I have a BIG problem with this—and all cancer quackery—and that's informed consent. Quacks always overpromise and underestimate the risks. Also, these parents are the victims of a con and that's how I view these cases, as examples of fraud that actively harms the child.https://twitter.com/ABatemanHouse/status/1040657617109086210 …
At least one due to hypernatremia (that we know of). The PICU staff at Texas Children's Hospital hates Burzynski because they get to try to salvage his complications.

Yes, I remember talking to them when one of my patients showed up there with electrolyte derangements. I suspect by now they have a pathway and standard order set built into their electronic medical record for these patients.

Well, given that they most common complication is serious hypernatremia, the treatment pathway for hypernatremia would probably suffice. OTOH, they all also have cancer, most of them brain tumors of some sort.
