix Division
“Today’s sentencing illustrates international law enforcement partners working together to send a message not to use the Internet to perpetuate fraud, especially against those afflicted with a serious medical condition.”
Sentencing part of larger department-wide effort led by Department of Justice Task Force on Intellectual Property (IP Task Force)
Attorney General Eric Holder created IP Task Force to combat growing number of:
1. domestic
2. international
3. intellectual property crimes
protect:
1. health
2. safety
of American consumers
safeguard nation’s economic security against those who seek to profit illegally from American creativity, innovation and hard work
IP Task Force seeks to strengthen intellectual property rights protection through heightened:
1. civil enforcement
2. criminal enforcement
greater coordination among:
1. federal
2. state
3. local
law enforcement partners
increased focus on international enforcement efforts, including reinforcing relationships with key:
1. foreign partners
2. U.S. industry leaders

Government contends has certain civil claims against Northwestern arising out of Northwestern’s improper submission of claims to NIH for grant expenditures for items that were for personal benefit of:
1. Dr. Bennett
2. family
3. friends
incurred in connection with grants as to which he was principal investigator
Northwestern, fully cooperated during investigation, did not admit liability as part of settlement
Agreement releases university and all its affiliates and employees, other than Dr. Bennett, from claims made in whistleblower lawsuit
Northwestern agreed to pay settlement within 14 business days
Agreement covers allegations university submitted false claims to NIH for costs Dr. Bennett incurred on grant-funded research projects involving:

Emory Settlement Agreement ====================================== 5/24/1993 – Court Testimony Of Nicholas Patronas, MD:
—————————————————————— Pg. 122
—————————————————————— “We have done– we have an experimental protocol at the NIH where we inject a chemotherapeutic agent through the carotid artery, the artery that goes to the brain, and we have three survivals with this technique, by providing massive amounts of chemotherapeutic drugs to the brain that harbors the tumor“
“And we destroy the tumor, but we destroy a large part of the brain as well, and the patients became severely handicapped, and a life that’s not worth living“
—————————————————————— Pg. 123
—————————————————————— “And so I have three cases with this particular experimental protocol which resulted in killing the tumor, but a large part of the healthy brain as well“
“So overall the protocol was abandoned and is not any more in effect because of the serious side effects that we witnessed”
—————————————————————— Nicholas J. Patronas National Institutes of Health(NIH) http://www.cc.nih.gov/drd/staff/nicholas_patronas.html
—————————————————————— Sharon Hill, you’re just a footnote to this article, because all you did was “cut-and-paste”, and try to pass off David H. Gorski, M.D., Ph.D., FACS and Bob Blaskiewicz as “reliable sources”
You’ve gotta be kidding me !!!
—————————————————————— P.S. A fifth-grader can “cut-and-paste”
Bob ‘n Weave Blaskiewiczselected from his select“Sexual Predator”syllabus he must cite from; during sessions like his series at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, where he surely must supply sorry examples of how to supposedly elicit a “Pavlov’s dog”style series of events from confused children; who’ve been told to “not talk to strangers,” and “never go anywhere with someone you don’t know,” when he Gabroni’s this gem and juice:
—————————————————————— “He IS big pharma” [1]
——————————————————————
How quaint
Bob is unable to back-up his biasedtalking-headbrillnuance
But he hopes mightily that his brilliance of adding the nut menageriesymbolism of menutgerie:
—————————————————————— “He uses the same legal loopholes available to drug companies … “[2]
——————————————————————
Basically, “The Skeptics™,” according to Bob, believe that every law they disagree with is a “legal loophole,” but every law they might not agree with, but which their opposition feels is a “legal loophole,” is a valid law to them
But I digress
Bob would have you believe that he thinks his readers are NOTsmarter than a fifth-grader; and perhaps that belief is well founded, because a lot of Bob’s regular followers may not really be:smarter than a 5tłh-grader”, based on his theory that if a child were instructed to never go somewhere with a stranger, Bob believes that children, like his readers, can be “suckered” into ignoring warnings, and instead, if they are told a “plausible story” like:
—————————————————————— “Your parent needs your help and they want you to follow me”
“They have some candy for you”
——————————————————————
they will forego that which they have been told is the intelligent, correct choice, for the big, shiny, fruit of the stupid sticktree
——————————————————————
Now, let’s review Blatherskitewicz’s attempt at Tolstory:
—————————————————————— “He IS big pharma”:“He uses the same legal loopholes available to drug companies … “
——————————————————————
A 5th-grader is smart enough to see through Bobby’spiss-poorPulitzer Prizephallicy
Bobbyexcretedend-runattempt around intelligent-design, is his word-salad salute to “Stupid is, as Stupid Does”
He tries to MisDisInform, by depositing that because Burzynski has to use the same, as he puts it, “legal loopholes” as BILLION Pharma, that this somehow translates into Burzynskibeing Big Pharma
Jeepers, creepers, this would be akin to me attempting to pull a Pol Pot over your Peepers, by trying to claim that just because Bobby Blatherskitewicz sits down and uses the same type of device; a toilet, to attempt to rid himself of what he is obviously “full of,” that this means he is smarter than a 5th-grader who uses the same device, when it is clear that even medical-grade cannabis couldn’t help Bobby Blatherskite be smarter than a 5th-grader
—————————————————————— “He IS big pharma”: “He uses the same large poophole“, and even the largest roll of Charmin in the world wouldn’t help him
——————————————————————
Since Booby couldn’t name an actual Big pharmaceutical company to contrast Burzynski with, let’s take a look at one, shall we ?
—————————————————————— 2/7/2012, Monday, GlaxoSmithKline LLC(GSK) was fined $3 BILLION ($3,000,000,000 Billion) dollars, for actions which occurred from (4/1998 – 2007)

Walt Comprehensive Breast Center, American College of Surgeons Committee on Cancer, Institute for Science in Medicine, #sciencebasedmedicine, science based medicine, National Geographic’s (#NatGeo) scienceblogs, Respectful Insolence, @gorskon, @oracknows, @ScienceBasedMed“fame”, is a certifiable “Hack” 😷
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 😶
