Burzynski: Morally reprehensible
I find Dr Stanislaw Burzynski morally reprehensible. I think this because his treatment is sold for extortionate amounts of money to vulnerable, dying cancer patients in their last months – sometimes bringing them thousands of miles away from the majority of their family – so they can be injected with a drug that’s been in …
Threats from The Burzynski Clinic
You probably haven’t heard of a man named Stanislaw Burzynski. He offers a treatment called antineoplaston therapy, which he claims can treat cancer, in a centre called the Burzynski Clinic in Houston, Texas. That’s quite a claim, but the Nobel Prize Committee does not need to convene quite yet, because this treatment has been in …

Remission
For the last time, before I get any more stupid comments suggesting some ridiculous quacky cure… Unless you are a gastroenterologist/immunologist or some expert on Crohn’s, I don’t care what cured your friend when you suggested it to them, I will not use your cure/treatment. This includes: Squatting Herbs Unproven treatments Cutting out dairy Actually, …
