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 …
The Burzynski Clinic
The Burzynski Clinic is a clinic dedicated to treating cancer patients. It is based in Houston, Texas. It pioneers a treatment called antineoplaston therapy. Except, this treatment isn’t pioneering. It isn’t effective. It does not work. And yet, the Burzynski Clinic continue to profit off it. I am sickened and appalled that cancer patients are …
Mental Health Issues
This is a blog post about my mental health issues. I am depressed and I have general anxiety problems. I was diagnosed with depression earlier this year. I’d been suffering with symptoms for a while – feeling sad most of the time, self-loathing, insomnia. These had been affecting me for years on and off. Only …

It is based upon an investigation by the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection, titled “The Ugly Truth”, …
First ASA Win!
Yay! My first ASA win is no longer under “embargo”. I’ve decided that, for the sheer hell of it, I will post a copy of my complaint about this website. Check the Freezepages to see what they were and the non-Freezepage links to see what they are now. Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to you …
ThinkCon: Can You Make A Difference?
Last night (19th March, 2011) was ThinkCon, an evening of skeptical goodness. The event was titled: “Can You Make A Difference?” and the speakers all gave their experiences about how they have made a difference. The evening was chaired by Gia Milinovich and the speakers were: Me. I was the first person to speak. I …
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, …
